Now, many of us should learn to do this in waking dreams, as my friend did it whose story I told the first night. These were waking dreams, the magazine, the money to cover the checks in excess of what he’d drawn against…all these things were done in the waking state. Learn to so control this Imagination of yours that you could dream while awake and set in motion your changes from one level to the other. You can’t change the age; that comes up the road. You can’t change the age; that comes up the road. That comes when you least expect it, like a thief in the night. No one can earn the exit from this age; that comes upon you suddenly as promised in the beginning.343 ¶42
