[1743.5-1751.1] each one looking at a gauge or something. They say, who's behind me? You awake? [1751.1-1763.4] Incidentally, one of the patterns, for example, on a team of explorers was very... We, of course, [1763.4-1771.3] made... And I was reminded of this in Dr. Heineck's picture. And I can go take his a little bit step [1771.3-1780.4] before that was itching to say, hey, you know, so... Anyway, he had this picture of a close-up of a [1780.4-1786.5] galaxy, and here's these endless amount of stars. You know, it just looked like a bunch of pebbles. [1786.5-1793.4] I'll give you an illustration of the difficulty in working in physical matter reality and such [1793.4-1799.8] exploration. We went out and we would vector one person after another. [1800.3-1811.7] and sort of a follow-the-leader effect, trying to find actual physical intelligence and physical [1811.7-1820.7] artifacts on some other planet somewhere. And after long, long searching, we found one. And [1820.7-1828.0] the great glee that took place reported back and so immediately vectored to others to where [1828.0-1835.5] this one explorer had found this particular artifact. It was a building of a source. And [1835.5-1840.4] so we carefully sent one around one side of the building and another around the other, [1841.0-1846.0] and we were looking for and they meet around the other and says, Hey, here's Jane back here. [1846.0-1863.3] In other words, he didn't know that Jane had gone around the other side. We found an entrance to [1863.3-1870.5] this building and we went in and this, as I say, we had found other remnants but nothing like this. [1870.5-1879.8] And inside was a being preoccupied doing something. And so just to give the others courage, [1879.8-1886.2] they all three went in together and it was into a sort of a slot and they had to change their [1886.2-1890.8] perspectives of themselves so that they could slide through this slot. In other words, they [1890.8-1899.3] had to flatten. Boom. And inside here was this being and they couldn't identify whether [1899.3-1907.9] he was humanoid or he or she or what. And after much difficulty, they were able to attract [1909.3-1915.2] her attention. And it was just one of these things where, and here I'm back here [1917.2-1926.3] with bated breath to see what's going to take place. And finally, and I'm using words when [1926.7-1934.8] I spoke, he says, Oh yes, what can I do for you? And they say, well, and they're repeating this [1934.8-1944.0] back to me. And as they will ask him where you are. And so Tom says, said to the center, [1944.0-1948.5] all it's all a mental thing. He says, where are we? And he looks down and says, well, don't you know? [1948.5-1956.7] She said, no. And then there was a very unintelligible type of description as to where [1956.7-1963.7] we are. And that is being trying to communicate this and it didn't work. So he implanted a [1965.5-1973.2] system, a constellation as it were, of stars to describe where they were. And that didn't work. [1974.3-1981.8] And so after giving up, as it were, this being very politely said, well, where are you from? [1983.0-1990.7] And Tom, who is a physicist and an astronomer, looked and felt and all he could say is back that [1990.7-2007.5] way. Inadequate is to say the least. Anyway, how am I doing? Oh, thank you. Thank you. Oh, boy. [2007.6-2013.3] Where did we go? Anyway, I've gotten way off the track. My main point was to tell you [2014.5-2020.0] about this business of new consciousness. And that's what the gist of this [2021.7-2026.8] hemispheric synchronization effect does. It creates the beginnings of a new consciousness. [2027.8-2032.7] And this is the prime, prime purpose, the great discovery. [2033.2-2044.9] That's on the next page. What's the meaning of this new consciousness? This truly, [2046.3-2050.3] we've gotten some handles on it and that's what I need to pass along when I got a couple minutes [2050.3-2057.7] more. A couple minutes? This new consciousness, our old consciousness, has a great deal of [2057.7-2061.9] trouble with. And that's not a good way to say it, but that's what's the truth. It's very, [2061.9-2066.7] very difficult for the consciousness we are using now to understand this. And this is where [2066.8-2074.4] our problem is, is that the beginnings of it, and slowly and painfully, we begin to understand [2074.4-2082.9] what this new consciousness is. And it is an ideal that we, we sitting here, I don't think [2082.9-2089.3] we'll ever reach, but we can begin and our children will pick it up from us. And our children's [2089.3-2097.2] children will in turn also begin this conversion process to this new consciousness. What is it? [2097.2-2102.4] What is it? What, what, what, what is all about? Well, there are certain aspects of it that we are [2102.4-2110.3] beginning to discover. One of them, this new consciousness needs no ego gratification. [2110.3-2116.5] Now think of these carefully, needs no ego gratification. This new consciousness [2117.4-2131.8] has no sense of greed. This new consciousness has no sense of possession. These are the [2131.8-2141.5] where we get taught. This new consciousness operates totally free from any of our known [2141.5-2148.7] laws of physics. And there's Harold's picture of what you want. It operates free of these. This [2148.7-2157.0] means that it can, this new consciousness can manipulate these laws of physics, if you want to [2157.0-2166.9] say it that way, because it is beyond those laws of physics. Now, one of the keys of heart stones, [2167.6-2176.3] the heart energy of this new consciousness is what we call love, but not the way we use the word [2176.3-2185.6] love. It is love free from the law of cause and effect. And think that one over a little bit, [2185.6-2197.2] free from the law of cause and effect. The other part is that it looks upon human physical life [2198.4-2207.6] as a local custom. It looks upon human physical life as a local custom further. It looks upon [2208.1-2217.4] human life as a, and the patterns thereof as sort of local traffic, because this new consciousness [2219.1-2227.3] is, goes interstate as it were. It has the ability growing more and more to communicate [2227.3-2234.9] with these other realities, because they're a natural part of this new consciousness. And [2234.9-2240.9] what we have, there are so many applications of it. We have found, for example, that, [2241.0-2249.3] hmm, I got a monitor over there. It can temporarily alleviate schizophrenia. [2251.4-2260.4] It speeds up the educational process. It has applications in orthodox churches as a means of [2261.2-2268.9] bringing the experience, the subjective experience of religion back into the church, [2269.7-2277.8] revelation, great insights back into the church itself. It has a great ability to cope with [2279.0-2284.1] stress and tension and the reduction thereof in the individual. These are all things we've [2284.1-2290.1] already gone through. It can help control pain. Are you listening, Larry? Norm? [2294.1-2299.2] It helps you most of all when you begin to get into this new consciousness to understand [2300.1-2308.7] who you are, where you are, and why you are. And that's the whole point of it. That's what this [2308.7-2314.9] new consciousness does, and then the application thereof. And my role in the whole thing is [2314.9-2320.2] something I've discovered by determining a little bit who I am, where I am, and why I am. [2321.6-2330.8] My role? I'm the gatekeeper. I, and I don't pass judgment on people. I simply open the door, [2331.8-2340.4] and my reward for being the gatekeeper, and remember that the problem with being the gatekeeper is [2340.4-2345.6] that he doesn't get a chance to go through the gate. He has to stay there and open the door [2345.6-2352.9] for his tour of duty until he's replaced by his replacement. All his reward is is looks on [2352.9-2358.9] people's faces when they go through the gate. In the meantime, he just has nothing more to do [2358.9-2364.3] than just feel homesick occasionally. Thank you very much.
