He is stubborn, as we have discovered, you and I, and this stubbornness will also work for him. [...]

(Pause.) Your father’s sentence—the paper-bag reference—was one he actually made in his own mind, in the life that you actually knew him in, and he considered that sons rather than daughters represented his one physical triumph —that is, he believed sons preferable, and they alone compensated for a working man’s life—a life he felt did not befit him. [...]

[...] I’d turned the heat back on, though — it was working again now, somewhat mysteriously, I thought, since no one has looked at it. [...]

[...] I also want him to read the old sessions on work and spontaneity. [...]

[...] At least some of the portraits reminded me of Rembrandt’s work, in the dream. [...]

[...] The events were my own fault, of course, for I hadn’t known enough to take a firm stand and reclaim my own work. [...]

(Jane and I worked on proofreading Seth’s book for an hour or so after supper, and then went for a walk. [...]

[...] All who wish to look within themselves, to find their own answers, to encounter their own “appointment with the universe,” should therefore become well acquainted with the intimate workings of their own personality.

[...] Now while I tell this story humorously, you must understand that the man’s belief brought it about, and so to set him free, we worked it through.

(Jane literally has no sense of geography or of distance, facts that have unwittingly worked to her advantage in sessions. [...]

[...] Often you take it for granted that intuitive knowledge is not practical, will not work, or will not give you diagrams. [...]

[...] He did much of his work through intuition and images. [...]

[...] As the body handles many physical manipulations without your own conscious knowledge of what is being done, or how, so the workings of your own psychological systems often automatically solve “their own problems” through dreams of which you are not aware.

[...] It was the fear of death — not chosen, of course — the fear that if he did not deliver, work hard, and pay his mother back for a life magically given, grudgingly given, then in a magical equation she, the mother, could take it back. [...]

This was the result of my attempt to give the voice an independence, to form sound within your physical system without working through Ruburt’s vocal cords, but to impress your physical system kinetically.

I do not mind speaking to your young friends under good conditions; perhaps the recorder can be utilized at such times, and Ruburt can be put to work typing up any additional notes. [...]

[...] ‘She still works all day at the taxi company’ Rob says, “and I work too. [...]

[...] Through the probable experience, she was able to see what could have happened to you in this system, had you given in to negative thoughts and feelings and not been persistent in your work and efforts.

[...] But by then, the inner work and decision has been done.

[...] She told Rob that our work with Seth was a lifetime project, that we would publish his manuscripts, and help spread his ideas. [...]

[...] They have not excelled, neither have they ‘failed.’ They are working out problems of their own. [...]

[...] The freely working subconscious — or the inner you — is completely capable of taking care of all practical considerations and will use the ego as a tool to do so.

[...] In periods of exuberance, when you are working well, and your health is extraordinarily good, when you are able to remember and manipulate your dreams, then such periods are signs of the emergence of this new consciousness.

The main energy and concern therefore should be in his work. [...]

This newer type of consciousness would automatically allow you to understand, at a glance so to speak, the inner workings of your own personalities.

[...] At the time she was thinking about calling the owner of the gallery where she works on business this coming Friday. [...]

[...] The sculpture Seth refers to above represents some done by students in Bill Macdonnel’s art classes; at the end of the school year the students did not claim their work, so Bill presented us with some pieces. [...]

[...] This appeared to work; I felt similar to the state I experienced when Jane hypnotized me and used age regression. [...]

In the creation of art forms, both self-consciousnesses are allowed with certain reservations to work together. [...]

The act of artistic creation is therefore one to study, since it involves the intricate workings of the dual self-consciousnesses of one personality, inner data being transformed through the subconscious and greater individuality being made possible because of this.

[...] The divider Seth referred to consists of an idea of mine to build a small bookshelf arrangement over Jane’s desk, so that she will have an enclosed working area at one end of our living room next to the windows.
