Karma and free will (edited from April 15, 2019)
Monday, April 15, 2019 Gentlemen, yesterday you said a phrase that struck me: “freeing his will from his karma (so to speak.”) You don’t want to put that conversation out for everyone to see, but there isn’t any reason why you can’t quote a part of it. [But there’s a point to be made here:…

2022-12-11 Dealing with Karma (from Sept. 5, 2021)
In going through old conversations (putting together what I hope will be another book, perhaps to be called Life More Abundantly) I was struck by this disquisition on karma delivered as a response to a question by Louisa Calio. Sunday, September 5, 2021 Louisa’s question: [I am particularly interested in karma and this idea of pliable…

Factors in overcoming problems
Sunday, December 11, 2022 6 a.m. Louisa has a question I am not sure I understand. [Find this {“Karma and free will”} right on target for some messages I have again received about becoming more in control of the unconscious forces pushing and pulling in my life. While meditation has been a great tool in…

On willpower and how it plays out (edited from Sept. 5, 2019)
All right, friends. Anything for us this morning, or shall I go back to reading? Or – ghastly thought! – even back to working? Nobody can kick you into working if you don’t want to. It’s in what you want. I know. Although, that always reverts to “Which you?” For you, it does. For another,…

Some geese to juggle (from Jan. 10, 2018)
Wednesday, January 10, 2018 I made a note in the middle of the night to ask for an outline of the precis that might serve as an intro to this new way of seeing the world. But perhaps you have other plans? We can give you general orienting ideas, but the specifics must be done…

Healing, insight, and disentanglement (from Oct. 6, 2021)
It comes to me that this is about connecting in three ways. Along our strands; in connection with our non-3D self that is permanent (i.e. not merely conditions of resonance); with submerged or overlooked aspects of our 3D mind, what people call the subconscious. Three dimensions, not just one. Each has its own characteristics. Perhaps…

Glassblowing and our lives (edited from Jan. 18, 2018
Glassblowing was an appropriate analogy for the interplay of compound beings and the vast impersonal forces that are beyond personality or easily discerned individuality. Hold the visual image this calls forth. It may remind you that life is greater, wider, deeper, more intricate, more mysterious, than it sometimes appears in 3D. It will also remind…

Unsub (from Dec. 18, 2021)
Unsub Saturday, December 18, 2021 6 a.m. I got up no fewer than four times to record fragments of dreams that in some way seem to form one dream. Can you help me with this, or do we have other fish to fry? Other than the word “unsub” which remains mysterious to you, you see…

Three images (edited from Feb. 2, 2020)
Sunday February 2, 2020 Last night you said we should start with the image of us in 3D as ships upon the sea. We wonder if we should not be proceeding more with images and less with descriptions of relationships. An attractive idea, but impossible. Images require explanation, as explanation requires images to put it…

Butter, not margarine
Tuesday, December 20, 2022 5:15 a.m. Unsub. Can we look again at what the word meant? It came in the context of a dream, Dec. 18, 2021, and I tried to remember (for I had known in the dream) what it meant. A couple of people sent suggestions and I told one of them yesterday…
