Each woman, child and man

As of now they are not married, and the woman is giving more than the man. [...]

[...] Psychic gates are closed by parents and fences set up around the self, closing out many important possibilities of growth and fulfillment; these barriers must be broken; as man’s conception of himself enlarges so will his actual capabilities and possibilities be extended. [...]

[...] Artists of any kind find such an approach the least friendly, for it directly contradicts the vast thrust of man’s creativity in several important areas. [...]

“Floyd Waterman represents someone who has a connection with living animals in the present [on his farm], and connects the times in the dream, since he also is in the construction business and does carpentry work —and the man who owned the deer was a carpenter. [...]

(Sessions 12 through 15 are briefly quoted in Note 4 for the 680th session, in Volume 1; Seth remarked upon the impossibility of closed systems, his own senses [including something of their limits], his ability to visit other “planes” of reality, and his “incipient” man’s form.

[...] He was very outspoken — yet his material came through with a much lighter touch than these printed words alone can indicate:) … Ruburt’s voice sounds rather dreary in this transitional phase, [yet] the one thing that pleases me immensely is the way he can translate at least a few of my humorous remarks and the inflections of my natural speech … As a man’s voice I fear he will sound rather unmelodious. [...]

(From the 82nd session for August 27, 1964:) When man realizes that he creates his own image now, he will not find it so startling to believe that he creates other images in other times. [...]

(From the 83rd session for August 31, 1964:) Man sees not even half of the whole entity which is himself. [...]

Painting and poetry, cleaning the house, seeing the tax man, doing chores —these are all expressions of being. [...]

[...] 1631 and a landing from Portugal, and also a man named Scott.

[...] But every man has a strong, domineering and definite voice in his own destiny, and he accepts and reacts to those influences of his own choosing.

[...] Early man’s identification with the natural world so led him to feel a part of it that he did experience a kind of being-with the universe in a personal manner or context. [...]

(We also discussed a letter Jane had received today from a young man who’d visited us unannounced a couple of months ago; he thinks he’s being bugged by nasty voices from outer space; before that he’d insisted that Seth was speaking through him. [...]

Poett and the photographer, however, believe the same; only they regard “spookiness” and strangeness as highly commendable qualities that contrast with what they think of as the blandness of the common man.

[...] The letter to or from another man, perhaps in his late fifties, and in another area of the country. [...]

[...] Discussing this subject, Jane mentions that fire helped primitive man “keep the beasts away,” etc.

[...] Now one of these shifts may also concern a young man, he will either suddenly leave or it will be a young man suddenly arriving on the scene. [...]

I did indeed, and the young man who took them.

[...] That point released man’s creativity. [...]

No man will die simply because a physician tells him he is going to, however. [...]

It is not simply that some weak electrical force exists within the physical body, but that a portion of the physical body has its actual existence within a strong force field; that the whole physical body has counterparts, so to speak, within this force field, and that so far man has discovered only the comparatively weak electrical charges of one particular kind in general, that most obviously protrudes into the physical universe.

Within your system however, color, to man, is more important than shape, though this is not true with all species in your system. [...]

Dreams are a language of the psyche, in which man’s nature merges in time and out of it. [...]
