• 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. There can come a time when what has been a helpful habit and procedure becomes by its very repetition a potential detriment. What had been alive may become rote, and…

  • 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…

  • Dion Fortune quote from The Demon Lover

    Thursday, November 25, 2021 6:25 a.m. In The Demon Lover, as in her other novels, Dion Fortune gives so clear a description of realities the guys have given us, that the similarity or identity of the two sets of teachings is plain. Someone not having had the guys’ explanations might not find her statements so…

  • Truth, schools, and the individual

    Friday, November 26, 2021 6:25 a.m. My friends, have you decided on a topic? We have never left the topic, in one sense, and every side-trail is merely a look at additional aspects of the one central theme of, What is life and what is your part of life and what does it all mean…

  • Service and participation

    Saturday, November 27, 2021 [At the end of this session, the guys suggest I include these earlier entries.] [ Friday night:] I am not really understanding any of The Cosmic Doctrine. I should confer with the guys tomorrow. Is it hopeless for me? Not my thing? What? Watched a video, New Thinking Allowed, Jeffrey Mishlove…

  • 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…

  • Questions about yesterday’s session

    Tuesday, November 30, 2021 8 a.m. Gentlemen, if you have something on your minds, proceed. Otherwise, I made a list of five questions that occur to me about yesterday’s. Inspection and questioning is very much to be encouraged. You will find that it aids the understanding. First question? Interestingly, I think I’m going to adopt…
