“No consciousness exists in any system without this capsule enclosing it. These capsules have also been called astral bodies. The seventh Inner Sense allows for an expansion or contraction of this tissue capsule.”

“This sense operates in two ways. It can be an extension or enlargement of the self, a widening of its boundaries and of conscious comprehension. It can also be a pulling together of the self into an ever-smaller capsule that enables the self to enter other systems of reality. The tissue capsule surrounds each consciousness and is actually an energy field boundary, keeping the inner self’s energy from seeping away.

EXPANSION OR CONTRACTION OF THE TISSUE CAPSULE

(And from the 40th session:) The tissue capsule is actually an energy field boundary … At the same time it protects the whole self from certain radiations which do not here concern you. No living consciousness exists on any plane without this tissue capsule enclosing it … To some inhabitants of other planes [realities] that have access to your plane, all that can be seen of you is this capsule, since such inhabitants have had no experience in your particular type of camouflage [physical] construction. Therefore your camouflage patterns are invisible to them, but the tissue capsules are not.¹

[...] Surprisingly, she’d tuned into one he hadn’t told us much about yet: Expansion or Contraction of the Tissue Capsule.)

[...] This seventh inner sense represents an extension of the self, a widening of its conscious comprehension … or a pulling together into … a minute capsule that enables the self to enter other fields.

Within it will be found the capsule comprehension of which we have spoken earlier. This is an attribute of energy itself in its pure form, and even when it is, so to speak, broken down or individualized, the capsule comprehension is in no way either lessened or simplified.

This capsule comprehension I call capsule comprehension, since innate comprehension of itself and its workings is part of what you may think of as the fiber or makeup of all energy, regardless of any given particular form that it might take, or regardless of the camouflage it might form of itself.

The comprehension is condensed, but the term capsule is merely one that I have chosen. All units of individual consciousness contain this capsule comprehension, and it represents the most minute unit of consciousness about which a mental enclosure, or self, can be constructed. [...]

The capsule of course is not a solid on any plane. To some inhabitants of other planes that have access to your plane, all that can be seen of you is this tissue capsule, since such inhabitants have had no experience in your particular type of camouflage construction. Therefore your camouflage patterns are invisible to them, but the tissue capsules are not.

Now that we have briefly discussed the meaning of a tissue capsule I will go into the seventh inner sense a bit more deeply. This sense allows for an expansion or contraction of the tissue capsule. [...]

The tissue capsule of which I have spoken earlier surrounds every living consciousness. [...]

[...] Operating in a contrary manner, for example, there is a pulling together of the self into an ever smaller and more minute capsule that enables the self to enter into other fields, and experience various rather alien planes.

[...] He went along with it, which is very good, but he didn’t sustain it long enough so that he could distinguish the other tissue capsules which came within his own extended awareness.

I have said little about these tissue capsules. [...]

[...] Using this sense, you penetrate through the capsule that encloses the self. [...]

In the past I spoke of the innate capsule comprehension, which exists within all cells. [...]

(See sessions 86 and 87 for material on mental enclosures, and Session 87 also for material on capsule comprehension.

Energy as it comes through your plane is individualized; and indeed, irregardless of any other theories, all energy contains some consciousness, in simple or more complicated gestalt fashion, as I have mentioned that atoms and molecules so possess a limited consciousness, and a generalized subconsciousness which contains within it a capsule comprehension of the universe as a whole.

[...] Capsule comprehension exists even in the smallest particle of energy, and even within the smallest particle of energy there exists all possibilities of development and creation.

[...] The holidays mean that the affair will be put of a while, so in capsule effect you have now the quintessence of the problem: now facing the issues that you earlier ignored. [...]

[...] This extension involves a reaching out of tissue capsule. [...]

It involves the inner self, and the tissue capsule which also surrounds the physical camouflage body in a manner and for a purpose which I have briefly explained in an earlier session.

The pulsating that I mentioned earlier as extension and contraction involves the use of certain frequencies inherent in the tissue capsule, and to some small degree represents or is a limited aspect of the ability of the inner self to change frequencies and pulsations in an even freer, less limited manner. [...]

[...] In capsule form, then, Ruburt found himself born poor, female, and highly gifted. [...]

[...] (Pause.) Prentice-Hall, in capsule form, so to speak, is a representative of the most diverse kinds of thought currently held in your country — that is, under it’s overall auspices you have the most conventional establishment-oriented textbooks, devoted to continuing traditional ideas. [...]

[...] The publishing house — that publishing house — represents in capsule form the extremes of thought of your time, from the most conventional to the most bizarre. [...]

[...] We have spoken in the past of capsule comprehension. [...]

(Many sessions have dealt with capsule comprehension, some of them being the 24th, 27th, 29th, 62nd-64th; the 87th and 131st particularly, as well as later ones.)

In a capsule: Self-disapproval. [...]

(Pause.) In a capsule, comparing yourself to what you think you should be, and largely because of troubles with communication. [...]

It goes without saying that each newborn consciousness within your system carries within it the capsule comprehension of which I have previously spoken; and if you recall, each atom and molecule, each and every smallest particle that can by any stretch of the imagination be called physical matter, contains within it its own independent capsule comprehension—inherent suggestions in coded form, in not one but several codes, that give complete instructions for development and growth.

[...] You must remember that over a year ago we discussed tissue capsules. [...]

(The 7th inner sense is: Expansion or Contraction of the Tissue Capsule. [...]

Actually, through the generic system each cell possesses capsule comprehension, (pause) that is a certain kind of visualizing, and an emotional charge. [...]

I have mentioned that each physical construction is composed of atoms and molecules, which also possess a generalized consciousness and capsule comprehension. [...]

Each physical glass is constructed of quite real molecules and atoms, which have their own generalized consciousness and capsule comprehension, and which form together in the gestalt called a glass.

[...] As you should know, like all other atoms and molecules, its atoms and molecules had capsule comprehension, generalized consciousness. [...]

[...] And pertaining to our imaginary situation concerning the three glasses, you must realize then that each of these three glasses, being valid physical constructions, are composed of atoms and molecules that contain their own capsule comprehension and generalized consciousness.

[...] In capsule form: The data given in connection with a Boston trip, with New York City not heard from yet by us; yet events during the New York City trip, a couple of days after the Boston trip, bear a close resemblance to the data. [...]
