DELETED SESSION
[... 1 paragraph ...]
(Much damage resulted in Elmira from the storm described in last Saturday’s deleted session. Many trees were down in certain areas of the city, especially in our old neighborhood, around Water, Walnut, and Hoffman streets.
(Jane said her eyes were feeling much better, although “full of moisture,” and that the copying work she did on James, following Seth’s suggestions in the last session, went well. Her legs and ankles still felt “itchy,” as described before, and at times she had similar feelings throughout the body. General improvements, then, seemed to be under way.
(Today had been probably the hottest of the year—well into the nineties —although as we made ready for the session the temperature had dropped to some degree.)

(9:31.) Give us a moment.... It was because I knew this that I was relatively severe in our last session—wanting to make sure that both of you made the best use of that important advantage.
That session is extremely valuable. So on your list, write “Do not think in terms of absolutes.” As far as Ruburt’s condition has been concerned, you both have habitually thought so in terms of black and white that you added a narrow, limited area in which improvements might begin, but could only go so far.

End of session, unless you have questions.

We will then go into that, with other material, at our next session. Ruburt’s interpretation of last night’s dream was correct, and his dream experience will show greater depth and variety now that he has stated his intent by beginning his (dream) notebook.
End of session, and a fond good evening.

(After the session I told Jane that my concern wasn’t so much with meeting important people, as that their interest in what we do would imply some sort of acceptance or understanding on the parts of those who occupy dominant positions in society, the arts, or whatever. And I think we are well aware that many of the young people we do hear from will occupy those positions of power in tomorrow’s world. I see nothing amiss with us having some fun on our own in the meantime, though—provided we’re both willing, and understand the terms of the “games.”)
