[...] Where is who? [...]

[...] Thereupon, with Sumari’s help, class got up and walked around in a circle, all of us chanting along with the Sumari, who indicated to several of us to do certain motions. [...]

[...] For those of you who need it said, I say it: A woman is as intellectual as a man. [...]

[...] And all of you who look upon me as a sign of great logical thinking (humorously), and therefore male-oriented, in your terms, then listen:

(“Who is the other woman beside Ruburt?”)

[...] Miss Callahan, who gave Jane the parent begonia which led to the making of the envelope object, is inordinately fond of blue. [...]

[...] The third question sought to find out who the other woman was beside Jane. [...]

[...] My heartiest wishes to you both, and to Ruburt, who thinks an eagle is a moose.

[...] Jim also wanted to tell us about two of his friends who had been running some telepathy tests with personnel at the parapsychology lab at Duke University. [...]

[...] There are others who will come. [...]

[...] You find it easy to blame others for not having the knowledge that you have thus far obtained, when you forget that I had much to do with choosing who would receive the knowledge. [...]

[...] A light trance state, self induced, can yield excellent results in a subject who is trained along these lines. [...]

[...] A man who is sure of himself is not angry at every slight done him, nor does he carry grudges. A man who fears for his own worth, however, is furious under such conditions. [...]

[...] You will feel aggressive, happy, despairing, or determined according to events that happen to you, your beliefs about yourself in relation to them, and your ideas of who and what you are. [...]

[...] Many who say they believe in the power of thought are so afraid of it that they inhibit it in themselves, avoiding any that appear negative or harmful. [...]

In the third dream you face a painless execution which is to be carried out by your father, who will give you the needle. You see Ruburt, who is on a swing, and you are concerned and sad. [...]

[...] She was fully grown, dressed as though in the summertime; someone else was on the swing with her, but I do not know who. [...]

It was, say, in 1943 even then merely a portion of space perceived by all who saw it in their own light. It did not exist devoid or apart from those who viewed it.

[...] Even those who are familiar with our material, and know the various means by which individuals create a fairly cohesive body of physical data and call it the physical universe, even these persons will say that while they agree that the individual creates the physical universe with the cooperation of others, that universe has a unity and permanence and recognizable form that the dream world does not have.

You know that many, but not all by any means, dream symbols approximately mean the same thing, but only approximately, and only for a particular group of human beings who experienced reality on the physical plane for a comparatively short period. [...]

For one thing, and I will go into this deeper shortly, those who now know existence on the physical level more or less because of certain cycles lived before on the physical level at about the same historical periods. [...]

[...] The dream means something to the individual who originates it, selects its elements most carefully, but in order for him to use it he must create it.

(A close friend, one who used to attend Jane’s ESP class, had called our unlisted number to ask one of us some psychic questions. [...] After I hung up we wondered why our friend, who knows our usual routine so well, hadn’t realized that we’d probably be having a session at this time on a Monday evening.

[...] You are surrounded everywhere by other kinds of consciousness whose validity you have largely ignored, whose psychic brotherhood you have dismissed—kinds of consciousness in the animal kingdom particularly, that deal with a different kind of knowing, but who share with you the reality of keen emotional experience, and who are innately aware of biological and psychic values, but in ways that have escaped your prejudiced examination.

The dramas themselves do express certain inner realities, and they serve as surface reminders to those who do not trust direct experience with the inner self. [...]

Perception of the exterior universe then changed, however, and it seemed to be alien and apart from the individual who perceived it.

[...] Jane was very intent in her delivery.) The story of the fall, the rebellious angels, and the leader Satan who becomes the devil — all of this refers to the same phenomena on a different level. Satan represents — in the terms of the story — the part of All That Is, or God, who stepped outside of Himself, so to speak, and became earthbound with His creatures, offering them the free will and choice that “previously” had not been available.

They may find it easy to cluck their tongues at obvious fanatics who cry out for God’s vengeance, and speak about the world’s end in brimstone and ashes. [...]

[...] Such beliefs are often given to children, appearing in such forms as, “don’t be a showoff,” “don’t be an exhibitionist,” followed by, again, the dire warning that your fellow creatures suspect any neighbor who is different or who shows any superior abilities.

[...] This line of belief continues as follows: If your talent is extremely unique or original, it may be safer to deny it entirely, or to adopt some disability or handicap that will quell the jealousy or envy of others who might otherwise hunt you down.

[...] The people who read will read, television or not. There are millions, however, who are not readers, and through television they do indeed enlarge upon their viewpoints.

[...] Wars are basically examples of mass suicide — embarked upon, however, with all of the battle’s paraphernalia, carried out through mass suggestion, and through the nation’s greatest resources, by men who are convinced that the universe is unsafe, that the self cannot be trusted, and that strangers are always hostile.
