[...] Structured hypnosis merely allows the subject to utilize full powers of concentration, thereby activating unconscious mechanisms.

[...] This simply means that you have consciously accepted them, focused upon them, excluded data to the contrary, narrowed your interests to those specific points, and accordingly activated the unconscious mechanisms that then materialize those convictions through physical experience.

[...] As far as his condition is concerned, its most pivotal aspects are being dealt with: the mechanics of walking and motion. [...] It is as if the springs or inner mechanics of motion had been tightly held back, so that as they are being relieved there is considerable inequality, unpredictable springing motion—a loosening here and a tightening there momentarily, as if before he had been too tightly wound (deliberately). [...]

[...] When such natural guilt is not faced there are other mechanisms that must be employed. [...]

[...] Natural guilt is a creative mechanism, meant to serve as a conscious spur in the solving of problems that, in your terms, no other animals ever had. [...]

[...] It’s not that she’s against that procedure — just that she’s much more interested in what she feels and does than she is in the mechanical records offered by the machine.

[...] Measuring and recording brain waves is a complicated task, however; not only is it important which areas or lobes of the brain are monitored — if not all of them — but because of the mechanical limitations of the EEG itself much that goes on in the brain is necessarily missed. [...]

The mechanics of transition therefore are highly variable, as the mechanics of physical life are highly variable. [...]

[...] Those who have learned to understand and operate in the mechanics of the dream state will have great advantage. [...]

That will help break the automatic mechanism, for we are here dealing with body beliefs now. [...]

AFTER-DEATH CHOICES AND THE
MECHANICS OF TRANSITION

And if my voice does not sound joyful when I speak of joy, it is simply a matter of mechanics. [...]

[...] Also because of the mechanics involved, I cannot dance like your Tiny Tim, “through the tulips.” [...]

[...] Biological cordellas then must be the source for physical languages, but the cordellas themselves arise from the psyche’s greater knowledge as it forms the physical mechanism to begin with.

[...] He still has the language of the flesh, and yet that language is only opaquely connected with the body’s mechanisms. [...]

[...] It does not exist, then—the genetic structure—like some highly complicated mechanism already programmed, started and functioning “blindly,” so that once it is set into operation there is no chance for modification.

Some people, in beginning such a venture, will indeed insist upon an excellent vessel, with the most sophisticated mechanisms, equipped with grand couches and a banquet room. [...]

I also believe, however, that generally speaking science still views our genetic systems in mechanical, deterministic, and reductionistic terms, and will continue to do so for a long time: So that evidence is being accumulated to support that overall view that at this time science has no need to seek for other, larger, and more unsettling frames of reference encompassing consciousness, intent, and genetics. [...]

[...] The very attempt to deprive an individual of sleep, however, will automatically set into mechanism subconscious dream activity. [...]

[...] You are not tampering with the mechanics of its operation, and therefore automatically altering the conditions.

[...] It is impossible to study dreams when an attempt is made to isolate the dreamer from his own personality, to treat dreams as if they were physical or mechanical. [...]

[...] It is a teaching mechanism—helping him with it is good, for it shows him that you think it is all right for him to relax and let go. [...]

[...] Not understanding yourself, you will be in a quandary, and the mechanics of experience will appear mysterious and capricious.

There are certain situations, however, in which those mechanics can be clearly seen, and so let us examine some such circumstances. [...]

[...] This is a matter of the mechanics. [...]

[...] I explained the mechanics of the voice. [...]

Are we biologically unable to perceive any of these events, or do we have psychological blind spots as defense mechanisms to prevent our being overwhelmed by reality as it actually is? [...]

[...] In fact, there would be no self to get out to begin with, since our consciousness would be the result of our body mechanisms. [...]

[...] The information is received and translated, as it must be, into mechanisms which the nervous system can handle and interpret. [...]

[...] The receiving mechanisms themselves change, and are changed by that which they perceive. [...]

[...] It must come through the available channels of the physical human mechanism in order that it be at all meaningful. [...]

Now were I to communicate with someone in that system, I would have to affect their sense mechanisms, and therefore the material would be delivered in a way, again, that would seem to distort it, and yet without the method it could not be given.

[...] When I was drafted during the second World War I was given aptitude tests; to my surprise I did well on mechanical subjects, and ended up as an airplane mechanic and instrument specialist in the Air Transport Command.)

[...] To our surprise the second tow and repair were free, the service manager telling us there was corrosion on the coil connections, and that the mechanic should have noticed this and corrected it the first time the car was in the garage.

[...] On the other hand you do have a rather deeply felt feeling for mechanical objects. [...]

[...] I could reconcile a mental voice as a valid and quite safe mechanism of the creative subconscious, as I liked to call it — but an image next to me in the kitchen while I did the dishes? [...]

Because you know that you breathe, without being consciously aware of the mechanics involved, you are forced to admit that you do your own breathing. [...]

It is convenient not to be consciously aware of each breath you take, but it is sheer stupidity to ignore the inner self which does the breathing and is aware of the mechanics involved. [...]

The mechanics of publishing have to come last. [...]

[...] The simple act of decision will then activate the unconscious mechanisms. [...]
