species possesses within itself those inclinations which will flower. It means also that you are limiting the range of your knowledge by not taking advantage of such methods. It does not mean that in your terms all knowledge already exists, either, for knowledge automatically becomes individualized as you receive it, and hence, new.

Your experience changes constantly, and so does the intimate context of your life — but you concentrate upon points of order, in your terms, that actually serve to scale down the context of your experience to make it more comprehensible. There are no such limits naturally set about your consciousness.

Their products are the seas upon which you sail your ships, the skies through which your airplanes fly, the land upon which your cities

Again, cellularly-attuned consciousness generates dreams. Consciousness, riding on a molecular back, generates a physical reality and events suited to it. ... Thinking also rests firmly in the reality of cellularly-attuned consciousness. Thought takes time, and exists by virtue of cellular composition. Consciousness not focused in cellular
