It must, of course, succeed to some extent, or the physically oriented personality as you know it would not exist. The ego is of course a part of action. There are endless levels of action however, which the ego does not perceive. It is possible for the inner and outer egos to merge to some extent, and this merging when it occurs does indeed represent the formation of a new kind of consciousness.

This concept is hardly a new one. It is not a generally accepted theory, but it has ancient roots. When you carry the waking I into the dream state, this is one approach to this different consciousness. There is also an opening up that can occur in the waking condition. When this occurs the inner and outer egos merge. The outer ego recognizes its own duties, but it is aware that more is involved.

Much of the needed development takes place in the dream state. I wanted to mention that particular dream of yours, Joseph, in which you saw yourself at your back window. There was a merging of inner and outer egos. The startled outer ego did indeed hold you back from an excellent projection.
