(“Would you spell Frank’s again?” I didn’t think Seth had spelled it correctly —not the way he’d pronounced it.)

(Then spelled, but incompletely:) M-M-A-J-A is the current expression of Frank’s entity name. and D-A-J-O-R-A-K-A is his wife’s.

(“Spell out S.A.’s first name.”)

[...] Jane thought that in the previous session she had quite often received the answer to my questions mentally, before the board had a chance to spell them out. [...]

(Spelled out.

(By this time, Jane was usually getting the answers to the questions mentally, before the board had time to spell them out. [...]

(This answer was both indicated on board and spelled out.

[...] It spelled out messages supposedly coming from a Frank Withers (not the real name) who had lived in Elmira and died during the 1940’s.

[...] The pointer spelled out the answers.

Rob asked the questions, then we paused while he wrote out the answers the pointer spelled. [...]

This was the first time the pointer spelled complete sentences. [...]

There was a major distortion having to do with B-A-E-L (spelled). [...] There was a city in a jungle — M-E-S-S-I-N-I (spelled) as nearly as I can translate it. [...]

(Seth-Jane spelled the god’s name Bael. Most sources spell it Baal, possibly pronounced as Bael. [...]

Now: Write down R-A-M-A (spelled). [...]

[...] I’ll say here that the new effect involved the gradual loss of my ability first to spell, and then to write….

(By 9:12 I began to spell an occasional word incorrectly. [...]

[...] I now made a determined effort to spell correctly and write clearly. [...]

[...] The difficulty I had been experiencing with my spelling abruptly returned to an even greater degree. [...]

She is concerned because she receives my messages before they are spelled out. [...]

[...] M I N N I U S (spelled), did I give the name?

The Sumarians (spelled) left the memory of their existence in the Sumerian culture (spelled. [...]

[...] I managed to hold the state while considering the kitchen interference, but was concerned lest any attempt at movement on my part would break the spell entirely.

The Sumarians—your Sumerians (spelled)—did this when they initiated the culture spoken about in your books. [...]

[...] I had trouble in some instances deciding in the copy which spelling to use—Sumerian or Sumarian; in some instances my quick decisions were in error, I came to believe as I typed up this copy, so as can be seen I made changes. [...]

(After this message, Jane clearly heard within the following, although the board did not spell it out:)

(“Well then, do we have the spelling correct on Ruburt?”)

(“Now the spelling is different.”)

(“Wait—can you help me with that spelling? [...] Phonetically I spelled it out in my notes as den-i-ad. [...] Reading these notes over, Jane told me I had spelled the word incorrectly, that it should be dyniad. [...]

(We straightened out the spelling before I resumed typing these notes on Saturday evening, December 11.)

(And Jane, now I’ll tell you that as you had a crying spell last night—so have I at various times since you went into the hospital last April. [...] The spell must have lasted for at least half an hour; it went on and on. [...]

[...] I thought her spell might fit in with Seth’s recent material that her blue periods would gradually vent themselves away. [...]

The old man changed probabilities, you see, moving into another, and your thought patterns deal with probabilities all the time, at one level, as your c-e-l-l-s (spelled) do at another—so perhaps that will help you see more clearly the connections between health and illness, and the directions that your thoughts take.
