[...] His intellect and intuitions spontaneously operate together. [...]

[...] The impediment with reincarnation has nothing to do with his intuitive understanding of it, which was always reflected in his writing. [...]

[...] When an idea comes to you, do not play with it intellectually, but reach out to it intuitively. [...]

[...] He was fairly young, then, however, when he first encountered conflicts between creativity as such, intuitive knowledge, and other people’s ideas about reality. [...]

[...] No matter what he was taught in Catholic school or later in the public one, his intuitions, wedded to his creative capacities, led him to question established views. [...]

He has held back his inspiration, though, out of confusion, wondering about experiences that cannot be put directly into beneficial use, and also out of concern, again, that the spontaneous self and its intuitional insights will put him in further conflict with the world. [...]

[...] I have not forgotten your questions, but also try to keep these sessions kindly, and to respond to your intuitions as you express them. [...]

[...] Eve, rather than Adam, for example, eats of the apple first because it was the intuitive elements of the race, portrayed in the story as female, that would bring about this initiation; only afterward could the ego, symbolized by Adam, attain its new birth and its necessary alienation. [...]

[...] The woman being created from his rib symbolized the necessary emergence, even from the new creature, of the intuitive forces that will always come forth — for without that development the race would not have attained self-consciousness in your terms.

[...] The earthly characteristics often appear as he is depicted in animal form, for he was also of course connected with the intuitive terrestrial attributes from which the new human consciousness would spring.

[...] You cannot expect a girl to show “strong, logical thought development” when she is taught that a woman is intuitional — that the intuitions are opposed to logic, and that she must be feminine, or nonlogical, at all costs. [...]

[...] The male shows up better in the sciences, while the female is considered intuitional.

[...] It is intuitively known, but it must be realized. [...]

Ruburt’s interpretation of the other dream was correct, and represented intuitional knowledge. [...]

[...] Concentration upon physical data takes the conscious mind off for a trip, and it gives the inner self greater freedom to initiate new developments and intuitional creations. [...]

[...] And Laurel Lee Davies, the young lady who’s now helping me carry on my publishing activities, at once intuitively picked out from my files the one right photograph of Jane to us for Seth, Dreams … Jane’s father, Delmer Roberts, took the snapshot when she was on vacation with him in Baja, California in 1951. [...]

[...] In spite of all of her questions, however, her strong creative vitality — her intuitive insistence upon using her most unusual abilities — kept her focusing ahead, and I helped her as much as I could. [...]

[...] No other answer makes intuitive or consciously reasonable sense to me. [...]

[...] My unimpeded, creative psyche intuitively knows that positive answers to its questions exist, that otherwise it wouldn’t bother to ask those questions within nature’s marvelous framework, that nature is alive and, as best we can sensually conceive of it, eternal. [...]

In such circumstances these perceptions may find their way to the ego, appearing as inspirations or intuitive thought. It is obvious that many such intuitions appear when the personality is in a dreaming state or in states of dissociation. The intuitions themselves, while seemingly mental, are action, and as such they produce changes in the physical organism, both chemical and electromagnetic.

The reality of such intuitive thoughts as electromagnetic actions has not been understood, and is quite vital to any comprehension of the human system. [...]

[...] It will attract intuitive ideas on your part, and intuitive actions on the part of others. [...]

[...] It will initiate intuitive concepts, ideas in your work which will automatically attract others to possess them. [...]

[...] But I tell you that in each of these cases he was attempting to offset your negative attitude, and to use his abilities in the way he intuitively realized he could, to help matters.

He is by nature highly intuitive and should give his moods some freedom. [...]

These were meant as checks against impulsive or intuitive behavior. [...]

[...] That was a portrait of Joseph; in other words of your own inner identity as you intuitively perceived it at the time. [...]

[...] And yet we wanted a balance also, and so you stand as a man who intuitively recognized the value of inner information and the importance of the material, even though you were unacquainted with such ideas.

[...] It is itself supported, as your intuitions are, by life’s magical processes. [...]

[...] (Pause.) He was gifted intuitively and intellectually, however, and naturally was propelled toward growth in both areas — areas that he felt stressed contradictory rather than complementary characteristics.²

[...] The intellect is, again, the result of highly spontaneous processes of which it itself knows nothing, and the intuitions that are considered so undisciplined and unreasonable are based upon calculations far more spectacular than those of which the conscious mind can conceive. [...]

[...] See the material after 9:44 in the session of August 13, about the intellect and the ‘undisciplined and unreasonable’ intuitions. [...]

[...] Yet quite as strongly I’m often scandalized intellectually by the same events that intuitively intrigue me, or by the interpretations placed upon them. It does no good to pretend otherwise, and I think there’s a good reason for this sometimes uneasy blend of intuition and intellect.

Intuitively and emotionally we often understand more than we intellectually realize. [...]

[...] You need to exercise your own intuition to some extent. [...]

[...] You believe that the intuitions and the intellect are natural enemies, and they are not so there need be no battleground between with you in the middle. [...]

(10:00.) Now these people are chosen by others to manifest outwardly the interior truths that all intuitively know. [...]

[...] When such a personality appears in history then, he is intuitively recognized, for the way has long been laid, and in many cases the prophecies announcing such an arrival have already been given.

It is no coincidence that Ruburt does not possess a scientific vocabulary, though he does possess a scientific as well as intuitive mind. [...]

[...] To some extent the attempt on the part of science to consider such material may possibly bring about those qualities of true scientific intuition that will help science bridge the gap between such divergent views as its own and ours.

[...] The last two show early indications of emerging intuitive knowledge. [...] (Along these lines, I wonder if tranquilizers often cut us off from such intuitive breakthroughs by preventing us from coming to grips with the true “darkness of soul” that can precede such experiences and by allowing us to accept temporary, objective and artificial solutions.)

I’m including in this chapter a few poems as notes of a subjective autobiography, to show what events triggered this first release of unconscious material on my part, opening the doors to the interior universe; for now I believe that certain personal conditions are characteristic prerequisites for such developments, that the channels of intuitive knowledge are opened according to the intensity of individual need. [...]

This may not seem so to you, but because subconsciously and basically, though not consciously, Ruburt trusts both his own intuition and the validity of our sessions. [...]

This is because you are more apt to place stress upon regularity as a matter of your temperament, though you trust your intuitions in the sessions, as he does.

[...] There are no tendencies now worth speaking of, but the discouragement could in certain circumstances turn into an unhealthy despondency, and his intuitional urge to counteract it by seeking out people is a sound one.

[...] But you can intuitively discover the nature of the soul or entity, and in many ways intuitive knowledge is superior to any other kind.

One prerequisite for such an intuitive understanding of the soul is the desire to achieve it. [...]

[...] The fact remains that Ruburt’s intuitions have been of fairly high quality. [...] In many cases you could for example accept Ruburt’s basic intuitive impulse, and then make your own changes. [...] When you both are intuitively attracted to the same proposed move then in most cases it would be wise to make it. [...]

[...] I merely mean that when Ruburt feels strongly one way or another about a particular situation that you should give the matter deep thought and consideration, since you can usually, not always but usually, trust his intuitions.

I did suggest that for the present you trust Ruburt’s intuitions in the matter of your parents while you caught up with the technique of dissociation. [...]
