• Rita — January 30

    Friday, January 30, 2015 F: 6 a.m. So, Miss Rita, here we go again. This is becoming a habit, very like my fond memories of getting up each morning to have coffee with Ernest Hemingway and see the sun come up while sitting at the dining room table – your dining room table, come to…

  • Rita — on emotions

    January 31, 2015 F: 5:30 a.m. Miss Rita, if you have recovered from your post-birthday hangover, let’s go again. [Pause.] No come-back? R: The delay wasn’t on this end, and perhaps we should say, wasn’t on your end either. We just weren’t linked for a moment. F: So that might have been because I wasn’t…

  • Rita on the shadow

    Sunday, February 1, 2015 F: 6:30 a.m. Rita, you said you’d want to begin with Jenny’s second question. Have at it. [Jenny’s second question: We are born as “potential” and create a “linear life” by the linking of experiences chosen and “bestowed” by life’s circumstances. Every step of the journey through a human life, one…

  • Rita — All is well

    Monday February 2, 2015 F: 4 a.m. Good morning, Miss Rita. Charles suggests these questions for today. First, James Austin asks for ways to make your statements practical. To wit: [“I’m requesting Rita’s insights on ways of living life that help one turn her words into personal experience…. She speaks of having an awareness that…

  • Rita, beginning on the question of good and evil

    Tuesday February 3, 2015 F: 5:15 a.m. Good morning, Rita. I’m looking forward to today’s question and response, as it is a subject on which I have pretty strong opinions and I don’t actually know what yours are, despite our having lived in the same house, if on different floors, for so many years. (Only…

  • Rita –more on good and evil

    Wednesday February 4, 2015 F: 3:30 a.m. And here we go again. We seem to be working our way backwards around the clock. Soon we will be starting at 10 p.m. Not that I’m complaining! Miss Rita, your move. R: Very well. Funny, I’m not sleepy at all.. F: Yes, very funny. I wonder why…

  • Rita — on good and evil, continuing

    Thursday February 5, 2015 F: 4:30 a.m. Good morning, Miss Rita. So – good and evil, continued. Yes. Helpful to have the question poised for you, isn’t it? F: It is indeed. There’s all the difference in the world. It makes me aware of how hard it can be, to try to do both ends…

  • Rita — on good and evil, continuing

    Friday February 6, 2015 F: 4 a.m. Miss Rita, open for business. More, I take it, on the subject of good and evil. I doubt we have quite exhausted the subject. R: Not quite. We’re more likely to exhaust the reader than the subject. But, as I said, slow but steady. Very well, bearing in…

  • Rita, concluding on good and evil

    Saturday February 7, 2015 F: 6 a.m. To resume – R: Evil as a part of you, a touchy subject. F: Is this not where we are forced into the subject of sin? And, you’re right, nobody likes that subject much. Say “sin” and you get a cross-eyes, perplexed reaction from people who wonder if…

  • Rita on angels and us

    Sunday February 8, 2015 F: 6 a.m. All right, Miss Rita, we have another question, which I make to be #11 unless I have lost count, and #12 if you get to it today. [#11 from Jim Austin: “I was struck by some of the things Rita said in the various parts of Question 5…
