[... 1 paragraph ...]

You are each a center and a focus point and an individuality, and around you are circling realities and you have an existence in each of these. The inner self is aware, but the conscious self is not aware. It seems to you as you read the session that you are small and tiny, with reality spinning about you that you can neither see nor understand, but this is not the case, for a part of you does know. You are a part of these encircling realities and your dreams and thoughts and wishes affect those realities even though you are not consciously aware of this. And when you pluck a finger into the air, then you disturb and change and alter other realities that you cannot see nor touch, and other realities in which a finger, as a finger, does not exist. One thought sends out ripples that change and alter. One of your own dreams rising out from you as its center, it touches and changes these other realities. There is no feeling that you have, there is no word that you utter, there is no thought hidden in the deepest environment of your brain that does not have a reality different than the one you know. That does not reach out and change and grow and alter worlds of which you have no knowledge.

So do not feel that you are powerless, do not feel that you are at the mercy of events, for you form events not only in this reality, but in these other realities which you do not consciously understand. Each move that you make is not multiplied a million times, not simply multiplied, but it reaches out and changes and alters and affects these other realities and it becomes a new action. It becomes a new action as it approaches and reaches other realities, and it in turn initiates action. For it will meet with responses, and these responses will be different. There is nothing that goes on in this room when you are here that goes on in this room alone. These meetings occur in this room, but they also occur in other realities, and when you come here to this class you are also attending a class on another level, and you are not aware of those classes, though I am aware of them. I am very aware of them, for while our friend Ruburt gives this class, I have been giving other classes and you have all been there. Education takes place on many levels.

In your terms, you are hanging out in space with nothing to support you and our friend here would be terrified of falling. You know that the physical floor does not support you, but you must pretend that the physical floor supports you or you would be dizzier than you are. So also at this moment in other realities do you sit, replicas of yourselves in other rooms and in other classes. And each moment as you know it, with this activity as you know it, exists in other realities, and you are a portion of these realities and you affect them. As you go out and speak to others now, and change them, so on other levels do you do the same, and so indeed are you also changed and affected.

This room could disconnect itself from this apartment building and go sailing blithely through space. And yet under many circumstances you would not be aware of it, for within the room if it sailed about evenly, the perspective would still be the same. And unless you looked out of the windows you would notice no change. But if the windows were sealed and closed, you would not know the difference, and so until you learn to look out of the windows to the inner selves, then you will not realize what your own environment consists of. For the perspective where you look is the same, and you have nothing to judge experience against. I will let my friend here take a break. He is broken up because he has moved his furniture, but he does not confuse me.

You can compare these to simple earth spirits, but they are aware. They will in turn inhabit other forms, and even the most minute consciousness that resides within the smallest portion of matter, even that consciousness can grow and mature and change, for there is no limitation set upon consciousness. Even then, the smallest consciousness within its own terms of value fulfillment can emerge, can change, can alter, can develop. It can then gain and gather about it the potentiality to hold and control more and more energy. It can broaden the apparent boundaries of its own existence, for all boundaries are only apparent. They are illusions. Even the boundaries that you set about your own identities are illusions. They are not solid. You can go beyond them. It is difficult to portray to you the complexity of the realities themselves. For the difficult realm [sic] cannot understand the concepts that are involved.
