[...] If parents believe that the body is somehow an inferior vehicle for the spirit, or if they simply view the body as unreliable or weak and vulnerable, then children will at an early age begin to consider good health as a rarity, and learn to take depression, poor spirits, and bodily aches and pains to be a natural, normal condition of life.

I have the impression of 3 6, perhaps an age or part of an address, and something that only partially appears, that is half visible. [...]

[...] 3 6 is Jane’s age, but we discount this also.

(Dr. and Emma Martin are old friends of my parents, and their age—early seventies, or nearly so. [...]

[...] My parents have told me often that I displayed hay fever symptoms by the age of 3 or so, so evidently the first cod liver oil episode was earlier than this, and before my conscious memory. [...]

An episode at the age of fifteen served to reinforce the difficulty.

[...] Jane herself is 37 years old, and Barbara’s boyfriend Dick is either that age also or very close to it. [...]

[...] He considered that he aged as a tree will age, but perversely he felt that others aged to spite him.

[...] (Joseph Burdo died in 1948 at the age of 68. [...]

[...] From early age however Jane drank in his feeling of completeness with nature, and it had much to do with her later development. [...]

His father’s death reminded him that he was suddenly quite alone except then for his mother, and also brought up the question of age.

[...] Age is involved, in that you knew Ruburt would go so far and no further, and so did he.

[...] He feels you both can be more lenient now since the possibilities have dropped some: because of his age he is less likely to become pregnant, than when he was, say, 30.

[...] The lady told Peg and Bill a good deal about the workings of Dr. Rhine’s department; and how, now that he is past 70, the mandatory college retirement age, arrangements have been made for him to continue his work in parapsychology through a foundation which is apparently connected to or with the college.

[...] the change began in the Middle Ages, existed briefly, died, then began again...

[...] These ideas have been distorted through the ages... [...]

[...] Do not be afraid of old age, you who are so young, for you have been old many times before. [...]

[...] Unfortunately taking advantage instead of the fortunes made available to those in ruling classes throughout the ages. [...]

[...] Today Tam Mossman confirmed that Eve does ride to work at Prentice-Hall with a woman fitting Seth’s description, including the age given; he said eve would ride with him on the specified days in order to alter the probabilities.

[...] (Long pause.) Ruburt is coming out of his dark ages. [...]

Now these two (Sue and Daniel’s)—I’m getting to them at a fairly young age in this life. [...]

You must remember when I speak to you and see you, that I do not see you at the ages that you are. [...]

[...] As this happens, your understanding will allow you to glimpse the nature of the reality of the gods you have recognized through the ages. [...]

A high percentage of priests of the Middle Ages, for example, had illegitimate children. [...]

Before we begin, let it be understood that your problems are no more upsetting, disagreeable, or exhausting than other people’s. Many do not even reach your ages. [...]

Both of you realized from young ages that you were different from others, relatively speaking, and you gloried in the differences. [...]

[...] Debbie had pointed out a photograph of it in a local real estate catalog, and we were quite aware that it bore a good resemblance to the house we’d considered buying in Sayre, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1974.³ Besides being bungalows, both houses were of about the same age, and even of similar colors.

[...] A man of letters, for instance, at the age of 40 suddenly remembers his old love of carpentry, reads do-it-yourself manuals, and begins his own home repairs. [...]

[...] On the other hand she may entertain no such ideas, but be murdered at the age of 17.

And in a note for that session I wrote: “Years ago, when Jane and I began living in Sayre, Pennsylvania, not long after our marriage in 1954, I began telling myself that before I reached the age of 40 I’d know whether I wanted to concentrate upon writing or painting — but that if I’d failed to do so before that date, I would then decide upon one or the other of those creative arts. [...]

[...] I didn’t grow up with the consuming urge toward fine art that she developed about writing at an early age. [...]

(Further, my urge toward doing my best work comes at an age when I feel that I should be doing my best work. [...]

[...] There were other elements that you have forgotten; a young man who was your younger brother, seen at the age of 12. [...]

[...] He wanted out from an early age, and yet there were karmic influences that were not finished, between the two of them.

Most individuals after death choose a more mature image that usually corresponds to the peak physical abilities, regardless of the age when the physical peak was reached.

[...] By the period you call old age the inner attention is already escaping. [...]

During that period you refer to as old age, once again emotionally and psychologically the individual is less bound by physical time. [...]

4. A note added some eight months later: Once in a great while Seth refers to the slower rate of physical aging connected with the out-of-body state, and notes the “certain principles” involved, as he does here. [...]

A note: Just as he periodically reminds us of his material-to-come on physical aging and out-of-body states (see Note 4, above), Seth mentions that there are more inner senses he’ll tell us about someday — then adds that many of them are so far removed from reality as we understand it that our comprehension will be intellectual at best; in such cases we won’t be able to identify with them emotionally.
