notice, the different persons who transmit me sometimes seem to be coming from
totally different orientations emotionally and intellectually, but in this we
work with what is brought to us.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Transmitting is kind of a devotion of someone setting aside their own
reactions in order to let Michael or myself, or others of our children, come
through.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And this too is in itself
a learning process we encourage every single person to get into, if they
wish.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Transmit at first for

a concept or an understanding, that he hasn’t understood himself--or herself

what would be pure nonsense to him or her, the train of thought itself, the
expressing of our viewpoint over a period of time--which is why, incidentally,
Michael and I choose to have these longer transmissions—does enable you to ride
along on our stream of thought and get a good feeling of our personalities.<SPAN
