DREAMS AND PROBABLE EVENTS

If you would have some idea of what the probable universe is like, then examine your own dreams, looking for those events which do not have any strong resemblance to the physical events of waking existence. Look for dream individuals with whom you are not acquainted in normally conscious life. Look for landscapes that appear bizarre or alien, for all of these exist somewhere. You have perceived them. They do not exist in the space that you know but neither are they non-existent, mere imaginative toys of the dreaming mind, without substance.

You may not be able to make sense from what appears to be a chaotic jungle of disconnected images and actions. The main reason for your confusion is the inability of an egotistical identity to perceive order that is not based upon continuity of moments. The order within the probable system is based upon something that could be compared to subjective associations or intuitive flashes of insight – experiences that can combine ingredients that could appear to the ego as disconnected. Here they are combined into whole integrated patterns of action.

The probable system does not achieve its order through subjective association, but the term is the nearest I can use to approximate the basic casues for this order. Ther events within it are, indeed, objective and concrete within their own field of reality, for example. Our own system is real and concrete only within its own field, remember.

In sleep not only do we withdraw from the physical field of actuality but we also enter other systems.

THE EXPRESSION OF INTELLIGENCE

Again, as I have stated in past Blogs, these beings, though certainly quite ” primitive” in appearance, in that they were covered in long hair, wore no clothing, and expressed themselves in a series of grunts and “animal” noises, were of fairly high intelligence. The eyes, you see, expressed this capacity for knowledge, and the expression of intelligence. We could see this potential in the eyes of these beings.

Now they were tool-makers of high sophistication. Though they were not to reach the great heights achieved by other civilizations, they were quite adept at creating from the natural environment in which they found themselves. Comfortable structures in which to live, raise their families, and so on.
