There are various kinds and stages in such cases. [...]

[...] You would have been put through experiences most difficult to cope with, that would have so disrupted your peace of mind that the work might well have not progressed to this stage.

[...] The stages involved are largely artificial. [...]

(It had been suggested that Jane do stage trance work when addressing the SFF meeting. Jane had decided she wasn’t interested in this type of stage presentation.)

Many of the sensations or stages that are definitely considered negative at such times, and certainly appear so in your experience, are the result of misunderstandings because of ingrained beliefs about body behavior, or the result of your lack of confidence. [...]

[...] The material led me to suggest some alternatives to our present routine and attitudes; Jane said the suggestions, which were only speculative at this stage, frightened her, but I did not intend this of course. [...]

[...] (Pause.) This transitionary stage is rather difficult to perceive. [...]

[...] The stage had been set through conversation and the use of the tape, and I thought Seth made his appearance with the subconscious permission of Jane and me. [...]

[...] Human consciousness is now at a stage where such a development is not only feasible, but necessary if the race is to achieve its greatest fulfillment.

[...] If you prefer, you can clear the stage at once by saying, “I do not like this play, and so I will create it no longer.” You may then find yourself facing an empty stage, become momentarily disoriented at the sudden lack of activity, and promptly begin to form another dream play more to your liking.

If, however, you pause first and wait a moment, you can begin to glimpse the environment that serves as a stage: the natural landscape of the dream reality. [...]

[...] That work must then be “brought down” from that stage of consciousness to the ordinary one, and to the people of the world—an enterprise—

[...] There is a disease you read about recently, where the skin turns leathery after intense itching — a fascinating development in which the human body tries to form a leathery-like skin that would, if the experiment continued, be flexible enough for, say, sweat pores and normal locomotion, yet tough enough to protect itself in jungle environments from the bites of many “still more dangerous” insects and snakes.³ Many such experiments appear in certain stages as diseases, since the conditions are obviously not normal physical ones. [...]

(I haven’t started any new creative ventures yet, although I’ve done considerable work filing, organizing records, etc., to set the stage for whatever develops. [...]

Jewish shepherds represented the placenta that was meant to be discarded, for it was Jewish tradition that nourished the new religion in its early stages before its birth. [...]

[...] In fact it is a stage clearing the way for new action, and to a certain extent the handmaiden of encouragement and joy.

[...] Frank’s gadget can now serve as an excellent natural physical therapy, particularly useful at this stage, sending the message also that Ruburt is willing to let such relaxation occur. [...]

[...] When you seem to suffer in contrast to the development or situation of any other specific or generalized persons, it is when you are trying to live up to artificial pictures of yourselves—of people who should have been as knowledgeable years ago as they are now, and who therefore now should be at much greater stages of development. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel. [...]

The response of relaxation after the first session in fact helped set the stage for the better functioning that Ruburt noticed in various areas of the body this evening. [...]

(Pause at 9:15.) It is quite healthy, particularly at certain stages, for young children to sleep together in the same room or even in the same bed, as long as some opportunity for seclusion is provided to them when they want it—for at night the ancient families did indeed refresh and heal themselves.
