• Experiencing and expressing

    Wednesday, September 8, 2021 7:50 a.m. Hard time waking up, today. Thought I was up, started the coffee maker, fell back to sleep till just now. Luxuriously late start. So, how about if we go back to your exposition we interrupted to take a couple of questions? The pursuit is life more abundantly, and you…

  • Actions and consequences

    Thursday, September 9, 2021 9:50 a.m. I don’t know, do I even want to do this? This would make the fourth try since 10 of 5 this morning, and I haven’t gotten anywhere yet. A day off, maybe? It’s up to you, as always. Sure, it’s up to me, only if I say no, you…

  • Strands in the making of moods

    Friday, September 10, 2021 7:05 a.m. I guess I am ready if you are. Strange to find it hard to wake up, and to be starting so late. Physically a good sign, I suppose. Let us discuss your emotional situation in abstract terms. You drive the pen, you transcribe the session: Obviously nothing goes on…

  • A practical way to overcome depression

    Saturday, September 11, 2021 7:15 a.m. The question was, when we don’t have enough energy to get out of our depression, what do we do? And I already know the answer, or at least part of it. I think you will know best how to convey the sense of it to others in various starting-places.…

  • Strands: Roots and Tendrils

    Sunday, September 12, 2021 6:40 a.m. Very well, guys, what’s your preference? I’d say choose between strands and specialization, but the other two remain possibilities. It’s your call, really. The difficulty here is merely that the passage of time blurs the continuity of the message: You find it hard to hold it all in mind,…

  • The effects of the interconnection of strands

    Monday, September 13, 2021 3:35 a.m. Very well, gentlemen, you said you will continue by discussing interaction among tendrils, remembering that we are composed of more than one strand. Productive complications, you said. It gets very complicated to hold in mind. Let’s begin with bullet-points, and see how we do. We may need more than…

  • 3D/non-3D links

    Tuesday, September 14, 2021 5:30 a.m. To proceed – ? Comments on Dirk’s comment on yesterday’s? [Frank, [Very good. This is the ‘tapestry’ I have attempted to describe. [Caught as we are, we are unable to move easily outside of ourselves in our various relationships to ‘see’ the tapestry as a whole or even significant…

  • Specialization

    Wednesday, September 15, 2021 10:10 a.m. Why is playing hookey from something you love doing nevertheless satisfying? I first began trying to hold today’s conversation four hours ago, nearly, and I have been consciously fooling around ever since, doing anything and everything but signing on. I wonder why. Gentlemen, what’s on your agenda today? The…

  • Beginning on the meaning of any one life

    Thursday, September 16, 2021 7:10 a.m. “The meaning of any one life,” you said (in opposition to “the meaning of life” that you will address at another time). Yes, although to discuss either is to implicitly discuss the other as well. So I assumed. In all this, remember the touchstone: “As above, so below.” Also,…

  • The meaning of any one life, continuing

    Friday, September 17, 2021 7:30 a.m. So, to continue on “The meaning of any one life.” Slide-switches? Right. Okay. On the one hand, “Man is the measure of all things.” On the other, every new layer of development is in effect a new form, a new kind of creature. Try to keep in mind that…
