[...] 9:42 to 9:58.) Now: You may after death utterly refuse to believe that you are dead, and continue to focus your emotional energy toward those you have known in life.

[...] For a certain period of time, therefore, you can manipulate this form so that it takes any appearance that it had when it was connected with your physical form in the immediately previous physical life. [...]

[...] In regular life, you organize your experience very neatly and push it into accepted patterns or channels, into preconceived ideas and beliefs. [...]

[...] I tried to give the reader hints that would increase practical, spiritual, and physical enjoyment and fulfillment in daily life. [...]

[...] Already, though, I am struck by the insights on art and life as they are presented.

[...] From your standpoint this represents a deep state of unconscious creativity — at the cellular levels particularly — by which all cellular life communicates and forms a vital biological network that provides the very basis for any “higher” experience at all.

What you call dreaming is obviously dependent upon this cellular communication, which distributes the life force throughout the planet. [...]

The events of your life will follow a similar structure. [...]

Regardless of your circumstances, your condition in life, your training or your aptitudes, at your own threshold you stand at the center of all realities—for at your center all existences intersect. [...]

[...] Your life is one dream that you are remembering.

[...] I am aware that I knew them in a dream, rather than in normal waking life.

(Someplace in here I dance quite happily, am filled with the joy of discovery, and am quite as happy as I have ever been in my life. [...]

The tub was next interpreted as a washing machine in a secondary level that was in itself a symbol leading to the next interpretation, belonging to a past life, that of an old tub that leaked. In his dream the washing machine leaked, leading him into a third level, where the tub was a symbol for the old ship that leaked when you, Joseph, were a passenger on your way to Boston in a past life.

[...] It is therefore able to view the self as a whole, with its past and present life. [...]

[...] The past administrator of the gallery was known to you in that life, and was a passenger on the same ship. [...]

[...] He obtained subconscious information concerning your past life, the one symbol of the tub serving three purposes. [...]

But I still couldn’t quite believe in personal life after death. [...] “And just maybe, with the Malba episode, I picked up knowledge of her life from the same source.”

She couldn’t explain much about her own situation, however, though she insisted that she was happier where she was than she had been in this life. [...]

[...] She said again that he was a poor farmer and that her life had been a lonely one, since she had few friends. [...]

The camouflage is necessary at this stage of development — intricate, complicated, various and beyond the understanding of the outer senses, which are the perceptors of the camouflage itself, peculiarly adapted to see under particular circumstances … It is only the inner senses that will give you any evidence at all of the basic nature of life.

[...] If young adulthood is considered the epitome of life, blessedness, and success, then old age is viewed as the opposite — a time of failure and decay.

It is true that the patterns will have their own flow at certain points in your life. [...]

[...] In these instances the beauty and illumination of your dream state can be clear in the conscious mind, and used to enrich your physical life. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s feelings of panic can then be understood as originating in response to a highly complicated, intense early life, and in concrete situations. [...] Ruburt’s mind was concerned with the larger framework, however, in which his mother’s life existed. He could not be satisfied with an answer like, “That is what life is,” or with a simplistic denouncement of man’s basic nature. [...]

[...] I went back to working on taxes while Jane talked to him, and at the same time found myself wondering whether his unexpected visit might symbolize one of the very facets of Jane’s dilemma about privacy versus the public life—at least as I understand it: Her vulnerability and availability to anyone who chooses to come here. [...]

[...] I have a certain freedom by nature that is (pause) “traded in” by mortal people in return for life’s brilliant focus. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The responsibility for each person’s life lies with that person. [...]

It is because of this that he speaks through you, because of your youth, and because your condition in this system or life somewhat approximates his own situation within another system. [...]

[...] Eventually four children, two of these now known to our friend as other personalities in this life.

[...] One of your children in the life given earlier is now your mother.

At the same “time” his body kept trying to assert its privileges and natural life, but he saw it as a tool to work. [...]

[...] He realizes now that the body’s reality is the framework through which all must come in this life, and that limiting its vitality will eventually end up limiting all experience and all “work.”

[...] His creative mobility is dependent upon his physical mobility now in this life—something he did not understand before.

Another more personal core belief: “My life is worthless. [...] Instead he or she may emotionally feel that life has no meaning, that individual action is meaningless, that death is annihilation; and connected to this will be a conglomeration of subsidiary beliefs that deeply affect the family involved, and all those with whom such a person comes in contact.

[...] The belief will reach into the most intimate areas of his or her life, and finally no evidence will seem to be available to disprove it.

[...] But it is basically free of that reality, not confined to the life-and-death saga, and at other levels deals with the blueprints for its own physical existence.

[...] There is, therefore, a quite valid, vital, real and vastly creative inner reality, and an inward sequence of events from which your present universe and life emerges. [...]

[...] There’s much discussion now of the additional stresses and frustrations encountered by those in the medical disciplines, aside from personality traits or conflicts that can lead an individual to take his or her own life; the suicide of a doctor, for instance, may be triggered by his inability to fulfill the role society expects of him.

[...] So in your physical life you die and begin a new life, with little memory of the one that has gone before, as you find it so difficult to recall your dreams. [...]

[...] To me it is as if you had finished one life, you see. [...]

(9:45.) It is far simpler to recognize your own beliefs in regard to religion, politics or similar subjects, than it is to pinpoint your deepest beliefs about yourself and who and what you are — particularly in relationship with your own life.

1. Life is a valley of sorrows.

[...] I must accept the negative aspects of my life because of my karma.³

[...] I think the information on Jane is quite relevant to both her work and her life in general.)

9. Material on the psychic and physical challenges that Jane chose to deal with in this life can be found in sessions 708 and 713 (among others). [...]

The longer we went without class, the more Jane and I saw how much its demise paralleled the ending of “Unknown” Reality. Both events were inevitable, we came to understand; both had had their time; our regrets about the finishing of both are real, while simultaneously we heartily agree that the nature of life in this physical — or “camouflage” — reality is one of unending change and renewal. [...]

“The counterpart idea is merely a small attempt to hint at that interrelationship — an interrelationship that of course includes all species and forms of life.”

[...] This means that I sidetrack —but not try to repress—those cultural and learned beliefs I’ve let rule my life in large measure, instead of following the natural, creative dictates of my first, or primary man. [...]

(My own activities, then, have aroused in Jane the urge to try the same approach, and I’ve suggested she think of her own women numbers 1 and 2. It seems that she confronts the same basic challenges I do, I told her, so she could delineate the two opposing portions of her personality well enough to understand that many of her cultural beliefs have been imposed upon her natural, spontaneous, free, creative self, and to such an extent that the acquired beliefs have turned into detriments rather than aids, that she envisioned as helping her obtain what she wants in life. [...]

[...] I expected there to be a great difference, but watching our early history as shown in the movie made life seem impossibly grim 80,000 years ago. [...]

[...] The stability of planetary life depended above all upon this basic cooperation, in which all species pulled together.

[...] Again, you have free will in the conditions of your life, given the characteristics that are your own. [...]

Your thoughts, feelings, desires and intents, your reincarnational knowledge¹ as well, modify that structure, bring certain latent characteristics into actualization, minimize others, as through the experience of your life you use your free will and constantly make new decisions.
