Now: there is one large point, underestimated by all of your psychologists when they list the attributes or characteristics of consciousness. I am going to tie in this material with our discussion on our electromagnetic energy units, as there is a close connection.

Again: when you are in a state that is not the usual waking one, when you have forsaken this daily self, you are, nevertheless, conscious and alert. You merely block out the memory from the waking ego. So when the attributes of consciousness are given, creativity is largely ignored. It is assigned, instead, primarily to the unconscious. My point is that the unconscious is conscious. Creativity is one of the most important attributes of consciousness, then. We will differentiate between normal ego consciousness and consciousness that only appears unconscious to that ego.

Having determined upon physical reality as a dimension in which it will express itself, the inner self, first of all, takes care to form and maintain the physical basis upon which all else must depend—the properties of earth that can be called natural ones. The inner self has a vast and infinite reservoir from which to draw knowledge and experience. All kinds of choices are available, and the diversity of physical matter is a reflection of this deep source of variety.
