(“Can hypnosis send an individual ahead into his next incarnation, or into life after his earth cycle is completed?”)

[...] He is a part of his last mother’s entity.

[...] Shocked to find herself his daughter. [...]

[...] They belonged to his mother. [...]

[...] The dreamer is acquainted intimately, and has at his fingertips so to speak, a memory of his previous dream experiences, and carries within him the many inner individualistic purposes which are behind his dream actions.

After his birthday, immediately after, the day following, is an excellent day to give up his smoking habit. [...]

Immediately following the birthday his energies are more certain of themselves. The subconscious remembers the struggles of physical birth, and immediately following his birthday is a time of expansion. [...]

[...] He may if he prefers do his psychological time in the afternoons, when you are here, Joseph. Indeed now regularity is good, particularly since I have limited his time.

Even the first had its psychological implications, for the uncle at that time was dissatisfied with existence, and with his accomplishments, and the carelessness that helped result in his accident was also partially his own. [...]

[...] But the teacher exists whether or not he is speaking at that time, in your terms, and his message is as legitimate. [...]

[...] I may prepare my film in advance, in your terms, when consciously Ruburt is not aware of it, and when no impression is made upon his conscious mind.

Now, some part of Ruburt is of course aware, for I would not intrude, and he has long since given his permission for such an arrangement. [...]

[...] We soon became acquainted with him and his family on a very casual basis, since the back of his property abuts the west yard of the apartment house. Several years ago our medical friend moved to a more residential area in Elmira — just where we didn’t know — but kept his offices in his original home. [...]

[...] I’ve deleted certain portions of his material about us while leaving other parts for presentation here, since they do extend his recent work for “Unknown” Reality.)

[...] Of course we knew what Seth had suggested during last Wednesday’s session, and his advice was valuable; at the same time we’d been strongly inclined to make the purchase after looking at the house anew that Wednesday afternoon. [...]

1. I want to note here that at the same time Jane and I decided to buy the hill house, we learned that the house next door, to the west, would soon be for sale; because of a job transfer its owner would be moving with his family to California this summer. [...]

[...] He asked me to vacuum his room, nonchalantly as if it were taken for granted that I perform the chore. [...] If he wanted his room vacuumed he should do it himself. [...]

3. To consider: my worries when Seth was dictating Events about the effect of his ideas on medicine and impulses on others. [...]

[...] He is learning to use these techniques to keep his purpose in mind. [...] He has become more determined than ever to change his mode of thought and to rid himself of the physical symptoms.

[...] He only has to be reasonably proficient in altering his beliefs. [...]

[...] Your friend Bill Gallagher’s operation represented a triumph on his part, for he regained his health in one important area—an achievement of worth. [...]

[...] Children are also taught, however, that reading for anything but short periods was somehow unhealthy, that daydreaming or staying alone for anything but a brief period meant that the child was withdrawn, and that his activities—or hers—were somehow unnatural.

Physically, for example, you are in much better physical condition than Joe Bumbalo, but he is a prime example, to you, of the exteriorized consciousness—and while on the one hand you envy his shoveling the walk, you are to some degree underneath all that, somewhat contemptuous—somewhat, now; I do not want to speak too strongly, but simply help you become aware of some feelings you might have submerged because you think they are not nice. [...]

(In addition, there is the interesting news from Alan Neuman, regarding his giving Seven to a well-known movie director, as well as showing it to another agent, etc. [...]

[...] It is because the man thinks differently that he has the ulcer, for the ulcer is the result of his characteristic method of thought. It is the result of his characteristic manner of viewing reality. This causes him to add to his self-image, in reality, that disability. The ulcer is formed intimately from the electrical reality that composes his thoughts. [...]

(Bill Gallagher said that in his opinion Jane, when speaking as Jane, doesn’t move her facial muscles the same as Seth does. Seth forms his words more carefully and distinctly, Bill said, and this effort shows.

[...] He is only aware of the interior time element as it appears within the framework of his dream. [...]

[...] He sees parents who have died in physical ways, and in his dreams he knows, on many occasions, what other characters think within the dream context.

[...] On the other hand of course Ruburt also expected you to come up with and initiate the noncontact behavior when he felt that your relationship was getting too close for comfort, that his physical love for you might lead him some time to neglect consciously or unconsciously proper contraceptive behavior.

[...] The kitchen once more becomes a sacred place of nourishment to him, and the food that he prepares is much more nourishing to your bodies, because of his attitude and its results upon the atoms and molecules composing the food.

[...] He interpreted it as a sign that you were willing to nourish his body—

Because of this role, adopted rather early on both of your parts in your married life, and because of his dim, distorted and hidden perception of it, he was vastly astonished at your permissive attitude when our sessions began.

[...] His presence was not asked for, and he did not appear during the evening. This was an experiment tried, however, more or less at his suggestion that we try different things.

[...] His name was Albert, Albert Lang. [...] The cobbler and his wife didn’t have any children. [...]

[...] He carried no staff, and had what was apparently a brownish long robe flapping about the calves of his legs. [...] I could not see the man’s head or shoulders, or even his waist. [...]

[...] After a while we substituted for the ring a Spanish-American military insignia, of brass, that Jane’s grandfather had secured from his brother. [...]

Now, H at the paper is not doing all of this on his own entirely. [...] This takes much of his energy.

Our friend is finally learning to take his concentration away from his symptoms, and he is losing them. [...]

[...] Recently he told us that his territory might be changed, effectively cutting out Elmira and including instead an area of small towns in Pennsylvania. [...]

As Ruburt looked out the window he was using all of his abilities, but he could not physically keep both events going at one time, or rather his awareness could not contain all of the perceptive information.

[...] This represented the switching off and on of his consciousness as it perceived usually restricted perceptions, then lost them.

Many of the students are embarrassed by Larry’s behavior, and his piercing laugh, but Ruburt recognizes the energy involved. [...]

Then he realized that his body was sleeping. [...]

Some improvements, again, have begun, barely noticed: the additional mobility in the morning, when a short while ago Ruburt would sit for an hour or more after breakfast while you brought him his second cup of coffee. Now, he ordinarily moves about before he goes to work at his table, and takes less time to arrive here. [...]

Following your work so far with the book, Ruburt is learning to separate his body beliefs from his concepts of rockbed reality—to question them. [...]

(“What’s going on with his head?” For the record: Jane’s head has been draining steadily most of the day; it had been bothering her even during the session.)

[...] His name is Ralph Ramstad and we haven’t heard from him in any manner for many years. I went through Pratt with him, and Jane met he and his wife once after we were married and were still living in the NY metropolitan area. [...] But when he pulled the shorts up around his waist the blue denim kept turning into a blue Turkish towel type of fabric that he tried to pin together so they’d cover him and wouldn’t fall down. [...]

[...] His knowledge of other realities is limited however to infrequent glimpses. [...] As long as his perception in this manner is so disorganized and so fragmentary he cannot hope to compose any conception of the total.

[...] If the basic personality is fairly well balanced, then his existence in the dream reality will reinforce his physical existence. [...]

[...] Man is indeed his intellect, but he is much else besides.

[...] Every individual has had his daydreams, and here you can see more clearly this change of focus. [...]

The entire rib area is stretching because of his exercises and walking. The discomfort there will gradually pass, as indeed other symptoms have since he began his walking. [...]

[...] We expect his visit to be pleasant.

[...] He said “You do indeed have control,” and his personal manner was such that he convinced them. [...]

[...] That is simply characteristic of his body.

[...] However, I am afraid that we must temporarily clip his wings, for indeed he would go too fast, too soon.

[...] His capability for such focus is increasing.

[...] But there will not be a return to his past routine for quite a while.

Psychological experiments as whole present him with an excellent means of using his energies. [...]

There is an inability to handle his own energy. At times his own energy frightens him, and then it seems to abandon him completely. [...]

[...] Earlier he’d asked if Seth would speak about his health problems.)

[...] (Pause.) A steady rather than too spasmodic application to his work is needed. [...]

His people series is a step to something else, a good and necessary step from which a new development will mature. [...]

[...] He does not have a beard but his face is prickly and dark. He smokes and his fingers are long and stained with nicotine. His trousers are somehow strange, and he wears white shoes or not shoes, but his feet appear lighter, you see. [...]

[...] Our friend, the Jesuit, is here, and five others have gone this same way earlier and he knows this: it is his reason for going, you see. [...]

A former governor of another country once stayed at this island also and he was removed from office ahead of schedule or otherwise politically ruined, returning to his homeland in disgrace. [...]

The increased appearance of his ability creatively, as seen in his own writing, should be apparent to you Joseph, and is objectively apparent in the letters he has received. The increased focus of his abilities I predicted during an unscheduled session, if you recall. His short stories dating approximately from that time display a much increased facility and knowledge.

[...] I do not know why on this particular occasion his car was parked as it was; perhaps because another car had temporarily taken his regular place, then left later. Since my friend of downstairs knew his car must be blocking mine, perhaps I received a telepathic communication from him upon arising this morning. Going downstairs after breakfast, I saw the car was gone, which meant my neighbor had moved it considerably earlier than is usually his habit, since he leaves for work sometime after I do.

[...] Conceivably at times during a social evening several glasses of wine, under certain conditions bringing him quite naturally to the same sort of state that he goes through and passes beyond in these sessions, could lead him to misinterpret his data, or get his signals crossed.

[...] That is, we miss instances when his abilities are at high peak. [...]
