DELETED SESSION

(I had four questions for Seth. 1. Why does Jane often feel blue when she wakes up from naps? 2. Why does she have trouble typing manuscripts—as with Seven currently? 3. A couple of days ago I wondered aloud if part of Jane’s difficulties might stem from her blocking out impressions that she may be picking up at random from those around her, as well as from the environment. The idea being that she may fear something like invasion, in exaggerated form and so has set up a rigid system of physical, symbolic protection. Such a need wouldn’t have developed, of course, until she became aware of her psychic abilities to begin with. 4. As we discussed those questions before the session, I wondered whether the poor results of her daily predictions concerning the mail might have a similar basis, whether she told herself or not that she wanted such impressions to work out.

There are periods of rest necessary, so for a while Ruburt did not write down his feelings. He was tired of dealing with them. Now they are coming to the forefront again, and Ruburt is tying them into your early springtime pendulum sessions, so that some new benefits now can come from that old work.

The decision to have the interview of itself meant that Ruburt was less afraid. The event of the interview showed you both, in concentrated form, how much you hid from others, and led to the further decision as described in our last session–not to hide Ruburt’s condition, and not to be apologetic about it either.

When he danced, he often felt that he was dancing out the emotions of others. When our sessions began I spoke to you in an intellectual rather than emotional manner. In the beginning the two of you experimented more or less together, with your psy-time and so forth. You did not allow yourself to be moved by people to the extent that Ruburt sometimes did.

I am not making judgments now, but showing reactions—so the two of you hid the sessions from the beginning, for example. You tried to fit the sessions into the scientific context, as you thought was right, with the testing and so forth. None of that spoke of any great emotional exhibitionism, yet both of you feared it. Ruburt has pared down his abilities (as I mentioned before the session). He has pared them down to those he could reasonably explain intellectually.

This is rather an important session, and your dream contests represent your desires to pay more attention again to inner realities.

Read this session carefully, and pay attention to it. Try to be somewhat daring in your ways together, and less cautious and inhibited. The session should give both of you important hints to release your own creativity, and when Ruburt is feeling blue about something, if he does not discuss it with you, he should write the feelings down at once.

End of session.
