Good evening.

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

For a while however none should be missed, except for very good cause. The reaction following sessions has simply been the arousal of antagonism. The symptoms have been a defense against the sort of self-enlightenment that I am now giving in the sessions.

His abilities have been developing rather rapidly of late, and this shows a basic inner improvement—a lack of previous blockage, that will soon be more distinguishable in physical terms.

He is progressing. The desperation caused by the symptoms became greater than the problem behind them. This alone showed him that his solution was wrong.
