• Remembering a sacrament

    Friday, May 27, 2022 5:35 a.m. Let’s play around a little with the four kinds of memory we discussed yesterday. Lying in bed, I could see that they could be divided for the purposes f analysis – quite validly – but in practice were likely to phase in and out, in the same way other…

  • An excellent and entertaining novel

    Some people tell me that they don’t read novels.  I have never been able to understand that. Not only are novels great fun, they often teach you things that would be very hard to assimilate in any other way. Case in point, my friend Charles Sides’ second novel, A Portal to Myself. A friend who read…

  • A jolt

    A jolt Sunday, May 29, 2022 5:45 a.m. John F. Kennedy’s birthday. If it hadn’t come so close to Memorial Day, I imagine it would have become a national holiday in 1964. My experiment with memory the other day proved what I already knew. My facts were wrong in detail, and the emotional point was…

  • Remembering, and judging

    Sunday, May 29, 2022, 8:25 p.m. Sitting quietly and starting with one thought proves quite doable. I sat experiencing something hurting – already I forget what it was – and I let my mind wander around the theme of injuries, and the memories emerged swiftly and easily. I won’t try to reproduce the sequence, but…

  • Deciphering the dream of 3D life

    Tuesday, May 31, 2022 6:15 a.m. I’m awake if you are, guys, but I’m sort of blank, so I hope you have something in mind. Let’s talk about I Ching, then. All right. F, R. C, P. As you know, I have started reading the Wilhelm/Baynes version that my brother gave me 40 years ago.…

  • Following memories

    Wednesday, June 1, 2022 6:05 a.m. A long, long involved dream last night that went on forever, and was shaped. That is, the dream-weaver added things at the end that it had thrown in at the beginning, surprising me. Can’t remember anything about it but the psychiatrist escorting me first in through concealed doors, then,…

  • Cooperation with non-3D

    Thursday, June 2, 2022 6:15 a.m. A very good ILC group session yesterday, and it had something of the flavor of a joint production – a TGU/3D Theater Production, if you will. That is, it was “my” idea to center on people’s reactions to bad news, and how they dealt with those reactions, but I…

  • Dreaming and waking life

    Friday, June 3, 2022 5:30 a.m. A long involved dream using some of the characters from NCIS. I could have given a precis perhaps if I had come to this directly. It had to do with yarning, I think – telling yarns. And why should I have a part of an old Leonard Cohen song…

  • Dreaming, healing, and choosing

    Saturday, June 4, 2022 6:15 a.m. Morning, gentlemen. I’ll set for maximum focus, receptivity, clarity and presence, and perhaps you can answer Martha’s question. “I’d love to hear more about how dreams are shaped and how the dream weavers put together plotlines and props. Maybe they’d do a session on the mechanics of dreams?” A session…

  • The mechanics of dreaming

    Sunday, June 5, 2022 6 a.m. Gentlemen, Martha’s question that you addressed also asked about “the mechanics of dreams,” which I take to mean, the process per se. Are you up to addressing that? We will address as much as seems practical, as much as has practical application to your lives. As you know, we…
