So in the instance of direct experience without the use of the external senses, the same sort of procedure is beneficial. Last night Ruburt was drowsy but not asleep. He desired to know the time because he had preparations to make before going out. Unknowingly he requested the desired information, that is the time, from his own subconscious, and free from impediments the subconscious delivered.

What happened was this. When the conscious ego desires information, and when the outer ego is in full control, then the information is sought from the outer senses. When the outer ego is caught unawares and information is requested, the subconscious often delivers it through the use of the inner senses. You will see that this was the case.

Tonight Ruburt also desired to know the time, but he was sleeping. The information was delivered to him tonight in exactly the same manner that it was delivered last night. However he was asleep at the time, was not aware except for a glimmering of what had happened; and nevertheless he awoke because of the information that he had received. The inner sense that aided him in this instance is one that we have not yet discussed.

Whenever you desire, Joseph, for the sake of variety you are welcome to ask me questions at any time. I also, being still myself, have fluctuations of interest. That is, at times I am rather obsessed with getting hard facts through your heads, and at other times I am in a more humorous mood. I still have emotions.
