(Tonight at session time the small television set on its swivel arm was on, opposite Jane’s left knee. Her broken right leg [just above the knee] leaned against her left leg. The television picture was on but the sound was off. Jane had just finished a cigarette. Actually, I thought, this was almost an ideal time to try for a session in the hospital, for after supper she wasn’t apt to be bothered by staff people for some little time.
(Almost as soon as she said she’d try to have a short session, she started right in. I just had time to write the time on my pad. Her Seth voice was deeper than her usual voice to some extent, but it wasn’t loud, and I was sure no one would notice anything unusual sound-wise from the hall outside the closed door of room 330. Jane’s eyes remained open, but she took few long pauses.)

(Pause at 7:03.) I do not imagine we will go so long a time between sessions again, and I am speaking therefore to reassure you that I am still present. Let Ruburt take a cigarette break, and then I may speak again for a short time—but if not, do not be discouraged, for in any case this session marks a new beginning.

(7:42 PM. Jane’s voice had been the same as before: deeper but not loud; I’d felt good energy in it, I told her.

(Jane said the session “felt good” while she was doing it. She hadn’t been sure Seth would return after the Gallaghers left. For myself, I felt a distinct resurgence of hope as I cleaned my stuff up after the session, and we talked while I got ready to go home for supper. I couldn’t help but feel better.

(A note added the next morning: I was especially pleased to hear Seth talk of redemption, for that’s one of the main themes I tried to explore in the essays for Dreams—redemption on many levels, even though we may not grasp what’s transpiring on a number of those levels. But more and more, ever since he gave that session, some time ago now, on redemption, I’ve come to believe that the very idea or theme of redemption may be the major path we follow in physical life.)
