Deeper communications than you realize happen between the waking and sleeping members of the species, and in such a manner the formation of physical events is to some extent timed, or paced. The planning stages for events, and the inner communications necessary, occur on the part of the sleeping members, while the waking doers are involved in objective events.

Inner cooperation is maintained on the part of people in opposite portions of the world—methods that could not be utilized if all woke or slept at the same time. This hardly seems of ordinary interest at all, yet preplans for battles, for example, have been received in sleep states, in which an enemy in a far country planned an invasion and the signals were received through the world’s internal network of communication.

The alternate wake-sleep patterns of the world then, again, help pace the information. Some of those communications are cellular. You pick up broadcasts from all over, and literally on a million stations. The world mind needs all of that information in order to produce continuous world events. Because of its particular structure the work is divided. The world mind, then, in your terms, could not be conscious all at one time, and the varying graduated waking-sleeping patterns—the overlapping between the extremes you mention—provide overall balance and allow for smooth communications of an inner kind.

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.

To a lesser degree many of the remarks are to you also. You can pick and choose what you concentrate upon. The natural events are prime data. Those data can transform your inner life. You can instead—anyone can, that is—allow unsynchronized material from probabilities to adversely affect prime natural data, so that the safety of the moment becomes invaded by events that in certain terms have no prime reality.
