Now, you have all been changing your relationships, not only because of what has gone on in class physically, but because of what you have been doing in the dream states. And as you know, in another layer of reality, this is the dream state, and in that level of reality I am telling you to remember your dreams, and I have already told you that this evening you will have a class dream session, and this is it. And in this level of reality, I am telling you that you will have a class dream session this evening, and in that other level of reality, you will remember. If you did not insist upon setting up so many divisions, you could see far more clearly. I ask you to do things (to Gert) in a minute I will be with you—all of you, and some of you do these things and some do not.

As you all know, you can become as conscious sleeping, and you do, as you are in the normal state, or now when you listen to me. But, if you go to bed this week each night with the idea that you are not sleeping in the terms in which you usually accept that term, but you are instead changing the focus of your consciousness and that you will be as much awake and consciousness, then you will become aware of what you do consciously when you sleep. And you can all (to Sheila), all succeed to some extent or another in this experiment, and anything you learn or remember, or take back with you, will be more than worth your while. I cannot impress upon you too deeply the validity of both these existences, that you consider dual.

([Gert:] “On this business of the Alpha layers, this again is a changing of focus, it is not?”)

Now, all of this effort, in your terms, will be quite valuable to you in this existence, as well as in others, in your terms. But the potential is within you now, and the source of your knowledge is indeed infinite. It is only you who have to learn how to draw upon it and use it. And in your terms it will seem to appear at different stages. It will seem to... get better. You will seem to draw upon a greater source as you learn to use your own abilities. And in all cases, the ego that you know develops and learns, and this alters the nature of the self that you are now, and it changes the characteristics of the ego as you presently think of it.
Now, when you change the character of the ego as you think of it, you change it not only for yourselves, but for the species of which you are a part. You are involved, therefore, in a spiritual and psychic evolution, in your terms. For the time will come when reincarnational information will be considered as you now think an instinct is. It will be a part of you. And that kind of development is growing now in groups like this throughout the world. So you work not only for yourselves, but you work for others, and you change not only yourselves, but you change others, and you alter the species of which you are a part.
In one manner of speaking, of course, the change has already occurred, and we are speaking of ancient knowledge. And that ancient knowledge is dependent upon what was done here, and in some few other groups, and in what is being done in the dream state throughout the world. You may say it has been done, for it has. But in your reality you are doing it now. So be brave.
