E.T. - Sleep

The conscious two-thirds of our life on earth
is measured by the degree of attention we give sleep.

Our understanding of and delight in what sleep has to bestow
will cause us, night after night, to set out for it
as though we were keeping an appointment with a lover. ...

Sleep is the time when the male or conscious mind turns from
the world of sense to seek its lover or subconscious self. ...

The conditions and events of your life are your children formed
from the molds of your subconscious impressions in sleep. ...

Whatever you have in consciousness as you go to sleep is the
measure of your expression in the waking two-thirds of your life
on earth. Nothing stops you from realizing your objective save
your failure to feel that you are already that which you wish to
be, or that you are already in possession of the thing sought.
Your subconscious gives form to your desires only when you
feel your wish fulfilled. ...

Because all things come from within yourself, and
your conception of yourself determines that which comes, you
should always feel the wish fulfilled before you drop off to
sleep. You never draw out of the deep of yourself that which
you want; you always draw that which you are, and you are that
which you feel yourself to be as well as that which you feel as
true of others. ...

The feeling which comes in response to the question
"How would I feel were my wish realized?" is the feeling
which should monopolize and immobilize your attention
as you relax into sleep. ...

Once asleep man has no freedom of choice. His entire slumber
is dominated by his last waking concept of self. It follows,
therefore, that he should always assume the feeling of
accomplishment and satisfaction before he retires in sleep. ...

Your mood prior to sleep defines your state of consciousness
as you enter into the presence of your everlasting lover,
the subconscious. ...

Feel as you would were you in possession of
your wish and quietly relax into unconsciousness. ...

In sleep man impresses the subconscious with his
conception of himself. ...

Night after night you should assume the feeling of being, having
and witnessing that which you seek to be, possess and see
manifested. Never go to sleep feeling discouraged or dissatisfied. ...

Your subconscious, whose natural state is sleep, sees you
as you believe yourself to be, and whether it be good, bad,
or indifferent, the subconscious will faithfully embody your belief. ...

Disregard appearances and feel that things are as you wish
them to be, for "He calleth things that are not seen
as though they were, and the unseen becomes seen." ...

"Signs follow, they do not precede." Proof that you are will
follow the consciousness that you are; it will not precede it. ...

Your dreams take form as you assume the feeling of their reality. ...

Knowing that nothing is impossible to consciousness begin to
imagine states beyond the experiences of the past.

Whatever the mind of man can imagine man can realize.

All objective (visible) states were first
subjective (invisible) states, and you called them into visible
states by assuming the feeling of their reality. The creative
process is first imagining and then believing the state imagined.

Always imagine and expect the best. ...

The world cannot change until you change your conception of it. ...

No matter what the problem is, no matter where it is, no matter
whom it concerns, you have no one to change but yourself,
and you have neither opponent nor helper in bringing about
the change within yourself.

You have nothing to do but convince yourself
of the truth of that which you desire to see manifested.

As soon as you succeed in convincing yourself
of the reality of the state sought, results follow
to confirm your fixed belief. ...

Realization of your wish is accomplished by assuming the
feeling of the wish fulfilled. ...

The waking two-thirds of your life on earth ever corroborates or
bears witness to your subconscious impressions. The actions and
events of the day are effects; they are not causes. ...

The actions of man are determined by his
subconscious impressions.

His illusion of free will, his belief in freedom of action, is
but ignorance of the causes which make him act.

He thinks himself free because he has forgotten
the link between himself and the event. ...

Man awake is under compulsion to express his subconscious
impressions. If in the past he unwisely impressed himself, then
let him begin to change his thought and feeling, for only as he
does so will he change his world. ...

Turn from appearances and assume the feeling
that would be yours were you already the one you wish to be. ...

Feeling a state produces that state. The part you play on the
world's stage is determined by your conception of yourself.
By feeling your wish fulfilled and quietly relaxing into sleep, you
cast yourself in a star role to be played on earth tomorrow, and
while asleep you are rehearsed and instructed in your part. ...

Unless you consciously and purposely define the attitude of
mind with which you go to sleep, you unconsciously go to sleep
in the composite attitude of mind made up of all feelings and
reactions of the day. Every reaction makes a subconscious
impression and, unless counteracted by an opposite and more
dominant feeling, is the cause of future action. ...

Your conception of yourself as you fall asleep is the seed you drop
into the ground of the subconscious. Dropping off to sleep
feeling satisfied and happy compels conditions and events to
appear in your world which confirm these attitudes of mind. ...

Sleep is the door into heaven. What you take in as a feeling you
bring out as a condition, action, or object in space. So sleep in
the feeling of the wish fulfilled. ...

"As in consciousness so on earth." ...
