In the same way, beneath your conscious use of language there lies a vast inner communication, a mental system upon whose basis language must rest. There you deal with ideas and concepts in a far different context, if you prefer, one that deals with similarities, complementary relationships, unities. This is the most complex of systems, in which each detail has meaning—not only because of its unique individual nature, but because of the greater meaning that any one detail has in the larger mental structure of the universe.

(10:05.) Those processes, however, contain the basic mental structures from which ideas and concepts as you understand them come, and they are also responsible for the inner mental and psychological processes, individually and worldwide, that form private and mass physical reality.

I am hampered here by your ideas of ideas, to begin with. Again, you put the world and experience together in ways that you have learned so thoroughly that no other ways seem possible. Your beliefs about thoughts, for example, are a part of such learning, and they invisibly structure your understanding.

When I say “You create your own reality through your thoughts,” you, meaning anyone, have a tendency to imagine each thought as a small brick, a psychological object, each one being formed into the structure of your experience. This can be an advantageous way of understanding certain principles—and I may have well hinted of such analogies myself. In your existence it is quite reasonable to visualize a desired event, for example, in the belief that the image and thought will help make the event physically real – and so it shall. It may also of course mean that other, perhaps more desirable events that you have not thought of may not happen—because you have been so specific, and perhaps determined your desire from your own level of understanding only—where the reservoirs of this deeper mental system might have been able to tell you that the event you want so badly is not, after all, to your best interest.
