The inner ego directs all activities which are deeply subjective. [...] You must remember that the whole self is more than the sum of its parts; and also, since it is action, it is never the same. It is therefore impossible at any moment to pinpoint the personality. Therefore the whole self is not only the sum of the personality as you know it in your time, it is also the sum of what it has been and what it shall be. For as I have explained action is simultaneous, and time as you think of it is caused by your own physical perception.
It is all very well for monks to utilize astral projection. It is all very well for them to skitter through space as if they were on pogo sticks; their knowledge is fundamental and good. The fact remains that millions of human beings who follow and practice Buddhism are told, as many religions tell their followers, “Better worlds are to come, so ignore this agony, and this hunger, and this pain, and the murder in the streets. [...] This is not human, and it is far less than godly.
Therefore, in the dream state communication is possible between all portions of the self. The personality appears in its truest state if it seems, in dreams, that you are free of space and time. It is indeed because the basic self is free of space and time. If you appear to hear voices out of the past, if you seem to see into the future, it is because the dream state is a more or less faithful approximation of a basic reality in which your time and space simply do not exist.
There is a unity and there is a joy and there is an exaltation in all aspects of life and consciousness. It is not to any religion’s benefit that people starve. There is nothing wrong with using spiritual knowledge in practical manners.
Its nature becomes known, for the personality, again, is not an object, nor is it an unchanging unit. [...] It should be remembered however that hypnotism is also an action, and as such hypnotism will change the personality to some extent, as all action changes and affects other actions.
Again, the nature of space and time is glimpsed more clearly as it appears to the sleeping self, for in the dream state reality is to a large measure uncamouflaged, and the personality appears in a freer state. It should also be borne in mind that all aspects of the personality are part of the whole self. As such there is an overall communication between the various aspects of the self, although the separate aspects of the self may not be aware of the communications.
[...] Practice is all that is required, but the practice itself will show results. [...] This is no Pollyanna gibberish.
[...] It is one thing to realize that all physical matter is camouflage, and they know this. But this camouflage can be most disastrous if it is not manipulated correctly. [...]
It should be obvious that there is nothing strange in the fact that the dreaming self and the waking self appear so unfamiliar to each other. [...] Hypnotism is merely a method that allows you to study the personality directly.
[...] These effects, these various seemingly separate selves that can be demonstrated through hypnosis, operate continually and quite normally in both the waking and the dream states. There is however a cooperation that exists between these seemingly separate aspects of the self. It goes without saying that some overall direction must be, and is, maintained.
