(The effects continued to flow out of last Monday night’s session. Jane was very intrigued by the material she produced “on her own” after the session, both in the sleep state that night and in the statements she wrote the next day. See Appendix 4. As we made ready for tonight’s session at 9:10, and discussed the information she’d received, she began to feel a continuation of the experience. This time, however, it came through verbally, as dictation, although Seth wasn’t involved. I made notes on most of what she had to say; it’s presented as Appendix 5, and I suggest that the reader review it before continuing with this session.

(Jane’s trance had been very deep. Now she was bleary-eyed: “I feel as though I don’t want to think for two weeks …” Seth hadn’t said so during the session, but Jane told me she’d “picked up from him” that she should eat an extra meal a day for a while — usually late at night, as, say, after a session. Also, she should take extra exercise each day, moving as rapidly as she could. She wasn’t under any additional strain while producing “Unknown” Reality, she added, since she wanted to do it, but those simple actions would help refresh her. Her use of energy since starting the book has been lavish. Jane’s comments before tonight’s session about possible instructions from Seth are given in Appendix 5.

(After finishing Personal Reality in July, 1973, Jane and I took quite a bit of time off from our usual Monday–Wednesday session routine while we prepared that book for publication. We developed the habit of watching certain television programs on Wednesday evening, but since we’ve gone back to holding sessions regularly, we haven’t been able to see them. I suggested to Jane that we shift Wednesday night’s session to Thursday night.

(11:26. Actually, this was one of those times when it seemed that I could have continued note-taking indefinitely. Seth-Jane certainly appeared able to keep going. Jane had been in trance for an hour and forty-one minutes, but even so she was out of it rapidly. “The trances have changed since he started this book, though,” she said. “Once I get on the right track, Seth just keeps going, and I don’t want to change it or get off … I think it’s a great development. But you know: If you think you’re on to something no one else has, you’re afraid you’ll be called batty by the rest of the world … Seth is a great organizer, though. It’s like there’s a tremendous amount of work being done behind the sessions, so I can get the data — but this isn’t like the channels from Seth [as described in the 616th session in Chapter 2 of Personal Reality].”

[...] I’d say that her own awareness of multiple channels has grown out of her initial sensing of the channels available from Seth, as described in the 616th session in Chapter 2 of Personal Reality; and that her material on neurological speeds is related to the observations of Jane that were noted by Sue Watkins in Seth Speaks; see the 594th session in the Appendix of that book. I also think that a thorough search of earlier sessions would turn up many other clues, foreshadowing both eventualities.

(FOR SESSION 686)

(This appendix is an extension of the opening notes for the 686th session.

(9:10 P.M. Jane began her own dictation before tonight’s session by saying that as she’d typed her statements yesterday [for Appendix 4] she would “get glimpses” of some of the concepts Seth was going to talk about in “Unknown” Reality — yet they would immediately vanish from her consciousness, so that all she had left was the knowledge that she’d experienced the insight.
