“While doing it, I felt mildly exhilarated. My consciousness gets a smooth feeling at such times, an easiness. Yet I was also aware of the same kind of reluctance I’d felt in the sleep state last night; as if I was trying to do something … difficult, or translate information that was more distant than usual from our ordinary concepts. I almost felt stubborn, like a reluctant child, wanting to do the thing but not wanting to make the effort at the same time. The easiness won over, though.
“Now I do recall something: I was getting a whole bunch of material and it was multidimensional. I was confused. I thought part of it went with stuff already given … but in a … probable way. I didn’t see how it could be inserted into a normal manuscript because it had this extra dimension. It was here that I got angry and woke myself up. As I opened my eyes, I realized that the material hadn’t been given yet in ‘Unknown’ Reality — though in the sleep state I was sure it had been.
“The whole thing had been going on for some time before I finally woke up with my objections. Several times earlier I’d awakened also, sat up, and smoked a cigarette. Each time as I lay down again, the material started coming. So the last time I said: ‘Now, look, Seth, if you want to take me to some of these probabilities, great; with you leading the way; but my consciousness is having a hell of a time handling whatever it is we’re doing.’ Then I fell asleep and the material stopped.”

[...] Not only can all cells respond to each other, but their mass activity triggers even higher centers of consciousness to respond to a given set of world conditions, rather than to other quite-as-legitimate world conditions that do not fit the accepted pattern. [...]
[...] You can, however, quite consciously leap from it — and you do often, when for a while, particularly in the dream state, you view the world from another perspective.
Give us a moment … In some adventures you do visit other probable realities in which you have a body structure quite as real as “your own.” [...]
