DELETED SESSION

All of these things to some extent stand in the way of Ruburt’s recovery. They point precisely to those areas in which both of you heartily agreed, though Ruburt’s way of getting work done was not yours. This session must be taken into consideration with other ones, for I am making certain points here that are important, but that do not of course stand alone.

You can if you prefer forget terms like hypnosis, but between tonight’s and next Saturday night’s session, I strongly advise that you take a half-hour: it can be nap time. Or any time. Have Ruburt lie of the bed comfortably. You sit beside him or lie on the bed as you prefer—but verbally reassure him. Tell his body that the muscles can relax, that you are there, and it is safe for him to let go.

(11:01.) The newspapers act as hypnotic suggestion of a potent kind. There is no one present who can confirm the newspaper’s evidence. You cannot ask questions of a newspaper, or of a news program. The entire pattern of these latest sessions deals with your inner reactions to your beliefs about yourselves and the world. Tonight I am dealing with a specific area. To some extent, however. These newspaper beliefs shut you off from full utilization from Framework 2’s potency.

I have said what I intended to say. Again, these sessions are more packed than you realize. Each suggestion I give you is not only given for a reason, but has within it potentials that of course remain latent unless the suggestion is followed.

End of session.

(11:18 PM. Jane’s trance delivery had marched right along through the evening. I thought the session an excellent one. I’m still surprised, I guess, that even after all his efforts, Seth can creatively come up with fresh approaches to try to help us—this time through our examining our worlds through our personal experiences. This may not be the first time he’s ever mentioned this approach, but still it’s presented tonight with a new twist. I can only partially put what I mean into words.

(For those reasons I got a charge out of the session. Yet at the same time in a way I feel sorry for Seth, for his unceasing efforts to help seem to usually fall on infertile ground. Perhaps his attempts to reach us are often like battering at a brick wall. Although I liked the ideas in the session, then, in another way I found it discouraging, for it’s also saying that after all this time we’re still left to struggle with the old challenges; it hardly seems that we’ve moved very far off dead center, I guess. I often wonder at the great difference between Seth’s thinking and ours, yet fully agree that the three of us are closely involved. Is it possible then that although we may be closely linked, we’re also quite separate in vital ways? This seemingly contradictory state of affairs may be the best evidence of all that Seth is truly what he says he is—“a personality energy essence, no longer focused in physical reality.”)
