(10:18.) New paragraph. Pretend that you have a radio with which you can clearly pick up 10 stations. First imagine that during the daily programming there are three soap operas, four news programs, several excellent dramas, a few operas, some popular music, several religious sermons, and some sports programs. Each of these has its own commercials or messages, which may or may not have anything to do with the programs given.
First of all, it would be nearly impossible for you to sample all of these programs with any effectiveness while going about your own affairs. To make matters more complicated, again, these programs do not involve only sound. Each one has its own dimensional realities. Beside that, there is a give-and-take between programs.
For example: Say that you have a certain Wilford Jones, who is a character in one of the soap operas.

All of the other characters in all of the other plays are also aware of our grocer. There is a constant, creative give-and-take between the day’s various programs. Period.
From the point of view of the perceiver these would be unofficial events, and yet they could serve as important clues to the nature of reality. The separate programs existing at once each have their own schedules, and from your reality you could not play them all at once. It seems to you that you are outside of the psyche, so you think of someone as yourself operating this radio from that external position. From your point of view you could not pick up the grocer’s escapades and the symphony, for instance, if both came through at 8 o’clock in the evening, without switching from one to the other: You would have to choose which program you wanted.
It is unfortunate that I must use terms of time to explain all of this to you, but as I told you many sessions ago, my time is not your time (humorously) … Because you ask specific questions at a specific session, it does not necessarily mean that the program has not been prepared, in your terms, earlier.
