• Seth and our culture

    As I look around at what most people seem to believe, it’s like living in an insane asylum. Scientists have their particular brand of insanity; religious fundamentalists theirs, liberals and New Agers their own, gloom-and-doomers in general, theirs. What a relief, then, to pick up a Seth book and see this calm survey of these…

  • 57th Talk with Rita – 3-4-2015

    Wednesday, March 4, 2015 F: 5:10 a.m. A little tired, this morning. Onward? R: There isn’t any rush. Enjoy your coffee, come to this a little more gradually. F: Yes, I guess I was startled when I woke up to find it five a.m. instead of the 2:30 or so that I thought it was.…

  • Looks like we have our title

    [Talked to Rita this morning, sent the following to Bob Friedman and he confirmed he liked the second combination, as do I, even though I had resisted the idea of having Rita’s name in the title.] F: You have seen us casting about for the right title and subtitle for the book. Presumably it exists…

  • 58th Talk with Rita – 3-5-2015

    Thursday March 5, 2015 F: 4:30 a.m. Morning, Miss Rita. Here we go again. “Web to weave and corn to grind.” And why I woke up with that quote from Emerson, I have no idea. At any rate, let’s go. [Sheila’s question: “[Rita spoke about establishing `intent’ with some examples in this sentence: `In short,…

  • Oh, I love Seth!

    “The idea of a meaningless universe, however, is in itself a highly creative imaginative act. Animals, for example, could not imagine such an idiocy, so that the theory shows the incredible accomplishment of an obviously ordered mind and intellect that can imagine itself to be the result of nonorder, or chaos ….” -The Individual and…

  • 59th Talk with Rita – 3-6-2015

    Friday March 6, 2015 F: 12:30 a.m. I might as well talk to Rita now, rather than try to go to sleep again. That a good idea, Miss Rita? R: No harm in trying. F: Okay, let’s go. [From Ann: “I wondered if it would be possible to ask Rita some questions about wellness and…

  • 60th Talk with Rita – 3-7-2015

    Saturday March 7, 2015 F: 7 a.m. Feels pretty leisurely, not waking up till nearly seven. Miss Rita, ready to go? R: Certainly. It isn’t as though doing any one thing prevents us from also doing another. F: Not news to me, of course, but maybe sometime we can go into that for those who…

  • 61st talk with Rita – 3-8-2015

    Sunday March 8, 2015 F: 4:45 a.m. EDT. Miss Rita, shall we tackle Bob’s questions? R: Yes, then perhaps yours, if we have time and you focus your generalized question so that we may find a specific angle of approach, for of course it is a huge subject. F: Very well, here are Bob’s. [Bob…

  • Always a new rabbit hole

    In cleaning up the manuscript of Rita’s World – getting ready to get it to Bob Friedman – I noticed a major loose end, and today’s response from Rita indicates that it involves a major revision of what she has been giving us. Eventually, though, not yet. It’s amazing how we never run short of…

  • 62nd talk with Rita – 3-9-2015

    Monday March 9, 2015 F: (2:30 a.m. EDT) So, Miss Rita, we have another question queued up, but I think I want to ask you something instead. And, just as when you and I used to be talking with “the guys,” I can’t help wondering how much is my idea and how much is planted.…
