• 32 – God-fearing men

    [7 a.m. Thursday, February 16, 2006] It feels like I haven’t heard from myself this good while. I have been reading, reading. Sam Watkins and then Elisha Hunt Rhodes. And a bit of re-reading – Far Memory by Joan Grant. [Watkins, who had been a private in the Confederate army, wrote a book of memoirs…

  • Black box session — 9-15-00 (1)

    Session two of ten Friday, September 15, 2000 [Background. This session not at 9 a.m. as the first, but at 11 a.m., which gave me time to have drunk a couple of cups of coffee beforehand, and time to talk to TGU in my journal, who said in part: “Continue to expect the unexpected, but…

  • 33 – Communication

    [Thursday, February 16, 2006] (11 a.m.) All right. Typed that up and sent it out. Continue? Your second questions was, do we communicate up here, and – to throw ‘em both in together – if what you do there affects what I can do here. Sure we communicate! We do nothing but communicate. But it…

  • A New Model of Consciousness in Space and Time – 8

    Sunday, January 22, 2006] …8:50 a.m. I was about to see if finally I might feel like painting but realized I am feeling a slight depression, and it occurs to me, maybe because I haven’t done my accustomed work, which is coming to be a comfort to me day by day. As I write this…

  • Get it by email.

    I realized, this morning, looking at this site, that I am throwing an awful lot of material at you in a short time. I also realized that it can be hard to follow a conversation when you come in on the middle of it, and hard to read and absorb material online. Also, it can…

    Friday, September 15, 2000 Debrief after session number two, edited (part one)     F: Strange session. S: It was soft and gentle. Nice session, good reporting.

  • 34 – Our struggle

    [Friday, February 17, 2006] All right. It is 8 a.m., nearly, the start of a cloud-heavy morning. If you’re ready to answer [my brother] Paul’s question – what is the real challenge of our time, what is the equivalent of the Civil War to us – I’m ready to hear it. You have heard it…

  • 35 – Emerson and young men

    [Sunday, February 19, 2006] Joseph, I don’t know if it was you planting ideas in my head – where do ideas come from, anyway? – but I thought today I would ask you to talk to me about Emerson in your life. That is the connection in which you first came to me, and for…

  • Societies and wealth and us

    Saturday, May 5, 2007 7:20 a.m. Michael Langevin and others asked if I had ever asked you to follow-up on the question of societies that had prevented hypertrophy of wealth. I’m a little worried about it (nothing new there!) But it is a worthwhile question — or is it? I am tempted to do something…

  • Black box session — 9-15-00 (3)

    Friday, September 15, 2000 Debrief after session number two, edited (part two) F: Remind me what the galvanic skin response is? That’s the conductivity? S: Yes. It relates to the sudorific system, i.e. the potassium and salt content in the skin tissues, which is an involuntary response to emotional arousal. So when you have a…
