In such ways each individual maintains a picture of the everchanging physical and psychological mass environment. [...]

[...] You can walk out of that dream house into another environment; and theoretically at least you can explore that world, and the space within it will expand. There will be no spot in the dream where the environment will cease.”

You live in a waking and dreaming mental environment, however. In both environments you are conscious.

If, however, you pause first and wait a moment, you can begin to glimpse the environment that serves as a stage: the natural landscape of the dream reality. [...]

[...] Yet the creation of a definite inner environment or location is concerned.

[...] You are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development by perceiving the exterior environment. What seems to be a perception, an objective concrete event independent from you, is instead the materialization of your own inner emotions, energy, and mental environment.”

Many people, of course, feel that death is a new beginning, but most of us still think that we are formed and bound by our physical bodies and environment. [...]

Let Ruburt return to the definite 3-or-4-hour writing period, involving what he understands of Sumari time, interspersed with what you are doing to change the environment in the apartments—a good mixture of the mental and the physical. [...]

All manner of insects, birds and beasts cooperate in this venture, producing the natural environment. [...]

It is not as easy, however, to realize that your feelings and thoughts form your exterior experience in the same way, or that the events that appear to happen to you are initiated by you within your mental or psychic inner environment.

[...] Both look outward — in one case away from the physical body, and in the other case away from the inner psyche to the environment.
