Now unless you come to terms with your own doubts about yourselves then you will have no idea what faith is and when I use the word faith, I am not speaking in religious terms. When you look at your physical reality and see what it is this does not take faith, it is a simple matter of physical perception. When, however, you begin to have glimpses about the nature of reality and realize that you are more than you know that you are now, then it takes faith to bring that inner image close to some actuality, in your terms. You are all hampered, in other words, by doubts. Now your physical perceptions operating alone are often responsible for these doubts for you think you are all that you can see of yourselves, or you think your life is all that you presently perceive of it, and so if you trust in your physical senses alone then you must, indeed, be filled with doubts for you know, instinctively, that you are more than the self that you are presently able to materialize or to give expression to. If you judge yourself according to the physical self that you know, then you must be filled again by doubts because again instinctively, you know that you are more.

You contact them in a state which is not waking or dreaming. Now this is something that I do not believe any of you understand. You are familiar, to some degree, with your own state of consciousness but you do not examine these too closely. You assume you are awake under certain conditions, and you assume that you are asleep under certain conditions. Now there is, what I can describe as a mean of consciousness, that is a constant between the waking and sleep states. It is yours whether you are awake or asleep and this is the state you are reaching them in.
