Chapter 12: Out of Time 571<br />

has a slightly different perspective, even if they are involved with the same incident<br />

or the same time sequence.<br />

A: Of course! That is the treasury of learning.<br />

Q: Who is the treasurer?<br />

A: The learner.<br />

Q: But still, what you said still implies that an atom has an objective existence. Is<br />

this correct?<br />

A: Yes.<br />

Q: Would you please tell us what constitutes objectivity?<br />

A: The effort on the part of the observer to leave prejudice “at the door”.<br />

Q: How does the effort on the part of the observer to leave prejudice at the door<br />

relate to the objective existence of an atom?<br />

A: An atom, as with absolutely everything else, cannot exist without an observer.<br />

Q: So, in the case of the objectivity of an atom, if the human observers are not<br />

objective, where is the observer who makes the atom objective, or does the atom<br />

not exist if there is no observer?<br />

A: Yes to the latter comment.<br />

Q: So there must be an observer. Must the observer be human?<br />

A: The observer must be a consciousness.<br />

Q: If you say that an atom has an objective existence, yet it only exists if it is<br />

perceived by a consciousness, then an atom does not have an objective existence,<br />

correct?<br />

A: No.<br />

Q: Okay, what is the distinction? You say that objectivity is the attempt on the part<br />

of the observer to leave prejudice at the door.<br />

A: Without consciousness, there is neither objective nor subjective!!<br />

Q: So the crux is the attempt to leave prejudice at the door in the same manner as<br />

one would be non-anticipatory in order to create?<br />

A: Yes.<br />

Q: Well, that is a very tricky... (A) Is consciousness objective?<br />

A: Consciousness is objective, until it has the capacity to choose to be otherwise.<br />

Q: What is the stimulus for the change, for the giving of the capacity to choose?<br />

A: The introduction of prejudice.<br />

Q: In a cosmic sense, cosmic consciousness, in the sense of The One Unified<br />

Consciousness, what is the stimulus there for the ability to choose?<br />

A: When the journey has reached union with The One, all such lessons have been<br />

completed.<br />

Q: But, that doesn’t answer the question.<br />

A: Yes, it does!<br />

And this is where the study of nature comes in. There is a passage from Psalms<br />

about Nature as a source of knowledge:
