Now, bad vibrations come from within the self, as do good ones. The great trip, the great fascination, the cosmic energy and power and strength resides within the eyes of a frog, within the body of a suburbanite who mows his lawn. It resides in the housewife as she goes about her chores and psychic power is meant to unite you and not to set you apart as aliens to your brothers. It is to bind you with All That Is, to open your abilities so that you can comprehend and comprehension never excludes. The greater your comprehension, the more your ability and understanding can include. Therefore, listen to your own inner voice and follow your way, but do not trust those who tell you that good vibrations are here with A and B and C and bad vibrations are with E, F, G and H, for the energy that forms All That Is is within each. It forms each. Use your abilities to find out your reality but do not deprive another of his reality and do not allow yourself to become impressed. Do you follow me?

To the extent that you extend yourselves, your abilities will automatically be developed, as you read and study the material. There are many books and there are many teachers and there are many ways. Some of it is simple but they are quite necessary to those at a certain level of development. If those ways were sufficient to you, that is where you would be. You have become dissatisfied with those ways, but in becoming dissatisfied you must also extend yourselves to learn new methods of perceptions, and you must expand your consciousness.

There is another point I want to make. Now, as I told you, you have experiences in the dream state and in the waking state of which you are not even physically aware. Now, you also often develop abilities in the dreaming and sleep state and perform work and creative activities of which you are not aware. Now, if you really learn to keep track of your dreams and record them over a period of time, you may get a clue as to what these activities are. There are other ways of obtaining clues in psychological time, for example, but if I were you, I would be much more curious about what I do in my dreams for you can utilize these abilities in the waking state.
