Thursday, September 30, 2021 5:25 a.m. A very good session, yesterday. More on willpower, today, or something else? Set your switches, change your viewpoint. Okay. I don’t remember when I forgot, yesterday. Doesn’t matter, so long as you get back onto the horse. That’s true of most things. Yesterday in our ILC meeting we did…

Friday, October 1, 2021 5 a.m. Have we finished with the four topics you proposed to cover, some time ago? You might set down your observations from Wednesday. All right. “9:30 a.m. It occurs to me, watching myself deal with asthma: In a way it is as simple as it seems. It is a physical…

Sunday, October 3, 2021 7:10 a.m. Gentlemen, last time you said we should “resume with this question next time,” but I see that I am not quite clear on what you meant by “this question,” specifically. I guess the invisible factors in health? You will notice that remembering to set your switches now automatically reminds…

Monday, October 4, 2021 5:10 a.m. “Remember if you can: The world is here to serve you, as you are here to serve the world.” We ended on that note, but although I got the sense of it at the moment – while directly connected – I see now that it could use some exposition.…

Tuesday, October 5, 2021 8:30 a.m. Very well, my friends, you said today’s topic was TBA – which makes me smile, remembering myself as a boy, consulting the TV schedules and wondering what the TBA program was all about. And, typically, it never occurred to me to ask anybody. You’d have been laughed at, maybe.…

Wednesday, October 6, 2021 10:50 a.m. Okay, guys, a little late this morning, but unless you have something else in the queue, let’s look at what came to me – prompted, I have no doubt – earlier this morning. [1 a.m. It comes to me that this is about connecting greater than before, in three…

Thursday, October 7, 2021 6:30 a.m. So I guess the tip line is open at night now. I got a thought in the middle of the night but I was too tired to get up and write it. I trusted that if it was important, you’d nudge me. Ideas stemming from the main idea started…

Friday, October 8, 2021 5:30 a.m. [After some private kvetching.] Well, in Casablanca everybody’s got problems. As Rick said, “yours may work out.” So let’s change perspectives and see how it looks. Immediately, calmness, a soothing distance, a lack of immediacy, in a way. My ears ringing, particularly the left. The back hurting only a…

Monday, October 11, 2021 6:10 a.m. I thought, last night, let’s get through the second half of Alcott’s “Orphic Sayings.” We went through the first 50 in May, and several months have gone by, just as in his day half were published in “The Dial” and the other half only months later. I was looking…

Tuesday, October 12, 2021 4:50 a.m. A good day’s work yesterday. Shall we continue with Orphic Sayings? [LXI. TEMPTATION.
