[...] But inherent in the spider, as in man, is the complete comprehension of the universe as a whole.”

[...] A gray-haired man telling a story, with a red sweater or shirt, speaking to the Jesuit. [...]

[...] This interpretation results in one man and one woman hearing the tape, versus Seth’s mentioning of two men and a woman.)

[...] I am an old man. [...] I have been a young man, a young girl, a mother, a father, a son. [...]

[...] I see a large, sort of beefy man with a red face, sitting at a piece of furniture like a drafting table, carefully cutting out these characters. [...]

[...] This man had several apprentices, and he was a real artisan, putting ideas across in the form of movable type. [...]

[...] You have been twice as upset over your own fears because you are a man, and think that a man should be free of them. [...]

Your father cut out his own world, you felt, in his house and in the wilderness, comparatively speaking, but at the same time because you feared him so you did not really feel he wanted you to do the same no matter what he said—because to prove yourself a better man would automatically destroy him.

(The experience gave rise to a couple of questions which I added to the list for Chapter Twenty: 1. My own projection was so enjoyable, but more importantly contained so many potentials, that I wonder why Western man isn’t more aware of these abilities. [...]

Now in answer to your questions: Western man has chosen to focus his energy outward and largely ignore inner realities. [...]

[...] Man learns, you see, that inner reality and outer reality both must be understood and used constructively.

“The table beside Ruburt senses him even as Ruburt senses the table … The abilities of the tree are latent in man as, dear Joseph, are the abilities of man latent in the tree.”

Now you think of dogs as friends of man, and you personify gods in human terms. [...]

The cautions are natural enough under the restrictions man usually places upon consciousness. [...]

Earlier I mentioned fire, which was intellectually grasped by man and therefore materialized in the world of matter. [...] Man was not able to see fire earlier in terms of beneficial warmth or comfort. [...]

Every man dreams. [...]

You, any man, participates in more varied perspectives than he knows consciously, and appears in one way or another in more dimensions than he knows. [...]

(“A note from a man in connection with an achievement.” Jane said she believed she meant to say woman here instead of man, and that this data is another oblique reference to the connection of my boss with the source of the envelope object. [...]

[...] A note from a man in connection with an achievement.

The initial grave association was meant to lead Ruburt to your place of work, since in another experiment the test item was connected with a man who had died.

[...] A man’s expectations are the result of his emotional heritage, and his own ability to understand and manipulate that heritage.

[...] There is no law, however, stating that a man cannot instead throw these blocks to the winds and hope that when they fall down they might possibly fall into a castle.

If a man wants to change his fate, desire is not enough, but expectation is. [...]

If another man, for example, does not believe that artistic talent of high degree cannot exist side by side with wealth, then your truth is not his truth, and he is not threatened by wealth, nor is his ability.

[...] We have spoken of probable man, hinted at probable civilizations, and mentioned alternate systems of actuality.² Yet these do not exist completely apart from the world that you know, or entirely cut off from the psyche. [...]

[...] If you are a man, you might be ashamed of what you consider to be your need.

[...] A young man I will call Joe wrote Ruburt a letter. [...]

2. Seth discussed probable man and probable civilizations, and mentioned alternate systems of actuality, in various portions of Volume 1. See the 687th session (which bridges sections 1 and 2), for instance, and Appendix 6 for that session.

A man who has an ulcer, Joseph, he thinks differently than a man who does not have an ulcer. [...]

[...] It is because the man thinks differently that he has the ulcer, for the ulcer is the result of his characteristic method of thought. [...]

The point would not be nearly as clearly made, you see, were the victim a man giving himself to crime. [...]

[...] Perhaps of a man 36 or thereabouts.

The man Ruburt thinks of with the funny eyes is a fairly good portrait of the artist I told you of. [...]

(Here Seth refers to a portrait I am working on without a model, of a bald man with rather young features. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) There is another man standing up. [...] One man has a watch on a chain.

[...] This is the first time they have done so during such an experiment.) A picture of some kind—an image of another man, rather than the thing itself.

[...] Connection with a tall man. [...]

(“Connection with a tall man.” [...]

[...] I was getting out of a car, with a man, and we were on our way toward a house in which a healer or physician lived. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The young man who came here described in some detail the way in which LSD is used in therapy work with patients. [...]

[...] According to Seth, Emerson is one of the “Speakers” — personalities who, both in the physical state and out of it, speak to man through the ages, reminding him of inner knowledge so that it is never really forgotten. [...]

(9:30.) In the beginning there were also species of various other kinds: combinations of man-animal and animal-man, and many other “crossbreed” species, some of fairly long duration in your terms. [...]

[...] They reminded man of his past. They were ancient the first time the first man chanted, or the first circle was formed.

[...] You stress the importance of sexual identification, for it seems to you that a young child must know that it will grow up to be a man or woman, in the most precise of terms — (louder) toeing the line in the least particular.
