Now the inner ego is the organizer of experience that Jung would call unconscious. The inner ego is another term for what we call the inner self. As the outer ego manipulates within the environment and physical reality, so the inner ego or self organizes and manipulates within an inner reality. The inner ego creates that physical reality with which the outer ego then deals.

It is this inner self, out of the massive knowledge and unlimited scope of its consciousness, that forms the physical world, that provides stimuli to keep the ego constantly at the job of awareness. It is the inner self, termed here the inner ego, that organizes, initiates, projects, controls the EE units of which we have been speaking lately, transforming energy into objects, into matter.

Now. The ego is spoon-fed, being given only those feelings and emotions, only that data, that it can handle. This data is then presented to it in a highly specialized manner, usually in terms of information picked up by the physical senses. The inner self is obviously not only conscious, but conscious of itself, both as an individuality apart from others, and as an individuality that is a part of all other consciousness.

The inner ego however is always aware of both aspects of its reality. In the deepest sense (pause), this inner self is organized about its primary aspect, which is creativity. It constantly translates the components of its gestalt into reality, either physical reality through the EE units I have mentioned, or into other realities equally as valid.

These then form physical objects, physical matter. Matter is the shape that basic experience takes when it intrudes into three dimensional systems. Matter is the shape of your dreams. Your dreams, emotions, feelings, thoughts, are (underlined) transformed into physical matter purposefully by this inner self.

An individual inner self, then, through constant massive effort of great creative intensity, cooperates with all other inner selves to form and maintain the physical reality that you know, so that physical reality is an offshoot or by-product of (pause), the highly conscious creative inner self.

Buildings appear to be made of rock or wood or steel. They appear fairly permanent to the physical senses. They are actually oscillating, ever-moving, highly charged gestalts of EE units (pause), organized and maintained by collective efforts on the part of inner selves. They are solidified emotions, solidified subjective states, given physical materialization.

The powers of consciousness are clearly not understood then, nor its multidimensional aspects. As I have told you, the self is literally unlimited. Each individual has his part to play in projecting these EE units into physical actuality. Therefore physical matter can be legitimately described as an extension of the self, as much as the physical body is a projection of the inner self.

Now it is obvious that the body grows up about the inner self, and that trees grow out of the ground, whereas buildings do not ordinarily spring up like flowers of their own accord; so the inner self has various methods of creation, and uses the EE units in different ways, as you shall see as we continue with this discussion.

Having determined upon physical reality as a dimension in which it will project itself, the inner self therefore first of all takes care to form and maintain the physical basis upon which all else must depend—those physical properties of earth that can be called natural ones.

We have to a very brief extent begun to explain that phenomena in a recent session. The inner self has a vast and infinite reservoir from which to draw knowledge and gain experience. (Pause.) All kinds of choices are available, and the diversity of physical matter is a reflection of this deep source of variety.

With the natural structures formed and maintained, other physical secondary properties, secondary constructions, are projected. The deepest, most basic and abiding subjective experience is translated however into those natural elements; the ample landscape that sustains physical life.

Only when such nourishment is for some reason cut off to a considerable degree, is the ego threatened by starvation... We will have more to say concerning the ego’s relationship with the so-called unconscious. In a healthy personality the inner self easily projects all experience into EE units, where they are translated into actuality. Physical matter therefore acts as a feedback. Now we will end our session unless you have questions.
