In sleep, you do inhabit other planes, as I have told you. [...]

[...] Joseph will find himself more likely to remember simple projections that do not involve any featured levitation. [...]

[...] Your projections do involve you in extensive levitations from the dream state, but you recall only a few. [...]

[...] Projections of a kind do also occur while the normal waking consciousness is up and about its normal chores. [...]

[...] You do not want to be bothered. [...] If you handle a call, he thinks you are doing him a favor. [...]

[...] He wanted to protect himself against self-delusion, of going too fast too soon, until he had enough knowledge to know what he was doing. [...]

[...] In his case, however, much of this had to do with quite normal reactions—not voiced or expressed. [...]

[...] To do this he felt he needed to exert caution, to emphasize his own doubts in order to make a bridge to those intellectuals who doubted, and yet maintain some freedom and spontaneity in order to reach those at the other end.

[...] He does not do this at meals, but the small snacks that he would ordinarily want, he does not take. [...] This is important, for to him running is a happy, spontaneous activity, and he has blocked the impulse at times rather consciously because he feared he could not do it, that it would hurt or that he would look silly.

At our next session I will do your tape for you. [...]

[...] Reading this will remind him of that; but again here, when he is about to open something, or to grasp it, I want him to try to feel the impulse to do so, and then go along with it.

[...] He will do well with his book. [...]

[...] The food preparation centers should always be separate, and you do have room for those facilities in one place. [...] You do not understand pollution or growth well enough yet, but food simply should not be allowed in this room. [...]

[...] You do not have to include it in your official notes unless you so desire.

[...] A tree is a living symbol to you Joseph, but I certainly do not insist that the tree be left uncovered though personally I see no reason why any other changes have to be made in the kitchen, except for the addition of the refrigerator. [...]

Do you have any questions, Joseph?

[...] They do not perceive your physical objects, for their reality is composed of a different camouflage structure. You do not perceive them, and generally speaking they do not perceive you. This is a general statement, however, for various points of your realities can and do coincide, so to speak.

[...] They will seem to be stronger during certain times than other times, though these differences have nothing to do with either the nature of the coordinate points or with the nature of time. [...]

[...] Do you have questions?

We are doing very well with our Chapter Five. [...]

3. When your thoughts do touch upon your particular problem in that present moment, imagine the best possible solution to the dilemma. Do not wonder how or why or when the ideal solution will come, but see it in your mind’s eye as accomplished. [...]

[...] So what was it doing, behaving in such a fashion? Was Joe Bumbalo giving birth to a new life form that upon death would be released to continue its growth elsewhere, just as we believe Joe will do after his death?)

[...] Also, one not only has to penetrate the reality of the person being read, but that of the medium doing the reading. [...]

[...] “Maybe your doing so well today is an outcome of the session for yesterday,” I said. [...]

“You do not see your ego in the mirror. You do not see your subconscious. You do not see the inner self in a mirror. [...] You do not suddenly acquire a ‘spirit’ at death. [...]

[...] I do not particularly enjoy such a designation, since it is not true. But if you do call me a subconscious extension of Ruburt’s own personality, then you must agree that the subconscious is telepathic and clairvoyant, since I have shown telepathic and clairvoyant abilities. [...] … However, unless you are willing to assign to the subconscious those abilities—and most of your colleagues do not—then I cannot be considered to have such a subconscious origin.

“Now, in dreams you do have contact with other parts of yourself. This communication goes on constantly, but your ego is so focused upon physical reality and survival within it that you do not hear the inner voice. [...]

[...] My student wanted to do one of her required papers on the nature of personality as explained by Seth. [...]

[...] I want to do them both—it isn’t that I prefer one over the other. I received the answer that I felt guilty over the conflict: when I wanted to do one, I thought I should be working on the other.”)

[...] You do not want anyone else to have a hand in your own work—that is in your paintings. [...]

[...] Do not exaggerate, however, so that the ideal seems to be a perfection that cannot be attained given the conditions. [...]

[...] Do not think in terms of perfection and nonperfection, but of bringing your ideas to life, and of using photographs to express those ideas.

[...] When an idea comes to you, do not play with it intellectually, but reach out to it intuitively. Do not be afraid of unfamiliar physical sensations. [...]

[...] Concepts have what we will call electrical and chemical composition [as thoughts do]. [...]

[...] Do you follow me?

[...] Although now I’m not so sure I do....)

[...] If you can, playfully, playfully together, imagine you and Ruburt chasing each other up and down the stairs, or dancing beautifully, or whatever comes into your mind, as long as it is not serious, and you do not expect instant results.

[...] Now they do have much more than an imaginative reality, and they do possess consciousness, but a fragmentary consciousness, that can however further develop.

(I had no conscious memories of being interested in medicine while in my teens, but then neither do I recall dreams from that period. [...] I enjoyed doing these very much, and remember being surprised at the time at the aptitude I seemed to show for such work. [...]

The physician, you see, existed in some dimension, and continues to do so. [...]

[...] The projections of which I spoke do happen occasionally and spontaneously on both of your parts. [...]

(In our defenses here, I’ll digress a bit to note that although we may do that on occasion, Jane and I certainly do not blame others anything like we used to, or the way we still see others do. [...] Even when we do catch ourselves indulging, one might say, always in the backs of our minds lies the knowledge that, really, each of us creates our own reality, and are therefore participators in whatever events we may find ourselves enmeshed in—even those we dislike. [...]

(Pause at 9:39.) Briefly: Again, help reassure Ruburt that his body does (underlined) know what it is doing. [...] The legs and entire lower portions of the body have been in a constantly changing state of late (for weeks), as the legs and knees do begin to gain more motion. [...]

[...] You are doing what is right for you. [...]

This does not mean that you do not know the reasons. [...]

[...] You bring it out, and if you did not do so a very vital part of him would remain unexpressed. [...] Do you have questions?

He literally thought too much of you to do the other.

[...] He must learn to express fearful or negative thought, as they occur, so that they do not build up this charge again. [...]

Now, you are doing well and progressing. [...]

Your actions take place with such seeming smoothness that you do not realize the order involved. [...] An emotional eruption will do the same thing on another level, altering the local area primarily but also sending out its ripples into the mass psychological environment. [...]

[...] When you grow from a baby to an adult you do not just grow tall: You grow all about yourself, adding weight and thickness as well. To some extent events “grow” in the same fashion, and from the inside out, as you do. [...]

[...] These have nothing to do with your ideas of cause and effect at all. [...]

[...] As a language that you know is, again, dependent upon other languages, and implied pauses and silences, so the dream that you experience and recall is also one statement of the psyche, coming into prominence; but it is also dependent upon other events that you do not recall, and that your consciousness, as it now operates, must automatically translate into its own terms.

With the dream book he tried to do something he did not consider artistic, and was unable to do it. [...]

[...] He felt that you wanted one but that you were refusing to do what you could do—move to a rented place, and that did excite him.

[...] I do not want to duplicate material, but Ruburt’s seeing you working without symptoms was of great benefit. [...] Your reaction is to yell about the condition, yet you do not move. [...]

[...] The idea was that physical restraints would keep her at her desk and remove temptations to do other things. [...]

[...] I had been doing some painting when once again I seemed to see my brother Loren, as a monk in a previous life, wearing his old red robe, fall face down with outstretched arms upon the same dusty red road upon which I had seen him before. This was a very brief vision, and the first that had popped to mind consciously while I was doing something else.)

[...] That is, within limits I can change my form, but in doing so I do not actually change my form so much as I choose to become part of something else.

(“Do you get storms where you are?”)

[...] As the smiling and the sorrowful face also express and expand the personality, so too do the various reincarnated personalities express and expand the entity as a whole.

[...] Again, this does not mean that secondary conditions such as aging and gravity and clock time, do not have effects within your system, obviously. It is only that these must be recognized as secondary conditions that do not therefore basically (underlined) affect the inner self, which is to a large degree independent of your system.

My remark in our last session, concerning the aid that Ruburt subconsciously gave me in connection with the voice effect, did not have to do with the inner voice heard by Philip. [...]

[...] Therefore, being actions, they affect all other actions, and if I repeat this in session after session, I do so, so that it will never be forgotten. [...]

[...] And the action, or actions involved in this belief will therefore act upon the physical cells of his body with vengeful force, because he has himself directed them to do so.

[...] Sue, of course, wanted to do George a favor, to make up for old issues. There were other probabilities according to George’s situation, so that the affair at least opened up the idea that George could do other work for Prentice if he needed money. [...]

[...] I’m back working on the chronology for Seth’s latest book, Dreams, and have been doing some paintings involving my own dreams. [...]

[...] Intent, purpose, or desire do not apply in that picture.

(Pause.) In your terms this means that you do not have to rely upon what you think of as your private resources alone. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The schools of “positive thinking” try to remedy the situation, but often do more harm than good because they attempt to force beliefs upon you that you would like to hold, but do not in your present state of confusion.

[...] It will seem to you that you feel aggressive or upset without reason, or that your feelings sweep down upon you without cause if you do not learn to listen to the beliefs within your own conscious mind, for they generate their own emotions.

[...] What do you think of yourself, your daily life, your body, your relationship with others? [...]

[...] Do not shove them underneath, ignore them or try to substitute what you think of as good thoughts.

I certainly do appreciate, and indeed do enjoy, your lively discussions. And I do indeed recall Ruburt’s rather daring, but more nearly stupid, blunderings into his first deep trance.

[...] Energy and the consciousness within continually constructs itself into completely new constructions; because of the various speeds I have spoken of, and because you do not perceive the full reality, you do not notice the simultaneous constructions, and think them continuous, rather than separate and ever new.

I have not known either of your guests before, but then I do not have to. [...]

He worked on tablets of stone, and was given social position because of this ability, though he did not come from well-to-do parents.
