“You can best achieve some approximation of an idea by using Psychological Time [as a preliminary]. [...]

[...] Instead the dimensions of action have to do with intensities; not only the intensities of the electromagnetic components that compose them, but with intensities as they are translated into psychological terms. Therefore the psychological experience of a particular event or action has little to do with clock time.

[...] Seth volunteered to give information about Peg’s activities while she is in Washington, and Jane also plans to tune in on Peg via psychological-time experiments. [...]

[...] When you speak in terms of the depth of a psychological experience or action, you mean something else entirely, for this is a depth of intensity. [...]

The psychological feeling of intensity has its own electromagnetic reality. [...]

[...] They conceive of the psychological structure as a gestalt, dominated by the ego, formed by various needs and potentialities. [...]

[...] But this is all highly simplified, for the ego structure is not one thing, but a changing, never constant, actually quite informal grouping of psychological patterns. [...]

[...] In some cases this may cause inconvenience and considerable psychological difficulties, but when such an instance occurs it is because the ego structure that is being deposed was not carrying out the main aims or goals of the identity which originally gave it that envied position of dominance.

[...] They are the result of psychological experience gained in past lives.

[...] That creative kind of withdrawal is quite healthy, psychologically pertinent, and creative. [...]

[...] He was saved, so it seemed, from endless explanations; so with a kind of psychological economy that worked far too well for a time the symptoms served to keep him writing at his desk, to regulate the flow of psychic activity, making sure of its direction, and to provide a suitable social reason to refrain from activities that might distract him—from tours or shows, and also even from any onslaught of psychic activity that might follow any unseeming (underlined) spontaneous behavior. [...]

[...] Ideally it is his play as well, and his books serve as his own characteristic kind of public expression, fulfilling the most private and the most public poles of his psychological activity. [...]

[...] The inner psychological distance must become surfacely portrayed, instantly translated to the audience, so that for him there is the same kind of reaction that he might have in talking to others overly much about a book of his own in progress—as if he might talk out the book, and therefore not need to write it, while at the same time losing much of the inner development that might otherwise give the book its own deeper meanings. [...]

The practical experience of reality is formed through the suggestive psychological idea-shapes that appear in the guise of theories, dogmas, and assumptions. [...]

[...] As per James, it was no coincidence that the beliefs of Freud and Darwin merged so well to form western society’s idea of the self, physically and psychologically. [...]

[...] That challenge further activates additional motion: it is almost impossible to explain how intimately your psychological beliefs program your experience of events, or to tell you how to interpret them. [...]

[...] There are natural bodily reactions, however, and psychological reactions that may seem natural, but that often are contrary to the body’s knowledge, and that can block that knowledge with the sense of reassurance that it can bring. [...]

(9:50.) Psychologically, only a massive explosion can free them. [...]

[...] They turned against the idea of violence, and each in his own way recognized the personal psychological ambiguities of their feelings during combat.

Another small point here: Christ’s dictum to turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39, for instance) was a psychologically crafty method of warding off violence — not of accepting it. [...]

(11:22.) Trusted, your feelings will lead you to psychological and spiritual states of mystic understanding, calm, and peacefulness. [...]

What you have is a kind of inner backbone of perception—a backup program, so to speak, an inner perceptive mechanism with its own precise psychological tuner that in one way or another operates within the field of your intent. This is somewhat like remote sensing, or like an interior (pause) radar equipment that operates in a psychological field of attention, so that you are somewhat aware of the existence of certain events that concern you as they come into the closer range of probabilities with which you are connected.

[...] They did have, however, an extra intentness and vitality and peculiar insistence—qualities that he has learned are indicative (pause) of unusual psychological activity. [...]

[...] His name is P I E T R A. (Spelled out.) In psychological time or simply when you are still, close your eyes and imagine your physical universe as one room in our analogy, and his as another with a passageway between. [...]

He is a man of some psychological insights also, and he is like you enough so that he can understand many of your attitudes easily, and unlike you enough so that he can see you much more clearly. [...]

I repeat: some of this can be conscious, if you use a psychological-time framework. [...]

[...] The body mends itself in its own way, however, and you will put your own psychological judgments upon its sensations. [...]

[...] They do not require all of the effort and psychological technology of a nuclear war (with humor). [...]

[...] Unless the individual learns, however, to induce that psychological climate personally, the healing may not last. [...]

[...] Perhaps you could compare them to the natural psychic or emotional equivalent, the psychological equivalent, of nature’s clouds, sun, storms, or seasons.

Historically speaking, the ancients understood man’s psychology, his psyche, far better than you do now, for they were far more aware of its context. [...]

[...] It seldom occurs to you as a people that inner landscapes are as real, or that there are, say, psychological structures, usually unperceived, that are quite as real as any physical one. [...]

[...] You may find yourself experiencing a state of consciousness, for example, in which nothing seems to happen, and no psychological landscape or recognizable symbols occur. These exist not only psychologically or psychically, but as blank areas in terms of space. [...]

[...] Inertia results when aggressiveness and creativity are not in the proper proportions, when consciousness leans too severely in one direction or another, when the flow of symbols is either too quick or too slow for the particular psychological environment in which you dwell.

[...] The psychological frameworks are so different. [...]

[...] Other psychological structures have not been initially aware of this peculiar relationship between your physical framework and your time concept.

Now the time sequence, while followed physically by your animals, is psychologically experienced far differently. [...]

[...] In times of psychological stress — or in periods of crises — quite unwittingly you often withhold this strong reinforcement. [...]

[...] All of this was fascinating, incidentally, and full of psychological insight that greatly helped us both.

[...] “I worry that it’s just a psychological trick,” I said. [...]

“Do you realize that the entire session contained more psychological insight into me and more hints into my behavior than I’ve ever received in any way whatsoever? [...]

[...] The deepest meanings of probabilities lie, however, precisely in their psychological import.

The unknown reality is your psychic, spiritual, and psychological one, and from it your physical experience springs.¹

[...] (Pause.) It is obvious that when you move from one place to another you make an alteration in space — but you alter time as well, and you set into motion a certain psychological impetus that reaches out to affect everyone you know. [...]

Theories of probabilities will be seen as practical, workable, psychological facts, giving leeway and freedom to the individual, who will no longer feel at the mercy of external events — but will realize instead that he (or she) is their initiator.

[...] To that degree such psychological particles are at that stage unspecialized, while they contain within themselves the innate ability to specialize in whatever direction becomes suitable.

[...] I am quite aware of the fact that you can scarcely follow that psychological motion. [...]

[...] Probabilities intersect at each point with your time, and those probabilities are psychologically directed so that, in your terms once again, he is at an excellent intersection point, where the prognosis is excellent. [...]

First of all, Ruburt may continue with his daily psychological time experiments. But these are to be carried on but once daily, and if he tries any other sort of experiment, such as he tried with the Father Trainor poetry session last week, then he is not to attempt his regular psychological time experiment for that day.

[...] And also, I am at present against these fairly frequent sessions where, on the one hand, Ruburt pretends that he is merely resting; that is, he pretends to himself, but actually he is expanding his energies, and expending them just as quickly, for this amounts to more than one psychological time experiment daily.

A complete change from intense focus outward to intense focus inward is most beneficial, but this does not mean that every few minutes found available be spent in psychological time experiments. [...]

[...] It is a psychological reality or a psychic one if you prefer. [...] They are a product of your own psychic and mental and psychological activity and so they exist whether or not you perceive them. [...]

If you would identify with your own psychological reality, following the inward structure of thoughts and feelings, you would discover an inward psychological infinity. [...]

[...] I vaguely felt it, but it was pretty alien to my psychological experience.” [...]

[...] There are different varieties of psychological infinities that do not meet — that is, that go off in their own infinite directions.

[...] There are other kinds of psychological organizations also. [...]

We have been speaking of the electric reality and actuality of thoughts and emotions, and of dreams, and of all such experiences which appear to be purely psychological in origin, and take up no space in your physical universe.

[...] You realize now that psychological conditions have their existence within electrical reality, and so certain frames of mind will then be duplicated within the electrical field.

[...] Jane and I have both approximated these sensations during psychological time experiments also.

Your mental life deals with psychological events, obviously, but beneath so-called normal awareness the child grows toward the mental body of events that will compose his or her life. [...]

Each child’s birth changes the world, obviously, for it sets up an instant psychological momentum that begins to affect action in Framework 1 and Framework 2 alike.

[...] If buildings are constructed of bricks quite visible, so mass events are formed by many small, invisible happenings — each, however, fitting together quite precisely in a kind of psychological masonry in which each of you has a mental hand. [...]
