Seth Gives a Night Off: A Look at Session 91
Welcome, consciousness explorers! Today, we're diving into a delightfully short and funny session from The Early Sessions Book 3 of the Seth Material. Recorded on September 23, 1964, Session 91 shows us a side of Seth that's magnanimous, a bit cheeky, and completely in charge of the schedule.
The Setup: An Art Opening and a Wish
The evening began with Jane and Rob having just hung four of Rob's large oil paintings at their landlord's newly redecorated supper club. With the club's grand opening happening that night, Jane made an "impromptu remark that she wanted Seth to call off the session" so they could attend. Little did she know, her wish was about to be granted, but on Seth's terms.
A Magnanimous Gesture (With a Wink)
The session started with Seth immediately announcing his intentions in a voice "a little deeper and heavier than usual." He declared he would hold a very brief session, not because Jane asked, but for two very Seth-like reasons: "...to let you know that I do, if only occasionally, give you some time off. And also simply to break up your schedule for the sake of diversity."
This humorous opening, which earned a "quite satisfied smile" from Jane-as-Seth, sets the tone for the entire seven-minute encounter. He's not just a cosmic teacher; he's a personality with a sense of humor, playfully demonstrating that even interdimensional communication can benefit from a little spontaneity.
Key Updates and Congratulations
Despite its brevity, the session was packed with important updates:
The Punchline and A Promise
After giving them leave to enjoy their "splendid autumn evening," Seth couldn't resist one last playful jab before signing off. He promised that the upcoming autumn meetings "shall be meaty ones, and I hope that you digest them."
His closing line was aimed directly at a surprised Jane, who was experiencing the short session from her dissociated state: "My most fond good evening. I am amused because Ruburt is so surprised. Didn’t you know, Ruburt, that I could be so magnanimous?"
Even after getting exactly what she wished for, Jane reported feeling "pulled up short" by the abrupt end—a perfect, funny illustration of human contradiction.
