Indeed, your own moments of so-called inspiration in your work, will be seen to follow such periods of immersion, from which the subconscious then acquires its inspiration. Any purposes you would like to achieve should be mentioned to the subconscious before such periods of sensuous immersion or contemplation, and then forgotten on a conscious level.

You are doing so now. Ruburt is doing so now. Your lack of success lately with psychological time has been to a large measure caused by too great a conscious concentration upon the task. An emotional acceptance, distasteful as this may seem to Ruburt, is the answer here, and again a sensual immersion in the spacious present and in nature will refresh you here.

You may know that intense immersion into any particular activity results in a momentary loss, or seeming loss, of ego identity, in that the activity and the personality become one. Ruburt becomes his poem during such occasions, and you become your painting.

History, as you think of it, represents but one thin line of probabilities, in which you are presently immersed. [...] Evolution, as you think of it and as it is categorized by your scientists, represents but one probable line of evolution, the one in which, again, you are presently immersed.

[...] Within the framework of physical reality, then, granting the necessity for death, the body has renewing qualities that come to it from Framework 2. The cells of your body are immersed in Framework 2’s reality. [...]

The spontaneous self, the creative self, is also immersed in Framework 2, and the creative conscious mind springs from there also, even though its focus must of necessity be in Framework 1’s world of space and time.

Even while immersed in physical reality, you are then to some extent free of it. Physical reality itself is still a dream within a larger existence, so from that existence you seem to yourself to be dreaming while you are immersed in physical life. [...]

[...] In a reincarnational sense, the personality for a while takes the role of a sick person, as an actor would, and is completely immersed in it. [...] The person in the reincarnational role is as immersed in it as possible. [...]

Your whole civilization is immersed with the idea that the way to solve a problem–any problem, private or worldwide–is to exaggerate it, see its worst projection; and this, then, is supposed to make you take proper action. [...]

This will not be a dry, intellectual exploration, because the intent itself will begin to trigger within your lives the emergence of hints and clues as to your own immersion in Framework 2’s creativity.

[...] Actually the two merge, of course, for your Framework 1 existence is immersed in Framework 2. Again, your body itself is constantly replenished in Framework 1 because of its simultaneous reality in Framework 2.
