DELETED SESSION

(The day after the last session I wrote down a question for Seth. I’ve thought about it often since last Thursday, then: Is Jane going to have to make known to herself consciously every bit of information about her symptoms before she recovers? I had the question partly because of something she’d said herself before the last session—and which I’ve now forgotten—and partly because I didn’t believe that most people were able to deal with such procedures in their daily lives. Indeed, they wouldn’t have the time or the talent to make consciously known to themselves all the details of their challenges that had made them ill to begin with. As a society we’re generally not organized that way to begin with.

(My viewpoint was that it was impossible for me not to have strong feelings about the situation, even though—as I said—I agreed that her paper was a highly creative piece of work, that it augured well for the future, and that it was so far easily the best material we’d gotten on the symptom affair. Yet I still felt questions and statements going around in my head as we retired—and as is often the case in such situations I wondered if I’d gone too far in my reactions, and needlessly interfered with Jane’s attempts to probe into and understand a most difficult challenge. My question, above, was an outgrowth of my own feelings and questionings. I read it to her as we sat for tonight’s session, and she agreed it was a good one.)

(“I don’t really feel like a session,” she said at 8:20. “So much is going on in my body I don’t know what’s going on....”

(Pause.) As that happens, the Sinful Self will also be able to take greater benefit from our sessions. You can see the Sinful Self’s connection with creativity easily, as it communicated through its document, which is for example very well written, carrying its own flavor. You can also see where it is lacking: it has displayed little sense of playfulness, for example, or of expansion. It is overly serious, overly conscientious, and its thinking is largely in black-and-white terms. For all of that, it shares philosophic concerns that deeply interest the entire personality, so there is plenty of ground for a give-and-take.

Some may even be initiated from the sessions. It is important that such portions of the self speak for themselves right now. I do not want to anticipate such communications, because Ruburt needs the direct encounter, so to speak.

(Long pause.) The more stimuli, thoughts, desires and material of a diverse nature brought into the system—within reason—the greater the amount of material the inner self has to work with and put together in its own creative fashions—but do remember those sessions given that remind Ruburt that his body can indeed recover, that he can indeed trust his body’s processes, and that he should not compare his life with anyone else’s, but trust in the entire fabric of his existence, and you indeed should trust the entire fabric of your own.

End of session. I bid you a fond good evening—and again, remind you that session events are also taking place at other levels of activity. (Pause.) A fond good evening.
