[...] People who are strangers to you consciously feel better because you exist. [...]

[...] Your relationship is used as a model by others, people who have found in their adulthood no way as yet to relate to their mate in a meaningful manner—(humorously:) regardless of how many times they do it a month.

When they do emerge, those impulses, he is the one who, after having conquered the earlier fears, finally, hesitantly trying to test his courage, suggests such an endeavor. [...]

At this party affair, mentioned before session, there are two men who will give you fine ideas for portraits. [...]

[...] (Pause.) It is the fear that the unconscious, so-called, is chaotic, that causes psychologists to make such statements, and there (pause) is also something in the nature of those who practice psychology, a fascination, in many cases, already predisposed to fear the so-called unconscious in direct proportion to its attraction for them.

I did indeed, and the young man who took them.

(After finishing the library material, Jane called The Village Voice on impulse, but ended up feeling she didn’t do well: She didn’t get to speak to Jim Poett, who was not there, or to his editor. [...]

[...] Watching my wife over the years, I’d long ago come to feel that I was observing someone who was following a chosen course with incredible ability and determination. [...]

[...] However, those who ask concerning the time of the origin of consciousness within your universe, are those who do not understand that the most minute physical particle, the most microscopic, is a materialization of inner, aware energy.

To those who ask concerning the origin of that inward energy you may say that the inwardness came from itself. [...]

“At the same time, it’s Rob’s usual self, learning from the creature-magical self, who then ‘gets the evidence,’ enlarges the magical hole in the glass; signifying two things — that the so-called usual consciousness can learn from the magical part, follow its lead and therefore catch itself ‘performing miracles.’

“I’m not quite sure of the meaning of the older handsome Navy man who stands at attention — an authority figure … whose purpose is merely to stand guard and observe; perhaps a reassurance to Rob that the rational self is there, in its true position — but standing apart, observing the magical proceedings. [...]

[...] Since we occupy two apartments in order to have enough living and working space, we had room to take in a couple who had been flooded out. [...]

[...] Those who request help should be put on a list to make sure they know of the book.

1. For those who have forgotten: Chromosomes are microscopic bodies into which the protoplasmic substance of a cell nucleus separates during cell division. [...]

[...] Before a child was baptized it was considered to be the property of its parents, who could do with it as they wished, with no stigma attached.

(Surplus children, who would have been “an impossible burden” upon the economy of the times, its housing, food supply, etc., were simply killed before baptism. [...]

On the other hand there are those who stress the great value of the inner self, the emotional being, at the expense of the conscious mind. [...]

[...] People who have it are not spiritual.” [...]

(Finally, “Something missing, and someone who could not come,” is also interesting. [...] Only one member of the family was missing at the gathering Sunday, and this was my brother Loren’s daughter Linda, who was at work in Scranton, PA. [...]

[...] Loren and his wife have a daughter, Linda, who could not attend because she was away at school.

[...] Seth gave the sex of the child in answer to my question, thus eliminating Loren’s son Doug, who was 13 at the time. [...]

(Our landlord’s wife, Marian Spaziani, visited us this evening, and told us tales of the people who call her with long histories of their own illnesses, etc. [...]

[...] Of course Ruburt was out of his body when he saw Miss Callahan, who was in the same condition.

Now it is possible for someone within the physical body to perceive someone who is not, but it is not usual. [...]

[...] A possible distant connection: At the end of her second day of teaching Jane was given a ride home by a next-door neighbor who is also a teacher. [...]

Those who perceive this set of data in such a way that agreement is reached are called sane. [...]

A note and a sender who is not feeling well. [...]

[...] I am familiar with the change when I visit you, and Ruburt, who is not aware consciously of which word will follow another, did not know the intention behind the greeting. [...]
