• Three stories, an address by Steve Jobs

    This text keeps coming around. I have emailed it to friends more than once. But it’s a great text, and worth preserving, so here it is again. I will just add this. Jobs says, rightly, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is…

  • So You Think Your life Was Wasted (20)

    Perhaps it is as well to say explicitly that the purpose of these extracts of my conversations with the other side is to provide hints to help you live more effectively and joyously. Setting your dials [Friday, January 13, 2006] Well, I don’t know how well connected we are at the moment: I feel pretty…

  • A Holographic Universe?

    It wouldn’t surprise me for a second. In fact, my deepest intuition has told me, for years, that this is exactly the case. This world, the physical 3D so-real-seeming world, is only a projection from a realer world that underlies it. I once, for a matter of moments, “appeared” in that realer world and conversed…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (21)

    Dealing with depression [Saturday, January 14, 2006] 7 a.m. Always, it seems, I wake up with a slight sense of depression. Can’t blame that on having to go to work! Can’t blame it on having to live with someone else that I’m out of harmony with! Probably could blame it on the usual apprehension that…

  • We — in the physical — are focus points

    I have been re-reading my book Chasing Smallwood, because I gave it to someone who hasn’t any background in altered-state communication, and wondered how it would strike the unprepared reader. It had been some time since I’d looked at it, and so I could look at it from a detached perspective. My first reaction was,…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (22)

    [Sunday, January 15, 2006] 6:45 a.m. So. Here we are again. I shied away from that discussion about TGU versus any one of you. Why? It is as if I wasn’t ready to hear it – or as if I hadn’t finished making up the answer! But in fact I don’t know why. So I…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (23)

    Live the knowledge It’s one thing to know a thing abstractly, or theoretically. It’s another thing to know it emotionally as well. And it is yet a third thing, the vital thing, to actually live what you know. As the guys said, a while ago: [Monday, January 16, 2006] It is more than a matter…

  • Elvis Presley: Fame as prison

    For what it’s worth, yes I did communicate with Elvis. At least, I think I did. I made the attempt in response to a joke from Michael Ventura, but this statement of Elvis’ life made perfect sense to me, as perhaps it will to you. Elvis Presley: Fame as prison Friday March 10, 2006 Michael…

  • Spiritual eyes, sexual eyes

    Our matter-benumbed culture makes a commodity of everything it touches, and it is for us, the individuals enmeshed within it, to work our way back to the sacred nature of ourselves and the rest of the world. That is, the spiritual and the sexual are not necessarily adversaries. At their best, they are mutually reinforcing.…

  • So You Think Your Life Was Wasted (24)

    A lack of imagination, and a means of approach Thursday March 16, 2006 (9:15 a.m.) Well, I suppose I should get to work. You splendid gentlemen and ladies – feel free to chime in. Say, while we’re on the subject, is it that I have mentally categorized you as “the gentlemen upstairs,” or “the guys…
