(1988) Nothing can happen that shouldn't happen
(because of the way things work).
Anything and everything that happens
flows from the combination of patterns and energy
nourished and controlled by minds
often our minds, sometimes only our minds,
but never without a contribution by our minds,
if what happens lies within our experience.

On Overcoming Darkness
(1989) The name of this session is On Overcoming Darkness.
And what I am going to appeal, by way of an analogy,
is I am going to appeal to the nature of an eclipse
and I am going to appeal to the nature of what are called occultations.
The word "occult" means hidden.
Occultations are things that occur, in astronomical terms,
as a result of one body getting in front of another
so that you can't see.
And then I want the play of a phrase:
"There is no darkness, only blindness."

(1989) Fear withdraws. Fear closes off. Fear attempts to conserve or to keep.
The fearful believe that what threatens to change them will diminish them. Fear believes in keeping what you have and staying what you are.
Fear believes that life is a matter of endurance.
Fear is sometimes ferocious. Ferocity is the attempt to hold others away.
This yields isolation.
Because isolation yields a stagnation, a numbness, an insensitivity,
the appearance is one of immobility, lameness, a crippling walk,
a blundering blindness.

(1989) The title of the session tonight
is Hypnosis and the Structures of Consciousness.
Some of the references I am making tonight
are from a textbook by Simeon Edmunds
on Hypnotism and Psychic Phenomena.
He goes through an historical development
of the whole subject of hypnosis,
and then discusses the nature of hypnosis
and its technique and some of the hypnotic phenomena
and post-hypnotic phenomena.

(1989) I guess we should mark the day in some special way
because it's a day where we have begun to respond
to the meditation on Sunday and the idea of vital nearness.
And whether or not any of you remember, consciously,
the content of the session on Sunday,
we began to deal with why there are such things as special places to be
and maybe the concept within the Castenada material,
where don Juan asked Carlos Castenada to roll around on the porch
and find his spot.

Reality Lab
Now, just think of some of the principles that we've been following here. We want everything we do, everything we are, to be an acknowledgement of as much of the universe as we can, All That Is. We want to understand that our life is part of all life. Our life is dependent upon other life. We are advocates of that. We are exemplars of that. Our myth is to be an exemplar of life, of life and its interdependencies.

The Quest For Wholeness
This is Thursday, December 5th, 1991.
The name of the session is The Quest for Wholeness.
I guess the best thing I can provide by way of introductory information, is to say there have been some discoveries. That is, discoveries relate to the stream of people we find coming to us for healing, for our counseling sessions. And in that stream, we're finding story after story, of a path that people are taking that could be called a quest. And there is a general feeling of . . . best expressed by Peter Sellers in the film, I Love You Alice B. Toklas . . . At the very end of the film, he says, Somewhere out there, there's something beautiful.

(1987) Our lives involve a kind of navigation.
There is, ever before us, a direction.
There are destinations towards which and beyond which we move.
These directions and these destinations are not always roads and places.
In fact, they may seldom be roads and places.
But we are all travellers.
We travel towards ideals we are perpetually refining and editing.

(1991) It is ever possible to give our attention to the periphery
of growth or achievement of others.
We find the discontinuities, the inconsistencies and the disbalances.
We expound our observation in the form of criticism.
That accomplishes the decoying of attention from our own discontinuities,
inconsistencies and disbalances.
We can prevent ourselves and others
from noticing by means of our ferocious
and relentless attack on others.

(1988) Life is organic.
Life has a form of organization which combines the systems of order of
1) uniqueness and oneness, using complementarity and
2) uniformity e.g. rows and columns, based upon similarity.
Life is counterentropic.
Life is cyclical and dynamic.
Life involves an abundant exchange of energy and pattern
with its environment, both near-field and far-field.

Short Path , Relative Liberation
Symphonies of Mobile Consciousness
When I say the Short Path, the Short Path is a path of liberation. When I say liberation, it is liberation from a smaller scheme and liberation to participate in a larger scheme. There is no absolute liberation from any state, to, or towards, any other state. There is only relative liberation.

(1987) Why are we here?
Where is here?
Here with respect to what?
Each and every thought, each and every question is an acknowledgement,
an acknowledgement of forces and motions
which register in consciousness, but which follow
from connections, from convergent and divergent connections.

Turning Point - A Hallowed Eve

(1992) This is the occasion of Halloween, the hallowed evening.
Because it's just past midnight about 12:30 am., it's November 1st, 1992.
We are at DOMAIN ECOdynamics Research Foundation just north of Maryhill.
The hallowed evening, named by some "all saints",
but having within its name the concept of the sacred,
sacred person, the sacred evening (what and how),
makes it possible to refer to any person or any evening
as being hallowed, as being sacred.
First and foremost, it's because it is set aside, it is dedicated, it is devoted.

(1989) To be content with self or to be content with others is the same
for an edgeless self.
To be discontent with self or to be discontent with others
is the same for an edgeless self.
Shall we be content or discontent?
Is it to view the self as powerless and without responsibility or function -
to be content?
Does being content mean that we believe that we are without intent
or without effect?

(1989) This is Wednesday, February 8th, l989,
and the name of the session is Going Home.
You are going to need to be relaxed, very easy, very quiet.
And we want to think about who or what is "going home",
so we want to gather our attention, and that requires
that we have a kind of a scan or survey or overview
of some of what we have touched in the history of our being,
some of what we've seen and some of the questions that we've asked.

No Deeper Death than Ignorance and Unbelief

(1987) The ignorance of the believers in material evolution,
the ignorance of the toilers, the ignorance of those
who would preserve the words and rites,
the representational structures of man's traditional knowledge,
all of these practices yield this deep death, this great separation.
The slowing of vibrations, due to the choice
to give our attention to a reality too small, too static,
too lifeless, is a gyrational tuning.
When we attune to such schemes, we sustain the fall of mankind.

(1989) I have said a number of times:
regardless of how much we intend to make what we say,
what we represent, comply with what we know to be true or real,
we can find that honesty can be a matter of skill,
as much as it is a matter of intent and integrity.
The reason I say that is because in the process of representing anything,
the references in the mind of the hearer may just provide differences
that provide a deficiency in the fidelity of what he understands
or believes as a result of what you say.

Gyrational Tuning,
The Vortex and Scale Ascending
(1987) There are three sources we want to reference tonight:
The Unobstructed Universe
The Law of One, Vol. II
The Cave of the Ancients
There are highly related passages in Unknown Reality, Vol. I
and the Castenada series, but we will need to hold these over
for our next meeting.

(1989) And I'll be reading a while from The God of Jane.
But I want to refer back to the correlation between the terms
that are used in the Seth material and the terms that I tend to use
because in a certain sense you could call the Harbour Reality, framework I,
and you could call the Sea of Forces, framework II.
And he uses those terms, framework I and framework II.
I think that it might be further useful for us to use these terms,
because then we can then relate them to the concept of echoknowing,
reflective knowing and ecoknowing,
reverberant deep connection into the context.

(1988) Abandoning the game means setting aside the limits,
the constraints, the bounds we have accepted
for the sake of exploring those limits,
those constraints, those bounds
and how they combine or fail to combine.
Abandoning the game means restoring the power
and range of creativity of our greater nature,
free from the role of the game player.
