[V1-P222]At night, you truly come alive. Many, many upon your planet only rise in consciousness in their sleep. There is a desperate starvation upon your planet. It is the starvation of the spirits that have forgotten how to contact their Creator. During sleep, your spirit involuntarily goes directly into the real universe, and breathes and lives and radiates the joy of the Creator.
Were it not for this unconscious activity of the spirit of many of those upon the surface of the planet, they would be unable to continue their existence in the physical body.
In fact, this is the reason for the amount of sleep that is needed upon this planet. It is necessary in order to give enough food to the spirit. In the case of those who through meditation have found a conscious contact with the Creator, they may find that less sleep may be adequate.
[V2-p123 Nov21, 1976] Each of you who dwell within the physical also has at the heart of that physical body an animating spirit. And this animating spirit often becomes starved by the active daily existence of your physical being.
It is in sleep that this being refreshes itself, for it is then free of the gross physical form with its chemicals and its impurities.
And it (the spirit) can take instruction, work out deeper difficulties which have penetrated to its existence, and store up energies with which to animate the physical being during the waking period.
Dream activity is of this nature and without the dream activity the physical being would soon be unable to function.
The life that has power, the life that has begun to spring from the inside, from the core of your being, so that it is an enabling life, so that the person living it is able to give with love and with energy—this life is available to the seeker who has truly sought and found that which transforms his life.
Within the religion with which many of you are familiar, this experience has been called “being saved.” And yet the Redeemer is your own consciousness. It is a closer thing to call it the Holy Spirit, as it is also known within the religion which has sprung up after the teachings of the master known as Jesus.
The Spirit created all of the creations of the Father, you among them. So we say to you, yes, find the beauties and see the services but at the very core, after you have observed the laws of the Father, which are beauty and service, observe the true power—love itself—that has created all this in its perfection.
