Saturday, September 18, 2021 8 a.m. Sort of unpredictably in neutral. Wouldn’t you think the record of so many conversations – published or not published – would be encouraging? Well, they are, in that they reassure me that I haven’t been totally wasting my time, and they aren’t, in that they show so much work…

Monday, September 20, 2021 4:45 a.m. Shall we talk about the nature of strands? We have said our say on that subject, at least for the moment. Let’s talk about the meaning of life. Not any one person’s life, but life. What’s it all about, Alfie? You are showing your age, or mine, anyway. But…

Tuesday, September 21, 2021 3:10 a.m. Very well, my friends, what do we talk about today? Rest and activity, to what end? Setting slide-switches to maximum focus, receptivity, clarity. We have now reached the point where things easily become ungrounded, and yet we wish to keep to one point, which is to provide practical tips…

Thursday, September 23, 2021 7 a.m. Shall we continue with “More than human”? You labeled our last session “preliminary considerations.” So what follows? Slide-switches. Right. Okay, so – ? Has it ever occurred to you that there is a reason, beyond differences in personality or receptivity, why descriptions of the afterlife, and therefore of the…

Friday, September 24, 2021 4:20 a.m. Shall we proceed? As you said, now we segue into the world of theology, and, even more, into the world of speculation about the nature of reality in its largest compass. What else have we been doing all this time? I would have said we were in the world…

Saturday, September 25, 2021 4 a.m. I must say, it seems to me you guys have both religion and sex on the brain. No matter what we discuss, it seems like sooner or later you revert to talking about one or the other, or both. It may occur to you, there could be a reason…

Sunday, September 26, 2021 6:25 a.m. Yesterday you said you would probably continue on external factors limiting our ability to blindly trust the inner voice. You might as well make your comment, to get it out of your focus – and you might remember to set your switches explicitly as well as by habit. Yes.…

Monday, September 27, 2021 6:55 a.m. Yesterday you said that combining the virtues with the values we are here to embody amounts to a set of ideals. I find myself moved to add “objectivity” to my slide-switches. What’s that about? You were seeing yourself from “outside” again at that moment, after an interval of several…

Tuesday, September 28, 2021 5:15 a.m. Setting for maximum focus, receptivity, clarity, objectivity. In re-reading “I am awake at the moment,” I awakened again, and I hope to remain objectively here, watching as I live. Yesterday’s awareness lasted for hours. I don’t know quite when it wore off. Overnight, maybe. But the change is now…

Wednesday, September 29, 2021 6:15 a.m. You suggested discussing willpower. First set your switches, and re-read yesterday’s. All right, I did. You are feeling a reluctance to proceed, and are attributing it to your back hurting and you being tired. Bogus issues, I know. So does this imply that I know what you’re intending to…
