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 don’t want to keep on about the subject unless that’s on the Upstairs agenda. What do we talk about today, Papa?

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 enter without having to contend with the ripples and eddies of a functioning conscious mind as he dictated his books. That’s not our situation here. Here, your interaction is a part of the process, which adds complications that have both helpful and non-helpful effects.

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 you perceive it, is that although the information will be read in easy succession, so that what took you a week to bring forth may be read in one setting, you as you bring it forth cannot remember even the previous day’s information, let alone a week’s worth or the entire picture. But after all, this is only your usual situation in life, living in time-slices, concentrating on each successive stone in the mosaic, unable to sit far enough away to see it in an over-all view. There’s nothing wrong with it; this is how it should be. You do the detail work, we guide the pattern, and at the end you can read the final product (or, in the case of a writer, read and reshape) and perhaps for the first time see what you have been doing as it relates to itself, one piece to another, and as it relates to life.

6:15 AM. Yesterday mid-day I was sitting at the kitchen counter, reading the end of [Reynolds’] The Homecoming, when an impulse to pick up journal and pen resulted in the day’s second entry — to my delight. A nice gift, Papa, and already two people from my little list e-mailed me to say that it meant something to them individually. And why not? One is an artist and you described the inner satisfaction of an artist’s life whether gardening or cooking or whatever — life lived in two worlds simultaneously. And another has had extensive shaman’s training, which comes to the same thing. So — thank you.
And of course it has not escaped me that this time you came unbidden — out of the blue — and that the content delivery and style of your message was less me and more you. I’m very glad to serve as conduit, and not because you were famous but because we were friends.
You heard your hesitation, there? Before you wrote “were friends” you began to write “are friends” with a different meaning.
In going through previous entries, I found this which I thought was wonderfully evocative. It came via ILC (Intuitive Linked Communication), so of course there is nothing to back it up but whether it resonates. But — read it!

6:45 AM. Good morning, Papa. And Dr. Jung and any others who are participating. Who’s up?
[EH] Let’s keep going while we are going well.
Okay with me, to put it mildly.
This talk of individuals as being more like communities has not been for the purpose of filling time. The whole dialogue process — extending now more than 4 1/2 years in this new form, and more than 20 in its earlier apprentice stages —
[Went wandering; lost the thread. Sorry.]
The short of it is, we are moving in a certain direction and you are moving with us in that direction, and both halves of the process are meant to instruct and to encourage. We are bringing in new concepts; you are experiencing how it feels to receive them, which is part of the information.

All right, it’s about 5 AM. Anybody up besides me? What shall we talk about?
You’ll notice that the first question, being rhetorical, couldn’t receive response, and the second, being direct and pointed, can. This is so in general, communicating between the worlds as people say, or between the sides as you sometimes say. Now, many times an implied question lies between two people, or a continuation of a previously begun topic has the floor, but when nothing is next, blankness may follow until something is next. All this, of course, unless it is we on the other side who are setting the agenda.
