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.)

Now this is pertinent since the medium-communicator language can be legitimate in many other areas beside the one in which it is involved. In the simplest perception in those terms you are involved in the same way that a medium is. You are receiving data that is not basically physical, and translating it into terms meaningful to your own physical organism.

The words that I speak to you transmit information, but the words themselves are not the information but verbal carriers. Now you may take your break.

Now. Ruburt has always perceived with the inner senses.

Now. In your system of reality you are learning what mental energy is, and how to use it. You do this by constantly transforming your thoughts and emotions into physical form. You are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development by perceiving the exterior environment. What seems to be a perception, an objective concrete event, independent and apart from you the perceiver, is instead the physical materialization of the perceiver’s own inner emotions, energy and mental environment.

Physically speaking now, there are mechanisms that interpret physical events. The scientist’s field of inquiry involves these. The methods by which emotions, concepts, and energy are projected out from the individual to form the physical environment and events, mainly occur in nonphysical terms, but there are nervous system connections that aid in this projection.

Basically then there is little difference as to the manner in which normal perceptions or extrasensory perceptions are received. Now the sources of the data may be different, but in both cases they are basically nonphysical.

Now some inner data cannot be perceived or translated by the brain, practically speaking, but as minds develop so the physical brain will develop, and in some individuals to a large extent this has occurred.

Changes in the physical structure of the species will always follow inner need, and the inner need is anticipated from the beginning of the seed. Therefore large portions of the brain, now unused, lie latent for these developments. So-called psychics put some of these portions to work. Otherwise information such as ours would not be received clearly enough to be understood.

To a large extent you create what you see or perceive. This does not mean you are the creator in that respect. There are many realities of whose existence you are ignorant, but they nevertheless exist. Now you may end the session or take a break as you prefer.

Now. You attempt to translate all information in physical terms within your system.
