[...] We could hear the very evocative popping of firecrackers a block or so away in the night.

[...] “I’m getting that thrilling sound through my stomach as I hear the cars turn the corner. [...]

[...] We didn’t hear firecrackers any longer, just the smoothly rushing traffic sounds. [...]

[...] “When I break this bread apart,” she said, “I know it makes sounds I don’t hear, so I substitute the sound of that car turning the corner just now. [...]

[...] Now if you listen without listening too hard, in any intimate moment you can hear your molecules shout, if you will forgive me, with their own optimism. [...] I say what I say and I say more than you hear and yet you hear me silently. [...] And yet a cat is a cat, a perfect cat, whether it is flawed or has a broken foot, or whether it can hear or not hear, or whether it is ancient or young. [...]

(Before the session I mentioned that I hoped Seth would say more about John Bradley hearing Seth, as related in the 204th session. [...]

For all my humor concerning the particular communication to Philip, I wanted him to be conscious of hearing me. [...]

(I had planned a question to mention aloud at break, however, and this was simply whether it would have been possible for me to hear the static and the voice at the same time Jane has on her few occasions, had I been present and close to her.

(Jane now remembered that as Seth had spoken about her being able to hear the sound of his voice, the left side of her head and scalp, from the top of her head down to her neck, had tingled very strongly for several minutes. [...]

[...] No longer connect up the sounds you hear with their corresponding objects. Make no attempt to unify vision and hearing. [...]

[...] For example, you might mentally hear sounds, while knowing they have no physical origin. You may see nothing in your mind, or you may see images that seem to have no exterior correlation, but you may hear nothing. [...]

In our just-previous exercise, when I spoke of having you let your clear perception drop away, and told you to disconnect vision from hearing, you were drifting in terms of your own home station. [...]

[...] The gods have fun, and if you listen you can hear their laughter. [...]

Now, I try to show you all, whenever we have a session, that what you are seeing and hearing is a demonstration of the nature of human personality. [...]

At first when she began dictating Seth’s answers to my questions, Jane would hear the words within, then repeat them aloud so I could write them down. Now she does not hear the material beforehand, but simply speaks it out, literally and consciously unaware of what she is going to say from one word to the next. [...]

[...] You must of course go your own individual and yet joint ways, relying upon the great love that has sustained you together through many errors—and you are ready to hear (long pause) some family histories (emphatically) that you were not ready to hear before. [...]

[...] I was a bit surprised to hear he’d been so free of the feelings so quickly after our talk. [...]

[...] You hear about something like that and right away you think of John Hinckley and Jodie Foster.” [...]

Motion does have a sound though you may not hear it. Motion does have music though you may not hear it. [...] When you think of color, then, try to hear it, you try to sense the motion, then you can use such experiences in your art work. You can also suggest dreams in which you will hear the sort of music, with which you were acquainted. [...]

[...] You can use your abilities to hear the kind of music with which you were one time acquainted. [...] Now: when you hear this music, in your mind try to translate it into color and design. [...]

[...] By this I mean that although the eyes are for seeing, the ears for hearing, and so forth, the potentials of the physical body include the capacity to hear, for example, through any given portion of the bodily expanse … Sound, then, can be felt as well as heard, although in such cases you may say that the sound is heard in the depths of the tissues; this, however, being an analogy … Ruburt, in feeling sound, merely experienced it from a different perspective.

[...] You do not hear them….”

B. Why don’t we attract the kind of people we’d like to hear from—at least by letter?

Let us hear how things go. [...]

Now voice, by its definition, is aggressive, and it presupposes barriers, for you hear only within certain ranges. [...] There you cannot hear them. [...]

[...] The right ear, the wrong ear, bothers you for you do not want to hear what you consider the bad sounds. [...]

[...] It will help also at times if, when hearing various voices that have annoyed you in the past, you try to think of them in terms of images and colors. [...]

(Jane did pick up some material on her own—“but I don’t think you want to hear it,” she told me. [...]

(10:20.) Highly simplified indeed, the effect would be something like changing one set of glasses for another, for the physical senses are as artificial, basically speaking, to the inner self, as a set of glasses or a hearing aid is to the physical self. [...]

[...] “I worry when I hear things like that while Seth’s writing his book. [...]

[...] Do not judge the whole inner world by the disjointed images that you may at first perceive, or by the sounds that you may at first hear, for you will still be using your inner senses quite imperfectly.

[...] In the same manner the ears hear sounds that are distant from the body. In fact, and this is a rather important point, the ears ordinarily hear sounds outside the body more readily than sounds inside the body itself. [...]

[...] But as a rule the ears neither listen to nor hear the inner sounds of the body.

[...] If man A hears the screech of brakes there is an interval of time existing between the sound and his awareness of it. [...]

[...] If he were deaf he would not hear the car. [...]

[...] sorting it by date, when Jane said, “Will you write something down for me?” She actually thought it might be from Seth—she could hear his voice reciting it, I believe she said. [...]

[...] I had the feeling that that was being read loudly and clearly and richly by Seth—I could hear him doing it.”

[...] You can hear yourself speak them. [...]

[...] Though you hear the words and recognize their appropriateness, and though they may more or less approximate an expression of your feeling, they are not your feeling, and there must be a gap between your thought and your expression of it.

Of late, I hear more and more from you both in your private discussions, in which you voice opinions to the effect that overall man can hope to learn little—that the individual can only do so much, that you can at best glimpse the most minute portion of knowledge. [...]

[...] “I hear from people that your knee has been bothering you,” the doctor had said. [...]
