“I feel sometimes as if I am expected to justify life’s conditions, when of course they do not need any such justification.”

(No need to go into all the events that seemed to coalesce today—this morning especially, since it’s all on file. [...] All of these events followed the barrage of letters I’ve been sending out, trying to unearth something, some treatment, some magical potion or truth or belief that would help my wife in her time of deep need. [...]

[...] While he experienced you, as given much earlier in the sessions, as cautionary and repressive, then he did not need the symptoms. [...]

[...] To do this he felt he needed to exert caution, to emphasize his own doubts in order to make a bridge to those intellectuals who doubted, and yet maintain some freedom and spontaneity in order to reach those at the other end.

You need not rip yourselves apart to feel this kinship. [...]

[...] You need to realize that you are (Vera) completely free to so change your position. [...]

[...] For whatever mysterious reasons, then, our overall consciousness wants and needs this particular “genetic culture.” [...]

[...] The information is alive (intently). We are speaking about a kind of biological cuneiform, in which the structures, the very physical structures, of the cells contain all of the knowledge needed to form a physical body—to form themselves. [...]

(Long pause.) I am not simply saying that genetic activity can be changed, for example, through something like a nuclear accident, but that highly beneficial alterations can also take place in genetic behavior, as in your terms the genetic structure not only prepares the species for any contingency, but also prepares it by triggering those characteristics and abilities that are needed by the species at any given time, and also by making allowances for such future developments (all quite forcefully).

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. [...]

[...] Ruburt does need a return to an earlier orientation. [...] He needs an orientation toward the simpler issues—those that carry within themselves a simpler childlike magic. He needs to turn away from an overconcern with life’s more ‘“weighty problems,” to lose the feeling that it is up to him to solve those problems for himself and you and for the world. [...]

[...] Learning about our abilities and capabilities is a social and cultural affair, and you—anyone—need help. [...]

[...] They do not need the spoken word. Even thought communication however need not necessarily follow the form of words. [...]

[...] Without it, they are not needed. [...]

[...] Those who have left and survive, use thoughtwords but do not need to speak, though they may (underlined). [...]

You do not need to be consciously familiar with all the details connected with Ruburt’s condition in order for him to heal himself. [...]

He does need to be generally aware of his own beliefs, however. [...]

[...] I do not want to anticipate such communications, because Ruburt needs the direct encounter, so to speak. [...]

His body is relaxing because it needs to, and he is finally allowing it. [...] People who celebrate do not need prescriptions. [...]

(Long pause.) Beside this, he felt that such a performance would alter the direction his work would take in ways that would be detrimental overall, for the broadening quality of that kind of discourse could only be as extensive in scope as the quality of his audience’s understanding, so that the material might become too tailored to public need or consumption—tied up in answering conventional questions—an excellent point, by the way. [...]

[...] He did not need to look for a reason for nature’s destructive aspects, for he knew through experience the great sweep of its vitality. [...]

[...] You need not pit yourselves then against what you think of as a society that does not understand you, for that society falls into place as simply being one present aspect of a vaster natural world in which you are indeed firmly rooted. [...]

[...] I will say nothing about the “fact” that you have not together studied the last session, or that Ruburt has not used the hot towels, for I do not need to. [...]

[...] You knew you were preparing yourself, but the time of preparation was extended beyond what it need have been. [...]

[...] You need the connection yet, you see, the bridge of the language across which the meaning of the language can come. [...]

Quite literally he felt no deep need for exercises before. [...]

[...] I should not need to tell you this: see yourselves enjoying yourselves, having a good time, even within the horrendous conditions as they exist. [...]

You do not need to imagine him arising with your flexibility, nor should he at this point, but you should each expect continued improvement, and gradations of ever-growing freedom of mobility. [...]

[...] If I am forceful this evening it is only because I want you to understand exactly in what areas work is needed. [...]

[...] The whole drama occurred as a result of mankind’s need. It was created as a result of that need, grew out of it, but it did not originate within your system of reality.

God was seen as cruel and powerful when man believed that these were desirable characteristics, needed particularly in his battle for physical survival. [...]

[...] There is a need in him for excitement, but because of the maturity of the personality, the excitement now must in some manner be purposeful.

[...] The excitement need not be physical, though it will find some reflection in physical terms. [...]

That, plus the need for money when you left Artistic, and the release from the fear, the belief, that welfare would take what he made. [...]

He has used it therefore as a counterpoint that he does not need. [...]

as if its joints needed oil….

[...] There is no need to prolong the images.

[...] The fact is that you were unable to give your dog the added vitality at a time when he needed it most. There is no need to blame yourselves. [...]

[...] Then you needed your energies for yourselves. [...]

[...] Your condition following this and your first exercise bout should show you how badly you were in need of the treatment. [...]

[...] Man needs artifical methods to operate effectively on land or in water, but the so-called unconscious tree manages nicely in two worlds as diverse, certainly, as land and water, and makes itself a part of each.

[...] During break John gave us some information; briefly, it has to do with his restlessness in his job, his wife’s reactions, his wife’s parents, his own strong need to assert his independence, etc. [...]

[...] He senses this subconscious need of hers however to hold him, and resents it vigorously. [...]

She fears, for one thing, that you could run the house more efficiently than she can, and basically that you do not need her. [...]

[...] She needs drama, within the framework of the home, and she wants this from you. [...]

[...] Not because he did not like the material, but because then, at least, he understood that for him (underlined) assembling it during his creative hours was not fulfilling his kind of creative need.

[...] You needed the money, he felt.

[...] So he need not feel that he has a responsibility to be a psychic healer, a clairvoyant, a medium, a psychic psychologist, and so forth, though he has the ability to be any of these.

[...] No one can be adequately (underlined) helped in one or two sessions, and it is not his responsibility, or mine, to answer personally the millions of people who need help, or even the relatively few who write him.
