Any such communications coming through the inner senses will exist in your psychological time. I have said also that this psychological time operates during sleep and during quiet times of consciousness. Now in dreams and in the dream framework you have the feeling of experiencing many hours, or even days. These days or hours that you seem to experience in dreams are not recorded by the physical body, and are outside of your physical time camouflage. If in a dream for example you experience within the framework two days, physically you do not age for these two days.

I am sure you see the many places that this can lead us. For one thing, psychological time is so much a part of inner reality that even though your inner self is still connected to the physical body, you are in the dream framework free of some very important physical effects. Now as your dreams seem to involve you in duration that is independent of your clock time, and I have much more to say here, so can you achieve the actual experience of duration as far as your inner visions are concerned.

I wanted to say a little more about duration, as far as communication from the inner senses are concerned. As I said, duration can be experienced in relation to psychological time and within its framework. The important thing here, and I’m afraid the difficult thing for you here, is the relaxation of the mind from clock time. And this is a freedom which you can and should allow yourself in such instances.

This is going to be a rather brief session comparatively. One note I wanted to make: As I have said, psychological time is a natural connective to the inner world. Though you experience days or hours within the framework of psychological time during the dream state, and yet do not age for a comparable amount of physical time, so as you develop in your use of psychological time you will be able to rest and be refreshed within the framework of psychological time while you are consciously awake. This will aid your mental and physical state to an amazing degree, and you will discover added vitality on the one hand, and a somewhat decreased need to sleep on the other.

This is why psychological time seems to flow so easily when physical time is pursued and watched by a quiet “I”. The one leads to the other and the camouflage is loose enough to let the inner form shine through. A proper use of psychological time will not only lead you into the inner world, but will also prevent you from being rushed in the physical world. Within it, that is within the framework of psychological time, you will discover a quiet and cool peacefulness. I tell you both this for your benefit, because both of you will gain much in the utilization of these added benefits.

Psychological time adds duration. You will find something else here. From the framework of psychological time you will see that clock time is as dreamlike and fleeting as you once thought inner time was. And you will discover that inner time is as much a reality as you once thought outer time was. You will discover your whole selves in other worlds, peeping inward and outward at the same time, and finding that all time is one time, and that all divisions are illusion.

If you will remember this, inner data will come through much more easily, and you will be able to control it. It is never of itself overpowering. There are abilities in which you can train yourself, in both recognition of data when it occurs, utilization, and control. This also implies to some degree utilization as far as duration is concerned. That is, within the framework of psychological time you can lengthen such experiences.
