“Besides the outer senses that you take for granted, you have inner senses. These will enable you to perceive reality as it exists independently of the physical matter that you know. You must learn how to use, develop and recognize these inner senses. The methods are given in the material. But you cannot utilize the material until you understand it.

“The material itself is cleverly – if you will forgive the term – cleverly executed so that as you grapple to understand it you are already beginning to use abilities beyond those that you take for granted.

“You must first of all, cease identifying yourself completely with your ego. You must not just listen to my words but realize not only that you are more than your ego, but that you can perceive more than your ego perceives. You [must] demand more of yourself than you have ever demanded in your life.” ~ ESP Class, October 21, 1969.
