WHEN YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE.
THE WORLDS OF IMAGINATION AND REASON, AND THE IMPLIED UNIVERSE

[...] The Worlds of Imagination and Reason, and the Implied Universe.”

[...] While your reasoning abilities at first may falter, that is only because you have trained your intellect to respond in a limited fashion.

It requires that Ruburt forge imagination and reason together in a highly accelerated fashion, and at levels obviously not conscious in usual terms—levels that propel him into my domain. [...]

In personal terms, he feared that his father abandoned him for that reason, that his mother disliked him for that reason, for each person will interpret the belief in his or her own life according to circumstances. [...]

[...] The people use the materials of the world as they come into contact with them, in their own ways and for their own reasons. [...]

[...] In that regard they were meant to show that he was as reasonable, orderly, critical and responsible as your notes certainly showed you to be. [...]

The material I gave this evening should help him see the reason for the problems behind the symptoms. [...]

[...] The reasons behind those beliefs largely no longer operate. [...]

The initiating reasons behind those beliefs have been challenged. [...]

Earlier he did not want to use the body largely, for reasons he now understands and largely dismisses. [...]

[...] Since you understand so clearly the reasons for his problem, his lack of belief in the fact that he can indeed get well, then do your best to remind him that he can get well. [...]

You paint because you want to paint, and you set aside certain hours for your painting to insure that you will have sufficient time to do what you want to do; and this should be the reason for the regularity of our sessions.

There is no time when the sessions should be held merely from a sense of responsibility, and the sessions could not be held merely for that reason.

[...] This evening for several reasons his thoughts became clear on these subjects. [...]

[...] He has learned therefore to look within for the reasons as soon as symptoms appeared or reappeared.

The material just given has also been given for that reason—for trusted, his mental life would blossom overnight. [...] He thought it was not mature or reasonable to trust people. [...]

[...] In your existence it is quite reasonable to visualize a desired event, for example, in the belief that the image and thought will help make the event physically real – and so it shall. [...]

[...] For various reasons not to be gone into here, your people have learned not to trust their bodies or their minds. [...]

[...] I am giving you this material for a reason, and I hope to carry it further, because I want both now to begin to have a feeling for the reality that exists behind your experience with concepts or ideas. [...]

[...] The child who gets the mumps with a large number of his classmates, however, knows he has his private reasons for joining into such a mass biological reality, and usually the adult who “falls prey” to a flu epidemic has little conscious awareness of his own reasons for such a situation. He does not understand the mass suggestions involved, or his own reasons for accepting them. [...]

[...] If their thoughts can cause them to become ill, then there is no real reason for them to fear illness, for it is their own creation. [...]

[...] When he gets sick he intuitively knows the reason why, and he knows quite well that he brought about the illness.

Parents and physicians believe, instead, that the child is a victim, ill for no personal reason, but indisposed because of elements attacking him — either the outside environment, or [something] working against him from within. [...]

[...] His smoking, dear Joseph, is indulged in for entirely different reasons than those reasons which impelled you to smoke, and the habit is difficult for him to break, though he is breaking it and he has made strides that are important during the past year.

There is a very practical reason for a reverence for all life, and very practical reasons why man must learn certain facts that up to this point he has considered impractical. [...]

[...] This habit for various reasons then is deeply rooted, and seemed to be a harmless answer to a number of past and present needs and problems.

[...] The circumstances of birth were chosen at the last minute on his part and was made for two reasons.

[...] I’ve also taken to using mental imagery in this field, and will continue to do so for some time; I think there’s no reason why that can’t be effective also. [...]

[...] I’m referring at the moment to his comments about her embarrassment, in the early days, at earning more money than I did [see the deleted session for April 16, 1979, page 97], and that in later years the symptoms served to provide us with a sense of separation from the world, for a number of reasons [see the deleted session for April 18]. [...]

[...] All of this boils down to what I have said unceasingly (whispering) about trusting the spontaneous self—for in the most simple of terms, you do not need poor mobility as a working method for any reasons, if you trust the spontaneous self in its dealings with the conscious personality and with the world.

This session should be of value at this particular time, but I do not want you to dwell upon the reasons for the condition. [...]

At the same time you think, for several reasons, that at your age you should have a house, privacy to work, a way even of proving to your brothers that you have as much as they. [...]

[...] Ruburt as you know had his own reasons. [...]

[...] You chose a woman (beside reincarnational reasons which you will finally be given one day) who would not bear children and who would have as strong a commitment as your own.

[...] Ruburt sought you out for much the same reasons, with reincarnational background to be given. [...]

I will not keep you this evening, for obvious reasons. [...]

I will go into the reasons for his trouble during our next session, as I do not believe he can bear up to it this evening.

[...] Nevertheless, I suggest that Ruburt rest, and also rest tomorrow, as it will be most beneficial; and I will definitely go into the reasons for his condition.

(As we sat talking about the reasons for Jane’s painful neck, Seth came through again. [...]

It is for this reason that he has stubbornly resisted other areas of help in his physical condition, and it is the reason that you have gone along.

[...] He had to prove that he was a reasonable person. [...]

[...] He has pared them down to those he could reasonably explain intellectually. [...]

Sleeping five hours or so—for Ruburt, in any case—right now is good, because his body wants to move by then, and soreness and irritability begin toward morning as a rule for that reason and at this stage.

I have frequently said that beliefs cause reality, and that no symptom will simply fade away unless the “reason” is ascertained — but such reasons go far beneath your current ideas of cause and effect. [...]

[...] So he may begin to look into his past — with that belief in mind, that he cannot relate — and then find within previous conduct all kinds of reasons to support the idea.

In almost all cases of present limitation, there is one main theme in that particular area: The individual has schooled himself or herself to stress “negative” aspects, for whatever reasons.

[...] Along the way you may settle for a given remembered event or two, and assign to them the reasons for your present behavior. [...]

The meeting with your Seagull friend was significant for many reasons. [...]

There are reasons, reincarnationally, for this caution. [...]

[...] It is for that reason that he so fears the false prophet idea. [...]

He used the sword—another reason, incidentally, why he does not want to hurt anyone now—and the magic of words, and was involved in wars against Christendom. [...]

[...] You may have brought negative influences into your life for a given reason, but the reason always has to do with understanding, and understanding removes those influences.

[...] Theoretically, then, in each life you would become stronger, healthier, wealthier, and wiser, but it does not work that way, for many reasons. [...]

[...] No existence is chosen for one reason only, but would also serve many other psychological experiences.

Some families come together in a particular life not because of great attraction or love in a past existence, but for the opposite reason. [...]

[...] In spite of the very reasonable tone of the material in it, to me it seemed to fly in the face of all of the accumulated fears that had been bugging me, and Jane also, I thought. As soon as Seth mentioned her feelings of inferiority at the beginning of the session, it was all downhill for me; I thought we’d done a reasonable job on encountering those with our pendulum work, but it seemed that they were still as present and active as ever. [...]

When Ruburt does not see people, his reasons are sometimes much like yours, topside. [...]

[...] Ruburt needs the free time, meaning relaxed time, in which to allow the body’s continued healing, and your new suggestions tuned into all of the reasons behind the slowness of progress, as it seems to you. [...]

[...] I have told you that the changes are first mental, and therefore let me briefly give the reasons for Ruburt’s ease and sense of freedom the evening that your neighbors were with you on the porch—you know what I am referring to.

[...] There must be similar reasons for the same results to occur, which would mean we are even more closely related to animals than we suspect. Or there are different reasons for animal diseases — reasons that yield the same results we have to cope with. [...]

[...] The point is that the healing we want, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, has to come from a deeper understanding and encounter with those powerful forces that brought about the situation to begin with.

[...] For when you understand the symbolism behind your own actions, then you begin to understand yourselves and you know the reasons behind your actions. And when you act you do not deceive yourselves, you know quite clearly I am acting for thus and thus reasons. [...] You think you are acting for a particular reason but the action is for an entirely different reason, and therefore, you must learn why you act as you do. [...]

[...] There is no reason why, following the material and following your own individual ways, you cannot step out of the shadows of yourselves and become the inner selves that you know that you are. [...]

([Arnold:] “Then my analogy is reasonable?”)

[...] Now, there is no reason why each of you cannot experience reality, why each of you cannot travel out of the dimensions that you know. [...]

Despite your feelings against this house, generated because of Mr. Spaziani, at least on one level, your love of it was picked up by your present landlady for several reasons having nothing to do with the house. [...] It is for this reason that she painted the halls, and made the apartment adjustment. [...]

The mistrust of mobility, or fear that it could be taken away, was built up also, with other reasons given in the sessions, simply through the suggestion over the years of living with someone who was not mobile. [...]

[...] As already discussed, the exterior situation then serves to reinforce the inner data, and it seems to fly in the face of all reason, to deny exterior symptoms. [...]

[...] There is an important reason for your love of detail, and also there are charges connected with this. [...]

[...] You have yourself, now, inhibited some Nebene material for that reason. Ruburt has inhibited some psychic information for the same reason.

Much of your mental experience daily is based upon the proposition that there is something wrong with each of you, for one reason or another. [...]

[...] There is no reason to fear them. [...]

[...] You make distinctions that get your back up when there is no reason. [...]
