Sleep, the unconscious condition, is the original condition from which all has come. Activity has come from sleep and returns to it. The consciousness has become mind in order to see and hear more. It has become body, in order to see and hear more. You may ask, "If all is consciousness, then why does the soul see and perceive, why does not the body see and perceive" I will say, "The whole body is the self, yet it is the eyes that see, the feet do not see." It is the work of the soul to see, and it is the work of the mind and body to be seen yet they in their turn also see and hear what is external to them, as the consciousness works through them also.
