Sunday, June 20, 2021 2:50 a.m. So, we die, and we remember how vast we are. And –. And at the same time you realize that you aren’t as solid as you thought you were, either. That is, the external tie that bound you – your body – is no more. Now do you or…

Monday, June 21, 2021 1:45 a.m. So you said, “How do matters proceed around us, carrying us,” when death has set us free from our sense of ourselves as individuals. Yes, and we put it just that way because the one single feeling that overwhelms all others at that moment is that you as individual…

Tuesday, June 22, 2021 3:50 a.m. A push-pull, the wish to get the information, the body’s reluctance to be prodded into action. And even this is not a clear division, as within each is the seed of the other. All right, then. The prospect that opens up before us at the moment we make it…

Wednesday, June 23, 2021 5:50 a.m. So somehow you intend to use my thoughts about Jefferson’s morning room and Hemingway’s Key West writing room as your jumping-off place. I’ll be interested to see how you do it. The link is to the continuing existence of the shared subjectivity, a fact often disregarded when people are…

Thursday, June 24, 2021 4:05 a.m. So – psychometry –. Everything changes when your assumptions change. Instead of your having to believe in something despite the prevailing theory, suddenly you can see that you were right to believe in it, and that the old theory was wrong. I know where this is going, but I…

Friday, June 25, 2021 2:40 a.m. “Disassembly and the separate consciousness of what had been units.” You understand what we mean by that? Very vaguely. I’d hate to have to try to put it into words. Well, that’s our job, isn’t it? But as an orienting initial image, remember that what you are – as…

Saturday, June 26, 2021 2:55 a.m. The future life of strands? You’d be better off to think of it as the future life of strands and the future life as shaped by strands, and the future life as it continues with and without reference to strands. As usual, you’re oversimplifying things, aren’t you? We smile…

Sunday, June 27, 2021 3:355 a.m. Half a dozen questions on strands from Bill Ebeltoft and Jane Coleman on behalf of their small ILC group of four that have been meeting weekly via Zoom. No reason to delay dealing with them, I imagine. “Question 1: If a soul doesn’t crystallize upon death and disassembles into…

Monday, June 28, 2021 3 a.m. Your takeoff on Jane Coleman’s question really seems to me to have shed great light on the subject of “What are we doing here, Why are things as they are, What are we accomplishing?” And yet it is only what you told Rita and me from the first, 20…

Tuesday, June 29, 2021 4:05 a.m. It’s mildly frustrating, to feel each time that we have to begin again, rather than smoothly continuing. The starting-point that seemed evident yesterday – “our unknown or under-recognized strands having their rights too” – does not seem evident at this moment. But perhaps the continuity is more evident to…
