Free Love Story: In The Web of Life by Ken Renshaw

call your imagination. You can close your eyes and imagine
an apple tree, climb it, get an apple and eat it. If you have a
good imagination, you can even taste the apple. Spirit and your imagination aren't bound by logic.
    "Many, let us say, of your tribes and cultures,
some as large as nations, live according to ideas of thousands of
years ago. If someone of note said something centuries or millennia
ago many follow that idea without questioning it, even though the
idea or practice is no longer relevant to the time-space they now
live in. The idea is a rule, held in place with the logic that if
you disobey, something bad will happen to you.
    "You also use logic to create abstractions of
physical reality in the form of mathematics. Your engineers have
used logic to create what you call computers that use logic in
their hardware and software to conduct physical tasks, communicate,
and bring you music, and pictures and stories on what you call
television. Your computers don't think or feel: they do immense
manipulations of logical elements you call bits; they are the
ultimate form of logic.
    "Spirits don't need to create the abstraction;
they can simply create the reality. Logic
and language are, therefore, just a method of dealing with your
limitations of physical reality.
    " Spirit (or your
subconscious) operates in a pre-symbolic non-symbolic realm. It creates ideas your brain circuits and your brain ware (all
the stuff you have learned from your family or school) translates
the idea into speech or symbols you draw, write, or
type.
    "Questions! We have given you a lot, of what
you say on your planet, to chew on. For those of you who are here
for the first time, let us say, the first three rows are for those
of you who think you may have questions. If you have a question,
please raise your hand, and our assistant will give you a
microphone."
    A man in a business suit raised his hand,
waited for the microphone, and asked, "Some of our country's most
important documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and
our Constitution, depend on logic. Our society couldn't run without
those guides. Aren't they our highest thinking?"
    Herondus answered: "Those are, indeed,
important documents for your civilization. The logic is in the
expression of the ideas. The pre-symbolic thinking that the authors
did before writing those was on the conceptual level: the meaning
of rights, equality, freedom, etc. They added the logic as they put
pen to paper."
    A woman with long red hair raised her hand, was
given the microphone, and asked, "When I am thinking a problem out,
I talk to myself, and logically discuss about what I am going to
do. Isn't that my highest form of thinking?"
    Herondus answered: "Your subconscious is giving
you the ideas that your brain and brain ware converts to sub vocal
speaking. The subconscious thinking
happens during the sub-vocal dialog between parts of
yourself."
    About ten people asked questions and received
answers. Then, Herondus said, "We do not want to get, as you say,
too technical about what is what kind of thinking. We want to
emphasize that what may seem logical to you is not necessarily
true, because what you believe is logical
depends on your education or training, your brain ware.
    "Once, in your space-time, the idea of a round
earth was unacceptable: there was a set of logic that assured
everyone that the world was flat.
    Herondus looked at his watch and said, "Now, we
would like to take a ten-minute break, and, when you come back, we
will take you on a meditation."
    All was quiet until the man doing the
channeling opened his eyes and looked blearily around the
room.
    Everyone then hurried from the room or began
talking to friends. I excused myself and went to the bathroom. As I
was returning, I ran into Tina and Elise in the ballroom
lobby.
    "What do you think about Herondus?" Tina asked
with an air of excitement.
    "Frankly, I am a little overwhelmed. He has
given me a lot to think about. Can I get a
