Again, the alternate waking-sleeping patterns keep the traffic signals clear, so to speak. This also allows for a clear focus in each given area—but more, it assures that no overloads occur. Certain kinds of energy are utilized in the formation of physical events. If all of the nations were awake, say, at the same time, such an overload would be almost certain.

Sleeping provides not only a rest from usual activity, but a recharge of energy. Waking life involves the expenditure of energy, so in this way a portion of the species uses energy while the other half is being replenished. In a manner of speaking, the mind sends out electromagnetic patterns that are used almost like aerial bridges, upon which the signals of consciousness travel invisibly through your world. This kind of foundation is continually laid with great diligence by the sleeping portion of the species. The waking portion provides, say, the material supplies that visibly appear as objects or as events. These objects or events must be laid upon that prior framework, however. These “invisible electromagnetic bridges” exist in networks that twine and intertwine, inclining reality to appear in certain fashions.

The physical explorations of your planet followed such dream information in one way or another. The explorers were not going out blindly. Period. The alternate waking and sleeping patterns—that is, one portion of the species sleeping while the other portion wakes—allows a clear division between waking and sleeping information. In the waking state you check your perception against physical conditions. You see whether or not others perceive what you do. Physical data are the result of pooled information to a large degree. If it is raining outside, everyone should get wet. In the dream state information is not immediately checked against the environment. It may be raining in a dream but your sleeping body remains dry. Your dreams largely involve conditions that were physical, or conditions that might be physical. There, then, the race deals with probabilities.

(10:20.) In practical terms there is a dream consensus of opinion, where tomorrow’s physical events are decided upon. They will be physically checked when they occur. In ages past, the most proficient dreamers picked up ahead of time the news, and passed it on to others. They dealt with symbols, but the populace understood the symbols as you understand your newspaper.

I have spoken often of the precognition of cells, but the unspeakably vast world communication at that level is unimaginable—yet it goes on constantly.

(10:44.) Now we come to Dialogues (with much humor)—in a brilliant connection of material—for Dialogues presents an intuitive odyssey. It is a book telling of interior events. It is highly rational, but it is not the type of rationality that people are familiar with. The interior events are not “structured” by the use of drugs. Which could explain the events for many people. Under drugs anything can seem to happen.

The use of drugs even offers a pseudo-scientific explanation for interior events. Ruburt deals with the interior world the way most people deal with the exterior one. People find that in Dialogues disconcerting. In Ruburt’s other books his critical prose frames interior events, but in Dialogues there is no such frame. And the language is that of poetry. The form alienates many people because they are afraid of leaving the structured language of prose behind.

In the past, again, poetry was an important method of communication, but the “rationally” tuned mind suspects it. There is often nothing to be checked in it against physical reality in a concrete manner, for the message is intuitional and internal. People like poetry as a rule in your society only when it is dealing with conventional subjects, or directly with nature, so that in a way, now, the intuitions are used “to a rational end.”

Many are indistinguishable from others in people’s minds, but our books literally do change people’s realities, and ultimately their lives and all of the people with whom they come in contact. In that regard the books are powerful, and their impact cannot be ascertained in mundane ways. You are, then, using your point of power to affect your world—a point you should each remember.

A dream may be said to be “ahead of its time” if it occurs tonight but foretells events that will not occur for a while. The dreamer is still very much couched in the physical world, however. It would be of some considerable value if you both emphasized your belonging in the natural world, rather than emphasizing the fact that you are ahead of your cultural times.

Alienation in small doses can be a stimulus for achievement, but overdone it is of no help at all. Your feelings, so brief this evening as you looked outdoors, were therapeutic, rewarding, positive. Your cells were even aware in their way of your emotion. The summer night was here, present to your senses. Had you at the same moment instead thought, for example, about Prentice-Hall in a negative way, or about any other negative event of the past or probable future, you would have responded to an event that in an important way was not immediately a part of the facts of the natural world.

It is basically far more rational to enjoy the summer night present to your senses than to react instead to unpleasant events separated from you in probabilities. This is not Pollyanna behavior, but a healthy response that has been lost by many people.

(11:42.) Now Ruburt has been concentrating upon the symptoms, imagining this or that, often not responding to the moment as it is, but to imagined future events and moments filled with threat or difficulty. Three hours of free writing time are not supposed to be three hours of worry. His state of anxiety must be lessened. The eye condition would disappear, and much more quickly, if he would think of other things, and follow the instructions I have given.

Ruburt is used to dealing with subjective events. He examines them. For him it is important, more than for many others, that he choose events with some discretion. When his mental event is, say, a book, he becomes engrossed in it, and this is positive. When he becomes overly concerned with his symptoms, however, the same event occurs, the same process, but with negative results.
