[...]

In another system of reality your father was — in fact, still is — a well-known inventor, who never married but used his mechanically creative abilities to the fullest while avoiding emotional commitment. [...]

[...] As an audience watches a sportsman perform, so those who read the comics watched your characters perform in action across the page. [...]

[...] For those who are interested, I drew a likeness of my father for one of my pen-and-ink illustrations in Jane’s Dialogues, and incorporated an image of my mother in another one. [...]

[...] It also stands for the separation of the self who perceives — and therefore judges and values — from the object which is perceived and evaluated. [...]

It portrays the new consciousness seeing itself unique and separate, evolving from the tree of life and therefore able to examine its fruits, to see itself for the first time as different from others, like the serpent who crawled upon the surface of the earth. [...]

[...] It is a good idea for such family members to join other groups of people who are in the same situation, so that they can express their own doubts and hesitations.

At mid-afternoon yesterday I lay down for a nap on the waterbed, so I could be close to Jane, who sat at the card table. [...] I woke up hearing her voice as she called out to someone who was evidently at the back screen door, which I’d locked as usual. [...]

[...] I am speaking through Fred Conyers, who flew all the way here from Denver just to see you and Jane. [...]

[...] The rest is plain white paper, from who knows where? [...]

[...] You can wonder about the nature of existence and about your own purpose but you cannot deny either, since you are alive and who wonders then about the nature of reality and your own purpose. Who is the self that wonders and where does it derive its meaning and its energy. [...]

[...] It would be impossible to ask which of the ten arrived first, except to say that all began with the original who decided to visit the ten locations. So it is with the Speakers, who in the same way do not originate in the locations or in the times in which they may appear.

[...] Both of you are being trained by other Speakers who are themselves between lives, this occurring in your dream states. [...]

(And of course, the above data gives rise to more questions: such as who is training us? [...]

Taking the Sumari as an example, there can be overly intent, ponderous, or simply dour Sumari who have not learned to use their creativity graciously, or with joy. [...]

[...] Just let me state here that we found ourselves confronting a well-educated individual who was deeply afraid of her own energy. [...]

[...] There were also conflicts of direction, as to who would “rule the roost”, and you resented his “taking over”, or what it seemed to you to be. [...]

[...] There is no one who can change your life for you. [...]

[...] There are also some conflicts of a quite natural type between you and your daughter Ruth, who also has strong organizational qualities and artistic abilities, as you have. [...]

[...] Only now it is you who will not hear. [...]

[...] Floyd is an extremely generous and caring individual who has helped us many times over the years; he’s the contractor who converted half of our double garage for the hill house into Jane’s writing room.² Jane and I have each shared a number of psychic experiences with him.

[...] We’d seen raccoons playing in the tree a few times, and Floyd, who lives on a farm, sees them often. [...]

[...] The same applies in any personality who attempts to separate the intellect and the emotions from their necessary unity within psychological structure. In either case, you end up with the need for negotiators, who attempt to bring the two sides into at least some alignment, or to correct the vision and perception of each side until the situation of the other side is at least perceived with some clarity. [...]

Many of the methods used to find solutions actually involve the setup of negotiations on the part of nations—the third party or parties—who in the beginning can communicate with each side, explaining one side’s viewpoint to the other. [...]

[...] When you think of a scientist, the majority of you will think of a male, an intellectual, an “objective” thinker who takes great pains not to be emotional, or to identify with the subject being examined or studied.

[...] It is you, then, who form the entire framework from which your judgment is made. [...]

There is a corresponding image, held always within the inner consciousness of those who pass out of your system. [...]

[...] A personality communicating with your system, who was once a part of it, can make use of this trace image. [...]

[...] According to Seth, each of us has counterparts in other systems of reality; not identical selves or twins, but other selves who are part of our entity, developing abilities in a different way than we are here.

These probable personalities are further removed from us than our reincarnational selves, more like distant relations who bear a family resemblance. [...]
