Now, good evening.

Now I have been speaking about psychological structures that are far more complicated than those with which you are familiar. We can tie these two subjects together very nicely, dear friends. For in a very dim manner, the psychedelic experience can give you some glimmerings as to the nature of these more advanced psychological structures.

The consciousness so attuned however is only a small portion of the individual’s total consciousness. In your system it is now fashionable to refer to this as the ego. The psychological structures are indeed so imprinted. However they are also aware and conscious of huge portions of themselves that are not so imprinted. They are aware of themselves simultaneously as individuals imprinted so as to react within several systems.

Now you may take a break for your fingers’ sake, and we shall continue.

Now. Your LSD and similar drugs do to some extent lift the imprinting process, though never completely.

We are bringing the ego inward, so to speak. It is partaking of this consciousness expansion. In the past the ego has been overexaggerated. It has ruled the roost. This does not mean that the changing pendulum must now attempt to eliminate the ego. Any expansion of consciousness must also include this portion of the self.

Now. Another point. The ego will act as a translator of inner experience for you. If such translations contain distortions, they are better than no translations at all, and intuition will allow you to see through the distortions.

The psychedelic experience under these circumstances transforms the ego also in beneficial ways. Otherwise the ego is left behind, unable to perform, as a rule now, its primary functions. The ego can organize the old data when it undergoes a psychedelic experience as a part of the whole self. Then it can also organize the new data.

Now do you have an envelope for me?
