Now look at me, and I will tell you something. You should be in Alpha I. What I wanted to tell you, however, is this. As long as you believe you are physical creatures then you will deal with physical images. When you realize that the physical creature is a hallucination then you will not need the images. I am not telling you that reality is a hallucination. I am telling you that each hallucination is a face that reality takes and that within them all the nature of reality resides.

Now using your scientific instruments, to some extent, you can probe into physical reality. But using these alone you will never come to terms with the nature of your own existence. You will not be able, even in your terms, to feel it or to know it intimately, and as long as you are focused completely in physical reality and cut yourself off from your source, you will never understand the day to day existence that is within you that is independent of days and hours.

No one, Ruburt or myself, can have the experiences that you can have with your own consciousness. No one can learn to manipulate physical reality in the way that you can or understand the nature of their own consciousness in the way that you can. You have a unique experience ahead of you that is yours and can exist for no other consciousness in the universe. This is your gift, and this is your responsibility, for if you let it fall by the wayside, no one can pick it up for you and it can never be replaced. No one can ever have it for you. The visions of reality that are your own can be seen by no other. The journey into consciousness and reality that can be perceived by you can be perceived by no other. The particular vision of truth that can be received by you can be perceived by no other.

You are hypnotized, and you hypnotize yourselves daily, to believe there is only one reality, the physical one that you know and so I would call it, you see, a state of being—hypnotization, where you are freed from a compulsive demanding focus upon physical reality, and where your consciousness is allowed some freedom to pursue its own nature. Where you are to some extent if only momentarily, released from the compulsion to experience your own reality in terms of time and matter and physical form.

I did not use the words lower and lower, that was your own interpretation. These states of consciousness are your own and I did not invent them. The words are meaningless. The states of consciousness, however, are important for they are states of consciousness that are quite natural to you as you go about your days.
