• Orphic Saying 47

    Friday, May 21, 2021 3:15 a.m. XLVII. ACTUAL AND IDEAL. The actual and ideal are twins of one mother, Reality, who failing to incarnate her conceptions in time, meanwhile contents herself with admiring in each the complement of the other, herself integrant of both. Alway are the divine Gemini intertwined; Pan and Psyche, man and…

  • Orphic Saying 47 continued

    Saturday, May 22, 2021 3 a.m. So we will continue on saying 47 of Alcott’s Orphic Sayings. When we left off, you seemed at the point of going into a very interesting discussion of actual v. real as it played out – and is playing out – in our civilization. (“Civilization so-called,” I am often…

  • Another nice review

    Every review helps, but I am particularly proud of this one, by my sister. Before she even finished the book – which she bought right away – she called me up and asked me if I thought this was my best work. I had to think about it, then said it was definitely one of…

  • Orphic Sayings 48 through 50

    Sunday, May 23, 2021 3:10 a.m. On to Alcott’s 48th saying, remembering to connect it to what has preceded it, mainly his distinction between Actual and Ideal – or, as we might put it, between 3D and non-3D. XLVIII. BEAUTY. All departures from perfect beauty are degradations of the divine image. God is the one…

  • TGU on changing the past

    Monday, May 24, 2021 10:30 a.m. I just realized (Seth: The Way Toward Health, p. 284), there is an easier explanation of miracles than the one I worked out, or that the guys gave me, of multiple versions of our lives. Seth: “… because of the nature of simultaneous time, new beliefs in the present…

  • Rewriting Alcott

    Tuesday, May 25, 2021 5 a.m. Well, you never know. We struggled, yesterday, and I wasn’t sure how well we had done, but apparently our result was helpful. I think maybe I’ll skip doing a session today and instead will post, as an interim measure, my rewriting of Alcott’s first ten Orphic Sayings – see…

  • TGU on the use of memories

    Wednesday, May 26, 2021 5:20 a.m. The smallest disruption of routine can send you off the rails. I am still waiting for my printer’s cartridge to arrive through the mail, and in the absence of being able to print out work materials, I am sort of stumped. Revising on the computer isn’t the same thing…

  • How do we live in continuous integration?

    How do we live in continuous integration? For several months, a group of us who wish to work on ourselves have been meeting on Wednesdays via Zoom. Our continuing agenda includes functioning as a temporary group mind, and strengthening our perceptions of our everyday connection to the non-3D. Our routine has come to include a…

  • The larger mental world

    Friday, May 28, 2021 5:45 a.m. A very interesting, intelligent, entertaining dream, still in progress as I woke up, and of course gone. So much of our life proceeds beyond our conscious awareness. I wonder why. In fact, I wonder – hard to phrase this clearly – I wonder if non-3D awareness doesn’t have a…

  • TGU: attention and energy

    Saturday, May 29, 2021 3:25 a.m. [John F. Kennedy’s birthday. It was never in the cards for him to live long, but he would have been 104 today. Someone said that he, and his son, were given every gift except length of years, but length of years per se would have been, at best, a…
