1. Seth is letting his material automatically answer my question about early man; See Appendix 6, as well as Note 7 for Session 688. According to our dictionary, the geologic time span he indicates in tonight’s session falls within the Tertiary Period of the Cenozoic Era. This period is further broken down into epochs. The important thing here (the dictionary notes) is that many kinds of mammals were about in those far days — including “manlike apes.”

4. Many readers of the Bible will remember the famous statement in Genesis 6:4, that “There were giants in the earth in those days.” In connection with Seth’s material here, however: In the United States alone there have been many discoveries of human (and/or humanlike) tracks, both large and small, in very ancient rock formations. These have been found in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas, New Mexico, California, and other states, and range back an incredible 300 million years to the Carboniferous Period. In Texas, very clear giant-sized human tracks, dating from the Cretaceous Period of 140 million years ago, have been found intermixed in rock with those of several kinds of great dinosaurs — a discovery completely at odds with current scientific ideas that man is at most but a few million years old. (See Appendix 6 for Session 687, and Note 7 for Session 688.)

(We held just one session last week, and it did not involve work on either “Unknown” Reality or the book on health. The rest of the time we were busy with ESP class, a television show, correspondence, and other matters. Jane’s rate of delivery this evening was rather slow.)

(10:47 P.M. Jane’s trance had been excellent. She was quite willing to continue the session, but I was tiring; we decided not to go on.)

(The following material is, in part, an outgrowth of certain effects described in Personal Reality; see my notes for the 616th session, bridging chapters 2 and 3. That session was held on September 20, 1972, and the notes I’m referring to concern a new development in Jane’s abilities: her initial realization that on at least some occasions she would have more than one channel of information available from Seth. [...]

(Jane had some other insights into Seth’s multiple channels as she continued dictating Personal Reality after that session,¹ yet we continued to think of the new development as one of mostly theoretical interest. [...] That episode had taken place just before she delivered the 686th session for this volume of “Unknown” Reality, and is described in Appendix 5.
