A NEW BEGINNING.
INSTRUCTIONS, SUGGESTIONS,
AND RESOLUTIONS — AND WHEN TO IGNORE THESE

[...] Instructions, Suggestions, and Resolutions — and When to Ignore These.”

[...] I want him to then stress, this week, all of his good points, and as much as possible to ignore for that amount of time the negative ones.

[...] You think it more realistic to expect a continuation of past performance, because you believe that man alone, of all nature, is basically ignorant and unknowing.

[...] You have been shunting aside the full responsibility of yourself, and ignoring them and you cannot for long ignore these responsibilities. [...]

[...] Your mind then forces your body to be in a state of constant alert — but more unfortunately, you train yourself to ignore your direct, sensual feedback in the present moment.

Often then you ignore your senses’ reality in the world — the luxurious vitality and comfort of the daily moment — by exaggerating the importance of secondary experience as defined for this discussion.

The most negative projection or prophecy seems to be the most practical one; when you are reading of the world’s ills, you say in all honesty, and with no humor: “How can I ignore the reality, the destructive reality, of the present?” In the most practical, immediate, mundane terms, however, you and your world are in that moment naturally and physically safe, as your bodily senses immediately perceive. [...]

[...] You do not have to be ignorant of wars in other corners of the world, or close your eyes. [...]

[...] If you understand the nature of probabilities, you will not need to pretend to ignore your present situation. [...]

[...] You will choose from your previous experience all of those events that reinforce your conscious beliefs, and so ignore those that do not; the latter may even seem to be nonexistent.

To pretend to ignore your age, to act young because you fear your age, is no answer. [...]

Now as far as the species is concerned, all variations are necessary—and it is as if (underlined) in one instance a member of the species—for its own reasons, but also on behalf of the whole—decides to specialize in one particular area, to isolate certain abilities, so to speak, and display them with the greatest tenacity and brilliance, while nearly completely ignoring certain other areas. In your society, however, the capacities of the reasoning mind have been considered in opposition to the intuitive abilities, so that your ideas of what a person is or should be largely ignore the idea of emotional achievement, emotional understanding.

[...] The fact is that man lives by those values that science ignores (quietly emphatic, and repeated).

Each moment is then like a mosaic, only in your current life history you follow only one color or pattern, and ignore the others. [...]

[...] This does not mean that you are ignoring reality. [...]

[...] On awakening could feel my eyes were bugging out and vision blurred some; Pat and Carroll came; I’m embarrassed to be seen walking as I do—worse Carroll comments on my eyes—throat—I’m mad at me and at her; instant poor mood, worry about eyes again—think worse things—make an effort to trust the physician within; tell myself to ignore negative suggestions—then return to natural data. [...]

Yet Buddhist belief, for instance, maintains that our perception of the world is not fundamental, but an illusion; our “ignorance” of this basic undifferentiated “suchness” then results in the division of reality into objects and ideas. [...] Even given their undeniable accomplishments, why didn’t the Eastern countries create ages ago the immortal societies that could have served as models for those of the West to emulate — cultures and/or nations in which all the mundane human vicissitudes (in those terms) had been long understood and abolished: war, crime, poverty, ignorance, and disease?

This sense of division within the self forces you to think that there is a remote, spiritual, wise, intuitive inner self, and a bewildered, put-upon, spiritually ignorant, inferior physical self, which happens to be the one you identify with. [...] The inner self then becomes so idealized and so remote that by contrast the physical self seems only the more ignorant and flawed. [...]

[...] Then from Seth she’d picked up that she was wrong — that her kind of information would be considered “noninformation,” and so would be ignored.

The church ignored Christ’s physical birth, for example, and made his mother an immaculate virgin, which meant that the consciousness of the species would for a longer time ignore its relationship with nature and its feminine aspects. [...]

[...] On the other hand, holy wars and ignorance would keep the population down. [...]

[...] Part of my purpose is to acquaint your egotistical self with knowledge that is already known to a larger portion of your own consciousness, that you have long ignored.

[...] There are other realities all about you, but you ignore their existence, and you blot out all stimuli that come from them. [...]

[...] You have free will, you can choose to ignore the blueprints. You can choose to ignore the blueprints for some time. [...]

(10:17.) The answers to the origins of the universe and of the species lie, I’m afraid, in realms that you have largely ignored — precisely in those domains that you have considered least scientific, and in those that it appeared would yield the least practical results.

[...] Being so ignorant, how does it perform so well?

[...] In so doing, however, he ignored his feelings to some extent. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Then you lack trust in yourselves because you try to live up to images that are not connected with your backgrounds, and often ignore them. [...]

When you ask why you did not understand when you were young what you know now, you are ignoring the validity of your own past to some extent, and denying the accomplishments that have resulted—because it seems that you should now be much further on, so that you create a kind of artificial self who began where you are now, and with whom it seems you can never catch up. [...]

At different times in life certain areas may become prerogatives, while other just-as-important areas are largely ignored, or downplayed, in which case they suffer. [...] The same applies, for example, to national conditions, until finally the ignored areas become so obvious that something must be done.

[...] In this reality you very nicely emphasize all the similarities which bind you together and make a pattern of them and you very nicely ignore all the dissimilarities. [...] Out of a vast field of perception you choose to focus your attention upon certain specific areas and ignore all others, and so there is perfect agreement among you as far as this small area is concerned. [...]
