DREAM TRYOUTS

Leave a comment

Children actually try out in dreams the various courses open to them. We may act out probabilities within dream reality and try out alternatives, and not necessarily short-term ones. For example, you would have made an excellent doctor. In your terms, you worked out this possibility by weaving, over a period of three years, a dream framework in which you learned exactly what your life would have been, had you gone into medicine.

This was more than imaginative. You examined one probability and chose another. The individual, then, chooses which probabilities he/she desires to actualize physically. In one such episode, for example, you followed your present course through; therefore, you are subconsciously aware of your own ‘future’ – since you chose it. There are always new choices, however. You foresaw the future possibilities within the main choice system.

In your present life, the same process continues. Most of these dreams are very disconnected from the ego and will not be recalled. The self who pursues these divergent paths is actual, however. The doctor you might have been once dreamed of a probable universe in which he/she would be an artist. He continues to work out his/her own probabilities. He/she exists in fact. You call his/her system an alternate system of probability, but this is precisely what he/she would call yours.

Now you will have some experiences that are shared in the dream state. They will be involved with episodes familiar to you both before you went your separate ways. You are like two limbs from the same tree. You recognize the same mother.

Now you will have some experiences that are root dreams. They serve as a method of maintaining inner identity and communication. Projections can also occur from these – that is, you may, for example, project into the life of the doctor. (I am using you and the doctor as an example. Art, you see, is also closely connected with healing. The projections of which I spoke happen occasionally and spontaneously on both your parts.)

Reincarnation is but a part of this probability system, the part that falls within our particular universe. There are also root dreams shared by the race as a whole. Most of these are not as symbolic as Jung thought them to be but are literal interpretations of the abilities used by the inner self. For that matter, as your know, flying dreams need not be symbolic of anything. They can be valid experiences, though often intermixed with other drea elements. Falling dreams are also simple experience in many instances, representing downward motion. or a loss of form-control during projection.

THE BREATHER AND THE DREAMER

Leave a comment

Some part of the individual is aware of the most minute portions of breath; some part knows immediately of the most minute particle of oxygen and other components that enter the lungs. The thinking brain does not know. Our all-important ‘I” does not know. In actuality, my dear Blog reader, the all-important ‘I’ does know. We do not know the all-important ‘I’, and that is our difficulty

It is fashionable in our time to consider man/woman as the product of the brain and an isolated bit of the subconscious, with a few other odds and ends thrown in for good measure. Therefore, with such an unnatural division, it seems to man/woman that he/she does not know itself.

He/she says, ‘I’ breathe, but who breathes, since consciously I cannot tell myself to breathe or not to breathe?’ He/she says, ‘I dream.’ He/she cuts himself/herself in half and then wonders why he/she is not whole. Man/woman have admitted only those things he/she could see, smell, touch or hear; and in so doing, he/she could only appreciate half of himself/herself. And when I say half, I exaggerate; he/she is aware of only a third of himself/herself.

If man/woman dot not know who breathes within him/her, and if man/woman does not know who dreams within him/her, it is not because there is one self who acts in the physical universe and another who dreams and breathes. It is because he/she has buried the part of himself/herself which breathes and dreams. If these functions seem so automatic as to be performed by someone completely divorced from himself/herself, it is because he/she has done the divorcing.

The part of us who dreams is the ‘I’ as much as the part of us who operates in any other manner. The part of us who dreams is the part of us who breathes. This part of us is certainly as legitimate and necessary to us as a whole unitis, as the part who plays cards or dominos. It would seem ludicrous to suppose that such a vital matter as breathing would be left to a subordinate, almost completely divorced, poor-relative sort of a esser personality.

As breathing is carried on in a manner that seems automatic to the conscious mind, so the important function of transforming the vitality of the universe into patter units seems to be carried on automatically. But this transformation is not as recognize, and so it seems as if this transformation is carried on by someone even more distant than our breathing and dreaming selves.

We form the world of appearances as effortlessly and unconsciously as we breathe.

Because we know that we breathe, without being consciously aware of the mechanics involved, we are forced to admit that we do our own breathing. When we cross a room, we are forced to admit that we have caused oneself to do so, though consciously we have no idea of willing the muscles to move, or of stimulating one tendon or another. Yet even though we admit these things, we do not really believe them.

In our quiet unguarded moments, we still say, ‘Who breathes? Who dreams? Who moves?’ How much easier it would be to admit freely and wholeheartedly the simple fact that we are not consciously aware of vital parts of oneself and that we are more than we think we are.

Man/woman, for example, trusts himself/herself much more when he/she says, ‘I will read,’ and then he/she reads, than he/she does when he/she says, ‘I will see,’ and then he/sees. He/she remembers having learned to read, but he/she does not remember having learned to see, and what he/she cannot consciously remember, he/she fears.

The fact is that although no one taught him/her to see, he/she sees. The part of himself/herself that did ‘teach’ him/her to see still guides his/her movements, still moves the muscles of his/her eyes, still becomes conscious despite him/her when he/she sleeps, still breathes for him/her without thanks or recognition and still carries on his/her task of transforming energy from an inner reality into an outer one. Man/woman becomes trapped by his/her own artificially divided self.

It is true that, as a rule, we are not aware of our whole entity. There is no reason, however, why we must be blind to the whole self of our present personality, which is part of the entity, and which can be glimpsed in terms of the breathing and dreaming ‘self’ of which I have spoken.

It is convenient not to be consciously aware of each breath we take, but it is sheer stupidity to ignore the inner self which does the breathing and is aware of the mechanics involved. I have said that the mind is a part of the inner world, but we have access to our own minds, which we ignore; and this access would lead us inevitably to truths about outer the outer world. Working inward, we could understand the outward more clearly.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME

Leave a comment

Physical time is a camouflage. Psychological time belongs to the inner self, that is, to the mind. It is, however, a connective, a portion of the inner senses which we will call, for convenience, The Second Inner Sense. It is a natural pathway, meant to give easy access from the inner to the outer world and back again.

Time to our dreaming self is much like ‘time’ to our waking inner self. The time concept in dreams may seems far different than our conception of time in the waking state when we have our eyes on the clock and are concerned with getting to some destination by say, 12:15. But it is not so different from time in the waking state when we are sitting alone with our thoughts. Then, I am sure, we will see the similarity between this alone sort of inner psychological time, experienced often in waking hours, and the sense of time experienced often in a dream.

I cannot say this too often – we are far more than the conscious mind, and the self which we do not admit is the portion that not only insures our own physical survival in the physical universe which it has made, but which is also the connective between oneself and inner reality. It is only through the recognition of the inner self that the race of man/woman will ever use its potential.

The outer senses will not help man/woman achieve the inner purpose that drives him/her. Unless he/she uses the inner senses, he/she may lose whatever he/she have gained.

CLOCK TIME

Leave a comment

Psychological Time is so a part of inner reality that even though the inner self is still connected to the body, we are, in the dream framework, free of some very important physical effects. Now, as dreams seem to involve us in duration that is independent of clock time, so can we achieve the actual experience of duration as far as our inner visions are concerned.

Clock Time was invented by the ego to protect the ego, because of the mistaken conception of dual existence; that is, because man/woman felt that a predictable, conscious self did the thinking and manipulating, and an unpredictable self did the breathing and dreaming. He/she set up boundaries to protect the ‘predictable’ self from the ‘unpredictable’ self and ended up by cutting the whole self in half.

Originally, Psychological Time allowed man to live in the inner and outer worlds with relative ease, and man/woman felt much closer to his/her environment. In prehistoric times, mankind/womankind evolved the ego to help him/her deal with camouflage patterns that he/she had, himself/herself, created. This is not contradiction, as will be explained later. He/she did the job so well the even when he/she had things well under control, he/she was not satisfied. He/she developed at a lopsided level. The inner senses led him/her into a reality he/she could not manipulate as easily as he/she could physical camouflage, and he/she felt what he/she thought of as a loss of mastery.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME III

Leave a comment

It is a natural connective to the inner world. As we can experience days or hours within its framework inthe dreamstate and not age for the comparable amount of physical time, so as we develop, we will be able to rest and be refreshed within Psychological Time even when we are awake. This will aid our mental and physical state to an amazing degree. We will discover an added vitality and a decreased need to sleep. Within any given five minutes of Clock Time, for example, we my find an hour of resting which is independent of Clock Time.

We can look through psychological time time at Clock Time and even use clock time then to our greater advantage; but without the initial recognition of Psychological Time, Clock Time becomes a prison. A proper use of Psychological Time will not only lead us to inner reality but will prevent us from being rushed in the physical world. It provides quiet and peacefulness.

From its framework we will see that that clock time is as dreamlike as we once thought inner time was. We will discover that ‘inner time’ is as much a reality as we once considered outer time to be. In other words, peeping inwards and outwards at the same ‘time’ we will find that all divisions ae illusion and all Time is One Time,

EXAMINE YOUR DREAMS

Leave a comment

Look for these when you examine your own dreams:

  1. Dream locations that represent places familiar to you in your present daily life.
  2. Dream locations that represent places (such as foreign countries) to which you have never really traveled.
  3. Dreams locations that represent definite places that appear as they were in the past. If you dream of your childhood home as it was, not as it is now, then the location would belong in the category.
  4. Dream locations that represnt places that no longer exist physically.
  5. Strange, completely unfamiliar, dream locations.
  6. Indistinct dream locations.
  7. Strange dream locations to which you keep returning.

THE PURPOSE OF DREAM RECALL

Leave a comment

We will be involved with a study of the characteristics of the dream world in general and attempt to isolate it as a separate reality for the purposes of examination. Then we shall regard it in its relation to physical reality, using comparisons and dissimilarities.

This will then allow us to proceed into the relationship between the waking and sleeping personality and discover the many ways in which the personality’s aims and goals are not only reflected but sometimes achieved in and through the dream condition.

Usually the dream state is considered from a negative standpoint and compared unfavorably with the waking condition. Emphasis is laid upon those conditions present in the waking state but absent from the dreaming experience. We shall consider those aspects of consciousness which are present in the dream environment and absent in the physical one. No study of human personality can pretend to be thorough that does not take the importance of dream reality into consideration.

In some discussions we will state the ways in which conscious goals can be achieved with the help of the dreaming self. All of this material will be reinforced with experiments that, I hope, you will conduct yourselves.

It is amazing how man/woman regrets the hours spent in sleep. He/she does not realize how hard he/she works when the ego is unaware. We hope to make this clear. We hope to let you catch yourselves in the act of doing so. You will realize how productive dream experiences are and the ways in which they are woven into the tapestry of your entire experience.

As mentioned previously, we will also deal with the nature of space, time and distance, as they appear in the dream environment. Some of our experiments along these lines will be most Illuminating. Here the ego cannot go, but it can benefit from the information, and perhaps in time, even a shadow of the ego may pass through that strange land and feel in some small way at home.

THE DREAM WORLD

Leave a comment

As there is in actuality no beginning or end to a dream, so there is no beginning or end to any reality. A dream does not then begin or end; only your awareness of a dream begins and ends. You come into awareness of a dream, and you leave it, but in our terms of time, the dreams that you seem to dream tonight have been long inexistence. They seem to begin tonight because you are aware of them tonight.

You do create your own dreams. Nevertheless, you do not create them during a specific point in time. The beginnings of dreams reach back into ‘past’ lives of which you are not aware and beyond even this; the origins are part of a heritage that was before our planet existed.

For every consciousness existed simultaneously and in essence, even before what you may call the beginnings of our world. And what you are yet to be existed then and still exists now – and not as some still unfulfilled possibility but in actuality.

What you will be, you are now, not in some misty half-real form but in a most real sense. You simply are not aware of these selves on a conscious level any more than you are aware of ‘past’ lives. But each of you creates a dream world of validity, actuality, durability and self-determination, in the same way that the entity projects the reality of its various personalities. As there is usually no contact between the entity and the ordinary conscious ego, there is usually no contact on a conscious level between the self who dreams and the dream world which has its own independent existence.

And in the same way that the dream world has no beginning or end, neither does the physical universe with which you are familiar. No energy can be withdrawn, and this includes the energy used in the continuous subconscious construction of the dream world. You continually create it – have always created it. It is the product of your own existence, and yet you can neither consciously call it into existence nor destroy it.

THE NATURE OF THE DREAM WORLD AND ANIMAL DREAMS

Leave a comment

The dream world is, then, a natural byproduct of the relationship between the inner self and the physical being – not a reflection, but a byproduct – involving not only a chemical reaction, but also the transformation of energy from one state to another.

In some respects, all planes or fields of existence are byproducts of others. For example, without the peculiar spark set off through the interrelationship between the inner self and the physical being, the cream world would not exist. But conversely, the dream world is a necessity for the continued survival of the physical individual.

This point is extremely important. As you know, animals dream. What you do not know is that all consciousness dreams. Atoms and molecules have consciousness, and this minute consciousness forms its own dreams even as, on the other hand, it forms its own physical image. As in the material world, atoms combine for their own benefit into more complicated structures, so do they combine to form such gestalts in the dream world.

I’ve said that the dream world has its own sort of form and permanence. It is physically oriented, though not to the degree inherent in our ordinary universe. In the same way that the physical image is built up, so is the dream image. You can refer to our previous discussions on the nature of matter to help you understand, but the dream world is not a formless, haphazard semi-construction.

It does not exist in bulk, but it does exist in form. The true complexity and importance of the dream world as an independent field of existence has yet been fully impressed upon us. Yet, while our world and the dream world are basically independent, they exert pressures and influences one upon the other.

The dream world, then, is a byproduct of your own existence (from your standpoint). It is connected to you through chemical reactions and this leaves open the entryway of interactions. Since dreams are a byproduct of any consciousness involved with matter, then trees have their dreams. All physical matter, being formed about individualized units of consciousness of varying degrees, also participates in the involuntary construction of the dream world.

DREAMS AND THE CRUCIFIXION

Leave a comment

I mentioned the Crucifixion once, saying that it was an actuality and a reality, although it did not take place in our time. it took place where time is not as we know it, in the same sort of time in which a dream takes place. Its reality was felt by generations and was reacted to. Not being a phyusical reality, it influenced the world of physical matter in a way that no purely physical reality ever could.

The crucifixion was one of the gigantic realities that transformed and enriched both the universe of dreams and the universe of matter, and it originated in the world of dreams. It was main contribution of that field to our own and could be compared physically to an emergence of a new planet within the physical universe.

The Ascension of the Christ is, also a contribution of the world of dreams to our own universe, representing knowledge within the dream system that man/woman was independent of physical matter.

Many concepts, advancements and practical inventions simpl wait in abeyance in the world of dreams until some man/woman accepts them as possibilities within his/her frame of reality. Imagination is waking man’s/woman’s connection with the world of dreams. Imagination often restates dream data and applies it to particular circumstances or problems within the physical system. Its effect may appear within matter, but it it itself not physical. Often the dream world possesses concepts which will one day completely transform the history of our field, but a denial of such concepts as actualities or possibilities within reality hold these back and put off breakthroughs that are sorely needed.

Such developments would mean the releasing of added energy into your field. Ideas and concepts are nonphysical actualities that attract unaligned energy, direct and concentrate it. The dream world exists more closely in that spacious present of which the inner self is so aware. It is not as involved with camouflage.

It might be said, then, that in many ways the dream universe depends upon us to give it expression, in the same manner that we also depend upon it to find expression.

The impact of any dream has physical, chemical, electromagnetic, psychological and psychic repercussions that are actual and continuing. The type of dream or the types of dream experienced by any given individual are determined by many different factors. I am speaking now of the dream experience as it occurs and not of the remnant of it that his/her ego allows him/her to recall.

As an individual creates his/her physical image and environment according to his/her abilities and effects, and in line with his/her expectations and inner needs, so does he/she create his/her dreams; and these interact with the outer environment.

However, with the ego at rest in sleep, the individual often allows communications and dream constructions through – past the ego barrier. For example, if his/her present expectations are faulty, when the ego rests, he/she may recieve a time when expectations were high. The resulting dream will partially break the circle of poor expectations with their shoddy physical constructions and start such an individual along a constructive path. In other words, a dream may begin to transform the physical environment through lifting inner expectation.

THE ELECTRIC REALITY OF DREAMS AND DREAM LOCATIONS

Leave a comment

We have seen that all experience is retained in electrically coded data within the cells and that the material of the cells forms about this coded experience. We have seen that the ego begins, sparked into being by the inner self, greatly influenced by heredity and physical environment; and that thus ego, as it continues to exist, builds up an electrical reality of its own and forms its experiences, into the coded data within the cells.

At any given ‘point,’ the ego is complete within electrical reality as it is psychologically complete within the physical universe. This includes the retention of its dream as well as the retention of purely physical data.

the electrical system is composed of electricity that is far different from our idea of it. electricity, as we perceive it, is merely an echo emanation or a sort of shadow image of these infinite varieties of pulsation which give actuality to many phenomena with which we are familiar, but which do not appear as tangible objects within the physical field.

This electrical system is vastly dense. this is a denseness that does not take up space, a denseness caused by an infinity of electrical fields of varying ranges of intensity. Not only are no two of these electrical fields identical, but there are no identical impulses within them.

the gradations of intensities are so minute that it would be impossible to measure them, and yet each field contains in coded form the actual living reality of endless eons; contains what we would call the past, present, and future of unnumbered invierses; contains the coded data of any and every consciousness that has been or will be, in any universe; those that have appeared to vanish, and those which, seemingly, do not yet exist.

this density is extremely important, for it is a density of intensities. And it is the infinite variety and gradations of intensity that makes all identities possible and all gestalts, all identities in terms of personalities and fields and universes. It is this density, with this infinite variety of intensity, which allows for both identity and change.

The electricity that is perceivable within our system is merely a projection of a vast electrical system that we cannot perceive. So far, scientists have been able to study electricity only by observing the projections of it that are perceivable within their terms of reference. As their physical instruments become more sophisticated, they will not be able to explain it within their known system of references, many curious and distorted explanations of reported phenomena will be given.

Yet the inner self offers so many clues. It operates outside of physical references. It is, of itself, free of the distorted effects peculiar to the physical system. A study of dreams, for example, would make many of these points clear, yet many scientists consider such work beneath them.

Why has no one suspected that dream locations have not only a psychological reality but a definite actuality? A study of dream locations is most important. Dream locations are composed of electrical mass, density and intensity. Here is another point: Definite work may be done in a dream, but the physical arms and legs are not tired. This would seem contrary to our known laws, but no one has looked into this.

It is most difficult to even hint at the myriad complexity and dimension of the electrical actuality as it exists. When we consider that each of our own thoughts is composed of a unique intensity of impulse, shared by nothing else; that the same may be said for every dream we will have in our lifetime; and that all our experience is gathered together in particular ranges of intensity, again completely unique; and that the summation of all that we are exists in one minute range or band of intensities, then you will see how difficult this is to explain.

This not only applies to your physical field but also to others. Your field is contained within its own range of intensities, a tiny band of electrical impulses a million times smaller than one note picked at random from the entire mass of musical composition that has ever been written or ever will be written. I am not going too deeply into this now because you are not ready. But because of the infinite range of intensities available, each individual has limitless intensities within which he/she can move.

All motion is mental or psychological motion, and all mental or psychological motion has its electrical reality. The inner self moves by moving through intensities. Each new experience opens a new pulsation intensity. To move through intensities within the electrical system gives the result, in the physical field, of moving through time. We will also discuss this later, in connection with so-called astral travel.
