[...] The moment as you think of it, then, is the creative framework through which you, the nonphysical self, constantly form corporeal reality; and through that window into earthly existence you form both its future and its past.

[...] As far as you are concerned the present is your point of action, focus, and power, and from that point of volition you form both your future and past. [...]

[...] The experiences behind them bring you in contact with the deepest portions of your nonphysical reality, and it is the unconscious who translates these for you into recognizable images and forms.

[...] They are highly creative on an unconscious level, constantly forming psychic frameworks beneath normal consciousness that can be used both by themselves and others in dream and trance states. [...] They form images with which the dreamers can relate, images that can be used as bridges and then as gateways into kinds of consciousness more separated from your own.

(Pause.) This information is, then, often interpreted on return by other layers of the self such as the body consciousness and subconscious, where it is formed into dreams that will have meaning to these areas of the self and where general teaching, for example, may be translated into practical advice involving a particular matter.

[...] Many artists, poets, and musicians are Speakers, translating one world in terms of another, forming psychic structures that exist in both with great vitality — structures that may be perceived from more than one reality at once.

Biologically, you are quite capable of dealing with dreaming and waking reality both, and of forming a far more effective synthesis in that regard. All of your creative impulses arise from that hidden dimension — the very impulses that formed your greatest cities, your technology, and the physical cement that binds your culturally organized world.

[...] Your thoughts do form your reality. [...]

To some extent, however, you form physical events while you are dreaming. [...]

These are not sharp images, but he already begins to build up ideas of shape and form. [...] He is aware of light and shadow, of shape and form, though he must learn to distinguish those portions of the available field of reality that you accept as objects, from the available field that you do not accept as objects. [...]

[...] They are one form that emotional intensity takes. [...] As a magnet, you see, will attract with its filaments, so these units attract their own kind, and form patterns, which then appear to you as perception. [...]

The desire appears on this other level in the form of these electromagnetic units, which then cause a light sensitivity. [...]

[...] We form physical matter as effortlessly and unselfconsciously as we breathe. Telepathically, we are all aware of the mass ideas from which we form our overall conception of physical reality.

I don’t mean to imply that I feel myself entirely released from every worry and fear, only that I now know we do have the freedom to change ourselves and our environment, and that in a very basic manner, we ourselves form the environment to which we then react. I believe that we form our own reality—now, and after death.

[...] You form the seasons. [...]

[...] In reality you project your own energy out to form the physical world. [...]

[...] He saw your form number two as described earlier, in which you were also traveling, you see. (See the 262nd session.) The other was Ruburt’s dream form of you, created by himself in the dream state. When you appeared in form two he was conscious enough, you see, to recognize your arrival, and then to point out to you the dream image which he had already created. [...]

[...] You have both conversed quite naturally in forms number two. [...]

Later your experiences themselves, within a dream, will tip you off as to which form you are using, so that you will know what is possible under these particular conditions.

If you want to record any given experience in its clearest form, then you should train yourself to wake up immediately afterward. [...]

As I have told you, form is not a characteristic of matter. [...]

When energy in its performance brings about a complete change of form, as it does when a seed seems to grow into a blade of grass, what you have here is merely such a complete difference between the gradations which you are able to perceive, that finally you are forced to admit that the thing you take to be continuous matter has somehow or other become something entirely different.

You know that you cannot perceive with the outer senses the pulsations of energy as they form this chair; because you cannot perceive these pulsations, the chair appears durable, a part of your time and space, and continuous in time and space.

[...] There are perspectives of which you know relatively little, and they in turn are frameworks, forming physical constructions, actual physical constructions, which you do not perceive.

[...] The forbidden experiences will simply be unconsciously expressed, gather strength and vitality, and rise up to form a counter projection which will then form another, newer exterior religious drama.

Man tried to form a new realm, attain a different kind of focus and awareness. [...]

[...] It then puts these stimuli together, forming the liaison of similarity. [...]

I bid you a fond good evening; and (with smiling emphasis) we were in great form last evening.

[...] Nevertheless, over a period of time “artificial” chemicals taken with food into the body will form a new kind of nature, in your terms. [...] Yet such experiments represent a strong line of probability only in its “infancy,” in which man could sustain himself without draining the earth, live without killing animals, and literally form a new kind of physical structure connected to the earth, while not depleting its substance.

[...] Opening up your consciousness to previously denied messages would bring you in direct contact with other life-forms on your planet in a way that you have formerly denied yourselves. [...]

[...] Your system deals with physical manipulability, again, and the translation of creativity into physical form. [...]

You have put yourselves in a position where your consciousness must now become aware of the probable pasts and probable futures, in order to form for yourselves a sane, fulfilling, and creative present.

[...] In your world, therefore, as Prentice-Hall is related to your joint experience; that is, to your experience and Ruburt’s, you form that company. [...]

[...] In your world and experience, where your interests are paramount, and do rule, they form your reality.

You can imagine atoms and molecules forming objects with little difficulty. In the same way, however, portions of identified consciousness can also mix and merge, forming alliances.

[...] Myths and tales are formed in which those who love communicate, though one is dead while the other lives. [...]

Your own thoughts have a reality that you do not understand, and their own kind of form, or psychic content, and this content exists not as pure energy, but as energy with form and shape. [...] Whenever you come in contact with a particular idea form, and this will only happen in projections, then you will automatically perceive that form with bulk or mass.

[...] We form a new dimension in our sessions. [...]

[...] You are seeing—or perceiving, rather—separately, the various components that are usually organized to form the solid object.

With the full use of the inner senses, however, it is theoretically possible to perceive all the shapes and forms that have ever been, or will ever be, adopted by the atoms and molecules that compose the particular chair. [...]

[...] The man form, the physical form, is a camouflage that you see. [...] You see the camouflage or the physical form.

[...] And permeating everything, it could almost pass unnoticed itself since it takes on the form of that which it composes.

[...] Air and water have many forms even on your plane. [...]

[...] However, what they know as elements are of course particular camouflage patterns that may show themselves in a completely different form somewhere else.

[...] So were various systems of reality formed. [...]

The units form themselves into the various systems that they have themselves initiated. [...]

The I-structure arises from the inner self, formed about various interests, abilities, and drives. [...]

Your idea of one soul, one self, forms a significance and a selectivity that blinds you to these other realities that are as much “here and now” as your present self. [...]

[...] The data may make itself known in visual or auditory forms. [...]

[...] The organism itself forms this as a self-protective mechanism.

[...] Now in a different kind of projection, you could face for example the girl’s thought forms as a pseudophysical reality.

[...] It forms intensities upon which I can build. [...]

[...] This strains the intellect, and so I will say that in your practical terms, of which we have somewhat spoken in the past, there was what you may all refer to as a beginning, when strife and striving and a wish to be formed itself and gathered itself sufficiently together to form a contracted whole in which all possibilities were latent.

[...] Nor can individualized energy ever lose its individuality, nor in a very actual sense can anything which has ever existed go out of existence, but merely change its form.

Since energy cannot be withdrawn but only change its form, then there can be no ending, but only a contraction such as that which I have earlier explained. [...]

[...] The pyramids of psychic gestalts of which I have spoken represent in your terms all beginnings and all endings, which again expand into new beginnings and new forms.

Other shapes and forms that you could perceive, you do not; even in explaining other realities to you I must use the words shapes and forms, or you would not understand what I mean.

[...] Identity and consciousness existed long before your earth was formed.

[...] In that respect at least you are no different than I. Consciousness is the force behind matter, and it forms many other realities beside the physical one. [...]

(Jane felt the other personality would return this evening, and said she wanted to wait and let it build up, forming a kind of flue or open pathway so that she’d go up this easily to make contact. [...]

[...] But your thoughts form structures as real as the cells. [...]

Using this analogy, your mental and emotional life forms a framework composed of such structures, and these act directly upon the cells of your physical body.

[...] Because of Augustus’s particular temperament and nature, however, and his native though conventionally undeveloped creativity, he formed a structure rather than destroying one.

[...] Augustus’s case simply shows in exaggerated form the effects of your beliefs upon your physical image. [...]

The essay form gave us chances for at least a minimal study of the various forms our creative learning experiences have taken to date. [...]

Moreover, the choice of presenting the material in essay form proved to have one virtue that was more valuable than all the others combined: It allowed us to delve into the events I describe, and “our deep-seated, sometimes wrenching feelings connected to them,” a little bit at a time. [...]

[...] It would not exist in its present form—and its present form is its best form—were it not for your own participation. [...]

(“We didn’t get the tax forms from Jack Joyce until Saturday, April 14. [...]

Now: let us see how recent events reflect the dream, and how they appeared in the dream in symbolic form. [...]

[...] It does not rest in either of you alone, but rises from joint psychological structures (intently) that you have formed together, each using what characteristics you could—psychological structures that you then can use to gain a viewpoint upon reality that is so unique. [...]
