[...] One day in April, 1973, she had a fine series of encounters with massiveness, many of them embodying those extra qualities; see her own account of the whole adventure in the notes for the 653rd session in Chapter 13 of Personal Reality.

[...] (Several years later, Jane was to list nine such inner senses in Chapter 19 of The Seth Material.) Jane said that upon coming slowly awake from her nap she’d had the very peculiar feeling of ‘growing larger.’ The laughing phrase she used was that she’d felt as ‘big as an elephant.’ Her boundaries of awareness seemed to have expanded. [...]

[...] Her first massive sensations in March [estimated], 1962, were followed by these phenomena in 1963: our York Beach experiences in August; her reception of Idea Construction in September; her massive feelings in October [estimated]; the outline she produced for ESP Power [or The Coming of Seth] as a result of the Idea Construction adventure; and the beginning of these sessions in November, through our trying certain experiments listed in that outline [as Jane explains in Chapter 1 of The Seth Material]. [...]

Dictation: Chapter Seven: “The Living Flesh.”

CHAPTER 7

FROM CHAPTER 11

(From Chapter 11, page 128:

Now: We will resume dictation, and we are beginning Chapter Eight. [...]

Now: I wanted to begin this chapter this evening so that we would have a good start. [...]

While you continue to exist and develop as an individual, your whole self, or soul, has such vast potential, that it can never be expressed fully through one personality, as somewhat explained in one previous chapter.

CHAPTER 7

(Humorously): Now: Chapter Ten: “‘Death’ Conditions in Life.” (Seth repeated this chapter heading to make sure I punctuated it correctly.)

[...] “He’s got the whole rest of that chapter planned,” she said when she came out of it. [...]

CHAPTER 10

(9:36.) Chapter Three.

CHAPTER 3

[...] Check chapter 3 James. [...]

[...] They might want me to cut the first three chapters—not cut them out, but condense them.

[...] But she did not remember specifics: that the first three chapters might be cut, etc.

We will begin Chapter Two.

I will explain these inner senses to you later, at the end of this chapter. [...]

CHAPTER 2

Give us a moment … We will begin the next chapter, to be called: “States of Health and Disease” — the entire sentence in quotations.

I used quotation marks around the entire heading for this chapter to stress the point that the heading is written with your own ideas of health and disease in mind. [...]

CHAPTER 6

(Pause at 10:32.) Next chapter [Eighteen]: “Inner Storms and Outer Storms. [...]

[...] As far back as the 613th session in Chapter One, Seth was making statements like this: “Your feelings have electromagnetic realities that rise outward, affecting the atmosphere itself,” but at the time we paid little attention to the implications behind such ideas. [...]

I told you that a dis-ease (with the hyphen) can have a creative basis (in the 620th session in Chapter Four). And so can an earthquake or a natural disaster.

CHAPTER 18

1. Jane uses “multipersonhood” on the last page of Chapter 11 in her Adventures in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology. “But really,” she said, “the whole chapter builds up toward that definition, or idea.” [...]

2. In connection with Seth’s discussion of animals and men here, see his excellent material in Chapter 12 of Personal Reality. Summarizing parts of that chapter very simply: In Session 647 Seth goes into the challenges early man faced as he contended with his own burgeoning consciousness. [...]

(In an effort to reassure her, I looked up what Seth said in Chapter 9 of Personal Reality, and showed it to her. [...]

[...] Seth broached the idea of Through My Eyes in Chapter 6 of Personal Reality. [...]

14. For one example of Jane and Seth on cellular memory (among other subjects), see the 653rd session as it bridges chapters 13 and 14 in Personal Reality. Jane also discussed some of the material in that session in Chapter 17 of Adventures.

And added later: Jane presented my account of the Maumee episode, as well as portions of the 721st session itself, in Chapter 12 of Politics.

2. And eventually Jane did describe her day’s work in Politics. See the opening pages of Chapter 11.

[...] However, as Jane wrote later in Chapter 11 of Politics: “Finding out what’s happening to electrons, say, is something I really enjoy. [...]

[...] (See the 614th session in Chapter Two, for instance.)

[...] (See the 618th session in Chapter Three.) If to you this means, “I give great attention to seeing that my children brush their teeth, eat enough, and perform properly,” then you will interpret the “better and better” suggestion in that light.

Now: We are nearly at the end of Chapter Four. [...]

[...] Her own work has been going well for the most part, however—she expects to finish Chapter 12 of God of Jane tomorrow. [...] As for myself, I’ve progressed to working with Session 860 [for June 13, 1979], which bridges chapters 8 and 9 in Mass Events.

As soon as she delivered the first phrase of the first full sentence for Chapter 6, I recalled that she’d accurately quoted it to me this afternoon, saying that that was the way Seth would start the session.)

(Slowly:) Chapter Six. [...]

3. See the Preface for Dreams. In the notes immediately preceding the private session for September 13, 1979, I quoted some of the very evocative material on animal cultures and civilizations that Seth had given in Chapter 5 of Mass Events.

(Her awareness of this “probable” channel reminded me that she’d experienced a similar phenomenon in the 666th session in Chapter Eighteen. [...] See the 616th session in Chapter Two for her first encounter with multiple channels.

[...] (See sessions 662–63 in Chapter Seventeen.)

(Pause at 9:59.) Give us a moment… This is not to be a chapter devoted to war. [...]

[...] The earlier instructions on handling emotions, in Chapter Eleven, provide a framework in which hate can be faced and understood. [...]

[...] Seth spent the first portion of the session dictating on Chapter 3 of his book, The Nature of Personal Reality.)

[...] We are near the end of this chapter. [...]

Now: We will continue with the chapter we began.

[...] Close your eyes after having read this chapter to this point, and try to sense within yourself the source of power from which your own breathing and life forces come. [...]

(As is often the case, Jane said she had no memory of the first portion of the chapter, given on May 4. Resume in the same fast manner at 10:27.)

[...] In later chapters of this book, I hope to give you some practical information that will enable you to alter practically the very nature and structure of daily life.

[...] At the same time he tempered his ideas with passages like this one, from the 870th session for Chapter 10.)

(11:13.) Next chapter (4): “The Characteristics of Framework 2.” [...]
