说法者为你而来——说法者（三）

摘自《灵魂永生》第十七章  
可能性，善恶的本质，以及宗教象征

在醒时生活里也有各种不同的意识状态，你们没有将焦点对准它们，也就常常对它们毫无觉察。每种意识状态都了解其自身的境况，而且熟悉一种不同的实相世界。

“你”目前的意识是一次只能有一个中心的，因为“你”把其他那些意识状态关在经验之外，而你本体的其他部分深深涉入了那些状态。那些意识状态创造了自己的实相世界，一如你创造了你自己的实相。因此，各种实相世界只是意识的副产品而已。如果你能觉知那些世界，它们对你来说可能像是人间的其它地方，而不是另类活动发生的领域或场所。如果你深入探究这些领域，你会被迫以自己系统的基本假设来感知它们，例如，把温暖舒适的感觉转译成温暖的住所或房子的影像，或将恐惧转译为恶魔的形象。

甚至偶尔在醒时，一个人可能“自动换档”，突然发现自己有一秒钟或几分钟身处另一个这样的领域中。这通常会使人迷惑。也有些人经过训练而故意这样做，但他们往往没认识到，他们正在以人间意识的价值观去诠释自己的经验。

这一切并不像看起来那么深奥。几乎每个人都有意识上的怪异经验，并直觉地知道更丰富的经验并不限于物质世界。大多数的梦就像是从一个多半遗忘的旅程带回来的生动明信片。你的意识已经再次导向物质世界，而梦试着把深层次的经验转译为可认知的形式。梦中影像也是高度加密的，它们是潜在事件的信号，而那些事件基本上是无法破解的。

“说法者”帮你造梦，梦的确可算是一种多维艺术品——梦不止在一个实相世界中存在，它起到了剖析意识各个阶段的作用，用你们的话说，那些意识阶段对生者和死者都是真的，并且生者和死者都能参与。因此，灵感与启示才常常成为梦境的一部分。

脱离物质世界的焦点，你才能更好地倾听 “说法者”的声音，去转译他们的教导，去练习创造形象，去学习保持身体健康的方法。在睡眠最受保护的区域里，实相世界许多层面之间的明显障碍消失了。比如说，你觉知到了某些可能的实相世界。你选择了希望在你们的系统里实现的某些可能行动。在梦境里你跟随其他的可能行动并观察其结果。你们以个人的方式这样做，同时也在国家和全球的层面上集体地这样做。

There are also various states of consciousness in waking life, upon which you do not focus, and of which you are usually quite unaware. Each state knows its own conditions and is familiar with a different kind of reality.

“You” presently have a once-centered consciousness, in that “you” close off from your experience these other stages of consciousness in which other portions of your entire identity are intimately involved. These other stages of consciousness create their own realities as you create your own. The realities are, therefore, byproducts of consciousness itself. If you could become aware of these, they might appear to be other places to you, rather than realms or fields of different kinds of activities. If you probe into these realms you will be forced to perceive them with the root assumptions of your own system, translating feelings of warmth and comfort, for example, into images of warn shelters or buildings, or feelings of fear into images of demons.

On occasion even in waking life a personality may spontaneously shift gears, so to speak, and suddenly find itself for a second or perhaps a few moments within another such realm. Disorientation usually occurs. There are those who do this quite deliberately with training, but often they do not realize that they are interpreting the experiences they have with the values of their “home” consciousness.

All of this is not as esoteric as it might seem. Almost every individual has had bizarre experiences with consciousness, and knows intuitively that their greater experience is not limited to physical reality. Most dreams are like animated postcards brought back from a journey that you have returned from and largely forgotten. Your consciousness is already oriented again to physical reality; the dream, an attempt to translate the deeper experience into recognizable forms. 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.

Divorced from physical focus, you are in a better position to hear the Speakers, to translate their instructions, to practice with the creation of images, and to be guided in the methods of maintaining the health of the physical body. In the most protected areas of sleep, the apparent barriers between many layers of reality vanish. You are aware, for example, of some probable realities. You choose which probable acts you want to actualize in your system. You follow other probable acts through in the dream state. You do this individually, but you also do it en masse on national and global levels.
