Session 390: The Blanche Price Transmission

Welcome to a look back at a rather spooky and experimental evening in the history of the Seth Material. We are diving into Session 390 of The Early Sessions Book 8, recorded on the evening of January 8, 1968.

Tonight’s vibe is a little different. Usually, Jane Roberts is the mouthpiece for Seth, but on this chilly Monday night, she decided to try something a bit more "classic medium" style. She wasn't looking for universal wisdom; she was looking for an old friend.

The Spooky Lowdown: What Went Down

The atmosphere was peak 1960s mystery: dim lights, a living room table by the windows, and Jane trying to dial a different number on the cosmic telephone. Here’s the gist of what happened during this chillingly cool experiment:

• The Sideline Play: Jane and Rob (her husband) decided to ask Seth to play bodyguard rather than lead singer. They wanted Seth’s assistance to contact a "survival personality"—specifically Blanche Price, who had passed away the previous February—without Seth actually taking over the microphone.
• The Protective Bodyguard: While Jane went into a trance, Rob stayed on the "line" with Seth, talking to him steadily to provide a protective framework. It turns out having a multidimensional teacher as your spiritual bouncer makes for a much smoother ride.
• The "Dead Hand" Incident: As the trance deepened, things got a bit weird. Jane’s left hand started acting like it had a mind of its own, slapping her right hand. She later described the sensation as feeling like a "dead hand." It seems Blanche had to momentarily "re-experience" her illness to bridge the gap into our reality.
• The Data Dump: Despite the "unpleasant" vibes of the death-experience filter, Blanche managed to get some specific names and dates through. We're talking baptism, rosaries, and specific names like "De Beauvoir" and "Thomas Simmons."
• A Different Kind of High: Jane noted that this trance felt totally different from her usual Seth sessions. It was less like a lecture and more like an emotional deep-sea dive into someone else’s memories.

The Receipts: Key Quotes from the Session

To illustrate the intensity of the contact, here are a few choice words from the record of the night:

• "Jane’s left hand... felt subjectively 'like a dead hand.' As though it were necessary almost for Blanche to go through the experience of being ill once again in order to make contact."
• "This is Blanche... France... De Beauvoir... Thomas Simmons... And Charles. Summer... 1962... Anne’s aunt at a party... a baptism... a rosary..."
• "The session, Jane said, verged often on the unpleasant, as if Blanche had to go through her own last memories first in order to make contact."

The Wrap-Up

This session proves that even when you're dealing with the afterlife, it helps to have a good support system. Rob’s steady voice and Seth’s background presence turned a potentially scary "dead hand" moment into a successful experiment in mediumship.
