[...] “It really bothers me when I don’t start a session within a reasonable time: I wonder what kind of a block is there, you know….” [...]

[...] More than once I’ve seen her produce excellent material like she had tonight even though, before a session, she’d announce a reservation about holding it for one reason or another.

[...] With the conscious mind as director, there is no reason why much of this knowledge cannot become normally and naturally available. [...]

(Once again now, Jane wondered why the “more elaborate or complicated qualities” of her trances [she couldn’t really explain what she meant here] were necessary in order for her to deliver this book, as opposed to the “easier” ones she’d experienced for Personal Reality. I suggested she forget such comparisons and think that “Unknown” Reality simply required a different approach, for whatever subjective reasons, and that perhaps her constant questioning would be taken care of as her work on it progressed.⁵

[...] Your deepest natures called it out of the probable sequence into your joint reality — for a reason, because each of you knew that it could best help you to develop all of your respective abilities to their fullest, and also help others.

[...] For that reason, I’ll use excerpts from it to open this chapter.

[...] … You adopt a body as a space traveler wears a space suit, and for much the same reason.”

[...] And here also we have the reason why inner vitality can never achieve complete materialization. [...]

[...] Because past, present, and future exist simultaneously, there is no reason why you cannot react to an event whether or not it happens to fall within the small field of reality in which you usually observe and participate.

For reasons of convenience on your part, completely unscheduled sessions would not be practical. [...]

In such cases therefore you must make your own decisions, and you should not have a session if for any reason you do not feel comfortable about it. [...]

(Seth’s remarks about the recorder point up the reason we do not use it to routinely record the sessions for later transcription. [...]

[...] Her reason for this, when I questioned her, was that “it hurts to move. [...]

[...] At the same time, for many reasons there has been a difficulty in accepting the natural patterns of his own individualistic growth—and that is partially because there were no neat categories in which they seemed to naturally fall. [...]

All of this involves you in the private nitty-gritty of dealing with the ways of thinking and reasoning that are so characteristic in your society and in your time. [...]

[...] For various reasons the intervals here, you see, are to some extent recalled.

[...] This leads Ruburt to think, for his own reasons, of his ESP book notices. [...]

[...] This leads Ruburt to think, for his own reasons, of his ESP book notices. [...]

[...] He had no great faith in the body because he saw how his mother’s behaved, without any knowledge of the reasons. [...]

For reasons given much earlier, you both worried about the body mechanism in terms of childbirth, and it suited both of your purposes to minimize the possibilities in that direction, and to save yourselves from the monthly fear that a birth might have resulted.

[...] We always assign reasons, even if they’re hidden at times, for any action. [And often, we’ve discovered, further observation will bear out those reasons.] This way of thinking led to our taking the chain of circumstances involving the two houses almost for granted; each unfolding had seemed to fall so effortlessly into place that deep questioning hadn’t been called for “Oh, of course — things would work out that way …”

[...] In this system she wanted Joseph to have her own house (see Note 1), but for many reasons that did not develop.

[...] For some reason I find this latter feature quite amusing.)

[...] In fact, material on Three Mile Island developed in the session held this afternoon, which is the main reason we decided to give these excerpts here.
