• Black Box Session 11-17-00 (1)

    Session ten of ten Friday, November 17, 2000 Background For this session only, Skip video-taped the monitor so I could see later what was going on real-time rather than only in the summary graph. I went into the session without any change in intent, still ready to receive whatever they had to give; still receptive…

  • Society and the soul, and you

    “And I thought sitting up awake in the African night that I knew nothing about the soul at all. People were always talking about it and writing of it, but who knew about it? I did not know anyone who knew anything of it nor whether there was such a thing…. Once I had thought…

  • Your impact on the world

    Some while ago I had this exchange with my friend John King that seems worth passing along, because it applies not just to him and me, but to us all. It started with him quoting something I said in a blog: > What was true for him is true for us. We don’t necessarily know…

  • Black Box Session 11-17-00 (2)

     Session ten of ten continued  Friday, November 17, 2000 [In focus 23, by request] F: [pause] Strong clamping band around my head. [pause] Standing on a stairway or an entryway, just watching the people go by, a lot of ‘em, constantly. Like in a big convention center. [pause] They’ve all got their own thoughts, so…

  • Using our time

  • Themes from 10 black box sessions in 2000

    Even at the time I could see that the series of 10 black box sessions that Skip Atwater and I did in September, October, and November, 2000, had been orchestrated from the other side. I knew that in some ways I was a different person by Thanksgiving that I had been on Labor Day. And…

  • Black Box session 08-03-01 (1)

    After we finished the ten prep sessions  that stretched from September into November, 2000, Skip Atwater and I decided we would take a break before starting another series of ten. For reasons I no longer remember, that break stretched on and on, until Rita Warren gave me another prep session as a birthday present. today…

  • A working model of minds on the other side

    Saturday, June 30, 2007 Nearly 10 a.m. awoke thinking of something worth recording here, but too many things between awakening and picking up the pen. That’s why I often do my morning’s work before I shower and shave. So — if one of you splendid gentlemen will deign to get on the line and remind…

  • Black Box session 08-03-01 (2)

    [change sides of tape] F: [sigh] The thought came, “well, maybe that’s what’s wrong with my breathing,” and then as I started to say it, there was a wheeze. [chuckle] Too simple, maybe. [sigh] Now I’m freezing. [pause] You gentlemen care to tell me anything that will persuade me whether I was making that up…
