229 Seth Dissects the Wounded Buffalo Landlord

Session 229, February 2, 1966: The Snowed-In Psychic

While the driveway was buried under two feet of snow and the landlord was acting a bit "stubborn,", Seth decided to drop some heavy truths and psychic experiments. Grab a warm drink, relax, and let’s get into the vibes of this mid-winter session.

The Landlord Chronicles: Taxes, Desks, and "Wounded Buffalos"

The session kicked off with some spicy drama regarding the landlord, Jimmy Spaziani. While the tenants were busy arguing over snowplows, Seth was busy looking into Jimmy's private ledger.

• Tax Troubles: Seth revealed that Jimmy was facing serious heat from the IRS due to "certain falsifications" and "illegal tax methods." Specifically, the figure of $14,378 (plus interest) was noted as an initial amount due.
• The Hidden Stash: Seth pointed to secret papers hidden in a "place not often used," specifically "within or behind an old desk" likely on a concrete or stone floor in a basement.
• A "Wounded Buffalo": In one of the session's most vivid descriptions, Seth noted: "He is somewhat like a wounded buffalo, and to some extent at least the wound was not self-inflicted, although he himself has aggravated it."
• The Psychological Root: Jimmy’s "stinginess" wasn't just greed; it was an attempt to reclaim the "psychic warmth" of a childhood defined by poverty and picking coal along railroad tracks.
• Health and Family Predictions: Seth predicted legal difficulties by March 15 and a potential illness involving a blood clot in the right leg, likely occurring at a "party-type gathering." He also mentioned a death in the wife’s family by the following November.

The Lab Work: Matchsticks and Filing Cabinets

When they weren't dissecting Jimmy’s financial woes, Jane (referred to as Ruburt) and Robert (Joseph) were running psychic tests. Seth’s performance was a bit of a mixed bag this time around, mostly because Jane was "trying too hard."

• The Instream Object: Seth described a miniature framework made of "matchsticks," light in color, and formed of squares. He correctly intuited it was "taller than it is wide" and had a connection to water.
• The Envelope Test: This one was a bit "meh." Seth picked up on a "filing cabinet" (where the test paper was actually kept) and a "cloth connection."
• Performance Anxiety: Seth offered some humorous but insightful coaching for Jane, noting: "Because of his peculiar makeup the first, or first few tests after resumption are apt to be poor now, at this time, because he is apt to try too hard." He suggested a "vacation" from tests might be needed to avoid overthinking.

Seth’s Gold Star for Joseph

Before wrapping up the night, Seth gave Joseph (Robert) a metaphorical pat on the back for not losing his cool during the snow-shoveling drama.

• Emotional Growth: Seth noted that Joseph’s "most sensible reaction" to the landlord’s stubbornness actually improved the situation for everyone in the house.
• Inner Peace: In the past, this kind of drama would have disrupted Joseph’s inner life, but Seth observed a "tangible improvement" in his ability to stay objective.
