ESP CLASS SESSION, AUGUST 17, 1971
TUESDAY

[...] I was only floundering around trying to find ways of relieving the symptoms, even if this meant suspending ESP classes, or the sessions, or whatever, while we tackled the problems at hand.

(“Do ESP classes aggravate his symptoms?”)

[...] He and Janice talked about how they had each felt something in common with the other when Phil first came to class. [...]

ESP CLASS SESSION, OCTOBER 5, 1971
TUESDAY

(The immediately preceding pages contain the session for Jane’s ESP class of Tuesday, August 20, 1968. [...]

(A note added 33 years later: This session will be presented with the eventual publication of the ESP class sessions by New Awareness Network, Inc.)

(Humorously and louder:) I am still sorry that you missed our class last week. [...]

(Last Saturday night, Jane and I presided over a “class” reminiscent of the weekly ESP classes we used to hold in our downtown apartments before we moved to the hill house, just outside Elmira, in 1975. [...] Seth came through again and again, as he’d often done in class, and Jane thoroughly enjoyed herself. [...]

Through it all each one of us felt a penetrating nostalgia for those vanished classes, for they’d been truly unique; I don’t think it would be possible to recapture their particular, innocent, lasting sense of excitement and exploration. [...]

For now class should be continued. [...]

Nor need he feel a responsibility to allow people to come to class from afar—but that might, generally speaking, represent his contact with others psychically. [...]

Hugh will serve in your place in classes, unless you attend. [...]

[...] The creative writing class has served its purpose, provided you keep up your social life. [...]

[...] He enjoyed last evening’s spontaneous session (for Jane’s Tuesday night ESP class), and such sessions, while they do not particularly add to our material, replenish his creative efforts and give him a sense of freedom. [...] You may have noticed that often when you miss a regular session, I have held a spontaneous one in class.

[...] Now this is simply a minor and temporary element, originally because he has begun his Thursday classes and is therefore further regulated.

(This week Jane also held a long session for her Tuesday night ESP class.)

The classes (ESP) will be of immediate benefit, and will represent a strong bridge toward an effective and satisfactory meeting of psychic and physical dimensions. [...]

[...] He should expect to make his financial contribution through his classes, and to throw his energy into them, and be patient as he would if he had an outside job.

ESP CLASS SESSION, JULY 20, 1971
TUESDAY

The self that sits in class is not the self that wonders in a dream state, and the self that wonders in a dream state is, my dear friends, far more educated than the, self that sits in the classroom. [...]

PART ONE OF SETH’S LECTURE TO
PAT’S BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL CLASS MARCH 25, 1967

[...] Jane started her ESP class in September 1967. We met Sue in September 1968; she began attending class a month later, and did so more or less regularly until the end of class in February 1975. [...]

(Last night in ESP class, Jane tried to contact a newly dead friend of some class members. [...]

[...] Now this too-much-too-soon attitude was reflected last evening in his class. [...]

[...] She had delivered a long and intense one Monday night, and in Tuesday’s ESP class she’d “been in and out of trance all night,” as she described it. [...]

(Interestingly enough, we’re already beginning to hear about such frictions developing, especially from members of ESP class as they work with the ideas in this book. [...]

The material, the Seth material, will now serve as a cohesive binder in Ruburt’s classes. [...] It will be published, but Ruburt will also work with it in the psychological workshop of the classes.

During class, with the lights on, Rose Cafford suddenly said that she saw my aura. [...]

ESP CLASS SESSION, APRIL [1?], 1969
(SPECIFIC DATE UNKNOWN)

[...] (I’ll add here that Jane calls her class an ESP class for the obvious reason that the term has become so well known that most people understand something of its implied meaning.)

[...] She was taking calls from readers in all parts of the country, trying to keep up with the mail, participating in an occasional radio interview, and, for most of that time, conducting her classes. [...]

(Seth withdrew and there was a class break.)

ESP CLASS SESSION, OCTOBER 22, 1968
TUESDAY

[...] He’s a member of Jane’s ESP class, lives in New York City, and was in Elmira a day early to conduct some personal business.

(Earlier this evening, Will had commented that Seth seldom addressed him by name in class sessions.)

[...] When we saw him in class the next evening, he had no special dream activity to report.)

[...] As an example, Appendix 21 contains the remarks he made in ESP class last November 26, 1974, concerning the “hidden variables” that can be associated with a recognized birthdate. [...]
