Where it came from
Two thirds of it was spoken first
We matched the text against his five talks of 1948, six words at a time. 66.6% of its words sit in runs that match exactly. Chapters 1 and 2 pull mainly from Lesson 5, chapter 4 is nearly all Lesson 4, and chapter 3 is the part he wrote fresh. Tap a band to read its number.
One passage goes back to 1946
One passage goes back further. His 1946 piece The Search speaks of “the deep, hidden One within us,” and by 1949 he had changed that to “the dimensionally greater One within us.” The rest of the sentence stayed. You can read those talks through the Lecture Finder, and the formula runs as a guided session in the Drowsy Scene Session.
Questions
About the book
What is the three-step formula in Out of This World?
First define what you want. Second, construct an event that would follow its fulfillment, with yourself in the action. Third, immobilize the body, induce a condition akin to sleep and feel yourself into that action.
What does thinking fourth-dimensionally mean?
He says a future event already exists in a larger dimension, and that you can enter it in imagination before it reaches this one. That is his teaching, and his physics is his own.
Are the 1948 talks and this text the same thing?
Largely. Chapters 1 and 4 run around 85 to 92 percent identical to them, while chapter 3 is about 10 percent.
Why are there no Bible figures?
We don't know why. None of the 13 Bible names we track appears, though he still quotes scripture, starting with John 14:29.
