(After the last session, I told Jane that I was most intrigued by Seth’s assigning two headings to Chapter Ten, but the dilemma was hardly very complicated.)

[...] The heading that you asked about is for Part Two of the book (“Your Body as Your Own Unique Living Sculpture,” etc., given in the 637th session in Chapter Nine). [...]

[...] The nightmare itself can be like a shock treatment given by one portion of the self to another, in which cellular memory is touched off much as it might be in such an LSD session.

[...] In the drug experience mentioned before (in the last session), startling, enforced symbols and occurrences are suddenly thrust upon the conscious mind; and more, within a context in which time as it knows it has little meaning. [...]

(Therefore, beginning at the next paragraph, the rest of the session is a verbatim transcript from tape. The session is much longer than usual, since Seth didn’t have to go slow for my note-taking, but could plunge ahead. [...]

(Tam and Eve Mossman were witnesses to the session. [...]

(We began the session with my taking notes, as usual. [...]

[...] While doing this of course I lost some material from Seth, but Tam and I agreed that Seth recapitulated any lost data during the rest of the session.

[...] She said she didn’t know what kind of a session we would have, yet by 8:58 she reported that she could “feel him.” The session actually began at 9:02, and without the board.)

This session has been very peaceful and pleasant, and I repeat: Some night we will have our party. Now that you have a recorder you can use it when we have our happy session and it will free you from taking notes.

[...] These sessions of trying to give up smoking are a definite help and the habit will finally give way. [...]

[...] Throughout this session she talked in a voice slightly stronger than normal, and paced at a slow even rate. [...]

(Again, Jane was not nervous before the session began. She did not feel very energetic, and as happened in the 75th session, 9 PM came and passed. [...]

[...] We thought briefly of asking for a special session to deal with the rather surprising turn of events, but decided against it, not wanting to cultivate any such dependent habits. [...]

I will now begin the session.

If your hand is tired, I will give you a break, or end the session.

(This in turn led me to wonder if tonight’s session contradicted one held several years ago, in which Seth stated that I had lived to an old age in the Denmark life. [...] Seth goes into more detail on this in the 595th session, in the Appendix.

(No session was held for July 8th, as scheduled. [...]

[...] Then, shortly after supper, I had a visual experience like that described in the notes for the 534th session, in Chapter Eight. [...]

[...] Just before the session I asked my pendulum a few questions — keeping in mind that I wasn’t so sure this technique should be used to explore other than physically oriented data. [...]

(Yesterday I finished typing up the 841st session, so now I’m all caught up on the sessions that had piled up while Jane and I worked checking the page proofs for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality, Psyche, and similar matters. [...]

(“It’s liable to be a short session,” Jane said at 9:15,” I’m just doing it because I don’t want to miss a turn.” [...]

[...] She’s going to go over the recent sessions to see what portions of them fit into Mass Reality. [...]

DELETED SESSION

(Jane didn’t hold a session last Monday night. [...] The evening was also quite hot and humid — with the temperature over 80 degrees at session time — and this bothered her considerably. [...]

Now: Had Ruburt gone to a doctor or a faith healer when we began our last group of sessions, and then in a matter of a week or so found himself able again to walk with his [typing] table across the kitchen floor, some thirteen or fourteen steps perhaps, where before three were his uncomfortable limit, he might have attributed the improvement to a doctor’s treatment or to a faith healer’s ability — but he would have been impressed. [...]

Work with the sessions of late. [...]

[...] By 8:30, when she’d finished doing the dishes, the overall soreness had dissipated to some degree, but she appeared to be so groggy with relaxation that I hardly expected her to want to have a session. [...] At 8:40 she surprised me by calling out from the living room — I sat reading a magazine at the kitchen table — that she’d try to have a short session. [...]

(9:38 P.M. Jane agreed with my own surprise that she not only chose to hold the session, but discussed the Christ material. [...] But now she was just as much at ease as she had been before the session. [...]

SESSION 526, MAY 4, 1970,
10:00 P.M. MONDAY

(The session began late this evening because of my own distractions with painting; I worked late, and needed a short rest. [...]

Now: We will have a short session, and begin to dictate the next chapter.

I will then close our session. [...]

Now: The last two sessions, more or less on evolution, can be included in this book, and serve as the opening sessions of a new chapter, entitled: “The Universe and the Psyche.”

[...] After delivering a couple of pages on other matters, Seth closed out the session at 11:40 P.M.

(Once again Seth surprised us by indicating that the previous two sessions should be considered a part of Psyche — and once again we saw that he’d let our questions lead him precisely where he intended to go in any case! [...]

SESSION 798, MARCH 21, 1977
9:54 P.M. MONDAY

(The following material is from the 813th session.

[...] My copy of this part of the 813th session is attached to my Nebene material on file.

SESSION 813 (DELETED PORTION)

(The following material is from the 815th session.

(Heartily:) That is the end of the session unless you have questions.

SESSION 815 (DELETED PORTION)

(Then to read a session he gave about... [...] It’s important that I find and read those sessions.

(Late Friday afternoon—I begin to read Seth sessions for last summer and a line reminds me of what else I was getting from Seth last night and today.

(Tonight I didn’t know whether it was worthwhile having a session or not. Yet Jane reported more walking changes today; we thought they were good changes, so eventually we sat for the session. [...]

[...] I mention these details to show something of our situation re Seth’s last deleted session on “intruders” when we want privacy. [...]

A session was a good decision.

I will not keep you long—but you need this session.

(Tonight’s session started later than usual because of a mix-up in communications between us: I thought Jane was too groggy after supper as she sat at the card table in the living room, so I went to my room to work on the intro for Dreams—whereas she was waiting for me to come out and sit with her to see if we’d have some sort of session. [...] On Friday after she came home I’d said it was vital that we have sessions in order to try to find out just what events had triggered the whole event of her latest illness from the very beginning. [...]

[...] And Jane announced that she didn’t want to start taking the Persantine—that she feels she knows what caused the finger difficulty and wants to get information on it in sessions, either hers or Seth’s.

[...] “but it’s a therapeutic session....” [...]

[...] I think Rob and I should sit after dinner a little bit each night for a Seth session or for some other development such as this. [...]

(This is the regularly scheduled session for Monday, August 16, 1971. [...]

The mistrust of mobility, or fear that it could be taken away, was built up also, with other reasons given in the sessions, simply through the suggestion over the years of living with someone who was not mobile. [...]

This is indeed a potpourri of a session.

There will be far more organized sessions to come, and other books, but used correctly this information is most vital. [...]

[...] I thought she’d probably not have a session, but eventually she decided to after we had talked it over. [...] She also knew of my questions about counterparts that I’d come up with as a result of my work on The “Unknown” Reality: were Jane and I counterparts; and, to resolve a contradiction—in two different sessions in that book, were George Rhoads and I counterparts, or weren’t we? Jane was somewhat “out of it”, or better, by session time.)

The entire miniature system of dams has been dissolving since our last session. [...]

Take a break, or end the session as you prefer.

(Heartily:) End of session—and I hope I have been of some practical help also. [...]

There have been considerable changes even since our last session, and I hope you have noted them. [...]

Now take your break, or end the session as you prefer.

Noises outside the bedroom, of neighborhood activity, sometimes add to this, making him think he should be out in the world in a more gregarious, competitive manner, so he feels more isolated from other people and the community also at such times, as a result of the Darwinian concepts mentioned in our last session. [...]

[...] I will go into the other material at our next session, because I want to emphasize a few points here. [...]

(Jane has been employing to good effect Seth’s suggestion about using the red star, as he gave that idea in the last deleted session. [...] For myself, I wanted Seth’s comments on the Spanish Framework 2 connections that he detailed last session, re Ryerson, Macdonnel, our books being translated, and the card from Carlos Smith; I wondered what had initiated any Framework 2 connections for us via Spain, since we had no interests of note there.

[...] I give this information here because it crops up in the session tonight.

[...] These subjects also show up in the session.

[...] End of session, or take a break as you prefer. [...]

(This session is deleted from the record. [...]

[...] On occasion I will assist you, but I will assist you far more through our sessions. [...]

Now, do you have questions, or do you want me to end the session?

You may ask questions or end the session as you prefer.
