[...] At 8 PM Jane began to clean up after her baking marathon in the event there was a session, although she wasn’t sure there would be one. [...]

It is obvious not only that Ruburt is improving but that one important area of the body has begun to clear itself to a large degree. [...]

[...] Instead of fresh (so-called)commercial tomatoes, however, use canned ones for him. [...]

One brief remark: A rosé wine, rather than your Pisano.

[...] Both look outward — in one case away from the physical body, and in the other case away from the inner psyche to the environment.

These are not physical children at the mercy of time and the elements, but eternal ones, more knowledgeable than the parent; gods springing from the human psyche, half-human, half-divine. [...]

PART ONE

[...] The unknown reality is the source for the known one. [...]

[...] A man or woman who is ready to die, if saved from one disease will promptly get another, or find a way of fulfilling that desire. [...]

[...] (A one-minute pause.) As the physical planets move in order while being individual, so there can be a social order that is based upon the integrity of the individual. [...]

(Now, once again, Jane walked over to our couch and perched on one arm of it, as she has done during each of the last few sessions. [...]

You have not introduced yourself to the woman who is your wife in one important manner. [...]

[...] I for one intend to enjoy myself; and you, young man, have been given the best advice of your lifetime, if I do say so myself.

[...] The feeling was different and quite definite; the pressure of one ankle upon the other being unmistakable.

[...] It would depend upon what terms one chose within which to view the situation.

[...] The bible that you recognize — or that is recognized — is not the first, however, but was compiled from several earlier ones as man tried to look back, so to speak, and recount his past and predict his future.

[...] Now that was one sequence. [...]

[...] Her Seth voice was deeper than her usual voice to some extent, but it wasn’t loud, and I was sure no one would notice anything unusual sound-wise from the hall outside the closed door of room 330. [...]

(A note added the next morning: I was especially pleased to hear Seth talk of redemption, for that’s one of the main themes I tried to explore in the essays for Dreams—redemption on many levels, even though we may not grasp what’s transpiring on a number of those levels. [...]

They all use tools of one kind or another, and live indeed in close concord with the animals. [...]

[...] Those senses possess their own variances, so that without any word such as “now” or “then,” the creatures are able to know quite accurately how many living creatures are in the vicinity, how long they have been there (pause) — and their experience with time is one that follows the seasons in such a way that they have formed a wordless, fairly accurate picture of the world, including navigational direction.

At the same time, young children in particular still possess a feeling of oneness with the universe, and with all of life, even as they begin to separate themselves at certain levels from life’s wholeness to go about the delightful task. Seeing themselves as separate and apart from all other individuals, they still retain an inner comprehension and a memory of having once experienced a oneness with life as a whole.

In one way the self represents what you shall be, in your time terms, represents your highest potential. [...]

[...] The ego, while always changing, is one of the most rigid aspects of identity. [...]

[...] The dream had given me “true information,” then—a forewarning, if one wants to take it that way. [...]

[...] The ones advertised to combat stress in particular can at this time act as certain cushions. [...]

[...] That sort of thing when you use physical suggestions, rather than the use of words that seem like absolutes, where comparisons are involved almost automatically between a given situation and a desired one.

[...] Now this is his projection, and one he only realized at break: he felt that any incomplete manuscripts were indications of a waste of time, and that you thought he should publish everything he wrote, and that an unpublished manuscript was a blot of sorts. [...]

[...] He had felt relatively in control, business-wise, used to dealing directly, and this is one of the reason why he and Tam work together intuitively and business-wise so well.

All of the decisions he made, finally, were good ones from all viewpoints. [...]

The book will definitely be a success, and a financial one, that will represent his initiation into a field to which he will contribute in no small manner. [...] The reasons are fairly simple, for this field is one in which Ruburt’s innermost energies and interests are already rooted.

(“There’s one for you.”)

[...] The object in question is one that Jane’s friend, Peggy Gallagher, is carrying about with her in her handbag. [...]

[...] It was indeed a healing one, when he was dealing with the plasticity of events, and bringing those he wanted into better focus, by consciously drawing upon his own larger creative abilities. [...]

As to Ruburt: it is because the legs are loosening that he cannot sometimes count upon their remaining in one position when he walks. [...]

[...] There is also another connection here, and a rather amusing one. [...]

[...] He knows which ones. [...]

[...] He has added a suggestion to that effect that is a good one.

[...] I started fooling with the mail thinking the day might be one of rest for both of us. [...]

[...] No matter how much you see someone on that TV set strain to throw a ball, kick one, or run or lift a weight, you can be sure it’s within their physical capacity. [...]
