SESSION 373 (DELETED)

(This session is deleted from the record. Before the session Jane and I held a general discussion re her improvement, my parents’ serious situation, Jane’s recent days of writing poetry. Including one she wrote today involving her grandfather.

(In the last session, 372nd, October 16, 1967, Seth predicted good sales for Jane’s ESP book. The next day Jane got a letter from F. Fell in which he outlined plans for the start of a national ad campaign to promote the book. First ad already scheduled in a national publication.)

(Long pause, eyes closed.) This session itself should aid your understanding enough to allow some improvement almost immediately in the condition itself. Two issues are involved. The painting was an act of defiance against your mother, an act of independence. She approved of the commercial art because it made money. Therefore if you made money through your paintings, then subconsciously you thought that your mother would still be getting her way. You see?

We will take a break or end the session. We will go further into this material, but have reached some that is difficult to get through clearly.

(10:04. Jane said she had been well dissociated. I thought that perhaps Seth asked about an end to the session because Jane was blocking material about me she thought I might not like to hear. We now had a discussion about my motives in painting; I hoped it would release any blocks Jane might have set up. Seth then broke in at 10:15.)

Now. For you the abstracts also represent excellent exercises in the free flow of spontaneity, and this benefits your other paintings also. The other questions that you have in mind, and such material, will be discussed in our next session.
