Now. The inner self has a much richer and deeper heritage than the intellect or ego. Its perceptions are of a different nature, varying particularly in scope and depth. (Long pause.)

Give us a moment. (Pause.) The brain is capable (underlined)of interpreting and transmitting far more inner information than it does. It is the ego’s idea of what is possible, the ego’s concept of reality, that determines in a large manner whether or not the brain will interpret any particular data.

Latent potentialities, always present within the system, are activated as they are needed. The physical self can, it is true, become somewhat bewildered, but the ego also learns and expands so that it is able to accept and use the new information, and benefit from it. It quickly learns methods for example to utilize such activities for the purposes of the psychological structures that it recognizes and feels responsible for.

In Ruburt’s case it has been some overprotective. Also since earlier conditions taught it that such knowledge could bring punishment. The ego of course also has more data to handle and works quickly to assimilate such data within the reality structure it recognizes.

Inner perceptions enlarge the ego’s idea of reality however so adjustments are made. It is the ego that insists upon separating itself from events, preferring to imagine itself a spectator above events, rather than a participator in events.

You remember this from our material on action and the personality. The ego therefore is pleased when information is proven correct. (Long pause.) If the nature of perception were clearly understood then the nature of reality as you know it would also be understood much more clearly. Only half the process of perception, so-called, is even considered, however. Only half of the circle is known. The entire circle consists of those projections outward that form events, as well as the mechanisms by which the events are then physically perceived.
