[...] I felt good too, about getting the personal information. [...]

[...] I tried writing it down so that I could read it to Jane: “Why did the personality adopt a course of action—being out of condition, say—that eventually came to assume such proportions in life that the focus upon it equaled, or even surpassed, the hours spent in the creative actions of writing that the personality said it wanted to do each day above everything else?”

[...] I was after an understanding on various levels of the fact that Jane had created something that certainly assumed equal billing with her other creative work—that the personality may have been quite aware that this would happen, and was willing in some sort of terms for the situation to exist for a number of years.

[...] In a curious fashion, such letting go of effort might well result in an increased abundance of creativity, for example, but the mental and psychological set allows an individual to become more aware of the basic motivations of the personality, that show themselves quite clearly through the impulses, and through desires—particularly when they are not overlain by layers of “I must,” “I should,” or “I must do this or that.” [...]

[...] Either course, a true letting go of effort, leads to the realization that the impulses of the personality innately know if the self’s best paths. [...]

[...] This is not a statement of passivity in conventional terms, but a creative releasing of the basic personality from the restraints of hampering beliefs.

[...] Through this person the others may vicariously share the excitement or suspense of those experiences that are otherwise blocked. [...]

[...] As you are not a rock or a mineral, but a person, so your individuality places you in a particular family or species of consciousness. [...]

3. Our dictionary defines a soul mate as one of the opposite sex with whom an individual “has a deeply personal relationship” — a mundane enough description. [...]

[...] Then in Chapter 9 of Personal Reality, see the 637th session at 10:20: “A group of cells forms an organ. [...]

[...] Now Anita Bryant serves a purpose for all of her distortions, for she presents each person with an exaggerated picture of certain beliefs. She makes each person question the nature of their own beliefs concerning sexuality. And sexuality is not only a personal question. [...] And each person who views her on television must look into their own beliefs. [...]

[...] And when each person feels and releases their own creativity, (to Sue) there will be no need for books about Seth classes, but now there is such a need.

[...] It taught me to consider all portions of the personality—its needs, desires, creative drives and expressions, etc., and I intuitively linked this up with Jane’s problems. [...]

(That a part of her did and does welcome the sessions and is indeed responsible for them, is not as important as that all elements of her personality respond to whatever she does in a positive way. [...]

[...] I have some personal remarks for you, and then since we are well embarked upon our chapter, and since it is late, I will let you go.

(Nevertheless, I have laid the projected painting aside, at least for the time being, although I did arrive at what seems to be an acceptable solution to all portions of my personality. [...]

[...] Portions of it deal with camouflage patterns, with the personal past of the present personality, with racial memory. [...]

But I still couldn’t quite believe in personal life after death. [...]

[...] Instruments may be used to force imagination to move along in terms of its owner’s personal memories, but it cannot be forced to move along the lines of conceptual thoughts because the imagination is a connective between the physical individual and the nonphysical entity.

[...] An emergency therapy will almost always bring immediate results: A week of time given to poetry, simply because this pursuit awakens in Ruburt the strongest aspects of his personality, and frees constructive energy from other layers of his personality.

It must, of course, succeed to some extent, or the physically oriented personality as you know it would not exist. [...]

[...] As far as his overall personality structure is concerned, creativity is a must. [...]

[...] These moves are not however basically important to the personality as a whole. [...]

(Seth’s dictation on his book tonight was preceded by four pages of personal material that we have deleted. [...]

[...] Here, we are discussing such issues only because they touch upon the multidimensional aspect of personality. [...]

(Long pause.) Such communications exist at all levels, but for his own personal reasons, and because of your relationship, Ruburt in particular tuned into your own greater personality with those attributes of love, deep understanding, and respect that often seem so difficult, it seems, to express adequately.

[...] Some of this may have been due to her lack of a normal home environment, without a father, we said, yet I felt there were strong independent elements in her personality that encouraged such behavior anyhow. [...]

[...] The first may seem general, but it will be highly personal, and I do not ask you to dispense with any great personal secret this evening. [...]

(To Ned.) Though we had an honest answer from someone over here in the corner, I would still like a more adventurous spirit so when you ask yourselves the questions during the week then allow yourself, my dear friend, to feel the uniqueness and the integrity of your own personality as you now know it and realize that there is none like it, in this universe or any other. [...]

[...] Another person says something I’ve forgotten to the idea that… the ocean water or sky, … were dangerous or maybe that it was lightening, but I dismiss this, stand in the bathtub and the water is great, hot and soapy. [...]

[...] That is, both of you have pursued separate abilities because of the bent of your particular personalities.

[...] Some things about a personality never change!

(Excerpts from Session 23, Wednesday, February 5, 1964, 9:00 P.M.)
(The first section of the session dealt with

[...] It would seem ludicrous to suppose that such a vital matter as breathing would be left to a subordinate, almost completely divorced, poor-relative sort of a lesser personality.

[...] The personality was a strong one however, and the rebellion found no outlet except for creativity. Now the present personality suffers pangs of remorse over the slightest imagined wrong it may do to another.

[...] This is one of the keynotes of his personality, and rather obviously this has to do with his early life and his mother.

[...] He also, that is Ruburt also, felt the violence that is a part of his father’s personality. [...]

With what you both know now you should work out an excellent balance, you see, in your business dealings, in the same way that you have worked out an excellent balance in your creative and personal lives.

And some personal material first.

[...] (Louder, humorously, reaching forward to tap me on the foot:) Now do you want any more personal material?

(A note added 31 years later, while I prepare this Volume 2 of The Personal Sessions for publication. [...]

[...] I do not personally know why anyone would collect the worst works of any artist, and get pleasure in ripping them apart. [...]

[...] To do this is to condemn yourselves personally. [...]

[...] To whatever extent, and in whatever fashion, each individual is therefore robbed of his or her belief in the personal ability to act meaningfully or with purpose in the present.

[...] Such persons are beaten up, or robbed. [...]

[...] Whether this is the person directly involved, or a person causing the difficulty I do not know. [...]

The personality of the woman is given this time to suffering. [...]

However, the personalities that inhabit these seemingly twin bodies to your own are not the same. [...]

[...] From your own perspective, from your own space perspective, through the methods which I have given you, you create your own version of a particular object, and you do it by using energy in a personal manner.

His own personality has indeed blossomed in all aspects, in terms of relating with others, and personal creativity. [...]

You both believed in relating personally to the universe. [...] The search for knowledge on your parts was personal. [...]

This personal kind of cellular memory in turn triggers other layers within the cells to varying degrees. [...] According to the state of illumination or grace, those mass memories may be activated that do not necessarily involve your personal experience — though your own involvement and the events of your life may appear within them in an entirely different framework than the one with which you are familiar.
