[...] It did not even, except superficially, represent a dangerous lapse or relapse on your part, into those truly dangerous and quite disastrous negative battles of thoughts, which eventually in any individual can and often do lead the integrated self into annihilation.

[...] But there must be a place within you where these do not exist, or the freedom of the inner self will be hampered, as far as its connection with the ego is concerned. [...]

[...] The experience, the subjective experience, of the last session, on Ruburt’s part, was meant as a practical demonstration of the limitless self. [...]

[...] We will have much more to say concerning the limitless self, in connection with action.

For this is a noninterval to the inner self. [...] One portion of you leaves the inner self to explore in depth a particular noninterval. To the inner self no time passes. [...]

[...] The inner self however retains all memory. [...]

Ruburt is finally learning to trust the nature of his being—the self that is. [...]

The doctor, the figure, represented your artistic intuitional creative self, your potential self in those terms, to whom you looked for advice and help. [...]

The dream also shows that you are achieving good contact with your creative self, and that you were able to utilize the help available. [...]

[...] They also serve as a framework to the recognized self. In periods of stress or challenge the recognized self may sense these other strains of consciousness, and realize that a fuller experience is possible, a greater psychological thickness. On some occasions in the dream state the recognized self may then enlarge its perception enough to take advantage of these other portions of its own identity. [...]

Left alone, the self and the body are so entwined that the separation would be smooth. The body would automatically follow the wishes of the inner self. In the case of suicide, for example, the self is to some extent acting out of context with the body, which still has its own will to live.

[...] The self outgrows the flesh. [...]

[...] A self is not simply the accidental personification of the body’s biological mechanism. [...]

(11:44.) I am not speaking here of the desire for suicide, which involves a definite killing of the body by self-deliberate means — often of a violent nature. [...]

Dictation: Let us go on to discuss the relationship between the inner self, your conscious beliefs, and your most intimate physical creation — your human image.

First of all, the unconscious is not a sponge, indiscriminately accepting material regardless of the considerations of your conscious self. All beliefs or suggestions are first sifted through your conscious mind, and only those that you accept are then permitted their penetration into the other areas of the self.

[...] You still need to find the self that you are. [...]

To our friend over here, we have you still enjoying class and coming here most faithfully and with great determination we have you resisting looking into the inner self—and skimming along the edges of realization—delight ourselves with the outskirts of psychic experience [sic]. [...]

[...] It is the conscientious self, incidentally, who attaches the idea of good and bad to emotions. I suggest that in a joint pendulum session you address Ruburt’s conscientious self with this in mind.

[...] What most artists do not realize is that the self is the first creation. [...] Because of Ruburt’s energy and creativity, he has always perfectly mirrored and even somewhat exaggerated the condition of the inner self, its activities and inner postures.

Rob then said it was an experiment in self-hypnosis for my next book. [...]

[...] When I saw who was at the door I had visions of long complicated explanations, but the self-hypnosis explanation appeared to satisfy them. [...]

[...] He is challenging, finally, the old beliefs that say that the self’s spontaneity is not to be trusted. [...]

You must take that into consideration, but the constant concentration upon the symptoms, and disapproval of self because of them, must cease. [...]

[...] In a fashion the form also represented the innocent and powerful inner self, or spontaneous self, or naturally magical self—the terms are synonymous.

The animals possess a consciousness of self, and without the human intellect. [...] It is self-evident.

(9:27.) You are taught to submerge the very intuitive abilities that the intellect needs to do its proper work — for the intellect must check with the feeling portions of the self for feedback, for support, for knowledge as to biological conditions. [...]

[...] In doing so you change the self, by choosing from past experience those elements to which you shall and shall not react. [...]

The overall self chose the background. [...]

[...] Being an artist and being successful were opposites for your inner self. [...]

The spontaneous self was never meant to appear as an alien to the conscious personality. The spontaneous self, of course, represents your closest private touch with the universe, with your origins, and with your relationship to All That Is. [...]

As that newspaper portion was a whole of the entire paper, and there to be read, so is the whole self present in the portions of your personality that you know. [...]

[...] One question: as I look at the painting, which of the two heads represents my whole self, for instance?”
