[...] The in-between existence, therefore, is every bit as important as the period that is chosen. [...] You also make friends and acquaintances in these rest periods whom you meet again and again — and only, perhaps, during in-between existences.

[...] In this in-between period of which I am speaking, many issues therefore are considered.

[...] There are those who are simply loners, who reincarnate without any great feeling for earth’s historical periods. [...]

[...] There is a connection here sexually with the giving-into emotion, period, in a bodily fashion.

Before the day begins with work Ruburt should take a few moments, as he has done in periods of improvement, to dedicate himself to a creative and expressive day. [...]

[...] Such periods will then diminish. [...]

[...] Upon it he had summarized the data Seth had given him about his professional life over a period of several years, and the ways in which it had, or had not, worked out. [...]

[...] For example, there is an initial stage for those who are still focused strongly in physical reality, and for those who need a period of recuperation and rest. [...]

(9:32.) Now, many individuals do not need to pass through this particular period. [...]

[...] Period. (More fireworks at 8:46, but Seth wasn’t bothered.) These periods involve accelerations, sensed while they may still be invisible, and it is this kind of period that you have just now entered into. [...]

[...] She was restless and quite nervous, lapsing—for the first time—into periods of what approached a sleep state. [...]

[...] Such periods happen often in a lifetime, of course—such intersections into probable realities, where you suddenly feel that the time is particularly right, or can be, regardless of the desperation or need or sometimes precisely because of it. [...]

There are rhythms he is following, periods of muscular release, in which first he feels somewhat lethargic. These are followed, as over the weekend, by periods in which he feels like physical activity, and begins to strengthen the muscles.

[...] The sleeping periods have become times of accelerated healing. [...]

[...] Following your own rhythm, longer or shorter periods will naturally ensue. [...] Generally speaking, eight-hour sleep periods, or longer ones, are not beneficial, nor in larger terms are they natural for the race.

(11:37.) There is a give-and-take chemical reaction, or rather chemical rhythms of reactions, that are far more effective in the shorter sleep periods. Many of you sleep through periods that should be those of your greatest creativity and alertness, in which the conscious and unconscious are most beautifully focused and at one. [...]

(Pause.) Many will find that a five-hour steady sleeping period is quite sufficient, with a nap as required. [...]

There are rhythms that exist, as I have mentioned before, and over a period of time, had you the time to check your records you would see that overall we have about the same number of sessions over a yearly period. [...]

(During the last week Jane has had several long periods of relaxation, plus other signs of continuing physical improvement. [...]

The relaxation periods bring about a necessary situation in which the muscles become more pliable, and are then gradually released. [...]

[...] After the short period and slight gain in weight, the weight will then normally return.

[...] Children are also taught, however, that reading for anything but short periods was somehow unhealthy, that daydreaming or staying alone for anything but a brief period meant that the child was withdrawn, and that his activities—or hers—were somehow unnatural.

[...] You felt you should be introverted, have periods of isolation, time to sit and think, to write and paint, to look inward rather than outward. In periods of intense inner activity that were enjoyable and productive, you disapproved of yourselves because you were not at the same time socially oriented, vigorously involved in exercises, or physically oriented pursuits, and so you disapproved of yourselves.

[...] The body adjusts its rhythms in a quite healthy manner to your activities, and without polarized habits of thought, periods of deep creativity will automatically be followed by periods of walking, natural exercise of one kind or another, in which subjective thought and body motion are synchronized.

[...] The observable relaxation periods therefore momentarily ceased. [...]

[...] The relaxation periods follow a certain rhythm that is temperamentally suitable as well. [...]

(Pause.) In terms of your reality only, however, you seem to come to bloom through the seasons of the earth, and in your terms only, through consecutive periods. [...] Period.

For our analogy, now, think of the various ledges or levels of the mountain as different time periods. [...]

(Pause, one of many.) Time periods are natural and creative. [...]

[...] During that period concentrate your attention as vividly as possible upon one simple statement. [...]

[...] Period. [...] Period. [...]

[...] Period. [...]

[...] Period. [...]

[...] He must trust the relaxation period. There are periods where there is some disorientation, as the body rids itself of tensions, at its own pace, and they will be followed by periods of physical ambition.

[...] He thought previously that Eleanor and Dick would be a means, and there was a period from the time when you met them, until now, when for him everything was critical. [...]

[...] He can expect more relaxation periods now, so have him go along with them, and watch his moods then.

[...] Period. [...] Period. [...]

These institutions and disciplines are composed of individuals, each restrained by limiting ideas about their own private reality; and so it is with private reality that we will begin and always return, period. [...]

[...] Period.

The periods can now be continued, as you planned. Have you noticed the improvement since you began your prayer period?

He had a tendency by the end of the week, during prayer period, to become overanxious looking for signs, and found himself concentrating upon the symptoms that still remained. [...]

I mentioned that she was solving many problems in this, the last reincarnation within your system, and shortly training periods will begin. [...]

[...] The process itself is all to the good, even when it does bring about periods of unevenness. [...]

[...] (See my files.) On the other hand, you telepathically picked up from memory of a period in his life when he was afraid that he might die. [...]

[...] The period of ease had begun this afternoon, and was still in effect at session time. [...]

[...] The badminton, unless he is in a relaxation period, is excellent, however, and should be maintained because of the opportunity for speed. [...]

[...] He has done well dealing with body beliefs as he was presented with them in periods of passive relaxation. [...]

[...] A period of panic induces immediate accelerated concentration. [...]

(Pause.) On the other hand, such beliefs can be accepted when it appears that the conscious mind is asleep, or dulled as in periods of shock, or during operations. [...]

[...] Period. [...]

[...] The drug allows for regulated periods of highly intensified consciousness, operating at peak levels, with all the mental faculties accelerated. Between these periods, however, there are periods of unconsciousness. [...]

“During the unconscious periods the drugs injected into the physical brain give increased nourishment to those areas of the brain involved in these ejections of consciousness. Therefore, even though your probable self is within reaching distance, so to speak, he is sometimes in these blackout-nourishment periods.

[...] For various reasons we cannot discuss this evening, the experiments are now being conducted over a period of some weeks, and they will not be tried again until your autumn. This has to do with the conductivity of cell structures, and your particular atmosphere during these periods.”
