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.

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.

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.
