[...] End of session. [...]

(The session ended at 11:59 P.M. — and once again, Jane was full of energy.

(Jane has decided that she’ll let my ordinary session notes — brief as they are — suffice for Psyche, and that she’ll add few, if any, of her own. [...]

(Long pause.) Also, again, to tell him that regardless of the session’s words, new nuances and motions are carried by the session itself.

[...] The session Seth had referred to was that for last Saturday, August 11, when he’d first mentioned that Jane would be able again to sit on her back porch. [...]

(The following material is from the 753rd session.

[...] I want a Wednesday night session, if you do not mind—

—though we will be quite satisfied generally with one session a week while you are busy on the book. [...]

SESSION 753 (DELETED PORTION)

(This is the regularly scheduled session for January 19, 1972. [...]

[...] The session began at 9:43. [...]

[...] This will be a short session, and I will have a few personal remarks to make. [...]

DELETED SESSION

(Deleted from the 557th Session, October 28, 1970, Wednesday.

[...] They were meant, in some instances, to protect your artistic self, if you recall our last session. [...]

Read that over and ask me whatever questions you want to at our next session, or if you have questions now I will answer them.

SESSION 557 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 838th session. [...]

SESSION 838 (DELETED PORTION)

(Before the session Jane showed me the paper she’d written this afternoon, on the direction she felt that Seth would be taking in Mass Reality. I planned to attach it to this evening’s session, but did not since this is private material. It may be added to the next, possibly the 844th, session.)

(Amused:) I often break off book dictation also at certain times to help relieve Ruburt of feelings of responsibility, when he thinks that he should have book sessions because of the responsible work involved. [...]

[...] (See my question in session 842.) It was fiction, and yet they were aware of Ruburt’s psychic reputation. [...]

[...] Have Ruburt read this session well. [...]

[...] This afternoon she did type on the first session for the book, though, and said she felt much better. [...]

(As we waited for the session to begin we got involved in a near-heated discussion of the question of inspiration. [...]

[...] He is quite unaware, consciously, of doing any work for these sessions. [...]

[...] The fact that these sessions are predictable says much, however, for the longstanding nature of such unpredictable events.

[...] Actually, the session had lasted 1 hour 12 minutes—slightly longer than her average time of 1 hour 7 minutes for the last five sessions. [...]

(At first Jane and I thought of calling this session a deleted one—but its subject matter fits into Dreams too well for us to do that.

[...] By session time I was caught. [...]

End of session.

By then, of course, Rob and I felt a strong commitment to the sessions. Now we feel that we have a twice-weekly appointment with the universe, and certainly this attitude developed during those projection sessions when we tried during the day to follow the instructions given by Seth. Sessions were held in the bedroom then. [...] So even space-wise, there seems to be a connection between those earlier sessions and the present ones in which Seth is dictating his own book.

Seth’s series of sessions on projection continued through 1966, 1967 and 1968. In 1966, portions of the sessions were also given over to the clairvoyant experiments, and much of Rob’s time was taken over in writing up the results. By late 1967, Seth was also devoting some sessions to helping strangers who had written us, as mentioned in The Seth Material.

[...] This was the framework in which most of these sessions took place.

SESSION 840 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] [They began to approach those described in the 639th session in Chapter Ten, and the 653rd session in Chapter Thirteen, to name but two such instances mentioned in this book.] Finally she called me at 3:30 p.m. as I was painting in my studio, and read Silver Brothers to me. [...]

[...] (See the 620th session in Chapter Four.) Only when particular procedures are assigned to it, and when it is set aside from normal life, does hypnotic suggestion seem so esoteric. [...]

[...] (See the 644th session in Chapter Eleven.) From the present you have hypnotized yourself, viewing the past not as it was to your experience, but as it appears now in the light of your current beliefs.

1. See the 639th session in Chapter Ten for material on the life and death of our cat, Rooney. [...]

(Seth session, spontaneous, during class. [...]

[...] Some of you objected when I said (in the only other session held for this class) that you were meant to come here. [...]

[...] Now my friend Ruburt may take a break or end the session as he prefers. [...]

[...] Session began at 10 PM. [...]

[...] Today, for example, her stomach muscles haven’t bothered her at all, as they had so much last Monday, as described in the session then.... Jane said that she thought tonight’s session would be a short one.)

Now: another Doctor Seth session.

Your pendulum work, your determination, and the sessions have aroused Ruburt’s determination to act physically, rather than to retreat, and your suggestions concerning safety are important. [...]

(With a wry, quiet look:) I would like Ruburt to soak his knees following the session, and Ruburt wanted me to add that he is most appreciative of your efforts in his behalf. [...]

[...] While I worked with mail, Jane began reading yesterday’s session. [...]

(Long pause at 4:20.) In review, it seems that the most vital ideas for his current situation have been given in this session, where they can be referred to easily. [...]

(Jane did do a few minor motions after the session, and before I turned her—wriggling her toes. [...]

[...] I’d say that Seth’s session today, Sweetheart, shows that we’re on the right track. [...]

(Before the session tonight I discussed two questions with Jane that I hoped Seth would consider. [...] The session was held in my studio once again.

(Wednesday’s session, the 579th, was held for a husband and wife who have an acute problem involving one of their children. [...]

[...] The balance of the session was taken up with personal material. [...]

SESSION 580, APRIL 12, 1971,
9:13 P.M. MONDAY

(We sat for the session at 9:10, and as the minutes passed Jane grew more and more impatient. We had no idea what the session might be about, since we’d posed no questions for Seth. [...]

(We’ve been having but one session a week while I’ve been typing the finished manuscript for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality. [...]

Unless you have questions, that is the end of the session.

DELETED SESSION

[...] At the time of the session, we didn’t know what probable selves were, though Seth had used the term once or twice in the past. [...]

[...] In this session, the 487th, Seth told Rob that in another system of reality, Rob has a probable self who is a doctor who paints as a hobby. [...]

After the session, when Rob told me what Seth had been saying, we just sat looking at each other for a few minutes. [...]

[...] In the meantime we had another session, and Rob had quite a few questions ready to ask Seth. [...]

[...] Jane said she’d have a session later, then changed her mind as I got ready to do mail. [...]

[...] Read the session back to him. [...]

[...] “That’s probably why I had the session,” Jane said. [...]

[...] After the session I massaged all of Jane’s limbs — and once again achieved excellent results. [...]

(We sat for the session at 8:10. [...] [The left foot has lost some of its original swelling, and now appears much better by contrast.] I told Jane I thought Seth was correct in the deleted session for June 24, 1981, in which he said the swelling effect helps cushion the new motion of some joints, so there is no grating. [...]

(The regularly scheduled session for last Monday was not held. [...]

(An interesting debate emerged between us as we waited for the session to begin. [...]

The short paper he wrote today, and my last session, should help here, for we are speaking of the transformation of the Sinful Self, sympathetically, as it is seen as a psychological structure of growth and change—a stage through which the self traveled—one that is no longer necessary and can now instead turn to a new state of innocence.
