We experience an awful lot more in the sleep state than we experience in the waking state
On June 23, 2023 By Ridzerd
Man remembers what he experienced here while awake. But he doesn’t remember anything else here on earth. That is what he experiences when he is asleep. And when we are asleep we experience an awful lot more than we experience when we are awake, only the human being with the present consciousness cannot yet comprehend the sleep experiences. Once the ability to do this has been achieved – which can be achieved by human beings – then one knows that an enormous amount is experienced during sleep. But people generally don’t know it yet.
Now the human being dies, and what he experienced while awake goes away after two or three days. It’s as if all the thoughts you experienced while awake just went away after two, three, four days. And then all the things that one has experienced in one’s sleep appear. As I told you, they then need a third of all life on earth. So what people experience inwardly, they don’t yet know here on earth. He will know when he becomes more and more spiritual deepened.
Therefore we need not be surprised that in the present life on earth the things that happened in previous lives on earth are still unconscious. I told you the other day what a difference it is when I’ve put on a shirt button without being conscious of it – I can walk around in the morning and look, always looking – and if I remember explicitly: You have put this little button here -, I’m not going to walk around there, I’m going to go straight for it. It just depends on whether you think of anything.
