SESSION 877 (DELETED)

(This session has so much general application that I’m including it in the regular record. At the same time, an extra copy of it is inserted into the deleted notebooks so that Jane can refer to it along with the rest of the material Seth has given for her.

(Wade Alexander and his son Brian visited us for 3/4 of an hour at supper time. We discussed the Seth tapes Wade is keeping for us, and Yale University Library. The visit was very pleasant but it disrupted our schedule enough so that we ate an hour later than usual. This in turn left Jane feeling not quite ready for the session at the usual time. But we sat for it as usual, and eventually Jane began to feel Seth around.

(This reminded her that sometime this afternoon she’d picked up something from Seth about a topic for this evening’s session. She’d forgotten what it was, though —“except that it wasn’t about me.”

(Earlier this afternoon Jane reread several deleted sessions dating from 1973. They left her feeling quite relaxed, so that she took her nap earlier than usual, and passed up her exercise period. The material in those sessions concerned her ideas of work, spontaneity, and order, among other things. She’d thought that spontaneity didn’t have any order.)

(Pause.) All creativity is basically joyful, it is play in the highest sense of that term, and it is always alive with motion. The sessions and our work can help bring about a new mental race of men and women. (Whispering:) Ideas change the chromosomes, but the sessions and Ruburt’s books, and so forth, must first and foremost be joyful expressions of creativity, spontaneous expression that fall into their own order. So have him avoid undue feelings of responsibility and heavy-handed attitudes.

He should indeed reread those sessions that he read today, and you paint because you love to paint, and forget what an artist is supposed to be or not to be. Have Ruburt forget what a writer or a psychic is supposed to be or not to be. Ruburt’s spontaneity let all of his creative abilities emerge. It is foolhardy to try and apply discipline, or secondary order, to a spontaneous creativity that automatically gives you the finest order that nature could ever provide.

End of session, and a fond good evening.

(9:59 PM. The notes Seth referred to are those I wrote this afternoon and tonight for the first session of the latest Seth book, Mass Events. They’re rough and too long yet, but Jane liked them. I’ve been leading up to the actual writing for a couple of weeks now, what with my making chronologies, and so forth, and will be happy to get really into it. At the moment I still feel that I’m searching for that one intense focus-approach to my work for Mass Reality that will finally mean I’m under way on that project.)
