ENERGY-BEING: The question regarding reality is a most important question to deal with, even though it might seem trivial in the mind of this channel. We are dealing with this question and have asked her to bring it through so that she may understand more fully the purpose for which he exists. Reality, first we shall say, is a word which is created in the mind of Man. Because it is a word —that is created— the word itself is one step out of its own aspect, which means that that which is not of the original is not what is con- sidered reality. That which the eye can see is not reality, because it is one step beyond the created. Reality is that which is conceived in a pure state of con- sciousness, and it is not that which is perceived by the eyes and senses of Man. Therefore, upon the Earth level, there are millions of realities that exist, because Man cre- ates what he considers reality. But it is only an image of that which is conceived in the original state. This is why there is much confusion on the Earth level. And because there is confusion as to the true nature of reality, there is confusion as to existence, and as to words which you consider important. There is confusion as to what is thuth. I point this out because when Man thinks he is dealing with reality he is

Most levels of human existence are on the operation level of the senses, that is, what is conceived through sight and sound, and what is experienced in the outer level. Therefore, this means that most humans are one step beyond reality. And this is why there are many who have drawn themselves a closed-in area where reality is quite narrow. This is why there is a retardation in most of the souls of the Earth level, those who are out of touch with true reality. When a soul gets in touch with its true levels of conscious- ness, there are no boundaries. And the boundaries that Man has created have become his own prison and have kept him from truly experiencing the nature of the true consciousness. And it is only by going deep within the levels of his true nature that Man will get into attunement with true reality. The experiences which this soul (ROMC) has had in going into various levels of consciousness are levels of reality, and they are unusual to this soul, and therefore often seem «unreal». Once the soul begins to get in contact with the other levels of the nature of reality in its pure state, it seems that things are «unreal». And we have brought this
