DELETED SESSION

(Notes before session: My sportsman self. My writing and painting selves. Father’s secrecy and my identification. My financial contribution. Jane’s fears. Our creative errors. Our attitudes re Prentice. Our attitudes re correspondence. Jane’s flexibility. Her dancing. My selling paintings. Mother.

(Some used —see Appendix 2 for Session 680 in Volume 1of The “Uknown” Reality.)

They are the three strongest elements from which you could have chosen.... The love of sports and that identification always stayed with you; and because it is a strong element, you, with relative ease, now, dismissed the symptoms that you had before the sessions began. (The back trouble in 1962-3.)

Your father’s creativity, as mentioned (in other sessions), before, had its side of secrecy, privacy and aloneness. Again as mentioned, you identified creativity with your father’s private nature. The writing self became latent as the sportsman did, yet the writer self and the artist were closely bound. You felt conflicts at times. It never occurred to you that the two aspects could release one another—one illuminating the other—and both be fulfilled. Instead you saw them, basically now, as conflicting. Time spent writing meant time not spent painting.

His reaction was to not hide the ability in your way, but to force the world to accept it. Again, it is important that since the works were published—even for example the ESP book—neither of you understood your (my) financial contribution. Even to the ESP book, not just the session material that you took down. But your limited focuses blinded you. That kind of contribution was literally invisible—not legitimate, because you had not sold paintings.

(In here, I had to laugh as Seth spoke. Not in mockery, but rather in bewilderment at the seemingly endless paths that a chain of thought, once undertaken, could follow. I wondered if Jane and I could ever untangle the paths. As I told her later that evening when we lay in bed: the session seemed to chronicle a list of fears.)

Now. Psychically, developments appear in class. Freedoms achieved appear there, particularly when you are not having regular sessions. These appear before your private lives physically materialize them. Therefore, Ruburt’s new class energy is the first development that shows. This is the result of a shifting of organization in his psyche, and in yours. Your lives are reorganizing themselves, finally, into a freer framework.

Helping others also develops your own abilities in ways that you do not as yet understand. I suggest then a framework in which our sessions are featured. The sessions and their attendant results provide, literally, a multidimensional purpose that allows for your own gestalt individual achievements.

(“Thank you very much, Seth. Good night. 11:37 PM. Note that Jane hadn’t taken a break for the whole session, since it began at 9:31.
