DELETED SESSION

(Personal session, not included in the record.)

(Seth was quite emphatic here, and half humorous. In spite of our seriousness I had to laugh. I found myself doing this in many spots through the session, though half of it, I believe, was in frustration. Jane’s delivery throughout was fairly rapid.)

I suggest that you take your break, and we shall continue. Some of the material tonight on the creative personality should help you understand other points that we have not discussed. The determination to attempt so much, the responsibility to use potential, helped make our sessions possible. It is two-edged therefore. It helps bring about Ruburt’s greatest accomplishments, and yet at the same time, overemphasized, it can become a source of failures.

That is why I am giving this material in this session. Tell him he does not have to be spiritually, psychically, or creatively perfect in order to have good health, in the particular way I gave that statement; remind him, for he is equating perfect health with inner perfection, and no human being attains inner perfection. He is holding off (emphatic) on good health until he feels he deserves it. Now this is a point that has not come up before, and he does not realize this consciously.

Your own loving endeavors of late have been very helpful, again, however, and helped bring about this session this evening, with this material.

—I’ll shortly close. A few more points however. Discuss particularly the early portion of this session with him, and get it through his head that health is not dependent upon perfect performance, creativity, psychically or spiritually. This is extremely important, for this is a strong belief with him now; and he did not see the humor when he heard what I said—it made perfect sense to him. This is an area where you can help him.

(This is very important. Seth is right. Jane didn’t see the humor, at first, and was still questioning me about this several days after this session was held. But we are making progress now.)

Another point. To some extent he has always felt guilty at the work involved in your writing up the sessions, and when my book began he felt this twice as badly, you see.

(If Jane cares to, she can excerpt Seth’s book from these sessions, typing up her own copy for personal use; but I think also that the book should be included in the body of the regular sessions, whenever it pops up—part of the regular record, as always.)

(“Is this material tonight related to all those earlier sessions you gave us, on Jane’s early background, etc?”)

(“Yes.” 11:25. The rest of the session is taken up with Seth’s analysis of some arm trouble Peggy Gallagher has been having; this material is on file. None of this session is included in regular records. I think it all excellent.

I will meet with you then at our next session, our regular session.

(The entire session is deleted from regular records.)
