Some of this throws light on current experience. The religious background was there. At his preference and demand, he changed from a public to a Catholic school after the third grade.4 This was against his mother’s judgment. She felt that public schools were better and more socially beneficial. Ruburt, at that age — when he changed at the third grade — had quite a will then, in that he forced his mother to acquiesce to the change of schools. He put up such a fuss, Ruburt, and held such temper tantrums, that permission was given. He was stubborn even then.
Eventually Jane’s grandfather, Joseph Burdo, with whom she shared a deep mystical identification, was unable to support two extra people, and the family had to rely upon public assistance. Jane’s grandmother was killed in an automobile accident in 1936. The next year, her grandfather moved out of the house. By then Marie was partially incapacitated, and the Welfare Department began to furnish mother and daughter with occasional (and often unreliable) domestic help. Thus, Jane was 9 years old in 1938, when she changed schools after finishing the third grade.
Idea Construction did serve as a psychic trigger, however; it led Jane to her outline for How to Develop Your ESP Power (see Note 2 for Seth’s Preface in this book), then to the beginning of the Seth sessions two months later. “Enough energy was generated in that evening to change the direction of my life and my husband’s,” she wrote in Chapter 1 of The Seth Material. In that chapter she examines the experience in some detail, and gives excerpts from Idea Construction itself. In Seth Speaks, see her Introduction and Session 596 in the Appendix for further references to that original manuscript.
9. I described that childhood photograph of myself at the beginning of the session. My parents had three sons. As the oldest, I was born on June 20, 1919; next came Linden, 13 months later; the youngest, Richard, followed me by 9 years. (Both names have been changed.)
