I mentioned that the inhabitant of the other system with whom you made contact perceived your existence in both the future and the past. He also was aware however of your own comparative imprisonment in a limited present. For the present as you know it is very limited indeed. He realized therefore, when the incident occurred, how it would end. He can relive the incident at his leisure, and experience it as present if he so chooses.

We will try here to give you an example. Take for example then the house in which Ruburt spent his childhood. Now as you know, that was never one definite unchanging object. That house was a conglomeration of atoms and molecules, perceived generally as a house, but perceived specifically by everyone who saw it as a slightly different house. For each observer quite literally created from his own subconscious energy an approximation of a house, a general shape then perceived as a house, and further embellished by personal judgments.

It was, say, in 1943 even then merely a portion of space perceived by all who saw it in their own light. It did not exist devoid or apart from those who viewed it.

These psychological structures obviously act as stabilizing platforms, so to speak, from which energy can view itself. The psychological frameworks simply are various organizational structures that are equipped to perceive reality discriminately.

Gradually psychological structures are able to focus upon vaster areas, and in order to achieve proficiency in this manner you do indeed begin to build up layered selves that have been independent identities. These varying perceptive abilities organize so that their perceptive powers are pooled in a gestalt that eventually forms a new identity, a more complicated psychological structure that is capable of perceiving larger areas of reality.
