Now, probabilities exist in the same manner. They simply are not concrete for you, as dreams are not concrete for you. You may dream for example of holding an apple, then wake up and the apple is gone. This does not mean that the apple did not exist. It simply means that in the waking state you are not aware of its reality. You do not experience it, or perceive it. In the same manner you do not perceive or experience physically the actuality of probable events.

The system of probabilities is not as easily perceived even as those events that exist within the dream state, for with these you are familiar, while you are in the dream state. Often the ego is even made aware of dream events. Now the self that is the I of your dreams can quite legitimately be compared to the self that experiences probable events.

Let us consider the following. The individual within your system—and this is quite simplified—an individual finds himself with a choice of three actions. He chooses one of these and experiences it within the physical field. The other two actions are experienced however, but not within the physical system. The results of the other two actions are perceived by the inner ego.

The results are retained, to be checked against future decisions, and to be used by the physical self as an aid in making future decisions. The probable actions were definitely perceived and experienced however, and these experiences make up the existence of this other portion of the self, as indeed dream actions make up the experience and existence of the dream self, or of the I as it exists within the dream state.

Also. You make certain automatic adjustments in order to perceive what little of my presence that you do perceive. And I also have a calming effect on you, which is most beneficial to you.
