Now, you arbitrarily decide on the personal physical image as the exterior boundary of the self. [...]

[...] If you do not like the effects of a belief you must alter it, for no manipulation of the exterior conditions themselves will release you. [...]

Now: in Ruburt’s story of Emir, he presents a theoretical new earth, yet in the truest meaning of that term, earth is ever-new, for fresh energy comes into the exterior world from an interior source.

[...] The ego, in other words, the “exterior” self that you think of as your self — that portion of you maintains its safety and its seeming command precisely because inner layers of your own personality constantly uphold it, keep the physical body operating, and maintain communications with the multitudinous stimuli that come both from outside conditions and inside conditions. [...]

These images are interior, yet because they are so a part of your beliefs you will see them exteriorized also in your experience.

In this case you are yourself the programmer, and the true action is not where it appears to be — in the exterior events — but instead in the psyche, where you are writing and performing the drama. [...]

[...] He is concerned simply because these strong inner efforts will now become exteriorized to some extent. [...]

This is the myth of the exteriorized consciousness — a consciousness that you are told is open-ended only so far as objective reality is concerned. [...]
