At other levels, while each individuality is maintained, it rides the wavelike formations of consciousness. It is everywhere at once, and the units of consciousness that make up your cells know the positions of all other such units, both in time and in space. In the beginning, then, these units operated both as identities or particles, and as waves. The main concentration was not yet physical in your terms. What you now think of as the dream state was the waking one, for it was still the recognized form of purposeful activity, creativity, and power. The dream state continues to be a connective between the two realities, and as a species you literally learned to walk by first being sleepwalkers. You walked in your sleep. You dreamed your languages. You spoke in your dreams and later wrote down the alphabets — and your knowledge and your intellect have always been fired, sharpened, propelled by the great inner reality from which your minds emerged.

Before the mind can approach higher levels of truth it has to free itself habits of thought which are efficacious for action and survival but fatal to meditation.

The better hope lies along a less negative path. Englightened minds are beginning to feel convinced of this, An acceptance of individual personality drives adjusted to essential principles of social harmony seems on the way. This envisages not a suppression or perversion of innate drives, but an acceptance of them under the condition that they be tempered within the requirements of social mutuality of interests. This necessitates a constant reappraisal of principles of social harmony, so that human behavior be no longer subjected to repressions dictated by the obsessive prejudices and standards of outworn eras. Much of the distortion and neurosis in contemporary personalities is directly attributable to the pressures of social standards unsuited to contemporary needs. Much legitimate, creative energy is driven underground by atmospheres of shame and guilt that invade the healthiest consciences because the vapors of ignorance and stale values are foisted upon them.
