我们只是“假装”清醒

其实，正如我曾提到过的，虽然你感觉自己“正常的清醒意识”是连续的，通常并没什么空白点，然而它却有巨大的波动。在很大程度上它只对自己及自己的感知有所记忆。因此，在正常意识里，看起来好像没有真正的其他种类的意识，也没有其他的区域或层面。当它遇到“空白点”而“回来”时，它抹掉了对 “无功能时刻”的觉察。

它忘掉了那个“踉跄”。当它作为自己时，它无法觉察到交替发生的其他种类的意识，除非用什么方法使它从这个“健忘症”中恢复。

正常的清醒意识在实相世界之间跳进跳出。有时它走了，而你却毫无觉察。这种时候，你的注意力集中于别处，在你称之为“微梦”或“幻想”的状态，或者远在正常焦点之外的联想和直觉过程中。

在这间隔里，你确实在感知其他的实相世界——运用的却不是正常的清醒意识。当你回来时，那根线就断了。正常的清醒意识假装从来没有任何间歇。这种情形的发生呈现出一定的规律性，且程度不一，按照你的活动情况，每小时十五到五十次不等。

很多时候，许多人确实逮到了自己，因为那经验如此生动以至于跨越了间隔，可以说，那种时候的感受是如此强烈，甚至让正常的清醒意识也觉察到了它。这些间隔对身体意识是很有必要的。它们被巧妙而细密地织入了你的觉察之网，渲染了你心灵与感觉氛围的色彩。

正常的清醒意识在这广大无垠的支持性网络中织出织入。你的内在体验如此复杂，几乎无法用言语形容。虽然正常的清醒意识有自身的记忆，但显然并未保存所有时间的所有记忆。有人说，对过去事件的记忆掉回了潜意识。那些记忆仍然热情地活着，我说的“活着”是指生动而活跃，虽然你并不专注其上。

你人格的内在部分也记着你所有的梦。这些梦同时存在，好比说，像是高悬在一个黑暗城市上的灯，照亮心灵的各个部分。这些记忆系统互相连接、交相辉映。因此，以同样方式，你对前世生活的记忆也相当完整，全都在整个记忆系统里运作。

在意识的“空白点”或某些波动期，常常能感知到这些记忆系统。通常，具有自身记忆系统的“有意识心智”不会接受它们。当一个人领悟了其他实相世界的存在，并且明白意识的其他经验是可能的，这时，他便激活了自己内在的某些潜能。这些使心智及大脑内的电磁连接发生了改变，甚至感知的机制也起了变化。能量被聚集起来，活动路径被建立起来，由此增强了有意识心智对这些资料的敏感度。有意识的心智解放了自己。它经历了一个巨大的蜕变，承担起更多的功能。它将渐渐感知到从前不对它开放的一些内容。它不必再恐惧地感知那些短暂的“空白点”，把它们当作“不存在”的证据。

刚才提到的意识波动通常很细微，却非常重要。有意识的心智相当清楚自己的波动状态。一旦引导它去面对这种波动，它就不会再发现“混乱”，或者更糟糕的“不存在”，而是会找到自己能力与力量的源泉。于是，这个人便开始利用自己的潜能。

As mentioned somewhat earlier in this book, while your normal waking consciousness seems continual to you, and you are aware usually of no blank spots, nevertheless it has great fluctuations. To a large extent it has memory only of itself and its own perceptions. In normal consciousness, then, it seems as if there are no real other kinds of consciousness, no other areas or levels. When it encounters ‘‘blank spots” and ‘‘returns,” it blots out awareness that the moment of nonfunction occurred.

It forgets the stumble. It cannot be aware of alternate kinds of consciousness while being itself, unless methods are taken that allow it to recover from this amnesia.

It plays hopscotch in and out of reality. It is gone sometimes and you are not aware of it. On such occasions your attention is focused elsewhere, in what you might call mini-dreams or hallucinations, or associative and intuitive processes of thought that go quite beyond normal focus.

In these lapses you are perceiving other kinds of reality —with other than normal waking consciousness. When you return, you lose the thread. Normal waking consciousness pretends there was never any break. This happens with some regularity, and to varying degrees, from fifteen to fifty times an hour, according to your activities.

At various times many people do catch themselves, the experience being so vivid that it leaps the gap, so to speak, with perception so intense that even normal waking consciousness is made aware of it. These intervals are quite necessary to physical consciousness. They are woven through the fabric of your awareness so cleverly and so intimately that they color your psychic and feeling atmosphere.

Normal waking consciousness weaves in and out of this infinite supportive webwork. Your inner experience is so intricate that verbally it is almost impossible to describe. Normal waking consciousness, while having memory of itself, obviously does not retain all memory all of the time. It is said that memory of past events drops back into the subconscious. It is still intensely alive, and by alive I mean living and active, although you do not focus upon it.

Inner portions of your personality also have memory of all of your dreams. These exist simultaneously, and suspended, so to speak, like lights over a dark city, illuminating various portions of the psyche. These memory systems are all interconnected. Now in the same way you have your memory of past lives, all quite complete and all operating in the entire memory system.

In periods of conscious “blank spots” or certain fluctuations, these memory systems are often perceived. As a rule the conscious mind with its own memory system will not accept them. When a personality realizes that such other realities exist and that other experiences with consciousness are possible, then he activates certain potentials within himself. These alter electromagnetic connections both within the mind, the brain, and even the perceptive mechanisms. They bring together reservoirs of energy and set up pathways of activity, allowing the conscious mind to increase its degree of sensitivity to such data. The conscious mind is set free of itself. To a large measure it undergoes a metamorphosis, taking on greater functions. It is able to perceive, little by little, some of the content before closed to it. It need no longer perceive the momentary “blank spots” fearfully, as evidence of nonexistence.

The fluctuations mentioned earlier are often quite minute, yet highly significant. The conscious mind knows well of its own fluctuating state. When once it is led to face this, it finds not chaos, or worse, nonexistence, but the source of its own abilities and strength. The personality then begins to use its own potential.
