The next step is taken when identity is able to include within itself the intimate knowledge of all incarnations. Yet in this state the independence of the various reincarnated selves is not diminished. Each of these steps of consciousness involves identity with the inner recognition of its whole identity with All That Is.

Now, in dealing with such matters, I have to explain them from the standpoint of psychological structures with which you are familiar. When your own projections improve and grow more frequent, it is at least possible, with your abilities, that you will come into contact with some different psychological structures, and then I can tell you more.

Other psychological structures beside your own have their being in realities you will find difficult to comprehend, even though they may be connected with your own, and you unknowingly, may be part of them. What you may term the reality of possibilities is an example. There are many yous in that system, and each you is related psychologically in a personality structure. The you that you know is a part of this. In this system, all the other yous seem to exist in a probable reality.

To any of them, the others would seem to exist in a probable universe. Yet all of you are psychologically connected. This is literally endless. All of you did not have the same parents, for example, and these are portions of probable situations existing in your own parents’ separate lives, as you think of their lives.

In two probable realities, your mother, for example, did not have children. You do not exist in these. In some she married but not the man you know as your father. A psychological connection exists between the first son in that reality, and yourself.

In some probable systems, you and your mother would both exist, do both exist, but as complete strangers, you see. Now these psychological connections are valid and not merely symbolically so. This self that you know has also set up and initiated probable realities of its own. I mean this literally, you see. I want to make this clear.

Now, the inner self is psychologically influenced by these probable personalities, for they are all psychologically connected and represent a whole personality structure, a whole personality gestalt with which you as you know yourself are utterly unfamiliar.

All action will be expressed. Now to some degree you have a root nature, then, and many of your dreams will be similar. You are far from identical with these probable selves, and yet if you met them you would instantly know that you had found unknown portions of yourself.

Now, these do not represent more highly evolved selves, necessarily at all. Certain abilities will be more developed in them than in you, but certain of your abilities are more developed than theirs. In other words, I am not now speaking of portions of yourself that exist in your so-called future.

Each probable self you see also has future selves. This multidimensional identity is a psychological structure with which we shall be dealing in our discussions. The term includes the whole self as it consists of the self that you know, probable selves, reincarnated selves, and selves more highly developed than the self that you know.
