In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is, of course, the rule, only the ability is used to form dream images. [...]

[...] There are no rules that hold any living thing down to one form or one kind of existence. [...]

What I am trying to say, is that there are apparent rules of cause and effect, but the same causes do not always give the same effects. [...]

[...] They then accept it as a definite rule of nature, never realizing that just beyond their eyesight and just beyond their outer senses, this familiar tamed animal of a law changes appearance completely. [...]

As a rule there is little communication, you see, through those uncamouflaged or undifferentiated areas. [...]

[...] Thoughts as a rule would not be perceived here, for the symbols that form them would not be understood.

[...] The connection between black and white thinking and creativity is legitimate, but it exists the other way around: as a rule the artist or creative person is (underlined) creative to the extent that he or she escapes black and white thinking, for the creative person deals with syntheses, original versions of reality and the consideration of different groups of probabilities—groups that appear otherwise very unlikely together from the standpoint of black and white thinking. [...]

[...] It does not regard art as a game, exactly, but it does not expect the same rules to apply, either, to a painted apple on a canvas and a real one. [...]

[...] In a large regard the church through the centuries ruled through the use of fear far more than the use of love. [...]

(Long pause at 9:37.) Ruburt had considerable difficulty with church doctrine even then, and the rules of the order as actually carried out through practice were later considered to hold their own seeds of heresy. [...]

[...] Males ruled both (they still do), and yet those leading religious organizations at least recognized their intuitive base. [...]

[...] This resulted of course in an overemphasis upon dogma — rules and the ritualization that had to be colorful and rich because it would be the one outlet allowed in which creativity could be handled. [...]

[...] Now, as you are merely concerned with your physical body and physical self as a rule, you give your attention to the stream of consciousness that seems to deal with it. [...]

[...] It only seems that you are, because as a rule you remember none of this in the morning. [...]

At one level your cells obey the rules of time, but on other levels they defy it. [...]

[...] “You’ve let it rule every bit of your life, every thought almost, and there sure isn’t much left, is there?”

You are as a rule aware of one system only and not generally conscious of yourself as anything but a creature of that system. [...]

[...] It has ruled the roost. [...]

[...] Otherwise the ego is left behind, unable to perform, as a rule now, its primary functions. [...]

[...] They follow the old rules, and many of them have far more physical difficulties than Ruburt. [...]

[...] You like driving because you feel that it gets you where you want to go and quickly, and you do not mind breaking a few small rules of the road in the process. Now the small rules that you break, are indeed, minute ones. It is not that you break a specific rule; it is the attitude that allows you to break the rule; and this applies to other roads beside the physical highway. [...]

[...] You also project it in any of your relationships, as a rule, with men who are older than yourself. [...]

[...] Different rules simply apply. [...]

[...] These are the ground rules, so to speak. [...]

As a rule, you see, there is little communication within the uncamouflaged areas. [...]

[...] Thoughts would not be perceived here, as a rule, for the symbols for them would not be understood.

Yet even these camouflage patterns must follow the basic rules of the inner universe, and reflect them even if in a distortive manner. [...]

[...] This layer can be quickly recognized, as a rule. [...]

[...] It fits loosely as a rule, but now she had to force it back on her fourth finger; contrariwise, she then had to wet it to remove it.

[...] The main rule here is merely a change of focus. [...]

[...] People may question the precepts, but generally speaking they live and work within organizational frameworks, each one ruled by various assumptions or suggestions.

When you do not trust your inclinations then you must indeed make rules to follow instead. [...]

When you do not trust your own feelings, however, and do not have specific rules governing such issues either, then few decisions are clearly made, or are even halfway agreeable. [...]

In your physical universe this rule is followed as physical growth. The entity follows this rule through the cycle of reincarnations. [...]

[...] This slower rhythm has been so prevalent in recent sessions that it appears to be becoming the rule. [...]

[...] The inner multidimensional shape of events occurs in a framework that you cannot structure, however, because as a rule you are not focused in that direction. [...]

You have a dream memory, of course, though you are not aware of it as a rule. [...]

[...] But we will progress and as a rule I prefer that Ruburt does not know many of my intentions, as he did not know during the incidents of telepathy with your John-Philip, since I do not want him to set up guards in advance.

[...] But as a rule this will not be the case, and at all times Ruburt can use his own volition, giving or not giving his permission. [...]

If You Are Ruled By Facts

If you are ruled by facts, take care,

In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. [...]

[...] This sort of thing does not as a rule go on in your plane. [...]

[...] There are no rules that hold any living thing down to one form or one kind of existence. [...]

[...] The personality hangs on to his small indulgences, but good sense will rule the day.

Sitters as a rule are indeed a benefit, in that the emotional impetus causes him to allow me greater freedom. [...]
