If one is disposed to recognize a theoretical subconscious [[mind]] as a practical working hypothesis in the otherwise unified [[intellectual]] life, then, to be consistent, one should postulate a similar and corresponding realm of ascending intellectual activity as the [[superconscious]] level, the zone of immediate contact with the indwelling [[spirit]] entity, the [[Thought Adjuster]]. The great danger in all these psychic speculations is that [[vision]]s and other so-called mystic [[experience]]s, along with <u>''extraordinary dreams''</u>, may be regarded as [[divine]] [[communication]]s to the human mind. In times past, [[divine]] [[being]]s have revealed themselves to certain God-knowing persons, not because of their mystic [[trance]]s or morbid [[vision]]s, <u>''but in spite of all these''</u> [[phenomena]].[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper100.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper100.html&line=99#mfs]
