    Sunday, June 13, 2010 6 AM. All right, boys and girls, here we go again. At least, I’m here if you’re here. Papa, I sort of miss talking to you specifically, but I get that this information is following rules of its own, sort of like a lesson-plan. So, whomever. One of the difficulties, as…

    Monday, June 14, 2010 5:45 AM. All right, Papa, now what? Do you have a “next item on the agenda” to provide you with topics? [TGU] Seth worked that way, but Seth in working with his friend Jane Roberts was working with a blanked slate. She had deliberately vacated the premises so that he could…

    Tuesday, June 15, 2010 5:30 AM. Okay. Ready to go. But I don’t know the topic du jour. One of your friends challenged you to ask us why the attitude we suggested in re the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico didn’t amount to letting people get away with anything and everything. Yes. That…

    Thursday, June 17, 2010 6 AM. I certainly missed doing this, yesterday. And more or less wasted the day. I haven’t yet got used to that “do something else” part of the routine. Stirred up a bit of discussion yesterday. The distinction between discernment and condemnation isn’t all that clear to some people. But I…

    Friday, June 18, 2010 Nearly 6 AM. [I have been doing some informal counseling for friends, and Thursday night’s session provided an example of how we can get trapped in ways of seeing things that prevent us from seeing straight. Since I work from the assumption that anyone on the other side that we are…

    Saturday, June 19, 2010 6:50 AM. All right, Papa — or anyone with business for the morning. Your life is changing — everyone’s life is changing — more so than usually. More so both in the sense of “faster” and in the sense of “more extensive.” This is what you wanted, or why come into…

    Sunday, June 20, 2010 4:45 AM. So, Papa, let me pose the question this way. I am more and more inclined to see your essence as a model — not the only model, but one model — of a complete man, intellectually, physically vigorous. Yet there is the negative evidence, your mental problems, for example.…

    Monday, June 21, 2010 5:30 AM. Solstice today. So, to work. Yesterday produced a couple of things I didn’t expect, not least that Carl Jung rather than Ernest Hemingway should start off. Perhaps someone could explain to me why it is that after I have written, and orally transcribed, and proofread, and sent out on…

    Tuesday, June 22, 2010 4:30 AM. All right, who’s up? Remember to include yesterday’s insight with this record. All right. I take it that is tying two strands together for purposes of your own. Yesterday I had this thought: In his writing, Hemingway attacked or addressed certain threads, not necessarily certain individuals. Critics looking for…

    Thursday, June 24, 2010 5 AM. I stopped at Barnes and Noble and bought five Fitzgeralds. Re-reading The Great Gatsby first, because it is an old friend, and perhaps will ease me into reading him as his short stories definitely did not. Also, the next volume of Nevins’ history of the Civil War arrived in…
