And (to Theodore) you have been so sensitive over there in the corner. He figures, you see, he can get sensitivity sessions elsewhere. On the other hand, you cannot find yourself by looking outward.

(Class did a sensitivity experiment.)

Now, each of you had to recognize your own emotions and your own feelings this evening, to one extent or another. This is your reality. You are used to hiding from them, and the more feelings you inhibit the more you inhibit your natural joy and spontaneity. And, to some extent, our friend over here is correct in that you can use sensitivity sessions themselves as simply another mask, in which case you never show yourself. Instead you display whatever mask you feel is required, which is after all another part of the social game that you always play. When you are doing psychological time, however, you cannot afford to be using energy to hide your own emotions from yourself. You need a feeling of release, you need to be friends with yourself so that you can let your abilities flow freely.

Now, in somewhat the same way must you meet your own aliveness and encounter yourselves, and you cannot do it by digging around the bush. You do it by realizing emotionally two things: your relationship with everything else that exists and your miraculous uniqueness; and the meeting place between the two is where the self is and you think of the self. The words I speak are meaningless if you do not put them to use and if they do not arouse in you a spark of activity. Now, I will lead a sensitivity session here some night that will be some session.

[...] In this method the impetus comes from survival personalities, acting directly through the physical mechanism of the most sensitive person at the table.

[...] The strongest sensitive is like a field operator. [...]

The flexibility and yet the focusing ability of the main sensitive is very important with this method. [...]

[...] In this method detailed above, there is cooperation between a survival personality and the person who is the operating sensitive. [...]

([Ned:] “You have to be sensitive, like you say you don’t have to be sad to be happy, but when you’re happy you have to be sensitive enough to realize that someone who is sad, that that is sadness. [...]

([Ned:] “But for the majority, the people who aren’t that sensitive, they have to be sad before they are happy.”)

Everyone is that sensitive. [...]

Now when I conduct a sensitivity session, you will know you have been to one. [...]

The sensitivities are vanishing. [...]

[...] When he became sensitized to the sweaters, then he had difficulty with his own hands, you see.

[...] (Pause.) These various sensitivities will lose, and are losing their power, and the fact of recognizing them is an automatic benefit.

[...] The sensitivities will block out such psychic abilities out of fear. [...]

If he were not already sensitized, these connections would not have bothered him, and they should fade as the general sensitivity disappears. It was because of such sensitivities being activated that Ruburt earlier responded in Marathon (Florida) to a sweater sent by his mother.

The sensitivity to sneakers was activated because of these connections with the mother, the children’s work hung upon the wall—this is another connection with his own past, you see, with early grades, and so is the colored girl, Dagmar, as Edward Briscoe was the only colored boy in his early grades.

There is some sensitivity to beads at this time only due to a picture in which his mother wears them with short skirts. [...]

[...] These gradually lose their strength and as the personality, in a better state of mind, is no longer as sensitive to those cues. For a while it is still somewhat more sensitive, for example, to moods or depressions that it would ordinarily sail through. [...]

[...] There was therefore interaction last evening when he felt resentful on a sensitive matter. [...] He will not always be so sensitive to rebuff, you see.

[...] They are that sensitive to the consciousness within cellular structure. [...]

The desire appears on this other level in the form of these electromagnetic units, which then cause a light sensitivity. [...]

He felt particularly sensitive looking for a job precisely when his book had arrived in the bookstores. [...]

[...] Ruburt’s fear, once set off, unfortunately serves to release unreasoning childhood fears that then trigger these sensitivities.

[...] It is his fear that sensitized him again to old issues.

This has been rather explained earlier this evening, and in previous sessions: Previous conditioning, and we explained why he became sensitized to this. [...]

He cannot disentangle himself from his beliefs about the species, which is why that area is so sensitive to him. [...]

[...] Because he is sensitive to various elements, he also soaks up atmosphere and suggestions like a sponge, and he has not learned to protect himself.

The added sensitivity will show in your work, and the flexibility will aid you in many ways. [...]

[...] The sympathy brings with it a sensitivity that is strong, challenging and intense. Many individuals have experienced unusual, quite valid and intense expansions of consciousness, but found themselves unable to correlate the new knowledge with past beliefs, to make the changes necessary to handle the sensitivity. [...]

[...] I thought she was sensitive to noise tonight because she didn’t want to be interrupted while getting this particular material. [...]

Children are extremely sensitive, of course, to their parents’ feelings and beliefs, particularly since they are dependent upon the parents to meet their needs. [...]

[...] In a strange fashion, the pain represented heightened sensitivity – extremely unpleasant, but also represented a vital emotional bodily response of a direct nature. [...]

[...] The bathroom area is a sensitive one for the reasons given.

[...] This results in the lingering strong sensitivities, which will vanish as he becomes reassured. [...]

In any state of dissociation any individual is more sensitive to inner data. This sensitivity varies in accordance to the ability of the individual in general in this line, which is why I make the point. [...]

[...] It is simply that he becomes vulnerable, or more sensitive, to inner data in a dissociated state, regardless of what causes the state to come about.

[...] In such a state, regardless of its cause, any individual is more sensitive to inner data. [...]

[...] There is an outer aloofness, but an inner sensitivity to different stimuli.

[...] They automatically sweep his consciousness into other areas of activity, away from issues to which he may have been sensitized in the past, and serve to give him a breathing spell and refreshment.

The points of sensitivity are diminishing. [...]

[...] She deeply reacted against violence, and was overly sensitive.

For your father was a great pretender in those early days; a dude and even a braggart, and he hid the part of himself that was aloof and sensitive, and wanted freedom. [...]

She did not have that sort of sensitivity, but she was more honest than he.

[...] Your father told himself that your mother, as a young woman, was sensitive and intelligent because she was beautiful. [...]

[...] It is the “soreness,” the sensitivity of life, reasserting itself. [...]

(Since Jane began to achieve a deeper trance state, and to speak while sitting down and with her eyes closed, she has become much more sensitive to interruptions. [...]

[...] There is an inner generosity and a psychic, if you will forgive the word, sensitivity, that will be of great benefit to the personality. [...]

[...] The fingers were very sensitive, and since then he has always developed the ability to use his hands to advantage in nimble ways. [...]

[...] Now when she is sensitized, they account for about 80 percent of physical symptoms. [...]

[...] The resulting resentment was the true basis for all symptoms, and attracted the other sensitivities that nourished them.

[...] The night sensitivity, you see, vanished when our sessions began, and returned masked with symptoms when his difficulties began. [...]
