"(Humorously)Christ could just as well have disappeared sideways."
[This is referring to the Christian dogma of Christ's ascension and its effects on the idea of evolution being along a one-line direction only.]

"As long as you believe in a devil, you will create one that is real enough for you, and for the others who continue to create him."

"Such a mock devil has no power or reality to those who do not believe in his existence, and who do not give him energy through their belief. His is, in other words, a superlative hallucincation."

"No soul is forever ignorant."

"Now those who have such beliefs actually lack a necessary deep trust in the nature of consciousness, of the soul, and of All That Is. They concentrate upon not what they think of as the power of good, but fearfully upon what they think of as the power of evil."

"The power resides in you and not in the mock devils."

"A Christ who was not aware of this would not appear in such a system."

"The Buddhists come closer, generally speaking, to a description of the nature of reality."

"The secret methods behind all of the religions were meant to lead man into a realm of understanding that existed apart from the symbols and the stories, into inner realizations that would take him both within and without the physical world that he knew."

"There are many manuscripts still not discovered, from old monasteries particularly in SPain, that tell of underground groups within religious orders who kept these secrets alive when other monks were copying old Latin manuscripts."

"The Speakers possess an extraordinary vividness of feeling and thought projection. They can impress others with greater import through their communications. They can move from inner to outer reality with easy ability. They know instinctively how to use symbolism. they are highly creative on an unconscious level, constantly forming psychic frameworks beneath normal consciousness that can be used both by themselves and others in dream and trance states. They often appear to others in the dream condition, and they help dreamers in the manipulation of inner reality. They form images with which the dreamers can relate, images that can be used as bridges as then as gateways into kinds of consciousness more separated from your own."

"Some Speakers confine their abilities to the dream state; and, waking, are largely unconscious of their own abilities or experience."

"Efforts were being made then to map inner reality in ways that have not been attempted since."

"The rules within physical reality say that objects appear to be stationary and permanent... The nature of mental activities will follow different lines, and 'continuity' in terms of time will not exist."

"The Speakers are familiar with the rules within many systems."

"There are an infinite number of universes. Only the very highest, most developed gestalt consciousness can be aware of anything like their totality. In this larger context, then, the Speakers must be called local. There is something like a chart mapping many of the nearby systems of reality, and I hope some day in your terms to make this available..."

"There are points of coincidence where under certain conditions entry may be made from one of these systems to the other. They need not exist separately in space as you know if, of course. These are called coordination points, where one camouflage merges into the other."
[see page on 'coordination points']

"There are adjacent states of consciousness that occur within the sleep pattern, that cannot be picked up by your EEG's--adjacent 'corridors' through which your consciousness travels."
[EEG = Electroencephalograph Machine (traces brain wave patterns on graph paper)]

"Consciousness leaves through a very predictable route to its many destinations."

"Many artists, poets, and musicians are Speakers, translating one world in terms of another, forming psychic structures that exist in both with great vitality--structures that may be perceived from more than one reality at once."

"These other stages of consciousness create their own realities as you create your own."

"The images within the dream are also highly coded, and are signals for underlying events that are basically not decipherable."

"The Speakers help you in the formation of dreams which are indeed multidimensional artistic productions of a kind--dreams existing in more than one reality, with effects that dissect various stages of consciousness that are real, in your terms, to both the living and the dead and in which both the living and the dead may participate. It is for this reason that inspirations and revelations are so often a part of the dream condition."

"In the most protected areas of sleep, the apparent barriers between many layers of reality vanish."

"Consciousness at different levels or stages perceives different kinds of events. In order to perceive some of these you have only to learn to change the focus of your attention from one level to another."

"There are minute chemical and electromagnetic alterations that accompany these stages of consciousness, and certain physical changes within the body itself in hormone production and pineal activity."

"You usually glide from wakefulness through to sleep without ever noticing the various conditions of consciousness through which you pass, yet there are several. First, of course, with various degrees of spontaneity, there is the inward turn of consciousness away from physical data, from worries and concerns of the day. Then there is an undifferentiated level between wakefulness and sleep where you act as a receiver--passive but open, in which telepathic and clairvoyant messages come to you quite easily."

"The sensation of largeness...is a physical interpretation of the psychic expansion. The feeling of falling is an interpretation of a sudden return of consciousness to the body."

"Somewhere during this time he [the person] will go into a deeply protected area of sleep, where he is at the threshold to other layers of reality and probabilities. At this point his experiences will be out of all context to time as you know it. He may experience years though only minutes have passed."

"Almost the same kinds of fluctuations and stages occur even when you are waking."

"The dimensions of it can only be sensed by those determined enough to take the time and effort required to journey through their own subjective realities."

"The purpose of the Speakers is to help you correlate and understand this multidimensional existence, and to bring as much as possible of it to your conscious attention.

"Only by learning to feel, or sense, or intuitively perceive the depths of your own experience can you glimpse the nature of All That Is. By becoming more aware of your consciousness as it operates in physical life, you can learn to watch it as it manipulates through these other less familiar areas."

"These stages of consciousness are all a part of your own reality. A knowledge of them can be most useful. You can learn to 'shift gears,' stand aside from your own experience, and examine it with much better perspective. You can prepare questions or problems, suggesting that they be solved for you in the sleep state. You can suggest that you will speak with distant friends, or convey important messages that you cannot convey verbally, perhaps. You can bring about reconciliations, for example, at another layer of reality though you cannot do so in this one."

"You can direct the healing of your body, telling yourself that this will be accomplished by you at one of the other levels of sleep consciousness, and you may ask for the aid of a Speaker to give you any necessary psychological guidance that is needed to maintain health. If youhave particular conscious goals and if you are reasonably certain that they are beneficial ones, then you can suggest dreams in which they occur, for the dreams themselves will hasten their physical reality."

"A knowledge of one state of consciousness can help you in other states."

"In a light trance the meaning of dream symbols will be given if you ask for them."

"Here a great creative synthesis and a great creative diversification takes place, in which any given dream image has meaning to various layers of the self--on one level representing a truth you have lived and on other levels representing this truth as it is more specifically applied to various areas of experience or problems."

"The unconscious and subconscious areas...are aware of much more of this information than the ego, for it receives only the minute residue of dream material as a rule."

"The Speakers therefore may appear within dreams as historical characters, as prophets, as trusted old friends, or in whatever guise will impress the particular personality."
