[...] Man to fix refrigerator and a fan—R. sees him on porch.)

[...] A man in a dark suit stands up. [...]

(“Not on this date, but on October 23, we met a man originally from Detroit, Michigan. [...]

[...] It is connected with a general, but I believe the man whose image is represented by the statue, stabbed the general.

[...] I was dancing with middle-aged man who had some limp or such. [...]

Because of the present situation, where the man in your present life is a mere lad, the dream then changed levels. [...]

[...] You also however intended to become intimately associated with the man who is now your father.

[...] You intended a brother lifelong relationship with the man who is, instead, your father. [...]

You stretch, a symbol of the relatively sleepy, unrealized period of youth, early youth, in which you were caught, hence the stiffish arm that was not able therefore to keep the man who is your father with you in time. [...]

And when I looked around me, it seemed that for all of man’s good intentions, he only transmitted the errors of his race; that each man or woman unknowingly perpetuated the peculiar sins and failings of their families. [...]

Old hates lie in wait for the infant
As he grows into a man,
Then they leap upon him
When he puts his father’s coat on.
When the father’s bones drop into the grave,
The lice flock up as the dark earth falls
To feed on a son’s guilt love.

No man can look in his son’s face,
What was done to him he does in turn,
For he carries the hate in his blood.
Ghosts of days forgotten,
Tragedies unseen, unspoken,
Wait in the past’s proud flesh,
And nothing can shake them off.

[...] These are ghosts of memories, not this man’s memories really at all—ghosts of those memories that still linger because of the physical connection, the relationship between the man who remained and the main personality who did not stay.

The man that is left, your father, will be agitated, but then he will feel peaceful. [...]

In each of her three sons she sees portions of the man she married. [...]

(11:11.) In terms of history as you understand it, man felt safe and secure as a prime species under one sun, imagining that all else revolved about his being. This provided, in that framework, a stability that was dispensed with as man allowed his consciousness other freedoms. [...]

It is almost impossible to begin with concepts of one isolated universe, one self at the mercy of its past, one time sequence, and end up with any acceptable theory of a multidimensional soul or godhead that is anything else but a glorified personified concept of what you think man is.⁶

[...] As in your terms the cavemen ventured out into the daylight of the earth, there is a time for man to venture out into a greater knowledge of his subjective reality, comma, to explore the dimensions of selfhood and go beyond the small areas of himself in which he has thus far found shelter.

[...] This is not to say that he is not a family man, but that the image of a family man has been transposed by him, as well as by others.

[...] I indeed have been a woman, as Ruburt has often been a man.

[...] Nevertheless both Ruburt and the woman who transcribed the notes are unusually independent, and women will resent independence in other women, though they appreciate the same quality in a man.

[...] I for one intend to enjoy myself; and you, young man, have been given the best advice of your lifetime, if I do say so myself.

[...] There are elements in it quite evocative of man camped about any lake, of his relationship with nature and with water, and with his sometimes seemingly contradictory desire to be apart from his fellows while still united somehow with a larger fellowship. [...]

(9:00 during a rather steady, emphatic delivery.) Man has within him the need to rest and to explore, to stay by “the hills of home,” (from Thomas Wolfe), and to explore beyond them, but such a relatively accessible second environment does have certain advantages for you and Ruburt over those it sometimes presents for others, and such a willingness to explore the probability alone can give you some excellent results by providing a new elasticity of attitude, and in a fashion by bringing home in a different way the idea that the present is the point of power. [...]

(Long pause.) Animals massage each other, and also use touch healing, and these activities represent the natural characteristics available in the “animal family,” as well as occurring naturally in the family of man. [...]

[...] Once, a man who tailored clothes was named “Tailor.” A man who was a robber was called “Robber.” If you were the son of a man with a certain name, then “son of” was simply added, so you had “Robberson.” [...]

This barrage is meant to push consciousness in its official stance nearly to desperation, so that it opens other doorways of awareness, and extends itself into the intuitional realms, giving itself greater insight, and providing “an extra band” of communication—the merging of man’s innate “psychic” abilities with his normally attuned consciousness. The effort then is meant to release another kind of intelligence for which man is innately equipped.

[...] It now becomes apparent that a war, or near-war in one country is a threat to all others, and man’s consciousness at the level we are discussing is struggling to attain a planetary concern, a sense of life’s balances.

[...] In that life Judy had been a man, and a sailor. [...]

[...] At this time, 1602, in England, the man committed an act which put him greatly in his sister’s debt. [...]

[...] The involvement between the two personalities of the man and the woman at this time is a good one, as far as commitments previously in other lives is concerned. [...]

(February 7, Sunday, 10:45 PM approx.: While trying our seance with Lee and Judy Wright, I had a quick impression that a man stood to one side of me. [...]

[...] A man will die to protect his children. If pure personal survival were all that mattered to the so-called subconscious, such acts would be impossible—and in fact, they would be inconceivable on man’s part. [...]

[...] The answer is that as beneficial, as desirable, as good health is, and the performance of an excellent body, man’s pursuit of other kinds of accomplishment, his equally strong desire for knowledge, and his insatiable curiosity, his pursuit of the ideal, often lead him into pathways that result in the body’s difficulties.

[...] They were dropped into the water, the realm of Ruburt’s fears, by a young man who represented an earlier self who thought success was a male prerogative. [...]

And not of the man himself, but of a difference between the man and yourself. [...] When he is alone, however, with the older man, any characteristic of his that does not agree with yours becomes threatening to him. [...]

[...] He is frightened of an older man. [...]

[...] It is not just, again, that man does not live by bread alone, but that his life is intimately bound up with his need for creative expression—his need to develop as an individual, and therefore to affect his world. [...]

[...] The Freudian, Darwinian dictates quite emphatically degrade man’s capacity for “greatness,” for heroic action in those terms, and greatly devalue the entire meaning connected with an individual self. [...]

The Jesuit (Bill) thinks strongly how computers could change the islands and discusses this with some heat or enthusiasm with another man, I believe, who wears a gray or white jacket and a sporty hat.

(“Bill discussed this with a man we met, but he didn’t wear a coat or hat.”)

(Pause.) Your father’s sentence—the paper-bag reference—was one he actually made in his own mind, in the life that you actually knew him in, and he considered that sons rather than daughters represented his one physical triumph —that is, he believed sons preferable, and they alone compensated for a working man’s life—a life he felt did not befit him. [...]

Each son became the man he could not be. [...]

A rich man who tries to be poor for a day to learn what poverty is learns little, because he cannot forget the wealth that is available to him. Though he eats the same poor fare as the poor man, and lives in the same poor house for a day — or for a year or five years — he knows he has his mansion to return to. [...]

[...] A man walked out into the street and was killed by a falling brick. [...]

Man, staying within the core of his arbitrarily designated selfhood, can in truth be compared to early physical man, cowering within his cave. [...]

The isolated self, as you know it, can indeed be well compared to man’s early caves. In terms of value fulfillment the species expanded its potential tremendously when it left the caves; and so will man also experience the fulfillment of still unglimpsed potentialities when he walks forth from the cave of the arbitrarily limited self.

[...] However, man has relied upon them so long, and with such cringing dependence, that now they threaten to hamper his own growth and development.

This extension of self will occur in some degree before any really effective brotherhood of man is accomplished. [...]

(9:54.) Natural disasters possess the great rousing energy of powers unleashed, of nature escaping man’s discipline, and by their very characteristics also remind man of his own psyche; for in their way such profound events always involve creativity being born, rising even from the bowels of the earth, reshaping the land and the lives of men.

Individual reactions follow this innate knowledge, for while man fears the unleashed power of nature and tries to protect himself from it, he revels in it and identifies with it at the same time. (Pause.) The more “civilized” man becomes, the more his social structures and practices separate him from intimate relationship with nature — and the more natural catastrophes there will be, because underneath he senses his great need for identification with nature; he will himself conjure it into earthquakes, tornadoes, and floods, so that he can once again feel not only their energy but his own.

(Pause.) As nothing else can, a great encounter with the full energy of the elements puts man face to face with the incredible potency from which he springs.
