[...] I would say that at this moment of suspended judgment, before the ego exerted its authority, I was perfectly willing to receive this data and to examine it.

The personality has endeavored to right old wrongs, and has succeeded to a great degree, but at the risk of sacrificing inner spontaneity, and even at the risk of losing the very authoritative aspects of his nature, so that there is still a tendency to follow rather than to lead; simply because in the period of the Inquisition he was in a place of authority, he led; and he led men into atrocities committed in the fine name of principle and religion. [...]

[...] In a personal session given for us in 1977, he said: “Some [people] do not want my authority questioned. [...]

The Sumari are rambunctious, in certain terms anti-authority, full of energy. [...]

[...] At the time when the man is reprimanded in another part of the country, people in your town will be questioned, perhaps you yourselves by the authorities. [...]

[...] I am of course connected to the envelope objects, having authored the note. [...]

[...] I ran through radioactive rain (in a dream that, oddly enough, proved precognitive!), wandered through lovely gardens, explored several unfamiliar houses, and spoke with a well-known author whom I’ve never met. [...]

[...] The volume’s learned author treats the idea as just an idea, however, and a pretty far-out one at that — while here Jane demonstrated her version of the same principle in a practical way. [...]

They may misinterpret its nature, project it outside of themselves, turn it into a hobby, a chore, a religion, an art, a rigorous set of laws—but reading my books, they recognize the authority of the inner psyche. [...]

[...] If our words could not convince him, or his own understanding grasp the truth, then you had the “truth” uttered with all of the medical profession’s authority. [...]
