Now I will say more concerning the changes worked in the ego as a result of our sessions, and from the psychedelic experience in general. The ego structure as such remains, of course. The responsibility of dealing with manipulation within the physical universe remains, but in some respects the nature of this manipulation changes. It becomes more direct: Physical properties are manipulated more and more on a mental level.

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.

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.

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.

Your psychologists are dealing with one-dimensional psychology at their best. In the dream state, the portions of the larger structure sometimes communicate, in highly codified symbols. It would be highly improbable to imagine that you could decipher these so as to be easily aware of them now.

There is even a certain feedback system that operates here, and yet you must understand that all of these other identities are independent and fully individual. They exist in codified psychological structures within your personality, as you exist in the same manner within each of their personalities.

They remain latent within you and unexpressed within this system. You have their abilities, unused. You remain latent in their personality structures, and your main abilities are unused within their systems. Yet all of you are a part of one self, you see, in a multidimensional psychological structure.

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.

These make up the basic identity structure of one whole self. Again, this does not mean that the portions are not independent and individual. Also, the divisions are arbitrary to a large degree, for they can indeed be carried further, for example, to the entity.
