[...] The same holds true for what you would term future objects or events.

[...] (Long pause.) I told you that at certain levels contradictions would certainly seem to appear, but the us-ness of the self represents an important psychic characteristic. [...]

[...] When you look at the great world picture before you in space and time, look at it as you would a multidimensional worldscape, painted by some artist who was all of the great masters in one; and behind the scenes of destruction and conflict, feel the great energy that in itself denies the destruction that is in that case so cleverly depicted.

[...] I would not go so far as to say that it is immoral to worry, but worry is a biological impediment. [...]

The mind is also equipped to see its own beliefs, reflect upon them and evaluate their results, so using this tool as it was meant to be used would automatically help man in recognizing both his beliefs and their effects. [...]

Imagine where your breath goes when it leaves your body, how it escapes through an open window perhaps and becomes a part of the space outside, where you would never recognize it — and when it has left you it is no longer a part of what you are, for you are already different. [...]

[...] If it were a physical target, the person would stand [bow and] arrow in hand, thinking only of hitting the bull’s-eye, mentally concentrating upon it, making perhaps some learned gestures — proper footing or whatever — and the body’s magical properties would do the rest.

(Jane first mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Seth, her trance personality, would start another book of his own soon. [...]

(“I guess Jane would like to see that.”)

If the cells did not die and were not replenished, the physical image would not continue to exist, so now in the present, as you know it, your consciousness flickers about your ever-changing corporeal image.

(10:50.) If consciousness vacated the body for the same amount of time from a normally physically awake state, it would consider itself dead, for it could not rationalize the gap of dimension and experience. [...]

The infinite ranges possible to human capabilities would be explored — and those who chose that route said, quote: “We will trust that our creativity will find its own way, and if there are nightmares we will waken from them. [...]

[...] I speak with the wisdom, for example, that your cells would utter if they had speech.

[...] Obviously under usual circumstances this would have no such effects. [...]

[...] If he had written instead, he thought, then he would have been denying the body impulses. [...]

[...] She was very surprised — and so was I. At first, Jane said, she interpreted her information [from Seth?] to mean that I would be writing a chapter with that title for one of her own books. [...]

[...] A person who feels that life has no meaning, and that his or her life in particular has no meaning, would rather be pursued than ignored. [...] If the paranoid might feel that he [or she] is pursued, by the government or “ungodly powers,” then at least he feels that his life must be important: otherwise, why would others seek to destroy it? [...]

[...] For one thing, your concepts of time, realistically or practically speaking, as utilized, would become more difficult to maintain in normal life. [...]

[...] Such training would add immeasurably to the dimensions of your life. [...]

It would help if he let himself go in the same way that he does when he works on his poetry. [...]

[...] They have given you a strength that you would not possess if your ego had not allowed them to emerge. [...]

(Today I bought Jane a “water cushion” to aid in her sitting difficulties, but upon filling it after supper we didn’t think it would work. [...]

[...] Such is obviously not the case with you and Ruburt, or you would not be having this session, or any other such activity.

[...] The tree would be in the Brenner’s front yard now.

[...] I asked that she be tested for food allergies, since I’d read that reactions to various foods and additives can trigger arthritis, but Dr. Mandali said that “if Jane is allergic she (Jane) would know it”—a position I came to most thoroughly disagree with. [...]

[...] That is, the individual is not just a side issue in what people usually call the evolutionary process—but he or she is the entire issue, without which there would be no species, no survival, no exquisite web of genetic cooperation to produce living creatures of any kind whatsoever.

[...] I envisioned some hilarious episodes during which Seth, speaking through Jane, would try to explain to gatherings of medical people just who he was and what he believed. [...]

[...] That light is unique, and if you truly understood what it was, you would indeed understand the nature of true reality.

(Ordinarily this session would have been held yesterday, but Jane wanted to try it on a Thursday for variety. [...]

(As we talked Jane impressed upon me that she’d definitely picked up that a household pet would help our neighbor Joe Bumbalo a great deal — she wants me to be sure to impress upon Margaret Bumbalo that this is the case; she felt it strongly, it wasn’t just a generalized idea, Jane said.)
