• Humanity’s role (from October 6, 2019)

    Sunday, October 6, 2019 Re-reading your final paragraph from yesterday, I see that it may be misread in a way I hadn’t considered. [“The essential difference  {between human and animal}– and we will have to resume on this point – is that humans are in 3D to shape themselves by their choices in a deliberately…

  • Factors in incomprehension (from June 27)

    Monday, June 27, 2022 I am always surprised how few people seem able to actually get inside another point of view. I figured lawyers would have to be able to do it, if only to anticipate challenges. Chess players have to do it, in terms anyway of their opponent’s strategy. Poker players must be able…

  • Judging guidance (from Nov. 14, 2019)

    Thursday, November 14, 2019 So let’s begin with the commentary you promised yesterday. [4:40 a.m. Jim Austin read “impersonally originating emotion” to mean impersonal in nature, which I don’t think is what you meant. [No. Impersonally originating – that is, they did not originate in 3D individuals. But he and his guidance are quite right…

  • Truth changes (from Nov. 16, 2021)

    Tuesday, November 16, 2021 Gentlemen, you said yesterday that no religion is the final word, and I got that this is partly because nobody ever gets it entirely right and partly because things don’t stand still, so that what is new ground one day is old-fashioned another day. It isn’t so much about “old fashioned”…

  • Internal and external (from Jan 21 and 22, 2020)

    Internal and external (from Jan 21 and 22, 2020) Tuesday, January 21, 2020 Dealing with the “external” world as if it were disconnected to your own internally experienced world is a very common error. We thought it would be as well to provide the point of view that would allow people to correct it for…

  • Continuity

    Tuesday, November 22, 2022 4:20 a.m. Let’s see how much I can bring back. Sinking though a web of associations, returning up the same web if something calls me back. Experiencing, truly, but all mental construction, equally truly. And what we are helps determine how we drift and what we associate. “Real life” isn’t actually…

  • Perception and preference

    Friday, November 25, 2022 3:25 a.m. Perhaps time to pause working on the novel and resume my conversation about continuity from the other day (Tuesday). Let’s center on the internal and external (the body as both self and other) as I am experiencing it, with a nod toward the memory process again. Starting with the…

  • Sleep as synchronization (from April 2. 2019)

    Tuesday, April 2, 2019 4:50 a.m. I seem to be sleeping better, these days. Not up every hour or two, two or three times, before I can get several hours’ sleep in a row. Anything we should talk about, before we think some more about the book? [The guys are helping me plot another novel.]…

  • It’s up to us (from Nov. 20, 2021)

    Saturday, November 20, 2021 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? That is…

  • Revisiting the river

    Tuesday, November 29, 2022 5:45 a.m. Guys, I find a request for comment that I don’t remember putting to you. It actually goes back to August 10, an email from Laura Francis to the Voyagers Mailing List. I was gong to summarize it, but I see you want me to quote it in full. August…
