[...] You gave it more negative ones than Ruburt, but each of you felt it was all you could afford, and poor at that. The contrast between your last stay there, and that one, and in your relationship, was too obvious for comfort.

What was not said is this: he felt that no one with whom he had been intimately involved believed in him as a person, or trusted his intrinsic value, except for yourself. [...]

His mother, Father Ryan, Walter, some college friends, Mozet, Hays, all of those persons in one way or another implied strongly at times that he was either a saint or a devil, a creator or a destroyer. [...]

He was afraid to make a decision for fear that it would be the wrong one, and sometimes literally afraid to move for fear of making the wrong move, and earning your displeasure of disapproval.

[...] He did not trust one world or the other.

[...] His reach will be good one day and poor the next as certain muscles are stronger than others, and new balances are being set up. [...]

Again, some teeth are relatively loose, and one in particular. [...]

[...] The ones that he has are not severe ones, regarding the wisdom of your move for example, but are negative projections on his part.

[...] Special diets, at particular times, restricted ones, can be of benefit in certain specialized areas of development, but there is always the danger of going overboard.

[...] The Sumari language is one of these. [...] Now there are surprises in store for all of you including you (to Rob) and this one here (to Sue). [...]

[...] Use the language that you have even while you are learning a new one. [...]

[...] The inner and outer worlds are seen now as one. [...]

Have him read the last session again, with this one.

[...] There is however no one explanation that will serve, for there are many kinds of apparitions. [...]

Dream objects are secondary constructions, but very valid ones. [...]

[...] You act out many possibilities within dream reality, and within dreams you try out alternatives, and not necessarily short term ones.

In one such episode, for example, you followed through your present course to completion. [...]

[...] Your living experiences often gave you clues one way or another that added to the thematic material. [...]

[...] I consider such a disclaimer as a mildly amusing case in point: a living example—almost as if indeed you had requested one—a proof of the pudding. [...]

[...] Even when we do catch ourselves indulging, one might say, always in the backs of our minds lies the knowledge that, really, each of us creates our own reality, and are therefore participators in whatever events we may find ourselves enmeshed in—even those we dislike. [...]

[...] The level is one where every bit of preventative protection is needed in a world where people constantly need insurance, preventative medicine, and so forth – again, all issues dealt with in the book. [...]

Ruburt must make an attempt, and a good one, to express his feelings, positive and negative.

[...] He will not hurt you if you hurt him to retaliate, but he will escape, close himself off from further hurt, leaving a shell behind, an animated but empty one.

[...] Such a recourse, again, is only a desperate final one, but with his stubbornness it would be very final, and a means of self-defense.

[...] (One minute pause.)

[...] You must realize that you are one with All That Is, and within you is the only one who can give blessings, and you must be willing to accept the blessing that only you can give, and the joy that only you can give to yourselves and to one another. [...]

[...] Do you berate a flower that has one crooked stem? [...]

(As Rachel departed, she mentioned that the old saying that, “one can only be sure of two things—death and taxes,” is no longer true. [...]

[...] There never was any real division, but only a seeming one in which you played various roles, developed different abilities, learned to create in new and diverse ways. [...]

Such a teacher must be able to instruct various portions of one entity, in your terms, at the same time. [...]

[...] The amount of knowledge and training necessary makes such a teaching communicator-career extremely demanding, but it is one of the courses available. [...]

[...] One of their main preoccupations is to create beauty that impinges itself in as many various dimensions of reality as possible.

A small meeting this afternoon, with one older and one younger man. [...]

[...] The one who is at any given time free of such difficulty should indeed help the other when such occasions arise. You actually put yourself in a trance state, and the suggestions take strong hold; and they are rarely constructive ones at such times.

[...] And I am speaking here only of one individual, but such reactions are also picked up by others on a subconscious basis, and the circle can be a vicious one.

[...] I thought my reaction was a normal one, yet was angry at myself for reacting so strongly. [...]

Roarck knew him well during the period of the Inquisition, and again in an immediately-past life in the Midwest of your country, as well as in one other existence. Nevertheless, I welcome your new friend to the sessions, and he is one of those of whom I have spoken earlier.

[...] Nevertheless, no one will argue that a psychological experience has no validity. A psychological experience is so valid that it can change the course, not only of one life, but of many.

[...] For this reason, while he is still tempted to lead, he allows himself to lead only in small ways, not trusting yet the judgment which at one time betrayed him.

(Seth stated that Jim Tennant is one of the group he expects to gather around Jane and me. [...]

In such instances, an understanding of one’s beliefs, and a generation of newer, more biologically vital ones, will certainly serve to better the situation, and help relieve the condition.

One of the very first steps toward mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health is precisely that kind of abandonment, that kind of acceptance and affirmation.

This feeling of abandoning oneself to the power and force of one’s own life does not lead to a mental segregation, but instead allows the self to sense the part that it plays in the creative drama of a universe. [...]

[...] After Shawn took her temperature — 97.2 — Jane began reading her third session for the day — that of January 14 — and did even better on this one, fast and easy, I felt. [...]

[...] (Pause.) If any of you, my readers, are in poor health, or generally unhappy, no one is asking you to pretend that those conditions do not exist. [...]

(With a lilt:) End of Chapter One.

The interpretation you discussed is a good one. [...]

[...] (Pause.) The emergence of action within a time scheme is actually one of the most important developments connected with the beginning of your world.

[...] This immediately brought about the importance of choosing between one action and another, and made acts of decision highly important.

This time reference is perhaps the most important within earth experience, and the one that most influences all creatures. [...]

[...] Essentially, the individual would have no particular leaning toward any one action over any other (all with emphasis).

(Somewhat to my surprise Seth started Chapter Twenty-one this evening, but I soon realized that he wasn’t leaving our questions behind. [...]

The outer world is a reflection of the inner one, though far from perfect. [...]

[...] On the one hand, such individuals receive their unearthly abilities and power from their fellows, contain it, exhibit it in the physical world for all to see. [...]

[...] When the strength of one great religion begins to diminish and its physical effects grow less, then the internal drama begins once again to quicken. [...]

[...] In the most basic terms, there are different kinds of realities, but one is not more real or less real than the others.

This still is to say that the divine psychological fabric forms all individuality, naturally, spontaneously, and that you cannot have one without the other.

[...] No one was trying to run away, and in a way the murderer was performing a service. [...]

Now all of those issues, in one way or another appeared in your dream, where for the sake of understanding you became the victim. [...]

One of the most rare and extraordinary developments that can occur in schizophrenic behavior is the construction of a seeming superbeing of remarkable power — one who is able to convince other people of his divinity.

[...] The inceptions of almost all religions have been involved one way or another with these schizophrenic episodes.

[...] And maybe that stand was a good one, I thought, since it was definite. [...] I told Jane I thought the whole thing was one more piece of the puzzle falling into place—that above all I didn’t want her to worry, to just forget it. [...]

[...] In his own experience, he’s handled only one such case. [...]

[...] If anything impedes this natural smoothness and coordination (pause), then all aspects of expression are in one way or another impeded. [...]

The hospital, for all its healing intentions, is often a repressive institution rather than an expressive one. [...]

[...] I joked that we could ask for the title of his next one. [...]

[...] Your feelings, the repressed ones, will seem demonic. [...]

[...] Trust no one who leads you away from the reality of yourself. [...]

[...] There is no condition that you cannot change, except one indisputably physically accepted at birth within the realms of creaturehood, such as a liability in terms of a missing organ, or a functional lack.
