Show Notes
Session 26 recorded on the evening of February 18, 1964, was unscheduled and notable for being the first conducted in the presence of an outside witness, John Bradley.
Session Context and Atmosphere
The session commenced unexpectedly at 10 PM. Jane Roberts (referred to by Seth as "Ruburt") and Robert Butts (referred to as "Joseph") were hosting a friend, John Bradley, when Jane began receiving "nudges" from Seth. Robert Butts initially attempted to postpone the session, which, according to Jane, made Seth "boiling mad." At Seth's insistence, the session proceeded with John Bradley as a witness.
Key Themes and Analysis
Seth's Impetus for the Session
The session opens with a direct and stern address from Seth to Joseph (Robert Butts) regarding his attempt to delay their communication. Seth establishes the importance and priority of their work, framing the postponement as impolite and unacceptable.
Seth reframes the presence of a guest not as an obstacle but as a welcome opportunity. He explicitly states his approval of a witness, not for his own validation, but for the benefit of Jane and Robert.
"For that matter I welcome a witness, and it is time that you had one—for your own edification, not mine, and it should do my nervous pigeon Ruburt some good."
The Nature of Consciousness and Evolution
The central philosophical discourse of the session addresses a question on evolution previously posed by John Bradley. Seth dismantles the conventional, human-centric view of evolution and consciousness.
Inner Reality vs. Physical "Camouflage"
Seth connects the discussion of evolution to his previous teachings on the inner senses. He argues that the physical world is a "camouflage" reality, and the outer senses are merely perceivers of this camouflage.
Revelations for the Witness: John "Philip" Bradley
A significant portion of the session is dedicated to providing specific information to John Bradley, whose entity name Seth reveals is "Philip." This serves as a demonstration of Seth's abilities for the witness.
The Witness Account of John J. Bradley
John Bradley provided a handwritten, signed statement certifying his presence at the session. His account corroborates several key phenomena
- Vocal Changes: He observed that Jane spoke with a "deeper voice than usual" and had a "definite Boston accent on certain words."
- Telepathic Communication: His most significant testimony regards the telepathic nature of the communication. He stated that as Seth spoke, questions would form in his mind, and Seth would immediately answer them.
This statement provides direct, first-hand validation for Seth's claim during the session that such inner data can be corroborated.
