Ego Expansion

On other terms, psychedelic experience, with or without

drugs of course, enlarges the range of electromagnetic
realties that you perceive.

Barriers are cut away. And once you become used to

receiving within a larger range. you will be able to do so
in your future. These ranges, once opened up, then do
not entirely close up to you. It becomes easier for you in
your future to receive within them.

A disciplined but intuitive ego then becomes a necessity,

in order that such new experience may be brought under
useful control, in your terms. The ego becomes more
necessary you see, not less, for it must learn to
synthesize the gained experience in recognizable terms
within your system. Otherwise, if the ego is pushed aside,
it will rise up in arms and in {opposition} and can be
highly dangerous.

It goes without saying that in our methods the ego is

changed rather completely but gradually, in many cases,
and only through its own willingness to do so. It
recognizes its identity as a part of the inner self.
Therefore, basically it has no need to fight the inner self,
since it knows its survival is dependent upon the inner
framework.

The ego to some large extent, you see, has extended its
functions and performance. Since our sessions began, for
example, it has expanded in both of your cases. It has
expanded not because it has grown more egotistic but
because it has accepted, as a part of itself, intuitional
realizations and inner psychic responsibilities in a way
that it did not consider before.

In other words, portions of the inner self have joined the

strictly egotistical functions. The ego, in such cases, is so
attuned that it becomes almost something else. We are
coming here toward a definition of illumination in

psychic terms. The ego is not banished. It joins with

portions of the inner self previously unconscious and
illuminates the whole personality. It is no longer
primarily physically oriented. Therefore, it is no longer an
ego in the terms usually meant.

Again, this is an important point. The ego has accepted

the goals of the inner self. Its identity has already
changed, so that its main concern is no longer primarily
with physical manipulation but with inner growth and
development.

This does not mean that it ignores its earlier functions. In

true expansion of consciousness, then, you become more
and more aware, more conscious of inner realities that
were previously never realized on a conscious level. Since
the ego is presently your main vehicle of consciousness,
it will not be obliterated. It will, indeed, be resurrected. It
simply changes not only its form but its inner core,
accepting as a part of itself realities which it previously

ignored out of fear, ignorance, and insecurity.

It becomes more and more a portion of the

supraconsciousness. Its new function is to help direct the
overall personality so that inner abilities and
illuminations can also reach physical reality.

The material in tonight's session is highly relevant. And

we shall continue it.

The ego has completely changed its structure. It has

changed in electromagnetic identify in your cases, since
our sessions. It has learned, to some extent, to assimilate
your inner experiences. In the long run, this is the most
effective method. And in the long run, no consciousness
expansion can occur unless the ego structure is so
altered.

There are other methods that also alter it. But our
methods are the most advantageous from many
standpoints.
