In that respect the landscape has its center. Your own thoughts are like the outward spokes of a wheel. They are not at the center of yourself, but have traveled a long way from the center of yourself. You may therefore follow them backward. We have been dealing so with the diversity of the self that I want to assure you that within all this diversity the center can be found and recognized.

There will be a core within your own paintings, from which the whole composition springs, and it is here that you can find rapport with the center of your self. The center contains condensed knowledge, not only of seemingly past lives, but also of the future. Of this, in your work, you create a new dimension.

In either case when conditions are right, you should feel a sense of recognition, a sense of grasping a portion of the center of your own reality. This is not a nebulous experience, but vivid, powerful, and direct. You will know it at once. When you have achieved this oneness with your own center, then you automatically free additional energy and vitality into your life.

Now. A few more remarks concerning the center of the self, before I continue with a longer discussion.

Regardless of your circumstances, your condition in life, your training or your aptitudes, at your own threshold you stand at the center of all realities—for at your center all existences intersect. [...] Each portion of the universe carries the knowledge of all other parts, and each point of a reality is (underlined) that reality’s center. You are, then, centered in the universe.

You are remembering it and creating it at once, watching it grow from the attention of your own love and knowledge, and as you seem to stand at its center, so you stand at the center of all of your dreams, which then spin themselves seemingly outward.

[...] The answers, therefore, lie as close as your own back-door steps, for at the thresholds of your beings you automatically stand in the center of knowledge. [...]

Your physical universe began, again, then, from a dreaming center.

There are also training centers. [...] In these centers there are certain classes in which instruction is given for the benefit of those who chose to return to the physical environment.

After death you may find yourself in a training center. Now theoretically, this center could be in the middle of your present living room, in physical space, but the distance between you and the members of your family still living — sitting perhaps, thinking of you or reading a paper — would have nothing to do with space as you know it. [...]

[...] It goes without saying that the hospitals and training centers are not physical in your terms. [...]

(Long pause.) Each being experiences life as if it were at life’s center. [...] Each manifestation of consciousness comes into being feeling secure at life’s center — experiencing life through itself,¹ aware of life through its own nature. [...]

[...] Quite simply, these values have to do with increasing the quality of whatever life the being feels at its center. [...]

[...] They are focused consciousnesses, surely, each one feeling itself at life’s center. [...]

[...] It denies man the practical use of those very elements that he needs as a biological creature: the feeling that he is at life’s center, that he can act safely in his environment, that he can trust himself, and that his being and his actions have meaning.

[...] Joseph’s gumboils are infections directly connected with the proximity of the refrigerator to more personal cleansing centers, and these centers should certainly be divided.

[...] Had I realized that your food center was not in one place I would certainly have made this suggestion earlier. [...]

[...] The food preparation centers should always be separate, and you do have room for those facilities in one place. [...]

[...] There are ways of finding what I will call this center of yourself. [...] I will give you more reincarnational data on your own lives; as you travel to the center of yourself however you will feel (underlined) and know your own pasts as directly as the circumstances permit.

Now, with all you have been told about the nature of personality, and of the many of which you are a part, it would now be a help if you could find the center of your larger self.

[...] At any point in the exercise, for it can happen at any stage, you will suddenly feel the you of you, the center identity that runs through all the selves of which you have been part. [...]

[...] Fairly large in the center of a square or rectangular object.” [...] No matter which long edge was uppermost this places the large poinsettia leaf in the center of the card as far as the short edges are concerned. Even so the large leaf would be off center, either above or below, as far as the long edges are concerned. [...]

[...] Fairly large in the center of a square or rectangular object.

Also something in the center of the oval. [...]

(“Also something in the center of the oval.” [...]

[...] As you have a tendency to think that earth is the center of the universe, although you know this is not true, so you have a tendency to think that the ego is the center of the personality, and that other aspects of the personality exist for the use of the ego, that all else revolves about the ego. [...]

I realize that this is a decontamination center, closed to the public, very dangerous, and I become highly frightened. [...]

[...] The dreams were still so vivid, particularly the first episode, that I also drew a quick sketch of the building with the decontamination center in it. [...]

[...] One read: DECONTAMINATION CENTER; another, MAINTAIN TOP SPEED. [...]

[...] “I acted the whole damn pamphlet out — translated the information literally, into action — running through the radioactive rain, seeing the men in the decontamination center.”

[...] I am certain that Ruburt could so organize the center portion of the book so that stress could still be given to the personal story line.

[...] The color white background, and a paper item, folded like a card, the center being a rectangular shape.

[...] Dark and shadowy in the center, with suggestions of motion, and late afternoon.

[...] The consciousness was not at one time the center of the subconscious. However, the inner ego was always the center of the subconscious.

The center of consciousness, that is the center of outward consciousness, the outer ego, is finally chosen by the inner ego after certain portions of the inner self show greater tendencies for objectification; these portions of course grouped around one of the subconscious subpersonalities which then wins out to become the outer ego, the manipulator for and the spokesman for the whole self.

[...] Jane speculated about the Star of David being connected here with her place of employment, the Jewish Community Center.
