[...] I wanted however to mention one small point concerning the box image that was repeated in both tests.

[...] Your dream images are biologically structured, then. The experiences behind them bring you in contact with the deepest portions of your nonphysical reality, and it is the unconscious who translates these for you into recognizable images and forms.

During certain stages in sleep states you short-circuit the neurological structures, and perceive experiences of a multidimensional nature that you then attempt to translate, as best you can, into stimuli that can be physically assimilated — hence you often convert these into symbolic images that can be understood, and to some extent reacted to, by your bodily structure.

[...]

[...] Let it come down and fill your physical image with joy and vitality, with energy that will fill out your cells and your tissues, with energy that will heal whatever is wrong with your physical being, with energy that will straighten out your thoughts, open up the self that you know to the knowledge that belongs to you (loud) and has belonged to you before the beginning of your time.

It is in the light of that image that Ruburt feels incompetent—a highly important point. He feels caught between that image of expected super-competence and the image of the Sinful Self, which feels competent of doing very little. [...]

Because like ideas do attract like, both electromagnetically and emotionally, the conscious mind found itself with two complete contradictory systems of belief, and two self-images. [...]

[...] This part of his beliefs, therefore, and this particular self-image, took over his conscious mind and became what we will here call Augustus Two. [...]

The beliefs whose energy generated this “alternate self image” then appeared in the daylight, acting out their natural results in physical reality. [...]

[...] Her beliefs then became the new foundation, the one point of change that allowed Augustus to view this alternate self-image with any kind of detachment at all.

[...] Your image was an excellent one and in your terms it represents the characteristics of space as you might relate to it and also to those black pockets of which the physicists are speaking where all realities swooped into these, so to speak. [...]

[...] Now you are ready for a further development in your abilities and two steps at that image will help you for there is a highly dependable personality, and we will not argue over the terms, in approximately that area that, in your terms is a composite of Bill and someone else. [...]

Imaginatively, examine your image from the viewpoint of another place in the photograph. See how the image can be seen as a part of the overall pattern of the environment — the room or furniture, or yard or whatever.

[...] See those other elements as characteristics of the image, view them as extended features that belong to you. [...]

“The eye projects and focuses the inner image (idea) onto the physical world in the same manner that a motion-picture camera transfers an image onto a screen.
