(To Arnold.) Now where is our fond physicist in his red shirt over there? We will soon, indeed, have you probing into the guts of reality, and then letting the concepts come afterward.

You direct, not only your own individual energy, but en masse, the energy of the world that you know. In your dreams you try out probable solutions to world problems. The leaders that will appear to you tomorrow are known to you beforehand in your dreams, and when you recognize them in physical reality there should, indeed, be a great sense of familiarity for already you know them well.

Now I would not force you into any state of awareness, far be it from me. You are all in Alpha I, and I did not force you into it. Now bear with me for a few moments, realizing as you do so that there is in reality no distinction between the atoms and molecules within your precious bodies and the atoms and molecules that fly about the room quite innocently and free; realizing also that there is great space between the atoms and molecules within your body, and that if some very small person were flying through they would find your bodies as large as a galaxy; realizing also that the skin that seems so solid to you is very open, indeed, and does not separate you so much from the universe, as it connects you with the universe; and that there is little division between the atoms and molecules in those knees and those legs and the atoms and molecules that form the floor upon which the legs and knees seem to rest.

But they are a part of your heritage, a part of your inner knowledge, and we want you to use them consciously and with egotistical awareness now, for your ego is not to be treated as a stepchild, as a poor relative. It is to be taken along on the trip. It is to be educated. It is far more flexible than you imagine.
