Now. I will continue. Man will not learn the basic nature of reality by studying the physical universe alone, nor will he learn it by studying the personality as it operates within the physical universe alone.

All layers of the personality are indeed conscious layers. They simply operate in the manner of compartments, so that often one portion of the self is not aware of other portions. As a rule when you are awake you do not know your sleeping self; you know your neighbors far better, so your sleeping self appears mysterious indeed. When you are awake, as Ruburt himself has written, you cannot find the dream locations that have been so familiar to you only the night before.

Now there are indeed connections between these two conditions. And there are definite realities that exist in both states, and these uniting realities will be what you are looking for. For only by finding these can you discover the nature of the human personality and the nature of reality within which it must operate.

My own answer is that I am an energy personality essence, momentarily in contact with your physical system, and that I am allowed to operate through Ruburt.

It does indeed, though the face does not fully adopt my own expression. First of all, as far as the hands are concerned, to be left or right-handed has to do with inner mechanisms and brain patterns that come first, before the motions of the hands. Characteristically, I operated in certain manners that resulted in the primary use of my left hand, when I was focused within physical matter.

As to facial expression, this again is somewhat the same matter, for in this case matter does not matter. Physical expression, facial expression, is again the result of the personality’s characteristic method of manipulating the physical organism, and when I operated primarily as such I had my own characteristic way of doing so.
