Only Somewhat Real: Sparks
Tuesday, November 21, 2017 Sparks I have no idea where we go from here and can’t remember the theme. No need. That is our job. We’re making things practical, remember. This is less a matter of presenting new material than of presenting various familiar concepts in a new light by presenting them as they relate…

Only Somewhat Real: Consistency and carrier waves
Wednesday, November 22, 2017 Definitely feeling better. A pretty good night’s sleep. Gentlemen? Different reactions What about your reaction to “Beat the Devil”? [Last night, I rediscovered a bookmark to a site offering 60 noir movies, and decided to watch that one.] I can’t say I much cared for it, though it had some funny…

Only Somewhat Real: Final entry
Thursday, November 23, 2017 An end and a beginning All day in the company of Tom Cutter, yesterday. How many times now have I re-read [Nevil Shute’s] Around the Bend, and it is still as fresh as ever. Several people have asked, is this to be a book, and I have said I presume so…

All things end
Yesterday’s blog post, “Only Somewhat Real: Final Entry,” brought us to the end of the series of conversations with the guys upstairs that ceased on November 23, 2017. When it became clear that the series was at an end, I edited the material for readability, and intended to add an Afterword to round it out,…

The interface: Definitions
[Last August, my friend Dirk asked me to ask the guys upstairs how our strands operate our brain-mind mechanism. This question called forth a wealth of information, in nearly daily sessions spanning more than three months. If I had energy enough, I would reshape it into a book. As it is, I shall have to…

The Interface: Initial questions
It seems to me our entire relationship since the beginning has been characterized by your making leading statements that you then abandon (or, I suppose, that I fail to follow up). It is a technique, a strategy. It allows for the rapid sketching-in of information with the promise or potential of greater in-depth exploration at…

The Interface: Conscious, subconscious, and unconscious
We aren’t going to discuss emotion and feeling for their own sake, nor to distinguish our ideas on the subject from those of your civilization, not that we could do that handily, there being so many schools of thought on the subject. And how would it help you if we were somehow able to do…

The interface: A bubble of awareness
Continuing with the initial consideration of conscious, subconscious, unconscious. Probably as we go along we will loop back from time to time and modify or even appear to contradict previous definitions. Remember, everything depends upon how it is seen in context. As context changes, so will the subject of inquiry seem to change – and…

The interface: The unknown platform
Remembering that the various mental states of the 3D world are all, themselves, substates of a greater world, let’s re-examine how things really are, as opposed to how they appear when one carelessly assumes that the 3D is primary. Within the 3D world, looking from within the individual subjective personality, what is called the “unconscious”…

The Interface: The subconscious mind
Now, we have sketched a view of the unconscious level of 3D life as something that normal 3D mentality is not conscious of, rather than that the unconscious is a larger mind that is unconscious of itself. If you have absorbed the implications of this fact, you should find them very encouraging. It is not…
