IDEA CONSTRUCTION II

The ability of the entity to transform energy into an idea and then to construct it physically determines the entity’s place on the physical evolutionary plane. simple organisms are capable of “picking up” fewer communications, their range is less, but the vitality and validity of their constructions is excellent. In simple organisms such as the paramecium and amoeba, the few sharp ideas received are constructed almost simultaneously, without reflection. The organism needs no other mechanism to translate ideas. What is has is sufficient.

More complicated organisms – mammals, for example – have need of further mechanisms to construct ideas because they are able to perceive more of them. Here memory is an element. Now the organism has a built-in ghost image of past constructions by which to perfect and test new ones. Reflection of some sort enters into the picture, and with it the organism is given more to do. Slowly, within its range of receptivity, it is given some choice in the actual construction of ideas into physical reality.

The reflection is brief, but for a moment the animal partakes of a new dimension. The shadow of time glimmers in his eyes as the still imperfected memory of past constructions lingers in his/her consciousness. As yet, memory storage is small, but now the instantaneous construction is no longer instantaneous, in our terms. There is a pause: the organism – dog or tiger – can choose to attack or not to attack. The amoeba must construct its small world without reflection and without time as we know it.

Entities with still broader range need more complicated structure. The scope of their receptivity is so large that the simple autonomic nervous system is not enough. The amoeba constructs each idea it receives, because it is able to receive so few. All must be constructed to ensure survival. With man/woman, the opposite becomes true. He/she has such a range of receptivity that it is impossible for him/her to construct all of his/her ideas physically. As his/her scope widened, a mechanism was necessary that would allow him/her to choose. Self-consciousness and reason were the answers.

Suddenly, time blossomed like a strange flower in his/her skull. Before this he/she was transfixed in the present. But memory produced another dimension in the animal and man/woman carried it further. No longer did memory flicker briefly and disappear, enclosing him/her in darkness again. Now it stretched brightly behind him and also stretched our ahead – a road on which he/she always saw his/her own changing image.

He/she learned continuity: And with his/her focused memory at his/her command, man’s/woman’s ego was born, which could follow its own identity through the maze of blazing impulses that beset him/her, could recognize itself through the pattern of continuing constructions and could separate itself from its action in the physical world. Here you have the birth of subject and object, the I AM who is the doer or constructer, and the construction itself.

This new dimension enabled the species to manipulate and recognize its own constructions and freed it to focus greater energy in projecting some ideas over others. In other words, conscious purpose became possible, physically, Somewhere along the lone, however, man/woman began to divorce himself/herself almost completely and artificially form his/her own constructions. Hence his/her groping, his/her sense of alienation from nature, his/ehr search for a Cause or Creator of a creation he/she no longer recognized as his own.

DESTRUCTION AND CREATION

Currently we have the former situation I have just described. The threat of nuclear annihilation hangs heavy in the air. This we call the “Worst-Case-Scenario,” as presented to us by the religious groups that desire an Armageddon, by the producers of motion pictures and other media, who hope to frighten us into buying their products, by the average citizens of the world who have become accustomed to focusing on the creation of negative realities.

The collusion of these negative influences – the thoughts, images and emotions generated in the minds of vast populations of humans – creates a potential for the manifestation of this collective vision. Witness the Earth Changes such as the earthquakes, storms, tsunamis, erupting volcanoes, and so on. There are all the products of this focus on the negative. You may include our collapsing institutions, the Gulf Oil Disasters, and every other negative outcome in this analysis, as the fruit, in a sense, of this world tree of negativity.

Now conversely, the assemblage on the etheric levels of the positive ideas, images, emotions and other creative ephemera, builds the potential for the manifestation of the positive collective vision. The former is powered by fear, anger, envy, mistrust, and so on. The latter is powered by the virtues of humanity: Love and Courage, compassion, and others.

PLANE

A plane is not necessarily a planet. A plane may be one planet, but a plane may also exist where no planet is. One planet may have several planes. Planes may also involve various aspects of apparent time. Planes can and do intermix without the knowledge of the inhabitants. A plane may be a time, or only one iota of vitality that exists by itself. A plane may cease to be. Plane is formed for entities as patterns for fulfillment along various lines. It is a climate conducive to the development of unique and particular capabilities and achievements…….an isolation of elements.

It is often practical that entities or their various personalities visit one plane before another. This does not mean that one plane must necessarily be visited before another. You could say also that an entity visits all planes simultaneously as it is possible for us to visit one particular state, country and city at one time. Also, we might visit the state of sorrow and joy almost simultaneously and experience both emotions in heightened form because of the almost immediate contrast. In fact, the analogy of a plane with an emotional state is much more valid than the analogy between a plane and a geographical state, particularly since emotional states take up no room or space.

LIGHT INTO SOUND and LIGHT INTO SOUND

The cat focuses upon one thing at a time even though it has no strong ego. It is not the ego which is concentrating. You get a subconscious focus different in many ways from conscious concentration. In this state the attention is focused inward rather than outward, and it is the inner rather than the outer senses that are being exercised. The cat is doing the same thing, in his/her way. Its inner senses were focused in one direction.

As far as light being a mental enzyme, this is true. Mental enzymes create senses on the physical plane in order that they may be recognized and appreciated by the physical being. The mental enzymes are the same, Basically, throughout the universe, but the properties inherent in the plane itself.

The quality called light on this plane could just as well appear as sound in another; and for that matter, even on this plane, light can be changed into sound, and sound into light. It is always interaction which is important. Even the mental enzymes themselves are interchangeable, as far as the principle behind them is concerned, though for practical purposes they maintain separate and distinct qualities in their materializations in one plane.

That is why it is possible for some human beings to experience sound as color or to see color as sound. Granted, this is not a characteristic experience, but if the mental enzymes were not interchangeable in principle, then the experience would not be possible. Light would never be heard, for example, and sound would never be seen.

In practical terms, these mental enzymes must – and do – give a predictable, more or less dependable, result. The thing to remember, though, is that thus interchangeability can occur, and is, therefore, a property of mental enzymes in general. On our plane, the action of these mental enzymes appear to be more or less inflexible, static, irreversible and permanent. Of course, this is not the case.

Because mental enzymes seem to give the same effects most of the time in our system, our scientists, blithely label these as laws of nature; that is, the apparent laws of cause and effect. If you’ll forgive my pun, because a certain cause will usually give a certain effect in our physical universe, we may be justified in saying that the apparent results are laws that operate within our system. But stay in your own backyard.

What I am trying to say, is that there are apparent rules of cause and effect, but the same causes do not always give the same effect. There is much more i want to say along these lines. Please consider again our wires and mazes. I have said, if you’ll forgive the brief reminder, that these are composed of solidified vitality.

They are the living stuff of the universe, even as they form its. boundaries and seem to divide it into labyrinthian ways, like the iside of a honeycomb. The planes within the tiny wires – that is, the planes formed by the connections and interconnections of our imainary wires – come into the sphere of each different plane and take on the form inherent in the plane itself.

Therefore, these wires, continuing our analogy, will grow thick or thin, or change color completely, like some chameleon-like animal constantly camouflaging its true appearance by taking on the outward manifestations of each neighboring forest territory. Then too, the inhabitants of any particular plane are themselves chameleon-like.

The inhabitants see only the camouflage. They then accept it as a definite rule of nature, never realizing that just beyond their eyesight and just beyond their outer senses, this familiar tamed animal of a law changes appearance completely. So complete, in fact, is this transformation as to be in some cases unrecognizable. However, by seeing beneath the camouflage in any one case, you can see beneath all camouflage.

What these wires are, then, that seem to divide our planes and appear so differently in one plane than they do in another, is solidified vitality, whose camouflaging action is determined by mental enzymes. Now, perhaps, you will understand why I said earlier that sound can be seen and color can be heard. There are many diverse examples along this line.

If you’ll forgive me I would like to repeat: Mental enzymes allow the solidified vitality to change form. Light is a mental enzyme. Needless to say, mental enzymes and solidified vitality are dependent upon eah other in many ways. The enzyme part of our little equation permits vitality to operate successfully under diverse mental and physical situations and forms the basis for each particular system of existence.

The inner senses are actually the channels through which the entire composition of any plane is appreciated and maintained. The mental enzymes act upon the vitality, which is, as I told you, the structure of the universe itself. The inner senses, then, are the means. The mental enzymes are the tools, and the vitality is the actual material that forms the universe as a whole, the apparent divisions within it, the apparent boundaries between the systems and the diverse materials within each division. These diverse materials, again, are only camouflage formed by inner senses upon the ‘material’ itself.

CAMOUFLAGE ART

Our scientists can count their elements, and while they are on the wrong track, they will discover more and more elements until they are ready to go out of their minds. And while they create instruments to deal with smaller and smaller particles, they will see smaller and smaller particles, seemingly without end. As their instruments rach further into the physical universe, they will see further and further into the physical universe, they will automatically and unconsciously transform what they apparently see into the camouflage patterns with which they are familiar. They will be, and are, prisoners of their tools.

More galaxies will seemingly be discovered, more mysterious radio stars perceived, until, the scientists realize that something is wrong. Instruments designed to measure the vibrations with which scientists are familiar will be designed and redesigned. All kinds of seemingly impossible phenomena will be discovered with the instruments.

The trouble is that the instruments will be designed to catch certain camouflages, and they will perform their function. They themselves transform data from terms we cannot understand into terms that we can understand. This involves a watering down of data, a simplification that distorts the original information out of shape. The original is hardly discernible when they are done. We are destroying the meaning in the translation. When we decipher one phenomena in terms of another, we always lose sight of whatever glommer of understanding that may have reached us.

It is not a matter of inventing new instruments any longer, but of using the ‘invisible’ ones we have. These may be known and exmained. This material itself is evidence. It is like the branch that moves, so that we know the wind by its effect; and a windbag like me by the billowing gale of my dialogues.

Scientists realize that the atmosphere of the earth has a distorting effect upon their instruments. What they do not understand is that their instruments themselves are bound to be distortive. Any material instrument will have built-in distortive effects. The one instrument which is more important than any other is the mind (not the brain), the meeting place of the inner and outer senses.

The mind is distributed throughout the entire physical body, and builds up about it the physical camouflage necessary for existence on the physical level. The mind receives data from the inner senses and forms the necessary camouflage.

The brain deals exclusively with camouflage patterns, while the mind deals with basic principles inherent on all planes. The brain is, itself, part of the camouflage pattern and can be interpreted and probed by physical instruments. The mind cannot. The mind is the connective. It is here that the secrets of the universe will be discovered, and the ind itself is the tool of discovery.

We might say that the brain is the mind in camouflage. Imagination belongs to the mind, not the brain. Instruments may be used to force imagination to move along in terms of its owner’s personal memories, but it cannot be forced to move along the lines of conceptual thoughts because the imagination is a connective between the physical individual and the non-physical entity.

MENTAL ENZYMES III

Mental enzymes, by the way, have a chemical effect or reaction on our plane, but the effect itself is, of course, distortion. On the other planes. the distortion effect may not be chemical at all.

Mental enzymes transform vitality into the particular camouflage patterns. A chemical imbalance in a physical body will also show itself as a corresponding distortion of sensual data. That is, when the chemical balance is disturbed, the physical world will appear to have changed. For the individual involved, the camouflage actually has changed.

The subconscious is a property of mind and is, to a large degree, independent of camouflage. While part of the subconscious must deal with camouflage, for example, the deeper portions are in direct contact with the basic vitality of the universe. When we wonder if this material comes from our subconscious, we take it for granted that the subconscious is personal, dealing exclusively with matters of our past. We are sometimes willing to concede that perhaps some element of racial memory might enter in.

The subconscious, however, also contains the undistorted material of the mind, which is uncamouflaged and which operates between planes, knowing no boundaries

THE SENSES

The sense of sight, mostly concentrated in our eyes, remains fixed in a permanent position in our physical body. Without moving away from the body, the eyes see something that may be far in the distance. In the same manner, the ears hear sounds that are distant from the body. In fact, the ears ordinarily hear sounds from outside the body more readily than sounds inside the body itself. Since the ears are connected to the body and part of it, it would be logical for an open-minded observer to suppose that the ears would be well attuned to the inner sounds to a high degree. This, we know, is not the case.

The ears can be trained to some degree into a sound-awareness pertaining to the body itself. And breathing, for example, can be magnified to an almost frightening degree when one concentrates upon listening to his/her own breath. But, as a rule, the ears neither listen to nor hear the inner sounds of the body.

The sense of smell also seems to leap forward. A man/woman can smell quite a stink, even though it is not right under his/her nose. The sense of touch does not seem to leap out in this manner. Unless the hand itself presses upon a surface, then we do not feel that we have touched it. Touch usually involves contact of a direct sort. You can, of course, feel the invisible wind against our cheek, but touch involves an immediacy different from the distant perceptions of sight and smell. I am sure you realize these points yourself.

The outer senses deal mainly with camouflage patterns. The inner senses deal with realities beneath camouflage, and deliver inner information. These inner senses, therefore, are capable of seeing within the body, though the physical eyes cannot. As the senses of sight, sound and smell appear to reach outward, bringing data to the body from an outside observable camouflage pattern, so the inside senses seem to extend far inward, bringing inner reality data to the body. There is also a transforming process involved, much like the moment that we have spoken about in the creation of a painting.

The physical body is a camouflage pattern operating in a larger camouflage pattern. But the body and all camouflage patterns are also transformers of the vital inner stuff of the universe, enabling it to operate under new and various conditions.

The inner senses, then, deliver data from the inner world of reality to the body. The outer senses deliver data from the outside world of camouflage to the body. However, the inner senses are aware of the body’s own physical data at all times while the outer senses are concerned with the body mainly in its relationship to camouflage environment.

The inner senses have an immediate, constant knowledge of the body in a way that the outer senses do not. the material is delivered to the body from the inner world through the inner senses. This inner data is received by the mind. The mind, being uncamouflaged, then, is the receiving station for the data brought to it by the inner senses. What we have here, are inner nervous and communication systems, closely resembling the outer systems with which we are familiar.

I am repeating myself, but I want to be clear. This vital data is sent to the mind by the inner senses. Any information that is important to the body’s contact with outer camouflage is given to the brain.

The so-called subconscious is a connective between mind and brain, between the inner and outer senses. Portions of it deal with camouflage patterns, with the personal past of the present personality, with rcial memory. The greater portions of it are concerned with the inner world, and as data reaches it from the inner world, so can these portions of the subconscious reach far into the inner world itself.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME

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

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

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,

EGO II

The inner senses, are the impetus behind the physical formations. The inner senses themselves, through the use if mental enzymes, imprint the data contained in the mental genes onto the physical camouflage material.

I become impatient, though I shouldn’t, with this continued implied insistence that evolution involves merely human species – or, rather, that all evolution must be considered some gigantic tree with humanity as the supreme blossom.

Humanity’s so-called supreme blossom seems to be the ego, which can be, at times, a poisoning blossom, indeed. There is nothing wrong with the ego. The point remains, however, that man/woman became so fascinated with it that he/she has ignored the parts of himself/herself that make the ego possible, and he/she ignores those portions of himself/herself that give to the ego the very powers of which he/she is so consciously proud.
