(Before the session we discussed various recent events and predictions we wanted to cover. They won’t be listed here, but in the session as they arise. [...]

Now apropos (Nandor) Fodor’s book (the title will be given at the end of this session), yes, Jane, there is a Seth (emphatic delivery, leaning forward, eyes open), and I was not born a psychic infant from your own personality. [...]

(See the 443rd session.) Rather naturally he placed emotional connotations, or superimposed these upon the experience. [...]

[...] It was because of the conceptual experience in our session that Ruburt emerged in practical terms. [...]

[...] Jane began reading yesterday’s session, which I think is an excellent one, but she didn’t do well at all. [...] I kept thinking about the session, listening to Jane try to read it as I looked over mail. Finally at 3:29 I read the rest of the session to her.

[...] I also felt that the idea of authority was somehow connected with my shaky right hand, and since this aspect of the dream wasn’t discussed today, I’d like Seth to comment on it tomorrow if he has a session. I seem to remember from old pendulum sessions, that my mother is involved with the shaky hand, although she wasn’t in this dream. [...]

[...] I wanted a word from Seth on what our reactions should, or could, be, in light of yesterday’s session about living in the moment.

Yesterday’s session should be read two or three times a week for now.

(“Well, I’ll certainly have a session tonight,” Jane said at 7:50. [...] This morning and afternoon I’d typed the session Jane gave last night. [...]

[...] “Boy, I want a session from Seth so bad,” Jane said at 8:11. [...]

[...] Reading my sessions on the subject will help—but you must above all realize that we are speaking here of truth itself, and if you do that then you will begin to see remarkable beneficial events in your lives as all levels (more intently). [...]

I will help you with sessions, going into pertinent material, but I also know that you need these statements of confident knowing to set you firmly in your most productive path at this time. [...]

(The immediately preceding pages contain the session for Jane’s ESP class of Tuesday, August 20, 1968. This is a very good session, dealing with probabilities, personal consciousness of many kinds, electrical realities, etc. Some of the data on body consciousness has not been presented in just this way by Seth during regular sessions.

(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.)

[...] Now you may take a break or end the session as you prefer.

(This proved to be the end of the session however, at 10:24. [...]

[...] In desperation you both began to question inner attitudes, and you then broke the ice with a pendulum session. (See the 350th Session.)

(This session is deleted from the record.

(Sunday afternoon, November 5, I devoted to a long pendulum session, concerning my attitudes as related to Jane’s symptoms; it was most beneficial and rewarding, and we were anxious to have Seth’s comments on it this evening.

(Complete notes made during the pendulum session are on file. [...]

(It will be remembered that in the 33rd session, page 262 [in Volume One}, Seth suggested the date, April 15, 1964, as a significant one for Miss Callahan. By coincidence, this session fell on April 15, so naturally I was curious to learn more. Jane’s thought at the time of the 33rd session was that April 15th meant possibly a change for Miss Callahan, instead of her death necessarily.

(She went on to say that as good as she wants the sessions to be, she has learned that she must overcome any feeling of responsibility for them; to do otherwise invariably makes her tense and hampers the flow of material. Again, Seth had something to say about distortions in the 36th session, in Volume One.

[...] This slower rhythm has been so prevalent in recent sessions that it appears to be becoming the rule. [...]

I am pleased that you are so pleased with our last session. [...]

(I planned no envelope test for this session, thinking that the test material on the Gallaghers in Puerto Rico, and on Dr. Instream, would be enough for one session. I was more interested at the moment in having Seth finish his analysis of Jane’s two dreams, which he began last session, and made it a point to say so just before the session tonight.

[...] He was too busy to witness Monday’s session, but promised to visit us on Tuesday evening, October 19. [...]

[...] See Session 196 in Volume 4 for the Gallagher material.

(Jane keeps separate records of such experiments, and has this one written up in the same manner as the Gallagher experiment that is included in the 196th session.

(The following material is from the 704th session.

[...] Jane wasn’t at her best tonight, I could see, but wanted to have the session.

[...] I was rather upset at the way my notes were running so long in some of the book sessions, and wanted Seth’s comment. [...]

SESSION 704 (DELETED PORTION)

(As noted in the earlier part of the session not included here I had the sudden feeling as I sat in the car waiting for Jane. We were going to the tax office this evening before the session, and I had gone ahead to get the car out of the garage, etc.)

(Deleted from the 572nd session for March 8, 1971.

SESSION 572 (DELETED PORTION)

[...] See the deleted session for June 1. Then on August 12, Bill, Loren and families visited us. That time I reacted much more strongly, and Seth came through with an excellent session about it all. [...]

(The following material is from the 878th session. [...]

End of session. [...]

End of session. [...]

[...] She’d been interrupted right after the start of the session by a nurse bringing her vitamin C. Recording the session, I’d been quite amazed that a certain frightened portion of Jane’s self could exert such power over the rest of her mental and physical personality. [...]

[...] But she did very well reading a couple of sessions. [...]

[...] I might add that I had my “eye thing” throughout the session — those bright, jagged patterns moving across my field of vision. [...]

[...] Tell Ruburt I will begin book dictation again at our next session, including the material on “better and better pills.”

[...] She tried to read yesterday’s session, but couldn’t at all. [...]

[...] Jane tried again to read the session, but couldn’t. At 3:10 I started to read it to her when Mary Jean came in to check the flow of the antibiotic. [...]

[...] I read yesterday’s session to Jane, and started mail.

[...] “Well, that’s it, then,” I said, and went back to the mail until Jane said she was ready for a session.)

(Deleted from the 528th session for May 13, 1970.)

Now I will end our session unless you have questions.

[...] This reminded her of the recent session when she momentarily seemed to be speaking as Seth from near the same bookcase.

(I should add in these notes that the day after Seth first directed energy to my penis in a recent session, I noticed a definite improvement. [...]

3. In Note 2 for Session 688, I quoted Seth briefly on the meaning he attached to the word “camouflage” (in 1970). Jane’s use of it here in her own material was rather unusual, however, and took us way back to the first time we heard it from Seth, in the 16th session for January 15, 1964.

(FOR SESSION 698)

[...] I’ve barely mentioned them in recent notes — just for sessions 696 and 698 — but Seth has had a good deal to say about them in current personal material.] Many of the dreams have been quite long and involved. [...]

[...] This intersection of Seth-Jane in trance also happens in dreams, when book sessions occur there. [...]

[...] These sessions now are helpful. There is no reason, however, why in the future you cannot freely take a month off from sessions in order to quicken your work on “Unknown”. [...] As far as impulses are concerned, most likely Ruburt could have three or four excellent sessions a week at certain periods in your lives, and there would be periods of vacation also. [...]

Use this session to compose some new pendulum questions also. [...] The last session should be read again, for it can reawaken both of your psychic abilities to a greater degree. End of session.

Now: another personal session.

The reasons behind such behavior are given in the sessions on work. [...]

(Jane had a call from Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall today, during which we obtained some confirmation on points made by Seth in a recent session. There was also a strange similarity between some of the data given in the seance, by Jane, in the 435th session.

[...] Sessions on the creative dilemmas and the sessions dealing with relative non-being will help you here.

I am going to give you a brief session this evening. [...] I had better end the session. [...]

(The seance-session, the 435th, was held on Wednesday, September 11, 1968. [...]

(After supper this evening Jane told me she thought Seth might talk about dreams and the subconscious at the session. In the event that Seth might do this, and also discuss our dreams, as he has mentioned doing by way of illustrating the material, I read to Jane just before the session began two very vivid dreams that I have had within the last two weeks, involving my father and other members of my family. [...]

[...] She said that for some reason she was aware that when the session began she would be “far-out” right away. She had not told me before the session began, but now admitted that she had been very tired by 9 PM, after painting all day. [...]

[...] She said she had indeed painted too long today; but although she was tired before the session began, she feels fine now. She said she could feel Seth close by now, but that he would end the session soon. [...]

(Jane was not nervous before the session. [...]

Your inner feelings toward each other have been projected onto your feelings toward the sessions, and psychic work also, then. [...] You did not understand that this was because you had not carried through the personal pattern into the session pattern.

(This session, ordinarily the 563rd for December 2, 1970, is deleted from the record.)

[...] You are at that point trying to shove beneath awareness certain feelings of yours, mentioned in our last session. [...]

Because of this role, adopted rather early on both of your parts in your married life, and because of his dim, distorted and hidden perception of it, he was vastly astonished at your permissive attitude when our sessions began.

(Jane’s sessions have been very irregular also, and she hasn’t worked on Seth’s latest book for some months now. [...] In each Seth book there have been layoffs, so to speak—long or longish periods in between certain sessions, while, usually, we held personal sessions in the interim; these were usually devoted to trying to get at the root causes of Jane’s symptoms. [...] It did make for some tricky work writing notes for Mass Events, say, to explain these long periods in between certain sessions in the book.

(I told her the session was excellent, as I’d known it would be. [...] All through the session she’d sat stiffly upright in her chair; hardly relaxed. [...] I told Jane I’d do the dishes—and read the session to her from my notes tomorrow morning after breakfast. [...]

(This session may mark the beginning of the most important group of sessions Seth has given so far. [...]

(As soon as I reread her paper the evening before last, I was reminded of the two excerpts I’d copied from recent deleted sessions—those for January 26 and 28, 1981. [...] This present session represents, then, our latest attempt to come to terms with all of our personal, public, and creative aspects involved with the Seth material—not just those we’d chosen to deal with in past years.

(The following material is from the 889th session. [...]

[...] You bring into action, physically speaking, those greater powers of your being, and trust certain chores to be taken care of at that vast unconscious level, instead of, as mentioned this evening (in the session proper) working at a trial-and-error basis,
