Put to my service during a session they would allow—the energies would allow—us to explain various principles with utmost clarity, and greatly improve our experimental data. [...]

[...] Seth here refers to our table tipping experiments of Friday, October 7. That evening’s fun led to the successful 73rd envelope experiment of October 10. [...]

Now I have given our friend Ruburt a boost. [...]

[...] As I told Jane after the session, I realized that Prentice-Hall’s treatment of our books reflects our own ambiguous attitudes-—we want her books to be well known, but don’t want to get involved in the process personally—but, perversely, that doesn’t stop me from getting mad at Prentice-Hall, even if they are doing what we want them to.

Between each ticking of the clock
Long centuries pass
In universes hidden from our own.

2. Jane’s mention of reincarnation came from my idle speculations at our evening meal, after we’d been told about how a local man and woman had embarked upon a radically new joint life-style, to the consternation of many in our area. [...]

Now: For our psychology lesson (with gentle amusement), continued from before.

Now, I had a question over here from our friend The Rogue. [...]

([Sue:] “Uh, do you mean that in our terms you were there?”)

I will let our friend Ruburt take care of that for you on Friday. [...]

[...] Willy, our cat, jumped up into her lap. [...]

(Louder, smiling:) And that is the end of our passionate session, and you may delete the word.

(A note added later: For some related material about the flexibility of Jane’s perceptions, see our extensive notes for the 653rd session in Chapter Thirteen, as well as those for the already mentioned 639th session.)

[...] None of our sessions, or his own natural development would ever bother him. [...]

Something loaned to or by our friends. [...]

[...] Our interpretation may be a good one, but Barbara pointed out a better one. [...]
