(All of which is not to say that Jane and I haven’t encountered math in some form(s) in our daily lives, probably at times without being conscious of this. We have read about relativity, for instance, in popular paperbacks, and some other paperback books on a variety of subjects that might have included various kind or examples of mathematical formulas, etc. In other words, our contacts with math have been about average, we estimate.
(Since Jane looked at Roger’s list just before the usual session time we thought Seth might consider the questions. Seth did not come through however during the evening. Jane said she could not make any conscious attempt to answer the questions, since she couldn’t read the formulas. She had said a little previously that she felt “up” today, or full of energy, light and active.
The formula or equation found and forgotten several times.
You force stability upon them, but you cannot predict their action (puzzled again), when you cross them (pause), in the nature of a pi. The first formula is overloaded to the right. The negative values about it will supersede and gobble the integrity of 3; unload the 7. Greek (Jane paused and sat with her head cocked as though listening), and the theorems of (“I’m having trouble with the name.”) Minopeles (my phonetic interpretation), a minor mathematician.
[...] Pat enclosed with her letter a list of three questions from a friend, Roger, dealing with mathematical formulae and requesting also that Seth give his mother’s maiden name. [...] Jane read the four questions over—the formulae were meaningless to her—before the session, but we doubted if Seth would have time to deal with Pat’s letter and the questions in one session.
[...] By choice, even in trance she attempts to relay specialized information in ordinary verbal terms, without the use of formulas, equations, or highly technical language. [...] We’ve never tried to get her — or Seth — to deliver mathematical or chemical formulas during a session; it’s not her thing. [...]
