THE SECOND SENSE...

You have trouble now with your inner visions because you are trying to transpose them according to physical camoflage time, and this is going about it in the wrong way to begin with.

This is closely related to one of the inner senses, the second inner sense and it is upon psychological time that you must try to impose your inner visions.

When I tell you that the second sense is like your sense of time, while this does give you a certain understanding or feeling of what this second sense is like, nevertheless it is also confusing, I know because you are apt to compare the two too closely.

Perhaps I can clarify this slightly by saying that your experience of the second inner sense will feel somewhat like your apprecation of psychological time.

Any such communications coming through the inner senses will exist in your psychological time.

I have said that this psychological time operates during sleep and during quiet times of consciousness.

Now, in dreams and in the dream framework you have the feeling of experiencing many hours, or even days. These days or hours that you seem to experience in dreams are not recorded by the physical body, and are outside of your physical time camoflage.

If in a dream for example, you experience within the framework two days, physicaly you do not age for these two days. I am sure you see the many places that this can lead us.

For one thing, phychological time is so much a part of inner reality that even though your inner self is still connected to the physical body, you are in the dream framework free of some very important physical effects.

Now, as your dreams seem to involve you in duration that is independent of your clock time, so can you achieve the actual experience of duration as far as your inner visions are concerned.

But the minute, the physical minute, that you try to transpose these visions upon the physical minute, then you lose them. Many times I am sure, in so-called daydreaming, you have lost track of physical time, and before you know it the experience of inner duration has entered in.

Physical time socalled, that is clock time, is one of the latest and most artificial of your camouflages.

It had nothing to do with your particular plane. It is a human invention of which your animals are blissfully unaware.

Psychological time fits into physical time with little trouble. Originally this enabled man in many ways to live in the inner and outer world with relative ease.

Psychological time can be transposed onto physical time, but psychologial time cannot flow unhampered or with freedom through days chopped up into so many clock divisions. The clock time idea was invented by the conscious ego of man for many reasons, with fear in the foreground.

Physical time or that is, clock time, was invented by man's ego to protect the ego itself, because of the mistaken conception of dual existence--that is, because man felt that a predictable conscious self did the thinking and the moving, and an unpredictable almost automatic self did the breathing and the dreaming.

He set up boundaries to protect the predictable self from what he considered the unpredictable self, and ended up cutting the whole self in half.

Games to play Alter your time orientation in games that you can play. this will allow you to break away from too narrow focus.It will to some extant break apart the rigid interlocking of your perception into reality as you have learned to perceive.

1. Put another time on. Just before you go to sleep, see yourself as you are, but living in a past or future century-- or simply pretend that you wre born 10 or 20 years earlier or later. Do this playfully, such exercises will allow you a good subjective feel for your own inner existence as it is apart from the time context.

To encourage creativity, exert your imagination through breaking up your usual space-time focus.

As you fall to sleep, imagine that you are in the same place, exactly in the same spot, but at some point in the distant past or future.

What do you see, or hear?

What is there?

Exercise 2 Imagine that you are in another part of the world entirely, but in present time, and ask yourself the same questions.

For variety, in your min's eye follow your own activities of the previous day.

Place yourself a week ahead in time. Conduct your own variations of these exercises.

What they will teach you cannot be explained, for they will provide a dimension of experience, a feeling about yourself that make sense only to you.

They will teach you to find your own sensations of yourself, as divorced from the official context of reality, in which you usually perceive your being.

Additionally, you will be better able to deal with current events, for your exercised imagination will bring information to you that will be increasingly valuable.

Exercise3 Before Sleep, then, imagine your consciousness traveling down a road, or across the world--whatever you want. Forget your body.

Do not try to leave it for this exercise. Tell yourself that you are imaginatively traveling. If you have chosen a familiar destination, then imagine the houses you might pass.

It is sometimes easier to choose an unfamiliar location, however, for then you are not tempted to test yourelf as you go along by wondering whether or not the imagined scenes comform to your memory.

To one extant or another your consciousness will indeed be traveling.

Again, a playful attitude is best
