[...] There can be a literal interpretation: The drawing of the milkweed on page one of the object is V-shaped in the abstract sense—wide at one end, narrowing to a point, as did Jane’s gesture. Also the A in the Art Shop monogram narrows somewhat but doesn’t come to a point. [...]
[...] The disorientation that it feels is the disorientation, you see, that it will feel when the physical body is deserted, or at the point of death.
I want to mention the difference also in experience and sensation, between a projection that begins in the dream state, and one that begins in a trance state, and also to discuss what Ruburt calls awake-seeming dreams, for there are several points here that you do not know, and they are fairly important.

[...] I think that in his delivery since 9:53 especially, Seth did a good job of making some important points in a very brief way.
This is not necessarily the best analogy, but I wanted to make the point that various scales of awareness contain their own infinities, no matter how finite they may appear to be.

Now I return the room to all of you — and remember, I am using you (Warren) to make the point only because you asked the question. [...]
[...] — there are points, again speaking simply and in your terms, where probabilities meet: intersections with space and time that occur in your minds while you change directions, where new probabilities that once lay latent suddenly emerge.9 And in terms of your civilization and your time, such a time is now.
