I told you when Tam was here (last week) that the books would change the nature of physical reality, and they will—to whatever degree as they alter beliefs and lead others into new experiences. We are introducing a different kind of consciousness as normal, as natural, and as good, broadening the frontiers of psychology, religion and science as well—again, to whatever degree.
It is not that we become initiators of some all-powerful movement or organization. Instead, all of those who read the books change themselves to some extent, look upon reality in a different way, and extend the frontiers of the private mind.
Young people in particular will alter the fields of endeavor, going into the arts or sciences or religions, and expanding them. This is being done at all levels, for the race as a whole is altering its framework. The old line of consciousness is breaking down, and at every level the “ignorant,” the wise, the lettered, the unlettered, the religious or the irreligious; it makes little difference. In whatever way, racial consciousness is in a time of change. We are contributors, and important ones. This does not mean we are the only contributors (period).

As Ruburt’s physical condition changes, this “merely” signifies a turnabout in his entire handling of himself as psyche and self form a new alliance.

To whatever extent, each of you in your way grew up in the belief system of your times. Ruburt is doing a complete turnabout. After years of relating to his body in one way, he is changing that relationship. You have been taught to follow certain rules. These said that you ate at certain times, slept at certain times, followed certain patterns because these were important. You were not taught to stress individual inclinations or leanings or characteristics, but to view any deviations as alarming. It seems highly impractical in that system of belief to tell an individual that he or she knows the best patterns of behavior to follow, to suggest that each person knows how much sleep he or she needs, or that left alone you will pick a correct diet—a diet geared to you. Instead it seems that there must be an overall diet suited for human beings in general, or a sleep pattern best for the race at large.
