(10:35. Jane paused briefly, her eyes closed. Suddenly her voice became high-pitched and, at first, quite incomprehensible to me because of the rapidity of her speech. The effect was remarkably like that of a tape recording played too fast: Her voice went way up the scale, issuing from stiffly held lips. After a few moments I began to understand her:) “— on another level this is completely unintelligible — at another level the pieces are completely unintelligible —”
4. By the time the 612th session was held we were finally getting back into our old rhythms of work; they’d been seriously disrupted by the flood caused by Tropical Storm Agnes in June 1972. Just before the flood materialized (over two months ago), Seth-Jane had completed the Preface and the first session for Chapter 1 of Personal Reality; see the opening notes for Session 613 in that work.
“That particular kind of relaxation seems to repeatedly come upon me over a period of several months or even a year, then to vanish for the same amount of time. I first felt it right after we moved into the new apartment in June 1971, and when it started I knew it was a different kind of feeling. It’s a sort of super-relaxation; almost profound, and mental and physical at once. A completely different thing than just yawning, even though I might be yawning.
11. According to modern cosmology, a black hole consists of the remains of a very massive star (one much larger than our own sun, for example) that’s suffered complete gravitational collapse after the death of its nuclear fires. Such an object is very small and unimaginably dense; within it, time and space are interchangeable. It’s also quite invisible, because its surface gravity is so enormous that not even light can escape from it. (Yet, in Volume 1, see the comments in Note 4 for Session 688, on the possibility of light radiation from the “event horizon” of the black hole.) So far just two black holes have been tentatively located, although many of them are believed to exist.
