(12:19.) In the sleep state after our last session, then, he allowed his consciousness to expand enough so that it became aware of information and experience usually censored automatically through mental and neurological habit. [...]

[...] It is one thing to play with concepts of multidimensionality, or probabilities, and quite another to be practically presented with them, even briefly, when your thought patterns and neurological habits tell you that they cannot be translated. [...]

[...] We developed the habit of watching certain television programs on Wednesday evening, but since we’ve gone back to holding sessions regularly, we haven’t been able to see them. I suggested to Jane that we shift Wednesday night’s session to Thursday night.

[...] It’s at once absurdly simple and hidden—until you acquire certain new habits. [...]

[...] When they appear otherwise, it is the result of habits and beliefs. [...]

[...] They also have an effect upon projections and dreams, incidentally, and they affect the habits of birds.

[...] Through poor habits he attracts negative influences from others, and actually amplifies them, projecting them outward in a highly magnified manner. [...]

[...] And as the progress improves old bodily habits are also disrupted, and serve their purposes no longer. [...]

[...] You would be if the rest of the week were cleared—and it would be cleared if you realized that what was involved was simply a matter of your own quite natural working habits and convenience, and made it clear that people were welcome at another time.

[...] I suggest only that you work from 9:30 to 12:30, from 2:00 until 4:30, and an hour or so, as is your habit, in the evening; and that those hours be maintained. [...]

[...] I realize that your social mores also dictate your eating habits — but four light meals a day will overall serve you very well, and give the body a more steady, regulated nourishment.

[...] Again, have Ruburt concentrate upon his improvements, and keep up your habit of rereading earlier material—again particularly the material on the roles of the conscious and unconscious minds. [...]
