• Rita on compound beings

    Monday February 9, 2015 F: 4 a.m. Rita, Jim Austin poses the following question. Well, I had gotten thus far when, re-reading the question that I had printed out for the morning, I realized that it was what we had worked on yesterday, and I had to re-read the previous session in order to remember…

  • Rita

    Tuesday February 10, 2015 F: 11 a.m. Given that we didn’t get to talk earlier today, and given that I’m not really hitting on all cylinders yet (but given that the alternative is packing books, getting ready for my move!) I thought maybe we could try this directly on the computer rather than writing it…

  • Rita on suffering

    Wednesday, February 11, 2015 F: 4:45 a.m. Well, Miss Rita, here we go again. Since I spent so much of yesterday sleeping – and wake up a while ago realizing I am well again – no reason to delay starting. Always a pleasure to remember the feeling of being well. It’s easy to take for…

  • Rita — more on suffering

    Thursday, February 12, 2015 F: 4:30 a.m. We’ll try it directly on the computer this morning, Rita. I’m too tired to think of writing and then transcribing. We’ll see how it goes. If I can tell a difference, maybe I’ll have to abort and start again in the journal, either today or next time. But…

  • Rita — suffering and the perception of separation

    Friday February 13, 2015 F: 5:40 a.m. Good morning, Miss Rita. I’m going to try this on the computer again, since yesterday seemed to work out well enough. If we ever get to a patch where speed works against me, I trust you will advise me to go back to pen and paper. R: I…

  • Rita – suffering, in context

    Saturday, February 14, 2015 F: 7 a.m. Late start this morning, though I don’t mind. Well, Miss Rita, I certainly do feel like I am riding a runaway horse, not for the first time. Performing in public like this is bringing in questions faster than we can deal with them, and now Charles is offering…

  • Rita — justice and injustice and perspective

    Monday February 16, 2015 F: 5 a.m. Beginning again, Miss Rita. I think today I’ll leave it up to you where we begin, and I’ll try it in the journal, the old way. Something didn’t work out yesterday, and I’m wondering if it is too many variables. R: Or could it be that things beyond…

  • Rita on context

    Tuesday February 17, 2015 F: 4 a.m. Okay, Miss Rita, you’re on – should you choose to be. Context, in judging life? R: The point should be evident. Nothing seen out of context is going to make sense, and why should anyone expect it to? Logically it amounts to a tautology: Things only make sense…

  • Rita — three questions

    Wednesday February 18, 2015 F: 6:10 a.m. Well, Miss Rita, Charles has given us a choice of several questions today. What’s your pleasure? R: Let’s start with the easiest, or perhaps I should consider it the hardest, because I can’t see the difficulty. [Charles said, “And this sentence from today’s session is a mind-stopper. It…

  • Rita — questions on the 3D and non-3D

    Thursday February 19, 2015 F: 3:30 a.m. Okay, Miss Rita, since it seems I’m not going to get any more sleep anyway, we might as well start. I haven’t counted the questions Charles proposes as possibilities, but there must be a dozen of them. Where would you like to begin? R: Let’s start with my…
