[...] The object, being a parody of a postage stamp, calls an envelope to mind.

[...] Possibly Leonard’s name arose here because of the earlier newspaper data which calls the Gallaghers to mind. [...]

[...] We do not know what symbolic meaning Seth may have had in mind.

[...] We will discuss the ways in which this can be encouraged, as well as the role of the conscious mind as the director of “the soul in chemical clothes.”

[...] In the remaining class excerpts, Seth answers questions that readers might also have in mind.

Science might admit that the novel idea itself was highly creative, an example of the mind at play as it used experience as a creative raw product — but of course you had your experience before you read the article. [...]

[...] Your mind intuitively organized all of that material, and put it together in a completely new fashion. [...]

Now left alone, the intellect will often solve problems in just such a fashion, when it is allowed to, when you forget what is supposed to be possible and what is not, when you forget that your mind is supposed to be pedestrian and parochial.

[...] I also thought we should somehow keep the session in mind, and not let it get lost in the files as the years pass — one of the reasons I want to use part of it in Dreams. [...]

[...] Second, if one keeps in mind Seth’s ideas about simultaneous time, that basically all happens at once [even considering Seth’s own acknowledgment that time “…is therefore still a reality of some kind to me”], then it hardly matters how long a break transpires between particular sessions; there is no real separation; dictation on any subject or project can be resumed whenever all involved — Jane, Seth, and myself — choose, and it will be as though the break never existed.

[...] Not with the impersonality of a computer, however, but with a loving intent that has your best purposes in mind — yours and also those of each other individual.

[...] But I’m presenting my effort as close as possible to its time of conception so that each interested person can keep it in mind, and eventually write his or her own version of it for personal use. [...]

[...] At the same time, she had a lot of material in mind from Seth—on the glass experience; a dream I’d had on August 1, in which I’d found her lying on the floor in the bathroom doorway; and a fairly strong earthquake that had struck south of San Francisco, California, this afternoon. [...]

I’ve always transferred my life to letters,
and one day it will reside
exclusively in written nouns and vowels,
clean paragraphs
distilled from mysterious life’s days.
Even before death’s event
I plan my mind’s resting place
as if there is a second life
in thought’s products that defies
the brain’s shorter span, and rises
sans blood, flesh, hand or eye,
self-contained, truly alive at last;
like some mental balloon
set on a safe course finally
through unexplored skies
when the hand that holds it
lets it go.

[...] Following this period there is an active state, that can occur, of pseudodreaming, where the mind busies itself with physical concerns that have managed to cling through the first two stages.

[...] What similarities are there that unite both photographs in your mind? [...] In your mind follow what directions that self would have taken, as you think of such events. [...]

[...] Then try to trace its emergence from the thread of your own past life as you understand it, and project outward in your mind what other events might emerge from that one to become action in your probable future. [...]

[...] The one that comes to mind right now, though there were others, concerns the three-dollar cab fare, which they considered too high, and the right- hand turn, all of which were given here, and which proved out exactly.

[...] Self-suggestion may be most beneficial when possible, when used to put you in this more intuitive frame of mind. [...]

the rocky thoughts of my mind,

[...] The very way his notes are written also shows his state of mind, his careful attitude and critical manner. [...]

When Seth took over, his confidence knocked all other ideas or doubts from my mind. [...]

[...] I’m also of the opinion that small ritual tends to emphasize data in the mind, and set it off to advantage, in the same way that good cuisine is set off by fine dishes. [...]

I was already beginning to study my own psychological behavior, though, and the question of Seth’s independent reality came more and more into my mind. [...]

[...] Just now, reading a letter from the editor of an occult journal I found myself mentally responding in James vein, saying: I am somewhat judicious, and therefore waited before responding”—and suddenly I saw—that I WAS SOMEWHAT JUDICIOUS—I AM SOMEWHAT JUDICIOUS and in my mind I’ve thought that I was if anything overly spontaneous and therefore to be watched lest my spontaneity contradict my “reason” as if on my own I had no “judiciousness”—and not seeing in fact that the symptoms were the result of —over-judiciousness.
