(9:34.) As you approached the boundaries of certain psychic lands, the wristwatch would run backwards. [...]

In other lands of the psyche, however, even stranger events might occur. [...]

[...] In a fashion this involved old Christian principles, of course, as pure socialism does—so that a man shared his goods with his fellows, and all land belonged to the people, so that private property—in those terms—would not exist.

[...] He was too socialistically inclined by far for the establishment, and when he turned finally to the land, it was a proud and yet defiant retreat. [...]

[...] And what good was the most equitable arrangement of land or property, of food or goods, if the ordinary worker was still somehow basically discontented?

[...] Nevertheless any reasonable plot of land would have satisfied this to a reasonable and realistic degree. You cannot afford to satisfy it at this point to a large degree, and in any case your desire for land would have to be completely allowed to dominate all other considerations, to be completely satisfied.

[...] Because of your past existence as a landowner, you particularly are resentful of those who own land. [...]

That is all of the land.

Any section of the land has an identity, so to speak, and I am not talking symbolically. Such identities represent the combined organizations of consciousness of land, man, and animal, within any given realm. [...]

[...] Their products are the seas upon which you sail your ships, the skies through which your airplanes fly, the land upon which your cities sprawl, and the very reality that makes your culture, or any culture, possible.

Again however, through this excellent balance and these fine controls, the ego will accept knowledge derived from the dream state, as a man might accept a message from a distant land in which he does not care to dwell, and whose environment would both mystify and frighten him.

Here the ego cannot go, but it can benefit from the information that is given to it, and perhaps in time even a shadow of the ego may pass through that strange land, and feel in some small way at home.

[...] Mankind has learned to explore the physical environment, but has barely begun the greater inner journeys that will be embarked upon as the inner lands of the psyche are joyously and bravely explored. In those terms, there is a land of the psyche. [...] Yet there is indeed an inner commerce that occurs, and as the exterior continents rise from the inner structure of the earth, so the lands of the psyche emerge from an even greater invisible source.

There was always more land. No matter how fast he ran or how far he traveled, early man could not run out of land, or trees, or forests, or food supplies. If he came to a desert, he still knew that fertile lands were somewhere available, even if it was a matter of finding them. [...]

I do not believe you will have any saucer landings for quite awhile, not physical landings in the usual sense of the word. [...]

[...] Some space inhabitants would not be able to land under those conditions at all. [...] To land their own rocket ships, space travelers must enter your atmosphere and use its conditions while maintaining their own integrity. [...]

[...] If an event were a physical craft such as a spaceship, the EE units would allow it to land in your world, but would not be the original propellants. [...]

[...] I am (underlined) generalizing here to make a point: a largely postcard land, in which social clichés pass for communication, in which social ceremonies take the place of private communications—a land in which beliefs must be like landmarks, unchanging, utterly dependable, always there to be used for touchstones lest the puritanical Protestant stray from worthy goals. A land in which things must be judged thus-and-so, a land in which people disappear as much as possible into established family and social roles, where the lines are clearly marked. [...]

[...] We had been on that land a long time and then you people came in and looked down on us. [...]

([Joel:] “Yet you had gone in and pushed them out of their own land.”

[...] So you choose your psychic land as well. You can travel from one psychic land to another as you can journey into other parts of the physical world. [...]

(Again loudly:) Michelangelo⁵ roamed the centuries, picking up visions and ideas as others might buy postcards, journeying from one country to a foreign land. [...]

(The Crusades consisted of a series of military expeditions sent out by the Christian powers in the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centuries, to recover the Holy Land from the Moslems. [...] Presumably, such a traveler could have reached Constantinople [now Istanbul], by an overland journey across Turkey, which lay north of the Arab lands, or by sailing the eastern Mediterranean around Turkey, through the Dardanelles and so into the city. [...]

[...] It fell to the ground and set the land aflame. [...]

[...] The land was not jungle, a barren area, a dry river, members recruited from an army. [...] This may not be the precise title:Stolen Lands or Islands, published or distributed or whatever by Mission House, Ltd. [...]

[...] In the past you treated the land in your country as if your species, being the “fittest,” had the right to survive at the expense of all other species, and at the expense of the land itself. [...]

(The Essenes were one of the four known Jewish sects active in the Holy Land at the time of Christ. [...]

[...] One portion of the group traveled to the land we now call Palestine, and the other migrated, in the next century, appearing in southern Europe.

[...] Or the plane lands at this time and the people are dismissed then.

For you (pointing to me) always there has been a love of land, and the fruits of the land.

When you paint the land, do so thinking in terms having to do with its past as well as present and future. [...]

[...] Like me, he didn’t believe that Fred flew here from Denver—that is, talking a stewardess into giving him free transportation all that way—yet Fred got here somehow, and I explained that the manuscript of Fred’s that I’ve looked over contains descriptions of his landing in Pittsburgh, PA, and working his way east through a series of stops at restaurants, in which he’d add to his manuscript each time. [...]

Give us a moment … (Long pause, eyes closed.) There are lands of the mind.⁵ That is, the mind has its own “civilizations,” its own personal culture and geography, its own history and inclinations. [...]

5. Jane herself first mentioned “lands of the mind” during break in the 703rd session, which was held some three weeks ago — but she’d picked up the phrase from Seth. [...]
