Many psychological intangibles, including dreams, have such an electric reality, and do exist as electric actions. [...]

[...] The physical barriers of skin, for example, the physical limitations of that structure, do not exist and are not recognized by thoughts or emotions. [...]

[...] Dimensions do indeed exist within this electrical field of which I have spoken, and it should be understood that I speak of an independent electrical field, and not of the weak, apparent electrical effects that can be observed within the brain or nervous system. [...]

[...] As our readership grew, as you heard from readers or from some members of the media or whatever, it seemed to Ruburt that what he did best—have sessions, write his books—was not enough, that he was expected to do far more. [...]

[...] He felt that he could hardly keep up with the spontaneous self: what was it about to do next? [...]
