• Virtues and sins, effort and drift

    [It is sometimes so rewarding, re-reading old stuff that I’ve forgotten. These two entries belong together, and repay being read together.] Virtues and sins, effort and drift (from July 6 and 7, 2021)   Tuesday, July 6, 2021 2:40 a.m. Open for business. Bear in mind what we’re doing at the moment. You cannot possibly…

  • Redefining the body

    [I think this material, received in two days last August, is downright brilliant. I can’t know if it is true, of course; all I know is that it illuminated the subject in a way I’d never experienced. Among other things, it explained, almost in passing, why we don’t always experience what we would think of…

  • The physical world

    (This, from Sunday, August 1, 2021) 1:55 a.m. I don’t need to re-read past sessions to find a suggested theme. I think we need a better description of the external world as shared subjectivity. What we have said to date apparently is not clear enough for everybody. Maximum focus and receptivity. I guess, maximum clarity…

  • Meriwether Lewis seconds the motion (from Dec. 6, 2021)

    [Systematically re-reading past conversations is proving to be as illuminating as it is engaging.] Meriwether Lewis seconds the motion Monday, December 6, 2021 6:45 a.m. Meriwether Lewis’s birthday reflections at 31 have a certain relevance for members of our list, given recent thoughts from TGU. “[August 18, 1805] This day I completed my thirty-first year,…

  • Reminders and encouragement (from Sept. 2, 2021)

    [As I re-read old entries, I am noting those that I think will be most valuable to people today. This is one.] Thursday, September 2, 2021 3:30 a.m. Cool enough (63 degrees outside) that I need a robe and enjoy its warmth. A touch of unease in my lungs. Must be September. You said to…

  • The flickering reality

    The flickering reality Wednesday, August 10, 2022 5:05 a.m. I awaken from a strange experience, something between a dream and a reliving. Mostly gone now. A sense of me among a few other soldiers, edging into town, the rebs edging out, nobody wanting to start something that could get out of hand. Well, friends, I…

  • The interpenetration of minds

    Condensed from five sessions, Dec. 21 through Dec. 25, 2021 Until now, in discussing the temporary joint mind, we have talked about the sharing of ideas and, to a lesser degree, of feeling. Let’s look a little deeper. We will use as our entry-point the idea of your being open to influence by other minds not…

  • A practical way to overcome depression (from Sept 11, 2021)

    [From last September, a helping hand today] Saturday, September 11, 2021 7:15 a.m. The question was, when we don’t have enough energy to get out of our depression, what do we do? And I already know the answer, or at least part of it. I think you will know best how to convey the sense…

  • Health and life – How to explore (from October, 2021)

    [From Oct. 3 and 4, 2021, slightly edited] 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…

  • 3D and non-3D perspectives on consequences

    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.…
