Communications exist between all portions of the self, and all parts of the personality; or parts of the whole self, rather, operate as what you may call a supraself. Ruburt has referred to this as a supraconsciousness. This is the identity, the whole identity, of the various portions of the self that operate within various systems. To this supraself, of course, your ego future can be easily viewed.

All portions of course exist simultaneously. The supraself under certain conditions is made known to you, sometimes in dreams. Often it is the you who takes over in projection states.

It is very close to the entity. Largely due to its abilities are the creative processes used, but hardly understood by the ego. In many cases this supraself is already, so to speak, moving into completely new systems. It is, of course, aware of your reincarnations on the individual’s part, but these are not present nor future to the self.

In one way the self represents what you shall be, in your time terms, represents your highest potential. Basically however the supraself already does exist, you see, for all potentials are fulfilled. The supraself can be sensed at times, almost as you might sense another presence. You are already part of it, of course.

There is an inherent knowledge within each individual of the supraself’s existence, and its image is indelibly imprinted. It is the desired and sought-after model against which you psychically measure your present self.

Death simply does not exist to the whole personality. Only the physically oriented portions of the self accept this as a finality. (Long pause.) Whenever you use abilities that to you seem supernormal, you are drawing upon the ability of the supraself. It is the whole I, and yet more than the sum of its parts. It is action highly aware, and quite able to change its components. It consists also of course of the probable selves of which we have spoken, and it unites and directs infinitely larger portions of action than possible for the physical personality.

It however retains its identity, you see, while partaking to the extent of its desire and ability in the superior aspects of this greater gestalt. Even as you, according to your desire and ability, can partake of the superior qualities of your supraself.

Now. This supraself can be called upon. Its abilities can be used—they are to some extent in projections, from either the waking or dream state.

An awareness of the existence of the supraself is in itself of great benefit. The author of Ruburt’s new book calls this God, and I am simply telling you what it is. The supraself is indeed a portion of a higher gestalt, which is part of yet another higher consciousness-gestalt. This is true. But this supraself is you in a highly personal way, and it is superior in many aspects. It controls and organizes larger portions of action.

It operates for your benefit almost automatically in any case, for your benefit is its benefit, you see, and its energies are always at your disposal. This does not mean that you are dependent. You are independent as far as the actions you choose to take. You are however a part of your supraself, for it is a self which you will become, in your time terms. In other terms it is the self which you are; you can call upon your own supraconsciousness therefore, though there should be no reason to do so.

It operates within you and for you in any case. The awareness of its existence however has strong reassuring elements on a conscious level. You see you are not the low man on the totem pole however. There are lesser, so to speak, personalities within every dominant physical personality, and lesser identities quite independent within each personal system. To these the physical personality would seem like a supraself.
