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.

Now, if for a week, you looked at your present physical daily reality and your sleeping reality as not two separate existences but one, then they can merge in a most dramatic way. When I say this, you are bound to interpret my statement to mean that daily waking reality may become dreamy, or blurred or indistinct. But this is not what will occur. Both realities are your own, and the sense of division need not exist.

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.

Feel, now, your own consciousness. Look about you and see what you perceive. Listen to what you hear. Now, I tell you that in another reality you are presently sleeping, in your terms, and yet how conscious and aware you are.

Now, when you go to sleep this evening, in your terms, you are every bit as much this conscious and aware. Your consciousness is not inhibited, it is not blurred. You have simply hypnotized yourselves into the concept of unconsciousness. Now, there is no such things as unconsciousness. You simply turn your conscious feelings and perceptions and abilities into different directions. You have a consciousness, and you use it in a multitudinous fashion. In this reality you only accept it as valid when it is directed toward physical matter and perception. But through understanding, you can direct it elsewhere and become aware of this.

Now, I would like you to do this for the week, seriously and on your own. Make the effort. It is within each of your abilities to do this.

Now, I had a question over here from our friend The Rogue.

That is all I will say for now.

I am saying in this physical reality you look about you en masse and you see a variety of objects upon which you all agree. But within that context, your experience is far different. Some of you find a joyful world, and some of you are pursued by evil. Your experience dictates what you make of the objects that exist as root assumptions within this reality. Now, in other realities and in the Alpha state, there are certain root assumptions like your objects, but you will perceive these again in your own individual manner, and you must learn to differentiate there as you do here. And some of you do not always learn how to differentiate. This is to you (Sue) in one specific instance, for there is one area in which you do not realize you are projecting. It is to everyone, but it is to you (Sue) in this instance.

Now, I am going to let you all take a break.

Now, all of you who come to this class, to one degree or another—to one degree or another have one thing in common—you are not afraid of the unknown. It intrigues you. You are adventurous as far as the unknown is concerned, and you are determined to seek it out and make it known. You are trying to do just that.

Now, I will let you return to your discussions of the week’s activities.

... (Words lost) far as the inner self is concerned, for you must translate what you receive. You are more than you think you are. You are each more than you think you are. Then why should it amaze you that you are beginning to use and recognize some of the information that belongs to your entire identity? Because you give yourselves certain names does not mean that you are not one self. You are given names as children in this life, and so you give names to other portions of yourselves as they seem to become born within your psyche. And yet, this is all a portion of your own identity.  It is you. It is the voice that speaks within you, whether or not you listen, the information that is a heritage of your own, that is a part of yourself, that has always been with you. It is the self that was familiar to you before you learned to speak. The messages, therefore, come, as far as class is concerned, to this time from the entire entity, the inner identity, whatever word you want to use or coin. The innermost portions of yourself that is indeed a part of all energy, must be sifted through the self that you now recognize, and your job is to learn how to receive the information and how to open and use the inner self. But these are all evidences in your own experience of the multidimensionality of your own personality. You have the evidence within you.

Now, this identity of which I speak, from which you receive your energy and your information, this identity of yours personally, is indeed infinite. It does not have bounds. It seems to you that there are divisions within it, but it is only because from your point of view, you are working upward. You are learning to open these channels to that identity, but that identity within each of you is infinite. The names you give it at its various stages, for they appear like stages to you, are relatively meaningless, except that they give you a point of reference. At times you will cut through to a more clear rate of information or perceptions than you have ever received before. At other times it will seem that you receive trivia and meaningless information. But you must persist.

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.
