Awestruck, and perhaps in connection Wednesday, October 26, 2022 5:30 a.m. I am reluctant to ask a factual question, as always, being more comfortable with conceptual ones. But Jane Coleman and Jane Peranteau and I agreed to ask this question, so I will, and we’ll see if you-all can answer it. Presence, receptivity, clarity. What…

Friday, October 28, 2022 4:20 a.m. So let’s look some more at Egypt. I glanced through my photos from 2019 yesterday – only a few of them, not all, by any means – and it did bring it back, a bit. Looking back at Wednesday’s conversation, I am struck with the idea of things being…

Saturday, October 29, 2022 5:45 a.m. Very well, friends: Things as portals. Focusing for maximum presence, receptivity, clarity. Obviously here is no need for us or for you to trace a history of psychometry. Anyone interested can find the trail. But no two people’s experience will bring to the material the same mindset; therefore, no…

Sunday, October 30, 2022 5:45 a.m. Well, guys, shall we return to ancient Egypt and its take on immortality? We could. Or we could address the subject more directly. Or we could instead address other aspects of the same topic, namely the ancient forgotten civilization. Or we could address your present peril. The chances that…

Monday, October 31, 2022 4:40 a.m. Shall we proceed? I think you intended to resume by talking about the difference between what people think 3D life is about, and what it is really for. That is, the nature of life after 3D. Or the nature of the greater life. My very inability to phrase it…

Went to Alderman yesterday, came out with six books on Hemingway and (what I went for primarily) The Owl of Minerva, the autobiography of Gustav Regler, published in 1959. Regler’s times seem so comparable to these. If some equivalent of Nazism isn’t brewing here, I miss my guess. Emotionally it certainly is similar to what…

When I watch shows with particularly evil or arrogant villains, my response to them is – as the writers have intended it to be – “Kill them; they have no place in the world.” It would be useless, of course; new villains spring up all the time. Worse than useless, because you become like the…

Thursday, November 3, 2022 5:15 a.m. The experience of watching the four-part Netflix series on “Bobby Kennedy for President,” and discussing with Paul our experiences of that time, has stirred up feelings I hadn’t visited in a while. A man of 76, confronted with emotions and memories of emotions, images and memories of images of…

Friday, November 4, 2022 6 a.m. Yesterday you said that politicians, for instance, take the reality of the world for granted, “for who would put all that effort into something that was clearly illusory?” and then, immediately, you added, “But that isn’t the end of the story, for artists work hard too, even if they…

Saturday, November 5, 2022 4:10 a.m. I see that your point yesterday is not quite clear. As Jane Coleman said in an email, the penny still haven’t dropped. Care to take another crack at it? Focus, then. Yes. Presence, receptivity, clarity. On Friday, we in effect looked at why people have such different views of…
