Show Notes
Session 11 from The Early Sessions, Book 1 of the Seth Material, recorded on the evening of Wednesday, January 1, 1964, was unscheduled and marked a significant departure from previous experiments, as it was the first to be conducted entirely without the Ouija board. The participants were Jane Roberts (the channel for Seth), her husband Robert Butts (the scribe and narrator of the session), and their friend, Bill Macdonnel.
The session was initiated reluctantly by the narrator, who preferred to continue accumulating a written record via the Ouija board. However, the group proceeded with what was termed an "amateur seance," leading to a series of remarkable and unexpected physical phenomena meticulously orchestrated and narrated by the entity Seth.
The session ended shortly after the mirror demonstration. Jane was left tired from the experience. Bill Macdonnel was more impressed with the tangible hand phenomena than the mirror demonstration, in which he saw fewer details than Jane and Rob.
The narrator and Jane agreed on the accuracy of the account but made no definitive claims, acknowledging the possibility of alternative explanations such as group hypnosis. They concluded the session notes by stating their reluctance to immediately attempt another seance, citing time limitations, a fear of failure, and a desire to first learn more about such phenomena from Seth himself.
