(We waited over 20 minutes for the session to start. Several times Jane remarked: “The delay seems real odd….” But Seth continued with his material on the behavior of our species, even while bringing Psyche to a close.)

[... 10 paragraphs ...]

No one from any psychological threshold, however vast, can write a book that defines the psyche, but only present hints and clues, words and symbols. The words and ideas in this book all stand for other inner realities — that is, they are like piano keys striking other chords; chords that, hopefully, will be activated within the psyche of each reader.

Each of you is couched now in the natural world, and that world is couched in a reality from which nature emerges. The psyche’s roots are secure, nourishing it like a tree from the ground of being. The source of the psyche’s strength is within each individual, the invisible fabric of the person’s existence.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

You cannot find your psyche by thinking of it as a separate thing, like a fine jewel in an eternal closet. You can only experience its strength and vitality by exploring the subjective reality that is your own, for it will lead you unerringly to that greater source of being that transcends both space and time.

(“Will it?” I tried to egg Seth on a bit. The session hadn’t been underway long before I’d realized he was bringing Psyche to a close. Even Jane’s voice, speaking for him, had been somehow indicative of a summing-up.)

[... 12 paragraphs ...]

(Volume I of “Unknown” Reality came out in the fall of 1977 — and by then Seth was well into his latest, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, even though this book, Psyche, hadn’t yet been typed for publication. I was still working on the notes for Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.

(Jane’s writing on William James also developed into a book: The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher. So during Seth’s dictation of this present manuscript, she produced on her own the Cézanne and James books. Surely all of the creativity cited in this note is the “proof of the pudding,” then — evidence of the psyche’s richness and abilities. Jane displays those attributes in her own way, of course, yet their equivalents are inherent in each of us, waiting to be used.)
