I told you to take a moment while
you were within a particular dream, and to use it to try to discover what had
been happening within the dream before you experienced it.
It is true that you create your
own dreams, but it is also true that you only focus upon certain portions of
your dream creations. Even in the dream
state, any present expands into its own version of past and future; so in those
terms the dream possess its own background, its own kind of historic
past, the moment you construct it.
You need not experience those
past dream events, although if you just turn your attention in that direction
then the dream’s past will become apparent.
Mental impressions of any kind therefore are not simply imprinted, or
written, as it were, in a medium of space and time. They have greater dimensionality. The past and future ripple outward from any
event, making it “thicker” than it appears to be.
In greater terms, the past is
definitely created from the present. In
your system of reality this does not seem to be the case at all, since your
senses project a forward kind of motion outward upon events. “Subatomic particles”, however, appear in
your present, rippling into your system’s dimensions, creating their own
“tracks”, which scientists then try to observe.
In some cases, unknowingly, your scientists are close to observing the
birth of time effects within your system.
Since your brains are composed of cells with their atoms and molecules,
and since these are themselves made of certain invisible particles, then your memories
are already structured by the biological mechanisms that make them possible in
your terms. (After death, for example, you still possess a memory, though it
does not operate through the physical organism as you understand it.)
Psychologically, then, while you
are living your memories follow a pattern of past into present. It seems, therefore, quite inconceivable that
in certain terms any present event can bring about a memory of a similar event
that occurred before, while instead each actually occurs at once.
In the dream state, the freedom
of events from time as you understand it can be more apparent. If you are alert and curious while dreaming
(and you can learn to be), then you can catch yourself in the act of creating a
dream’s past and future at once.
Physicists know that waves can
appear as particles upon certain conditions, and that particles can behave like
waves. So moments as you understand them
are like waves experienced as “particles” – as small bubbles, for example, each
one breaking and another forming.
Subatomic particles also behave like waves sometimes; in fact, it is
usually only when they act like particles that they are perceived at
all.
Physicists think of atoms as
particles. Their wavelet characteristics
are not observed. At other levels of
reality, atoms behave in a wavelike manner.
Subjectively, you will think of your own thoughts as waves rather than
as particles. Yet in the dream level of
reality those waves “break” into particles, so to speak. They form pseudo-objects from your
viewpoint. While dreaming you accept
that reality is real. Only upon awakening
do the dream objects seem not-real, or imaginary. The nervous system itself is biologically
equipped to perceive various gradations of physical matter, and there
are “in-between” impulse passageways that are utilized while dreaming. From your point of view these are alternate
passageways, but in the dream state they allow you to perceive as physical
matter objects that in the waking state would not be observable.
Again, from the waking standpoint
these other neurological recognitions could be thought of as ghost or trace
methods of perception. Waking, you do
not usually use them. They are utilized
to some extent in daydreaming, however, and in certain alterations of
consciousness while you perceive as real, or nearly real, events that are not
immediately happening within your space-time structure.
The dream world is as organized
as your own, but from the waking state you do not focus upon that inner
organization. Your dream images exist. They are quite as real as a table or a
chair. They are built up from particles,
invisible only from the waking situation.
Physicists are beginning to study
the characteristics of “invisible” particles.
They seem to defy space and time principles. This is precisely why they form the basis for
dream reality; why objects in a dream can appear and disappear.
In your physical universe such
particles are invisible components, deduced but never directly
encountered. To a certain extent they
are latent. In some other
realities, however, their characteristics rule rather than the
attributes of the visible particles that you see. Dream images, therefore, exist at a different
range of matter.
Many of these invisible particles
(CU’s) can be in more than one place at a time – a fact that quite confounds
the physically tuned brain perceiving a world in which objects stay where they
are supposed to be.
Basically, however, each “appearance”
of such a particle is a self-version, for it is altered to some extent by its “location”. So can the human self appear in several
places at once, each such appearance subtly altering the “human” particle, so
that each appearance is a version of an “original” self that as itself
never appears in those terms. When you
look at an electron – figuratively speaking – you are observing a trace or a
track of something else entirely, and that appearance is termed an
electron. So the self that you know is a
physical trace or intrusion into space and time of an “original” self that
never appears. In a way, then, you are
as ghostly as an electron.
The unknown self, the “original
self”, straddles realities, dipping in and out of them in creative versions
of itself, taking on the properties of the system in which it appears, and the
characteristics native to that environment.
Waves and particles are versions of other kinds of behavior taken by
energy. Using that analogy, you flow in
wavelike fashion into the physical particleized versions that you call corporal
existences.
I am putting this as simply as
possible; but when your “original self” enters [part of] itself into
three-dimensional life from an inner reality, the energy waves carrying it
break – not simply into one particle, following our analogy, but into a number
of conscious particles. In certain terms
these are built up using the medium at hand – the biological properties of the
earth. They spread out from the “point of
contact”, forming individual lives. In
your conception of the centuries, then, there are other counterparts of
yourself living at the same time and in different places – all creative
versions of the “original self”. There
is a great intimate cooperation that exists biologically and spiritually
between all of the beings on your planed “at any given time”. You are all connected psychically in terms of
inner and outer structures. A certain
identity and cohesiveness is also maintained because of these inner
connections.
Your dream adventures, however
exciting, remain “invisible” from your waking standpoint. Within dreams space and time expand, again,
as I have mentioned, but in a way that you cannot physically pinpoint. Your own exterior space exists in precisely
the same manner from the standpoint of any other reality. For that matter, you yourself are so richly
creative that your own thoughts give birth to other quite legitimate systems of
which you have no knowledge.
You are each members of a
particular race, and you do not feel any the less individualistic because of
that affiliation.
You consider yourselves, further,
members of a species. The races are
alive together at any given time on your earth in varying proportions, so there
are physical organizations, biologically speaking, that you recognize. You do not feel threatened because you do not
have your particular race to yourself.
So there are inner psychic “races” to which you belong, or psychic stocks,
so to speak, each providing physical variations.
In those terms each living person
has other counterparts of himself or herself alive, generally speaking, at the
same time, sharing the physical face of the earth. There are psychic pools of identity,
therefore; and generally speaking those alive in any given century are as much
a part of that inner pool as they are a part of the particular race to which
they may belong. Each member of the
species is an individual, and each member of a psychic pool of identity is an
individual.
Again, your idea of personhood limits
you when you think of concepts. You
imagine personhood to be a kind of mental particle that must have definite
boundaries, or it will lose its identity.
The identity of even the smallest consciousness is always maintained –
but not limited. If you can think of
your present idea of identity as if it were but one shape or one motion of a
moving particle, a shape or a motion that never loses its imprint or
meaning, then you could also see how you could follow it forward or backward to
the shape or motion taken “before or afterward”.
You could retain the identity of
yourself as you know yourself, and yet flow into a greater field or wave of reality
that allowed you to perceive your own other motions or shapes or versions. You could become aware of a larger structure
in which you also have your own validity, and therefore add to your own
knowledge and to the dimensions of your experience.
You can do this the easiest way,
perhaps, by observing yourself in the dream state, for there you create
versions of yourself constantly. In the
morning you are enriched, not diminished.
You are the living version of
yourself in space and time, around which your world revolves. The great potentiality that exists in the
unknown self, however, also actualized other such focuses, and in the same
space-time framework. They are not you,
any more than you are the black man, or the white woman, or the Indian woman,
or the Chinese man.
As certain races possess their
own characteristics and shared biological background, and come from the same
biological pool, however, so these counterparts come from the same psychic
pool, and physically seed the members of the races at any given “time”. In such a way mental abilities and
propensities are given a greater range, and distributed about the earth.
