Such images have little to do with your own basic or natural personalities, or with your own individual backgrounds, but you apply such images upon yourselves like overlays. In such cases you are unable to really estimate your own progress of your own accomplishments, for you are not looking at them based upon your own capabilities and inclinations, but using the hypothetical idealized images instead.

That experience of that kind does not come at 20, or even at 30. Part of your accomplishment lies in our sessions and your own considerable work with the notes, and with the invisible aura contained in those notes, for there in a different way you are painting a portrait—a portrait of two lives from a highly individualistic standpoint, extremely unique—and that is the kind of experience that would be ripped out of your life’s fabric, were you the hypothetical idealized version with whom you sometimes relate—a version highly romanticized, let me add.

He may think of some hypothetical literary writer—a composite image again, comfortable enough, slightly avant-garde, fashionably so, in contact with his peers, quite forgetting again that his—and his mind has always been far less conventional than that, far more probing and again, forgetting that he always enjoyed viewing society from a vantage point slightly outside of it.

[...] When they met, therefore our hypothetical people, they could only gasp with amazement at the ways of coincidence, and the strange fashion of chance or fate.

(Intently at 9:36:) Now this does not mean that your personality as you know it was often trapped within a womb, destined to die there, or that a hypothetical whole self would not be born. [...]

Take a hypothetical case. [...]

[...] Here we will use a man for a hypothetical case. [...]

[...] All the lives are actually occurring at the same time, as the hypothetical youngster’s merry-go-round experiences happened all in one day.

Obviously this hypothetical situation is a quick example of what I mean, with no mention of the innumerable other beliefs and half-beliefs that would encircle the man’s and the woman’s relationship.

There is consciousness within each conceivable hypothetical point within the universe. [...]

[...] The 18th-century drawing room may be next to a 12th-century chapel in this hypothetical museum, but you cannot move through one to the other. [...]

[...] So this hypothetical greater identity also chooses to be born in different time periods, historically speaking; and the same pattern appears in which counterparts are born as individuals, each biologically and spiritually connected, but with great intertwinings and variations, as with a physical family tree.

There is no separate field that combines all of that information, or applies the facts of one discipline to the facts of another discipline, so overall, science, with its brand of rational thought, can offer no even, suggestive, hypothetical, comprehensive ideas of what reality is. [...]

[...] Consider a hypothetical goal as a target. [...]

[...] I consider myself an exuberant psychological explorer, finding myself, at my own request, happily set adrift among universes, able to shout with a loud hearty voice from the hypothetical shore of one to another, news of what I have found and am still finding.”

[...] Let us take a hypothetical individual — one who is convinced he has a healthy body, and is proud of mental stability. [...]

The possibility of creative change must always be present to insure the species’ resiliency, and that resiliency can show in many ways—in conditions that you consider deformities, disabilities from birth, or in any physical variation from a hypothetical physical norm. [...]

(Long pause at 4:25.) Again, let’s use a hypothetical case — this time of a man named Donald.

[...] I am not speaking merely in hypothetical terms. [...]

[...] Now generally you believe that the body must wear down, become slower, that you are given so much energy at birth—a hypothetical but definite amount, which is then used up heartbeat by heartbeat. [...]

That is, you increase the feeling and intent of power by considering it in such action, whether or not in your world you pursue that particular issue—and I do not mean to consider the issue hypothetically either, but as a quite possible desirable course of action that you may or may not pursue.
