light of reason to eliminate them. Telepathy does explain some of our
dreams, for just as it is possible for minds to receive telepathic
communications (thought transference) from another in the walking
state, it is also possible for the so-called dead to have telepathic
communication with the living, for thought is a power, its limitation
is unknown.

While many of our dreams may be traced to subconscious memory or
telepathy and happenings of material affairs of our daily lives,
others are undoubtedly the astral happenings of the ego while
functioning in the etheric regions. There we meet not only the
misnamed dead but also many of those who are still in the physical
body, and let me state here that many of our difficult problems of
physical life are worked out in sleep.

The old axiom, "I will go to sleep on it," has a greater significance
than is generally attributed to it, for sleep and dreams have more to
do in shaping your lives than you have any idea of. You can go to
school in sleep and study anything you are studying in physical life
and make marvelous progress. This requires much training, however.
Keeping the mind free from evil thoughts is most essential to enable
the sincere investigator to enter that larger state of consciousness,
for the thoughts of our waking state have a more or less effect on the
ego during sleep. Every individual harbors a certain train of thought,
whether at business or pleasure this train of thought has a tremendous
influence on the ego, in fact it shapes ones destiny.

Choose well your thoughts
for your choice
is brief and yet endless.
