Now generally speaking, such emotional responses set up electromagnetic forces. These forces in a large measure form boundaries inside which is a general, or generalized, field or system to which the individual will respond. The emotional blockage sets up barriers however whose main purpose is to protect the individual from anything that he considers at all unsafe or threatening, or simply unpleasant.

It is not a simple question that may be summed up in a statement, such as “attitudes regulate behavior.” What is not understood is that emotional attitudes, conscious and subconscious, have an electromagnetic reality that operates very efficiently, either as an open system which attracts new stimuli, or as a closed electric force that is supercharged.

You may now take your first break, and we shall consider these emotional systems in the relation to the personality in the dream state.

Now these same sort of emotional systems operate under all conditions, and they regulate the kinds of experience to which an individual is susceptible or open, and they close out from his awareness those experiences which he has already decided he will not accept. Again, the emotional attitudes have their own electromagnetic reality. This field or system will therefore attract certain experiences, close out others, allow others to come so close and no closer, as is the case with Marleno and our sessions.

Now, this same sort of emotional system operates in the sleeping state as well as in the waking state, though there are differences in that the personality will allow greater leeway in the dream state. But even in the sleeping condition, as should be obvious, the individual accepts and attracts certain experiences and blocks out others. You know that telepathy and clairvoyance operate rather freely in the dream state. However the nature of such experiences is strongly dependent upon the particular emotional system that is characteristic of any given personality.

Definite electromagnetic actions will therefore occur between the two dreamers, and there may be a spilling over of data, or dream information, before the circuit is closed. You must realize that I am not speaking symbolically. I am speaking in very practical terms. The electromagnetic systems do indeed exist, and when they are open telepathic communications can travel through.

All of these reality systems of which we have been speaking are closely connected. Every thought has this same electric potential. Thoughts are often translated into dream images by a simple transformation. There is little difference indeed, basically, between physical images and dream images, and apparitions, and very little difference between these and thoughts and emotions.
