Many actual physical intervening steps are cut out. The ego becomes more similar to the inner ego than to its old self, comparatively speaking. This altered ego is aware of large portions of inner reality that were previously denied. Structurally it remains intact, and yet it has changed chemically, and electromagnetically. It is able to open up so that inner experience can be received.

In the past, for example, the ego accepted only knowledge that came through the senses through the physical surroundings. Now it is open to inner data to a large degree. Granted, certain interpretations must be made. Nevertheless, once this freedom is achieved, the ego can never return to its former state.

The personality is more integrated, yet through its acceptance of inner data, the ego, to use the term lightly, has expanded. It has not shrunk. It is now composed of more various elements from the whole personality. Retaining its own consciousness of reality it can now afford to step out of itself momentarily in order to gain further experience.

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.

Emotional charged feeling immediately sets up what you may think of as a tangent. It is expressed in some reality system. This is the inner nature of action. Those inner thoughts or desires, impulses not made physically real in your terms, will be made real within other systems.

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.
