Saturday, May 1, 2021 5:10 a.m. Very well, my friends. Shall we continue? You seem to be following your own thread, your own line of inquiry. We are merely pursuing the question of influencing. How one influences others and is influenced by others. How we interrelate, I suppose you are saying. Well, it is hardly…

TGU on inner and outer worlds Sunday, May 2, 2021 6:35 a.m. Gentlemen, anything you’d care to discuss this morning? Your reading could serve as a window on the way 3D lives function. If you say so. Go ahead. List what you have been reading now and then, all at the same time, some right…

Monday, May 3, 2021 4:10 a.m. So, this morning I awaken to the word “chetyre,” which is Russian for “four.” Russian, now? And what is it, an alarm clock? We remind you, the workings of the things that surface in consciousness are not necessarily subject to reason, and rational explanation. Sometimes a cigar is just…

Tuesday, May 4, 2021 5:55 a.m.  I don’t have any topic in mind, particularly. Do you? You may take the day off, if you wish. Yes, but if I don’t? We could talk about what you say is your “so-called career.” Let’s do that. What you mean is, your inability to find a secure niche…

Thursday, May 6, 2021 5:15 a.m. I get the feeling that, as Hemingway put it, there are “a few practical things to be said.” That is, that if I could just focus on them, I would remember that we were in the middle of some discussion. But nothing comes to mind, so if you don’t…

Friday, May 7, 2021 5:30 a.m. Yesterday you deferred until today the question of what makes us able or unable to do something great. So, you’re on. Remember, this question is in the context of a feeling you have had, a feeling of uneasiness, of your being not quite likely to do something great, only…

Saturday, May 8, 2021 3:45 a.m. So, last time you said we could continue our discussion by looking into the question of how, if all paths are good, there can be right and wrong. Also, how we can tell one from the other. But you are not quite awake enough. Give the coffee a few…

Sunday, May 9, 2021 4:45 a.m. Can we go back to the implied conflict between “All paths are good” and our own ability and necessity to choose? All paths are good. That is not the same as saying all destinations are good, nor that all values are good. It isn’t? Why would you think it…

Monday, May 10, 2021 5:45 a.m. I think we could begin looking at Bronson Alcott’s Orphic Sayings, but first, you wanted to discuss values, to finish our consideration of the connection between “All paths are good” and free will? We said “if you wish.” We might as well look at it. If not all destinations…

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 [After yesterday’s session, I had read the first 25 sayings and noted to myself, “I can see why Emerson esteemed him yet most people were roused to a great impatience. He tries to hit too high a note and sustain it at length. All right, these are compressed statements, but compare…
