We ARE connected to all of humanity, past, present and future. We ARE composed of holographic material that experiences consciousness everywhere at all times. The collective manifestation of this material is All That Is. This is our working model for the creation of human beings everywhere, at all times, by evolutionary consciousness. Given this, can You-The Blog-Reader sense how it may be possible to assume the perspective of ANY human, living or dead, simply by using your Intent, your Divine Will? Indeed, I must say that this procedure is at the base of all of our explorations in the new Blog material.
The explorer of the personal consciousness Intentionally goes out into the Unknown Reality and allows this Intent to zero-in on the desired Gestalt of Consciousness, Light Body, Dimension, or what have you. So, yes indeed, Dear Blog Reader, you have the potential to embody the perspective of any number of transitional human Souls, famous or otherwise.
Now in these instances of contact with, for example, Egyptian Pharaohs, or famous movie actors from the 30s the reasons are obvious: the explorer knows of the famous person, they have read about the famous person, seen their movies, retained information about the famous person, that then acts spontaneously as the directive influence in the Past Lives experimentation.
The remembered material as the directional coordinates to the traveling Soul Self of the experimenter. When contact is made, there is often a great deal of surprise, excitement, and personal satisfaction experienced. It is good for the Soul to have these nurturing experiences of contact.
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.
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.
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.
Dream locations that represent places familiar to you in your present daily life.
Dream locations that represent places (such as foreign countries) to which you have never really traveled.
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.
Dream locations that represnt places that no longer exist physically.
Strange, completely unfamiliar, dream locations.
Indistinct dream locations.
Strange dream locations to which you keep returning.
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.
Great as these things are, there is a totality of experience and sensation that includes them all, a vortex that contains and transform these infinite parts. I know that of which I speak. Yet, each minute event immeasurably increases not only itself but all other events, bringing into birth by its own actualization an infinitude of novus actions and events, an unfolding or multi-dimensionalizing of itself, an initiation into dimensionalization. For all versions and possibilities of each event must be actualized in the limitless multiplication of creativity.
And warping outward from each act are a million openings, roads traveled and experienced by the soul, naturally and spontaneously following its attributes.
Any one moment in physical time then is a warp, opening into these other dimensions of actuality, and any one moment can be used as a passageway or bridge. The act of crossing will be reflected in a million other worlds, but these reflections will be themselves alive and the act of perceiving itself will create still another vortex of actualization.
Attention can be shifted from any physical moment to any probable moment by a sideways parallel imaginative thrust – a sideling off of…
Each probable event os changed by each other probable event. There is constant simultaneous interaction. These ‘separate’ probable systems do not operate isolated from each other, then, but are intimately connected. All systems are open. The physical moment is transparent, though we give it a time-solidity. We see it as opaque.
Attention can be shifted from any physical moment to any probable moment by a sideways parallel imaginative thrust, a aideling off of focus, if the mind can get over its fear of dying to itself.
In what other worlds, for example, do I sit writing these Blogs?
Slide imaginatively into a world where you do not perform the net small action you will perform in this world. Cough, smile, sneeze – in some other actuality your actions are non-actions and your non-acts are realized.
Greet the now-realization of all of your dreams, for they also participate in the probable system. As your dreams bleed into your normal conscious life, so do they bleed into other probabilities. A dream act is actualized by a waking you, as a waking you is actualized by a dreaming self.
The soul is too great to know itself, yet each individual portion of the soul seeks this knowledge and in the seeking creates new possibilities of development, new dimensions of actuality. The individual self at any given moment can connect with its soul. There is initially a sidereal movement of consciousness, a dropping away sensation.
We attempt to save the shadows of ourselves, and we create light in even the darkest recesses of our own hidden fragments. To the extent and in those terms, we are our own redeemers.
Communications do not just operate in a vertical, ascending or descending fashion, but horizontal, in those terms.
Because we are born physically into our system, we take it for granted without thinking of it that we are born in the same manner into other systems. This may or may not apply, but it is definitely not applicable to the system of probabilities as a whole.
Now, in life of each personality there are, of course, moments of deep crisis and decision, where a personality decides upon one if various possible choices. These moments are not necessarily conscious at all, and the choices are not necessarily conscious, though often they rise to consciousness. But by then, the inner work and decision has been done.
The next line of our development, however,. We clear away debris. We give ourselves psychic breathing space so that our creative abilities can rise.
It’s one thing to accept the idea of probable systems and probable selves as an exciting intellectual concept, and quite another to accept the practical considerations involved if you think of probabilities as plain facts of existence.
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.
We agree to accept certain data in the physical universe. We agree to form this into certain patterns, and we agree to ignore other data completely. These now, called root assumptions, form the main basis for the apparent permanence and coherence of our physical system.
In your journeys into inner reality, you cannot proceed with these same root assumptions. Reality, per se, changes completely according to the basic root agreements that you accept. One of the root agreements upon which physical reality is based is the assumption that objects have a reality independent of any subjective cause and that these objects, within definite specific limitations, are permanent.
Objects may appear and disappear in these other systems. Using the root assumptions just mentioned as a basis for judging reality, an observer would insist that the objects were not real, for they do not behave as he/she believes objects must. Because dream images may appear and disappear, then, do not take it for granted that they do not really exist.
There is a cohesiveness to the inner universe and to the systems that are not basically physical. But this is based upon an entirely different set of root assumptions and these are the keys that alone will let you manipulate within other systems or understand them. There are several major root assumptions connected here and many minor ones:
Energy and action are basically the same, although neither must necessarily apply to physical action.
All objects have their origin basically in mental action. Mental action is directed psychic energy.
Permanence is not a matter of time. Existence have value in terms of intensities.
Objects are blocks of energy perceived in a highly specialized manner.
Stability in time sequence is not a prerequisite requirement for an object, except as a root assumption in the physical universe.
Space as a barrier does not exist.
The spacious present is here more available to the senses.
The only barriers are mental or psychic ones.
Only if these basic root assumptions are taken for granted will your projection experiences make sense to you. Different rules simply apply. Your subjective experience is extremely important here; that is, the vividness of any given experience in terms of intensity will be far more important than anything else.
Elements from past, present and future may be indiscriminately available to you. You may be convinced that a given episode is the result of subconscious fabrication, simply because the time sequence is not maintained, and this could be a fine error. In a given dream projection, for example, you may experience an event that is obviously from the physical past, yet within it there may be elements that do not fit. In an old-fashioned room of the 1700’s you may look out and see an automobile pass by. Obviously, you think: distortion. Yet you may be straddling time in such an instance, perceiving, say, the room as it was in the 1700’s and the street as it appears in your present. These elements may appear side by side. The car may suddenly disappear before your eyes, to be replaced by an animal or the whole street may turn into a field.
“This is how dreams work,” you may think. ‘This cannot be a legitimate projection. ‘Yet you may be perceiving the street and the field that existed ‘before’ it, and the image may be transposed one upon the other. If you try to judge such an experience with physical root assumptions, it will be meaningless. As mentioned earlier, you may also perceive a building that will never exist in physical reality. This does not mean that the form is illusion. You are simply in a position where you can pick up and translate the energy pattern before you.
If another individual under the same circumstances comes across the same ‘potential’ object, he/she can also perceive it as you did. He/she may, however, because of his/her own make-up, perceive and translate another portion of allied pattern. He/she may see the form of the man/woman who originated the thought of the building.
To a large extent in the physical system, your habit of perceiving time as a sequence forms the type of experience and also limits it. This habit also unites the experiences, however. The unifying and limiting aspects of consecutive moments are absent in inner reality. Time, in other words, cannot be counted upon to unify action. The unifying elements will be those of your own understanding and abilities. You are not forced to perceive action as a series of moments within inner really, therefore.
Episodes will be related to each other by different methods that will be intuitional, highly selective and psychological. You will find your way through complicated mazes of reality according to your own intuitional nature. You will find what you expect to find. You will seek out what you want from the available data.
In physical experience, you are dealing with an environment with which you are familiar. You have completely forgotten the chaos and unpredictable nature it presented before learning processes were channeled into its specific directions. You learned to perceive reality in a highly specified fashion. When you are dealing with inner, or basically non-physical realities, you must learn to become unspecialized and then learn a new set of principles. You will soon learn to trust your perceptions, whether or not the experiences seem to make logical sense.
In a projection, the problems will be of a different sort. The form of a man/woman, for example, may be a thought-form, or a fragment sent quite unconsciously by another individual whom it resembles. It may be another projectionist, like yourself. It may be a potential form like any potential object, a record of a form played over and over again.
It may be another version of yourself. We will discuss ways of distinguishing between these. A man/woman may suddenly appear, and be then replaced by a small girl/boy. This would be a nonsensical development to the logical mind; yet, the girl/boy might be the form of the man’s/woman’s previous or future reincarnated self.
The unity, you see, is different. Basically, perception of the spacious present is naturally available. It is your nervous physical mechanism which acts as a limiting device. By acting in this manner it forces you to focus upon what you can perceive with greater intensity.
Our mental processes are formed and developed as a result of this conditioning. The intuitive portions of the personality are not so formed, and these operate to advantage in any inner exploration.
We are basically capable of seeing any particular location as it existed a thousand years in your past or as it will exist a thousand years in your future. The physical senses serve to blot out more aspects of reality than they allow you to perceive, yet, in many inner explorations you will automatically translate experience into terms that the senses can use. Any such translation is, nevertheless, a second-hand version of the original – an important point to remember.
Now, there are ‘objective’ realities that exist within the astral system. There are more than your own thought forms, in other words. Your own thought-forms can be definite aids when you are in the proper mental condition, and they can impede your progress if you are not. For example, a man in a desperate frame of mind is more apt to emphasize the unpleasant aspects of the news and to see bitterness rather than joy in the faces of those he/she meets. He/she will ignore a contented child playing on one side of the street and notice, instead, a dirty ragged child, even though he be further away. So your frame of mind when projecting will largely determine that kind of experiences you have.
The original intensity behind the construction determines its duration. Left alone, any such construction will eventually vanish. It will leave a trace, however, in electromagnetic reality where it can then be activated by anyone when certain conditions are met or are favorable.
Denying energy to such a construction can be like pricking a balloon. Then all attention must be taken from it, for it thrives on attention.
Projections actually involve a change of atomic structure. Consciousness simply changes its form. When projection is first accomplished, there is a strong charge of adrenaline in the body and high activity of the thyroid gland. There is a charge of sexual hormones which are also utilized in projection.
After projection is accomplished, however, there is a marked decline in chemical activity and hormone action, a drop in body temperature and a drop in blood pressure. The rapid eye movements noted by dream investigators cease entirely. The eye muscles are not used. The normal muscular activity that usually occurs in sleep vanishes. The physical body is in a deep trance state. The trance may also be masked by sleep, if the projection happens from a dream threshold.
According to the intensity of the projection and to the systems visited, the body may become more or less rigid when consciousness returns to it. This is a subtle difference in the way sugar molecules are utilized. Momentarily, the body uses less sugar. However, the sugar is important in fueling the consciousness on its journey. It also aids in connecting the consciousness to the body.
In other words, there is indeed a connection that is and must be partially physical, between the body and the traveling consciousness, and it is based upon a certain sugar molecule in a form not normally seen. Before conscious projections I would therefore recommend that you take a small amount of starchy or sugar food. A small snack before bed is a good idea from this viewpoint. Alcohol is of some benefit, though not to any great degree. Excellent results can be achieved in a dream-based projection during the day, in a nap.
