(November 25, Wednesday, 7:30 PM: I saw my painted trees again, and again with good duration. [...]

[...] And since I tarried with you longer than usual at our last session, our meeting this evening will not be of the usual duration.

If you will remember what I have said about the way in which the universe expands, that has nothing to do with space, then you may perhaps perceive, though dimly, the existence of a psychic pyramid of interrelated, everexpanding consciousness that creates simultaneously and instantaneously universes and individuals that are given, through the gifts of personal perspectives, duration, intelligence, psychic comprehension, and eternal validity.

(November 2, Monday, 11:30 AM: Feeling of vibration, body and bed, maybe three minutes duration. [...]

[...] This had good duration. [...]

[...] The first concerned condensed time; that is, in what may be a split second to the entity, the incarnated personality will experience a time duration of say, 70 years. [...]

[...] She hadn’t changed her position in her rocker for the duration of the delivery, and she’d experienced the usual cone effect. [...]

[...] The mechanisms by which psychic energy or consciousness forms matter should also be included, and naturally the concept that matter does not have duration.

Within their happening there may be a distorted — to it — grotesque duration in which action may be seemingly impossible. [...]

(Also, quite definite and with some duration, I had the feeling that my hands were once again crossed upon my waist, when in actuality they lay at my sides as usual. [...]

[...] You will indeed see clearly that matter is created simultaneously, and has no duration, but is completely and almost instantly replaced by other matter, and that identity and continuity are not characteristics of matter, but must be found in other places.

[...] Very quick duration. [...]

If the dream world, the mind, and the inner universe do exist, but not in space, and if they do not exist basically in time, though they may be glimpsed through time, then your question will be: In what medium or in what manner do they exist, and without time, how can they be said to exist in duration?

[...] The spacious present, while existing spontaneously, while happening simultaneously, still contains within it qualities of duration.

[...] These make duration within the spacious present not only possible but necessary….

[...] She did not see either one of them; and like me, while the experience had some duration, Jane could not retain the gist of their conversation.)

[...] In our earliest sessions I emphasized that the intensity regulated the duration of an experience. [...]

[...] Since I can no longer work for hours at a time on the Seth books, or with the Seth material, I’m training myself to “put out” copy in concentrated bursts of energy that are usually of an hour’s duration, say. [...]
