An association could trigger the clear memory of a past agony in the bewildered new mind. [...]

It goes without saying that all of this was fueled by past symbols and associations that then emerged. [...]

[...] In the sleeping state you may have constant experience through the years with close associates who may live in another portion of the world entirely, and be strangers to you in the waking state.

[...] Jane has used the hole/grave nomenclature several times in the past to refer to deaths; it is a regular association of hers.

(The Jungle Gym reference is another example of one of Jane’s favorite associations, since she was much attached to playground jungle gyms as a child. [...]

[...] All well and good to announce that one was a serf some 900 years ago—but one is much more likely to be either tuning into minute signals surrounding the actual physical and mental reality of the serf (poor fellow), or to be picking up on elements of that individual’s personality as they’re associated with the serf’s whole self or entity. [...]

[...] Whether or not reincarnation has been proven objectively, the belief structures surrounding that concept, or even the idea of it, have served very well as a forum within which certain present-life challenges have been worked out, through the therapists’ use of hypnosis, allegory, association, symbolism, and other very respectable methods.

[...] Our independence relative to reincarnation may represent just conscious cussedness on our parts, but we believe that each of us (meaning anyone, that is) always has the freedom to accept or reject any such choice or causality —whatever we choose to do. No, instead we think of our current challenges as contributing to the knowledge of our whole selves in most specific ways, rather than our being swayed that much by our reincarnational and/or counterpart associations.

It may not seem that there is any connection between that situation and your beliefs involving color, and yet the two are intimately associated.

[...] (Pause.) Earthquakes are very often associated with periods of great social change or unrest, and from such locations the fault lines originate and are projected outward. [...]

[...] It [did so] because many of the behavior patterns associated, now, with schizophrenia, are “distorted and debased” remnants of behavior patterns that are part and parcel of man’s heritage, and that harken back to activities and abilities that at one time had precise social meaning, and served definite purposes.

[...] It is a circular, associative, “naturally ordering process,” in which spontaneity automatically exists in the overall order that will best fulfill the potentials of consciousness.

[...] The order within the probable system is based upon something that could be compared to subjective associations or intuitive flashes of insight — experiences that can combine ingredients that could appear to the ego as disconnected. [...]

The probable system does not achieve its order through subjective association, but the term is the nearest I can use to approximate the basic causes for this order. [...]

[...] This particular chain of association was not anticipated by me when I picked the Crowley envelope as object for tonight. [...]

The studio connection was legitimate, but Ruburt associated it with you primarily when two studios were involved. [...]

[...] Jane said she is subjectively sure this is a personal association of hers, leading to the ad on the full page 12 for thermal blankets, just above the object to the right. [...]

(Jane speculated that the mention of Christmas, just below this article on page 11, in connection with a Christmas job at Macy’s, might have given rise to the associative child data.

(Long pause at 9:44.) It is probably almost impossible for man to see that he forms the idea of historical context through his own associations and focuses. [...]
