TIME AND SPACE

Time and space are both camouflage patterns. The inner senses conquer time and space, but this is hardly surprising because time and space do not exist for them, There is no time and space. Therefore, nothing is conquered. The camouflage simply is not present.

I want to give more detailed information about inner realities themselves. Actually, they do not parallel the outer senses; and this will sound appalling to some, I’m afraid, simply because there is nothing to be seen, heard or touched in the manner in which we are accustomed. I don’t want to give the idea that existence without our camouflage patterns is bland and innocuous because this is not the case. The inner senses have a strong immediacy, a delicious intensity that our outer senses lack. There is no lapse of time in perception, since the is no time.

Camouflage patterns do, or course, also belong to the inner world, since they are formed from the stuff of the universe by mental enzymes, which have a chemical reaction on our plane. The reaction is necessarily a distortion. That is, any camouflage is a distortion in the sense that vitality is forced into a particular form. Mental enzymes are actually the property of the inner world, representing the conversion of vitality into camouflage data which is then interpreted by the physical senses.

Imagine a man/woman looking at a tree in the near distance on an ordinary street, with intervening houses and sidewalks.

Using the inner senses, it would be as if, instead of seeing the various houses, our man/woman felt them. He/she would be sensitive to them, in other words, as we feel heat or cold without necessarily touching ice or fire.

He/she would be using the fist inner sense. It involves immediate perception of a direct nature, whose intensity varies according to what is being sensed. It involves instant cognition through what i can only describe as inner vibrational touch.

This sense would permit our many to feel the basic sensations felt by the tree, so that instead of looking at it, his/her consciousness would expand to contain the experience of what it is to be a tree. According to his/her proficiency, he/she would feel in like manner the experience of being the grass and so forth. He would in no way lose consciousness of who heshe was. and he/she would perceive these experiences again, somewhat in the same manner that we perceive heat and cold.

The inner senses are capable of expansion and of focus in a way unknown to the outer ones, and the inner world, of course, is a part of all realities. It is not so much that it exists simultaneously with the outer world, as that it forms the outer world and exists in it also.

When we receive more information on the inner senses, we will begin using them to a much higher degree than we are now. Of course, the inner senses can be used to explore reality that does not yield to the physical senses.

THE BREATHER AND THE DREAMER

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

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,

SELF CONSCIOUS POINT

Referring to the point at which self-consciousness entered into so-called inert form. We know know, now, that all form has consciousness, and so there was no point at which self-consciousness entered with the sound of trumpets, so to speak. Consciousness was inherent in the first materialization upon our plane.

Self-consciousness entered in very shortly after but not what we are pleased to call human self-consciousness. I do not like to wound your egos in this manner, and I can hear some yell ‘foul,’ but there is no actual differentiation between the various kinds of consciousness.

We are either conscious of self or we are not. A tree is conscious of itself as a tree. It does not consider itself as a rock. A dog knows it is not a cat. What I am trying to point out here is this supreme egotistical presumption that elf-consciousness must of necessity involved humanity per se. It does not.

So-called human consciousness did not suddenly appear. Our porr maligned friend, the ape, did not suddenly beat his/her hairy chest in exultation and cry, ‘I am a man/woman.’ The beginnings of human consciousness, on the other hand, began as soon as multi-cellular groupings began to form in field patterns of a certain complexity.

While there was no specific entry point as far as human consciousness was concerned, there was a point (in our terms) where it did not seem to exist. The consciousness of being human was fully developed in the cave man/woman, of course, but the human conception was alive in the fish.

We have spoken of mental genes. These are more or less psychic blueprints for physical matter, and in these mental genes existed the pattern for our human type of self-consciousness. It did not appear in constructed form for a long period.

Human self-consciousness existed in psychological time, and in inner ‘time’ long before we, as a species, constructed it. Human consciousness was inherent and latent from the beginning of our physical universe.

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.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME III

If you will use psychological time as I have told you, you will get immediate first-hand experience with many facets of reality which take me pages to explain with the use of words. All entities are self-aware portions of the energy of All That Is. They are self-generating, and if you understand this, you will stop thinking in terms of beginnings and endings.

The Inner Senses operate on all planes and under all circumstances. The outer senses vary according to plane and circumstances. The outer senses are dependable only in terms of the definite system of reality for which they were constructed. Their purpose, of course, is to enable the conscious personality to recognize as valid, camouflage patterns that are only valid under certain conditions.

Entities create stages upon which to act out their problems. The point is that once the play begins, the actors/actresses are so completely engrossed in their roles that they forget that they themselves wrote the play, constructed the sets or are even acting.

The reason is rather apparent: If you know that a situation is ‘imaginary,’ you are not going to come to grips with it. This way, you have your actors/actresses taking the situation as it seems to be but looking about in amazement now and then to wonder how they got where they are, who constructed the sets, and so forth. They do not realize that the whole thing is self-created, nor should they in the main, since the urgency to solve problems would dissolve.

I’m not worried that I’m going to disturb the balance. Far from it. The fact is that the realization can, and often does, comes after the play is well under way, and at this point, the camouflage action is so involved that the realization itself appears in the framework of the camouflage and is often indistinguishable from it.

EXAMINE YOUR DREAMS

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

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

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.
