开卷导言

“For those of you who do accompany me, I promise you an adventure, a creative alteration of consciousness, and experiences beyond those that you have known in your terms. You look at the world around you and are amazed at its richness and variety. Do you think that the inner world is not as rich, even more rich, more valid? Do you think there is but one kind of consciousness?

Your world is formed out of the vast unpredictability of consciousness. From it you form your own ideas of significance and of yourself. . . You must stop thinking in terms of ordinary progression. It is bad enough when you worry about keeping up with the Joneses. It is something else, however, when you start worrying about which kind of self [or consciousness] is superior to another kind.”

-Session 684, The Unknown Reality

 “对那些真的要与我为伴的人，我答应你们一个冒险，一个创造性的意识改变，以及超过你所曾知道的那些经验的经验。你看着你周围的世界，而对它的丰富与变化感到讶异。你们难道认为内在世界不是同样丰富，甚或更丰富、更有价值吗？你们难道认为只有一种意识吗？

你们的世界是由意识的广大不可预测性形成的。你们由它形成你们自己对重要性及对你们自己的概念……你们必须停止以通常的进步说法去想。当你担心如何跟得上张三或李四已经是够糟的了，然而，当你开始担心那一种自己（或意识）是比另一种更高超岂不更完蛋！”
