The cells, the tissues, and the organs “expect” to grow, following their own natures. They expect that they will develop all of their capabilities. They do not think in terms of impediments, and when one is encountered they simply regard it as a challenge to be overcome, and then forgotten.

Children possess this high expectancy, this promise of future growth and development, and whenever those expectations are discouraged, then to that extent the quality of life itself is diminished. It is true, nevertheless, that many of the world’s organizations are formed around a completely different, opposing concept—taking it for granted that the worst possibility rather then the best one will be activated in the lives of its members.

Social life also becomes contaminated, so that people expect the worst rather than the best outcome for any endeavor or encounter. Laws then become based upon fear—

Dreams, for example, were once as clear, vivid, and real as waking life was. People did not expect their dreams to be vague, or unreasonable or chaotic, any more than they expected waking experience to be. Men and women in fact learned how to deal with daily life—daily waking life—by studying the lessons they received in the dream state. To a large extent the young species relied on dreams to teach them all they needed to know, just as in your time people rely on schools instead.
