• Altered states as a way of life

    Sunday, March 13, 2022 3:40 a.m. The process could get complicated. I say, “Let the total self drive,” but suppose the total self wants TGU to drive that day? In the first place, how would I know the difference, in the second place, what difference would it make, in the third place, doesn’t this bring…

  • Data bases

    Monday, March 14, 2022 7:40 a.m. EDT. I thought we’d skip, but maybe not. When I lay back down on the bed a while ago, I found thoughts going through my mind, and I can’t tell any more which are “mine” and which are a word from our sponsor, so to speak. There was a…

  • Working with Alcott

    Wednesday, March 16, 2022 6:10 a.m. Guys, let’s talk about making Orphic Sayings into a book. Setting switches. Maximum F, R, C, P. Look at your manuscript as it exists. As of now I have it in a three-ring binder in sections: All 100 sayings, without commentary. Sessions from May 11 to May 27, examining…

  • How to see in the dark

    Thursday, March 17, 2022 8 a.m. Focus. Receptivity, clarity, presence. And I’ll follow wherever you lead. Glance back at recent topics. No need to discuss your Alcott project. That one, you will do or not do, but you know what you need to know, for the moment. Meanwhile, recapture our larger theme. You can’t just…

  • Associations and consciousness

    Friday, March 18, 2022 5:35 a.m. Leaving it to you to choose the theme, as usual. Setting switches. Go ahead. You woke up with a chain of association of thoughts. You can always examine such associations, whenever they arrive, because they arrive for a reason at that particular time. Don’t let yourself think that anything…

  • Actions and consequences (1)

    Saturday, March 19, 2022 6:45 a.m. Rita died March 19, 2008. As I was sitting on the bed waiting for the coffee to brew, thoughts were going through my mind spurred by who knows what, but using as central excuse the NCIS episode I watched last night. Can we talk about the subject of evil…

  • Actions and consequences (2)

    Sunday, March 20, 2022 5 a.m. Setting switches. F, R, C, P. “Actions and consequences (2)”? We don’t need to do it in order. If you prefer to discuss your realizations since yesterday’s conversation, it won’t interfere. Briefly, anyway. I got that I ought to note down associations as they come to me, and I…

  • Actions and consequences (3)

    Monday, March 21, 2022 6:20 a.m. How easy it is to start a chain of associations! I was tempted (why?) to start this by saying, “Good Morning, Vietnam!” Which of course would lead to Robin Williams and then who knows where. Instead of following that sand pattern, I could look at the pattern formed around…

  • Actions and consequences (4)

    Tuesday, March 22, 2022 5:15 a.m. “Actions and consequences (4),” presumably. Focus, receptivity, clarity, presence. As usual, you experience difficulty in trusting that a given line of development proceeds smoothly. I know that if it depended upon me for continuity, we would likely fail. So I look back, try to get the sense of it…

  • Actions and consequences (5)

    Wednesday, March 23, 2022 8 a.m. I think I’m going to take off today, and spare myself an hour of transcription. Though, come to think of it, I could do a session now and transcribe later. But, maybe not. When I do, though, I should remember my graf on “Heart of Darkness” from last night.…
