She repeated it as best she could: “....a closed, emotionally charged mental environment, in which the characteristics of individuality were purposefully undermined.” Then a little later she picked up some more material while doing her exercises.

(10:36 PM. “I’m a natural stewer,” Jane said. “I’ve just been wanting him to finish that chapter on the book. Maybe he can do one session a week on the book, and one on other stuff we want, or that comes up....” She’s mentioned having Seth get back to Mass Reality quite often lately, so we know that’s what will happen soon.)
