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.

In that mental system, therefore, each detail is known with all of its probable variations, and in its relationship to all of the other multitudinous and indeed infinite living details that compose any given day. (With dry amusement:) There are a few rather interesting fields of endeavor that we have not mentioned thus far—a few million.

Now: this basic mental system provides the infant’s natural mental environment, and nurtures it so that the infant is anything but strictly programmed mentally. It is provided with endless variations of probable reality systems, to which it will be able to mentally relate, and into whose framework it will be able to pour its curiosity.

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.
