(“We’re having a storm here tonight.”)

(Here Jane’s voice began to get louder and to deepen as she paced back and forth. Although there was quite a change, her voice did not reach either the depth or volume of the previous session.)

Many so-called cases of possession can be laid to this alone. The dominant personality can be likened on your plane to the dominant entity. Please understand that I am using an analogy here. As the personality on your plane actually changes, expands and grows according to its potentialities, as it presents at various times varied images to the world, such as—if you’ll excuse me for using clichés—a smiling face, a sorrowful face, but is still basically the same personality, so on another level does the entity present at various times a varied appearance and speak in a different voice. As the smiling and the sorrowful face also express and expand the personality, so too do the various reincarnated personalities express and expand the entity as a whole.

In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. But these dream images work for the entity as a whole and serve as a means for the various personalities to communicate. That is, in many cases for the previous incarnated personalities to correspond with the present personality. It is a means of acquainting the present personality with its past and also of reminding it of its goals, without disturbing that blatant awake ego.

(And here, staring at me, Jane pounded the table for emphasis.)

It is not however at all physical in your terms… And so here I suppose we will run into a block. The physical human form is extremely important to all entities, and they retain its idea shape for a long while. Again I will have more to say about the idea shape, which is somewhat like the physical genes and the blueprint, only on a different manifestation level. I believe, though I am not positive, that this human idea shape vanishes at some point and changes into another that is somehow more fitting and ideal. The entity in itself may only be a part of something else.
