This does not mean that it cannot be seen on occasion, but it cannot be perceived through use of the unaided physical senses. It is that indeed which contains the memories and experiences, in codified units, of the present individual. It is that part which survives physical death. It is that part which in physical life is intertwined with the physical image.

The inner senses perceive the psychic reality and transmit messages from it. We speak of these as separate, again, only for convenience, for we have but various abilities and various aspects of a self. The divisions are arbitrary. This is very important.

Now. Regard the inner senses in connection with the nature of action and electromagnetic reality, for the perceptions of the inner senses are themselves action, and as such they change both the perceiver and the thing perceived. You can see then that even this astral image is always in motion and never static, and its condition alters the physical self even as the physical self acts upon the astral image.

Any dream is experienced differently by these various aspects of the self. There is not one objective dream that is merely perceived in various fashions. The various levels of the self create their own dreams, which do have meanings to all layers of the personality. But you cannot think of a dream as a concrete block that is for example chipped off in pieces that then apply to these imaginary levels. All of these aspects of the self are so intertwined that arbitrary distinctions must be made for you simply to explain them.

This is different however from cause and effect for basically a specific action will not give a specific effect, only. Within your system, you only perceive certain actions out of an endless variety of actions. So you take these few as inevitable results of a given cause.
