How to pass through the threshold
Saturday, November 20, 2021 7:10 a.m. I had a thought for a session, overnight. What can you say to help people who may have gone through the threshold of a new way of being, but have done so (in so far as they realize it) only in intent, and have not yet realized any change?…

Life more abundantly: Practical advice
Monday, November 22, 2021 4:50 a.m. So, my friends, I get that you wish to talk about ways toward life more abundantly. Do proceed. It is not a matter of magic formulas, but of rules of thumb, of first principles. To go east, you don’t go west. To become this, you don’t spend your life…

Preserving consciousness from automatism
Tuesday, November 23, 2021 3:05 a.m. Very well, my friends, you said today’s topic was to be announced. Have you decided? Slide-switches? Noted. Proceed, then.

A unique window
Wednesday, November 24, 2021 7 a.m. My friends, I found nothing to cite in the Gospel of Mark. Lattimore says that gospel was written down first, some time after 64 AD, and was relied upon by the authors of Matthew and Luke. I am reading other things, so only got a little into Matthew. Do…

Individual and representative
Sunday, November 28, 2021 4 a.m. I wondered, overnight, if I should ask Dr. Jung to comment on the difference between trying to understand The Cosmic Doctrine, say, and any of his own works, which I find so much easier to understand. But I’m not sure this is a valid request. One way to find…

Three ways of seeing ourselves
Monday, November 29, 2021 6:45 a.m. Gentlemen, what does it mean for me, that I can read Carl Jung easily, and Dion Fortune’s novels easily, but not her non-fiction material? How is it that when I read Seth I understand and agree, but then cannot read much of him? Well, don’t tell me, I’ll tell…
