Infinite POSSIBILITIES

And if we could extend our awareness, you see, to include those things that we leave out we would have a deep interior peace. Because we would all know the one thing that you mustn't know. You know, according to the rules of our particular social game... One thing you mustn't know that's really not allowed... That is the "low down" on life, and the low down, on the one hand, means the "real dirt" on things... But the low down is also what is profound, what is mysterious, what is in the depths. And there's something left out. And our everyday consciousness screams this out... In the same way that when you say you have weaving, you have say, on this rug here in front of us... When the black finishes here, the black threads will go underneath, and then appear again over here... Then they'll go underneath the white and then they'll appear again over here, you know? So that the back will be the obverse pattern of the front. Now, the world is like that - our sense organs are selective. They pick out certain things, they are receptive. For example, we have a small, small band of what you might call a spectrum of light,  of sound, of tactile sensation and so on... To which the human organism is sensitive. But we know that outside that small band... There is a huge range of vibrations, to which we have built instruments that are sensitive. Things like cosmic rays, ultraviolet rays, gamma rays, hard x-rays, and so on. They're all outside the band of our spectrum, and obviously there are things that are outside the range of our instruments. We may build new instruments  someday, which will evoke, bring into our consciousness other orders of vibration altogether.  But as yet, we don't know about them... So, you could imagine, you see, the Universe is a vast, vast system of vibrations. And has infinite possibilities!
