• Jane Roberts?

    [Fort some time now, I haven’t posted my sessions here, wanting to post previous series, such as the set I call Only Somewhat Real, without interruption. But now we can return to our previously scheduled programming, so to speak.] Thursday, March 4, 2021 7:45 a.m. It was suggested that I contact Jane Roberts. Interesting idea.…

  • Jane Roberts on suffering and threads

    Saturday, March 6, 2021 7:15 a.m. Another day, to do what? It is a strange way of being, not only not needing to do things, but having nothing I am burning to do. I can’t say it is very satisfying. More like a long coda – a too-long coda – to a life that was…

  • Papa’s Trial to be published

    Good news! My novel about Hemingway is to be published soon my SNN Publishing, a company that is owned by my friend Chris Nelson. I very much wanted Papa’s Trial to come out before the Ken Burns special aired, and now it looks like that will happen. The book’s subtitle, Hemingway in the Afterlife, will give…

  • TGU on our judging ourselves

    Friday, March 26, 2021 5:50 a.m. For some reason, I wake with the idea that you’ve got something you’d like to say. Go ahead, I’m all ears. Actually, you woke up thinking of Papa’s Trial. I did. Wondering if this time a book of yours would hit, despite your not doing anything to let it…

  • TGU on the virus

    Sunday, March 28, 2021 5:20 a.m. I suppose I ought to ask if you guys have something you’d like to say this morning. You will have overheard my email back-and-forth with Dirk over the virus and vaccines. I wonder what your two cents’ worth may be. Summarize the positions, briefly. I wondered: Given that the…

  • TGU and the virus, continued

    Monday, March 29, 2021 4:50 a.m. Very well, my friends, yesterday we began something. I have ben waiting until we could resume. So – how do we best deal with what you call the unsummoned opportunity, the virus and its effects. Remember, we posed the question: “Where did it come from, and why, and how…

  • TGU on our somewhat real lives

    Tuesday, March 30, 2021 [I had a dream that turned lucid, always a lovely experience, and remarked upon it in my journal, which I don’t transcribe here.] 6:45 a.m. And so, lucid dream aside, I’m ready for more on the virus and our situation, if that’s what you care to provide. The lucid dream and…

  • TGU on the virus and society – 3

    Wednesday, March 31, 2021 5:40 a.m. A couple of days ago, we were discussing the virus and society, and you ended by saying, “Pay attention,” in response to my query as to what we might do. Yesterday we went off on a different tack, but I want to come back to that. You were comparing…

  • TGU on the virus and society – 4

    Thursday, April 1, 2021 4:35 a.m. Let’s try, anyway. You are familiar with the social effects of the Black Death upon Western European society. [I had to look it up: Mid 1300s.] I am slightly. The only thing I real know about it is that losing such a large percentage of their population in England…

  • TGU on our social transformation

    Friday, April 2, 2021 2:40 a.m. Shall we continue on the subject of the virus and society, or do you wish to go on to something else? In your conversation yesterday you said, rightly, that any social transformation, well-intended or not, well-aimed or not, is necessarily trivial compared to the transformation we are discussing. I…
