These beliefs may have physical or mental repercussions, though in most cases the two do not occur at once. We have dealt with some of the numerous physical dilemmas than can result. In other instances the individual encounters the difficulties on mental or emotional levels. One portion of the personality might be whole-heartedly in favor of good expression of personal power, and be stimulated to express and use his or her energy and strength. Another portion of the personality may be just as terrified of power or its uses as the other segment exults in it.

While hypnosis can be of considerable value in the hands of an excellent professional hypnotist, it still has serious drawbacks as a treatment under these conditions. Because of its very nature, hypnosis can end up segmenting the personality still further.

Under such therapy it sometimes seems that new, lesser personality fragments are uncovered, but it is very possible that these instead are created by the therapy itself. The hypnotist obviously wants to cure his patient, and all forms of schizophrenia are intellectually intriguing. The segments of the personality that are involved are being given great attention, and they may seize upon that attention, seeking ways to further dazzle the hypnotist while at the same time sabotaging recovery.

[...] Remember that each segment of life is motivated by value fulfillment, and is therefore always attempting to use and develop all of its abilities and potentials, and to express itself in as many probable ways as possible, in a process that is cooperatively — correction: in a process that takes into consideration the needs and desires of each other segment of life.

[...] Value fulfillment operates within microbes and nations, within individual creatures and entire species, and it unites all of life’s manifestations so that indeed creatures and their environments are united in an overall cooperative venture — a venture in which each segment almost seeks to go beyond itself in creativity, growth, and expression. [...]

[...] Therefore, there is a kind of innate gallantry that operates among all segments of life — a gallantry that deserves your respect and consideration. [...]

[...] You may have a large segment or small segments. Now, is a small segment less developed than a whole, larger segment of the same puzzle, and where is their placement in time? [...]

[...] (Pause.) A circle with segments cut into it like a pie may also be used by you to signify time segments. [...]

If you want to discover in what month something will come about for example, you may visualize the circle cut into 12 segments, or have this idea in your mind. Then as the painting is painted, so to speak, so many of these segments would be removed, representing the months that will pass before the event.

In one way or another each segment of consciousness is aware of each other segment, through an instantaneous communication that exists on many levels. [...]

You could not consciously handle these existences with one mind, as you think of mind, segmented. [...]

[...] You hold congregation with the many segments of your own reality. [...]

Again, corporeal reality is a brilliant segment of existence. [...]

[...] The brain waves as they are known are separately registered segments of a greater “whole” kind of consciousness, and your machines are just as segmented, perceiving only those patterns [they were designed to recognize]. [...]

(“A circular object that is segmented, and perhaps turns.” [...] Its construction is segmented, its outside shape made up of curves. [...]

A circular object that is segmented, and perhaps turns. [...]

[...] I hope that in other portions of this book certain mental exercises will allow you to leap over the tradition of time’s framework and sense with the united intellect and intuitions your own individual part in a spacious present that is large enough to contain all of time’s segments.

[...] Unfortunately, large segments of the population feel uncomfortable with their bodies, and do not trust the body’s spontaneity, strength, or overall dependability. [...]

[...] Each being is an individualized segment of the universe; then, in human terms, each person is a beloved individual, formed with infinite care and love, uniquely gifted with a life like no other.

[...] The systems are more like the various segments of a tangerine, with the uncamouflaged boundary areas like the white membrane between the tangerine sections.

[...] The tangerine would be but one segment, you see, of a larger system. [...]

Your real existence, even within your system, is too much for you to deal with in conscious terms, therefore the seeming segments. [...]

[...] You do not really hold it back, but your one-reality field psychological structure only experiences in tiny segments.

[...] A small segment this evening on television gave you a picture of the confused activity that can take place in exaggerated situations—the segment dealing with the abused children, for there you have parents reacting in the worst possible way to the religious dictums as interpreted by “Sinful Selves.” [...]

[...] The conscious mind is one brilliant segment of your larger consciousness, but it is composed of the same universal energy and vitality that composes all consciousness. [...]

[...] I perceive instead at one glance seemingly whole segments of your time field. [...]

[...] I do perceive your psychic values and emotional intensities, and realize that you perceive but very small segments of these. [...]

[...] You will be working with two segments of people though you only think you will be working with one segment. [...]

[...] All portions of the body’s reality are versions in flesh of the soul’s reality, even as all segments of the exterior universe mirror an internal one. [...]

The weight of unfortunate beliefs perhaps falls heaviest on the older segments of the population, for the beliefs have had a longer period of time to operate relatively unimpeded.
