[...] If you discover that you feel unworthy, then do not simply try to apply a more positive belief over that one. [...]

(10:01.) Any help that you give to others will come through the creative utilization of your own characteristics and no one else’s. Do not get upset with yourself when you find yourself dwelling on negative issues in your life. [...]

Have a sense of humor about yourself — not a malicious one but a kindly humorous regard for yourself. [...]

[...] They are not mysterious. You may find that many served good purposes at one time, and that they have simply been overemphasized. [...]

[...] The call was a follow-up to a long-distance one she’d taken shortly after supper tonight, and concerned a missing person and a government agency. No other details need be given here, except to say that the case was a complex one.

(Neither Jane nor I could remember what last Thursday’s session was about, and I had but one page of it typed from my notes — a situation quite similar to that prevailing before the last session. [...]

At one time there were also species of birds, however, with high intelligence — this before the period mentioned earlier.² They were not humanoid; not, for example, people with wings. [...]

[...] You merely focus upon the one to which you are oriented. [...]

[...] See that he does not concentrate on the old ones, while however recognizing them, and encourage him in his ability to insert the new ones. [...]

[...] There is no separation, of course, only a seeming one, for again, the mind’s conscious processes are spontaneous, and the body’s instincts are highly disciplined, so there is no need to vacillate between one side of the question or the other.

—and simply occurred as old balances were broken down, and new ones established.

[...] Your paintings now, and your best ones, you see, will evolve as a result of the psychic understanding you are learning. [...]

(Pause.) Your father’s sentence—the paper-bag reference—was one he actually made in his own mind, in the life that you actually knew him in, and he considered that sons rather than daughters represented his one physical triumph —that is, he believed sons preferable, and they alone compensated for a working man’s life—a life he felt did not befit him. [...]

In dreams you can recognize yourself even though the usual space and time references may be quite different than the ones with which you are familiar in the waking state. [...]

(“Just one, about the dream. [...]

[...] She was very surprised — and so was I. At first, Jane said, she interpreted her information [from Seth?] to mean that I would be writing a chapter with that title for one of her own books. [...]

[...] This work can be followed by one utilizing sessions concerned with art mainly but covering some other artistic areas as well, such as the nature and origin of inspirations.

[...] The title is a good one and the book will sell. [...]

[...] I will not tell you in what particular way this sneaks by some of your problems now, or which ones are involved. [...]

[...] One of the main differences between you and the animals, and one of the significant meanings in terms of free will, is involved here.

[...] In a natural situation, this might involve a mass migration from one territory to another. [...]

(This was one of those times when she was consciously aware that several channels of information were available from Seth. [...]

[...] An entire tribe could be endangered by one sick member. [...]

[...] But the voice was a good one, the best in many sessions. [...]

[...] This is one of the main reasons why such projections happen rarely. [...]

[...] On the one hand the chemical excess is built up as a result of overintensity. [...]

Energy is most easily utilized in this position, for one thing, and this cuts unnecessary restrictions to a minimum. [...]

[...] Nor is there a succession of moments that follow one after the other; and without a succession of moments following one after the other you can see that the idea of cause and effect becomes meaningless. [...]

Any time, any one time, that you can behave in a manner that suggests that one of your cherished limited laws of the universe does not exist, then you can be certain that the so-called law does not exist, at least not in any basic manner.

The idea of past, present and future is a necessary one on your plane, but this certainly does not mean that time exists in the manner which you suppose. [...]

Order is one of the most basic attributes of all reality, and order is an inherent attribute in all things. [...]

[...] If that were the case, it would take more than a world-sized globe to contain the consciousness of simply one cell.

[...] Inner events are stressed over exterior ones. [...]

Such plans are not considered insane ones—though in the deepest meaning of that word, they are indeed. [...]

[...] Otherwise, you could become locked into a rigid conscious stance, one in which both the imagination and the intellect could advance no further. [...]

[...] I was aware of each one, but after I came out of the first one I felt something else was involved, but I’m not sure what. [...]

(9:24.) You should understand that the approach is the best one to use in life, generally speaking, but it will improve all conditions, even if you still have difficulties in certain areas (pause), and that its use cannot help but promote the overall quality of your lives. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37.) In a fashion, all of the material that I have given you in the annals of our relationship was meant to lead you in one way or another to a place where the true nature of reality could at least be glimpsed. [...]

[...] (Over a one-minute pause.) It is impossible for you to operate without beliefs in your present mode of existence (another minute), “for beyond” those glittering packages of beliefs, however, there exists the vast reservoir of sensation itself, the land that does indeed exist “beyond beliefs.” [...]

[...] Rationalization is one method by which the ego justifies its acceptance of a reaction which it once rejected as ineffective.

[...] If the ego is not a particularly strong one to begin with however, the conflict will seldom reach these proportions. [...]

When the ego is a very rigid one however, it will not accept the reality of these rejected patterns so easily, and according to the nature of its rigidity it may restrict so many areas of activity that the inside action, or the inside impetus for expression, almost equally balances the ego force itself.

[...] A lack of communication between the ego and the inner self is obviously one of the main causes for such difficulties.

[...] It’s the first one since December 6, 1978. [...]

(For the record: “Uknown,” it seems, appears to be one of those jobs that won’t go too smoothly, even though now we’re reaching the end of its cycle. [...]

[...] When we reach that state, I personally find myself thinking that the sessions make little difference one way or the other. [...]

One: I will approve of myself, my characteristics, my abilities, my likes and my dislikes, my inclinations and disinclinations, realizing that these form my unique individuality. [...]

[...] I guess it’s supposed to mark a milestone in one’s life — especially that of the male of the species — but I have no plans to retire, quit working, or give up the creative life. [...]

[...] I also blew out all of the candles on the cake — perhaps 25 of them — in one breath, which I don’t think staff expected I could do.

Before we continue, I would like to remind the reader that in the middle of these or any of the other problems we have been discussing, there may be a period of depression, or the feeling that one’s own problem has no solution after all.

Some of the most complicated ways of trying to put conflicting beliefs together are often mental or emotional ones. [...]

(I was one of six honorary pallbearers. [...]

[...] A priest gave a short talk at the funeral home, leading it off, maybe for shock value, by telling us that sooner or later every one of us would experience the same thing Joe Bumbalo had. [...]

(I could see how each move of the burial process had been carefully evolved to help the bereaved family separate from the one who had died. [...]

(The priest in charge — there were three of them — said that Joe had planned much of the service himself, and that Joe had asked him: “Why are the good ones taken?” The priest enlarged the question to: “Why is anyone taken?”

An identity can appear, be perceived in more than one place, but in such a case there is but one identity being viewed from many perspectives.

[...] I would suggest that Ruburt set aside one day a week for the marketing of his own manuscripts.

[...] For this energy is never still, and it goes without saying that no electrical impulse is stable from one instant of reality to the next. [...]

An identity is by definition and nature, one.

One or two excellent self-hypnosis sessions a week will speed up complete release of symptoms. [...]

[...] The ones I have given are quite sufficient, if they are followed.

It would perhaps help if at least one window is open during Ruburt’s exercise period.

When Ruburt replaces the bedsheets, I suggest colored ones. [...]

(Jane did not feel much like having a session; she finally decided to hold one at 9 PM, and of course I left the decision up to her. [...]

Looking into your system, into your physical system, to us is like looking through one (pause), of innumerable windows.

[...] To us one is as real as the other. [...]

[...] Although both of your realities are physical ones, the environments are entirely different. [...]

[...] The problem is somewhat one of definition and understanding.

[...] In one way the spontaneous self used the church as long as it could, as an outlet for its own rich emotional extension. [...]

Aspects from the past were grossly exaggerated, and any normal sensitivity highly intensified by one portion of the personality or the other. [...]

[...] Spontaneously the personality always felt at one with All That Is. [...]
