[...] Ruburt should try on these nights one of his methods as he falls asleep, and if that does not succeed, tell him to use the other methods that he knows from the dream state.

[...] Ruburt already knows how to leave the body, using several methods from the sleep state and immediately before it.

These methods will suffice. [...]

This method simplifies things for you, since on those two nights you need only tell yourself that you will listen for Ruburt’s call. [...]

The more intense your imagination and inner experience, therefore, the more important it is that you realize the methods by which this inner experience becomes physically real. [...]

[...] I want it known, however, that thoughts and emotions are formed into physical matter by very definite methods and through laws quite valid, though they may be presently unknown.

[...] While the psychic reality behind physical matter is ignored, then you cannot use those methods effectively that do exist, nor can you take advantage of them. [...]

[...] The conflict—when it was touched off you see by the need to make more money again—the conflict resulted from what would appear to be two methods of making money. One method he felt was highly favored by you, and by far it seemed the most dependable, and he chose it.

The method, a job, now became unacceptable. But only the method. [...]

The need for money, and the fear of being dependent then, led him to seek money through a method which, once acceptable, was now highly and critically unacceptable for the reasons given.

[...] [Briefly for those who have asked me: The pendulum is a very old method. [...]

[...] The pendulum would be a method of allowing you to view conscious material that is not structured to recognized beliefs. [...]

The conflicting beliefs, then, cause the difficulty in the method. [...]

[...] So the method becomes involved with your beliefs.

[...] The various methods simply focus all of your concentration upon a specific area, shutting out any distractions.

[...] Hypnosis, used properly without the mumbo jumbo usually assigned to it, is an excellent method of inserting new beliefs and getting rid of old ones. [...]

It is of greatest importance that you realize several points before you try the method I suggest.

(Pause at 10:42.) We are going to deal with practical methods that will allow you to alter beliefs and change your experience. [...]

If your purpose is to comprehend what other living creatures perceive, then the methods you are using are at the best shortsighted, and at the worst they completely defeat your purpose. For example: No matter what information or data you receive as the result of animal experimentation or dissection for scientific purposes, and no matter how valuable the results appear to be, the consequences of such methods are so distorted that you comprehend less of life than you did before.

[...] That particular overall method of separation leads to such questions as: “Which species came first, and which came later, and how did the various species emerge — one from the other?” Those questions are further brought about by your time classifications, without which they would be meaningless.

Your present methods will simply bring you pat, manufactured results and answers. [...]

(In other words, when I tell her to live in the pleasurable aspects of a moment, I don’t mean for her to use this as a method of sweeping unpleasantness under the rug, etc.)

(“Well, in discussing this with him I was concerned lest he use the method to hide things.”)

[...] Words are methods of expression. [...]

[...] Since the mechanisms of normal speech are so little known to you on a conscious level, then it is not surprising that you are equally unaware of more complicated tasks that you also perform — such as the constant creation of your physical environment as a method of communication and expression.

[...] When he sees it as a method of his own expression, he will realize his own creativeness.

These methods themselves will vary. [...] The methods by which it manifests itself also vary. Certain characteristics however belong to reality regardless of the very methods and the various manifestations.

[...] (Jane briefly picked up the material mentioned before the start of the session.) Since you are naturally interested in your own physical system, we will deal thoroughly with the methods by which reality turns itself into camouflage. Also, we will deal with other methods to be used by you, that will allow you to perceive more clearly the basic nature of reality (pause), in quotes “showing through” physical camouflage. [...]

[...] That is, certain characteristics belong to reality, regardless of the methods by which it brings itself forth.

[...] My methods however obviously are not working now, so it becomes necessary that I communicate with you.

My methods have not brought about what I wanted, however. [...]

[...] Unfortunately there were side effects from my methods, that make Ruburt’s condition an impediment to the very plans I want.

[...] On his own, in other words, he picked up negative habits, apparently as a side effect of my methods.

Later on we will indeed discuss various methods of healing, conventional and unconventional. [...]

[...] It is actually far more important that we stress the symptoms of health and those methods, beliefs, and healings that promote them.

[...] There are methods that can be used to discover how different species migrate, for example, and then to duplicate such feats technologically if you want to. These methods do not include dissection, for what you learn that way you will not be able to use (deeper and much louder).

[...] There were pictures drawn of cellular structures long before any technological methods of seeing them were available, in your terms.

[...] Only now are you beginning to question your methods, and even your questions.⁵ The true physicist would be able to ask his questions from his usual state of consciousness, and then turn that consciousness in other directions where he himself would be led into adventures-with-reality, in which the questions would themselves be changed. [...]

Now: Even in your terms of history and serial time, as a race you have tried various methods of dealing with the physical world.⁶ In this latest venture you are discovering that exterior manipulation is not enough, that technology alone is not “the answer.” [...]

[...] Our own envelope tests not only demonstrated ESP but also offered evocative glimpses into the methods by which such information is received.

[...] For one thing, Seth followed this procedure with us, and it is the method I use to lead my students into dream reality. [...]

[...] The methods are not new, though we had never heard of them at the time. [...]

This method is really easy and workable — but it can be sabotaged. [...]

You did not want Ruburt sick, but you did want brakes applied, and he chose the method. He chose the method for various reasons, from his experience. [...]

[...] He felt therefore that you did approve of the overall idea, if not particularly the methods. [...]

Because of his own characteristic method he used them, the means, in his way differently than you did.

Again, the particular methods given in the book are excellent, as applied processes to release your abilities. [...] Once more, those methods would not have worked for you in the past.

[...] The author does not realize how much is necessary before his methods will have the effect that he expects. [...]

[...] The author you see does not completely understand the work that must be done in this respect before his methods will have great value. [...]

If this strikes you as too intellectual a method, then you can also work backward from your emotions to your beliefs. In any case, regardless of which method you choose, one will lead you to the other. [...]

Dictation: Ruburt did receive some information from me, by using another method. [...]

[...] In this area, as in all others, those of you who are proficient verbally might use the method of writing. [...]

[...] These methods release your withheld natural aggressiveness. [...]

It uses illness as a teaching method, and discards the method when the lesson is learned. [...]

[...] It chooses the best method it can to aid in overall development.

Here the lesson has been learned and the illness as a method discarded.

[...] It has solved one problem and decided to use the method to solve another, or it has decided that from its particular vantage point it would rather close the books and begin anew.

[...] It has been during the annals of history, but many of those fashions also indisputably, and with the best of intentions, managed to give a faulty picture: you ended up with your gods and demons, unwieldy methods and cults, and often with the intellect downgraded. [...]

[...] Theoretically at least, the magical approach should be used because it represents the most harmonious method of life (underlined). [...]

[...] The methods, the ways, the beliefs, the modes of travel to a destination create the destination itself. [...]

[...] My methods are my methods, and I do not believe in shortcuts. However, shortcuts are taken, and I have no disagreement with the methods of others. [...]

[...] It is an easy road, and my methods are not easy. [...]

[...] The demonstrations involve an expansion of abilities and of methods, methods of teaching and methods of involving others also.
