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.

There is a consciousness within the atoms and molecules that compose the body. There is also a group consciousness that is made up. It is a combination. You may call it a nature consciousness. There is no strongly organizing principle behind it. It is the overall consciousness composed of the atoms and molecules within the physical structure and when the main personality has gone its way, this simple consciousness may persist for some time. Even this however will withdraw. In many instances, however, this simple consciousness will be retained for some time, in your terms. It is this portion that belongs rather closely to your own. It is this consciousness that is the simple source of your physical apparatus. It is this consciousness that has been formed particularly within your system from each cell. The individual consciousness of it will withdraw from each atom and molecule within the physical body. Each minute consciousness will withdraw.

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.

You mentioned something earlier in class. Now indeed, not only does each thought have an electrical reality of its own and endures unchanged, but what you consider to be yourself has an electrical reality and is coded in terms that you cannot presently understand. We have explained this in various past sessions. There is individual consciousnesses can also merge with others [sic]. When this occurs no individuality is ever lost, but each of (the) joining consciousnesses are able to participate in greater realities. Now, I will not keep you too long this evening, but it is too long since I have been here to keep you on your toes.

Bega is doing well in his classes, and you are doing well in these classes. You are all developing and growing, whether or not you are consciously aware of it, and when you gather together there are beneficial developments that you do not understand, and that I am not prepared to explain to you this evening, for it would take too much of your time. There is, however, a pooling of inner knowledge that is highly helpful to all of you. I do not expect you to drown in that pool, for I have taught you how to swim, you see. And take care that you look out of the windows now and then, lest you all go sailing past West Water Street.
