[...] She thinks Seth is trying to make clear things that almost cannot be put into words, however; that while she sits waiting he assembles words for her to speak. [...]

(Long pause.) In an industrialized society, people were trained to fit into assembly line productions. [...]

[...] Once John had assembled his pheropter, or lens unit, the test lenses making up the new prescription, my vision checked out at 20/15—better than the so-called normal 20/20. [...]

[...] This is because many of the beliefs that you have individually and jointly are somewhat relieved in the evening, in that they so often apply to the day’s activities, when the rest of the world seems to be engaged in the nine-to-five assembly-line world experience.

[...] [Your] world did not just come together, mindless atoms forming here and there, elements coalescing from brainless gases—nor was the world, again, created by some distant objectified God who created it part by part as in some cosmic assembly line. [...]

1. I don’t mean to imply that it was particularly easy to assemble these notes. [...]

“Such a cultural time works well overall for the civilization that concentrates upon partialities, bits and pieces, assembly lines, promptness of appointments, and so forth.

[...] When the projects were done, particularly with Ruburt, there was still the cultural belief that time should be so used (underlined), that creativity must be directed and disciplined to fall into the proper assembly-line time slots.

[...] We’re told that a radioactive and potentially explosive bubble of hydrogen gas, which has been preventing cooling water from reaching the upper portions of the control rods within the reactor’s fuel assembly, is now being very slowly and carefully vented into the atmosphere; this is a first step in the bubble’s planned dissolution. [...]

[...] But a collection of lines, with the same or similar thoughts behind them, assembles itself into a recognizable whole.

[...] It brings to the surface of awareness whole gestalts of previously unconscious material, then assembles and organizes it in ever-changing form. [...]

(Assembling all of these elements into a psychological whole, he declared that “the sessions, among other things, were generated by your own experiences as creatures, and your desires to look for personal answers — but more basically, to seek out the answers [asked for] by all of your race.” [...]

[...] The artist would have to assemble mountains of rocks, an infinity, that is infinity of molecules, all equally impossible. [...]

[...] Following our analogy, the technicians, the actors, the writers all assemble — only in this case the result will be a live event rather than a televised one. [...]

If there is no life after life,
then what cosmic spendthrift formed
the universe,
for Chance alone can’t be
that prolific, or fake an order in which
an accident of such proportions
as the creation of a world
seems so inevitable,
each random element

only to be squandered,
falling apart, dissolving into nothingness
