are identified they are no longer bothersome. The same is true of thoughts in relation to the shape of the physical body. For example, if you have been conditioned to acute awareness of nakedness, you will automatically think you are clothed—and so you are. The form of your physical body is carried over in replica down to the last hair follicle and scar, unless you deliberately think otherwise. Conversely, if your thought habits have been in other directions, you may take whatever form is most convenient, deliberately or otherwise. I suspect that one may modify the Second Body into whatever form is desired. Once the thought is discarded, the Second Body will drop back into its habitual humanoid shape. This opens up some interesting speculation into man's mythology. If one wished to experience the existence of a quadruped, the Second Body might be transformed temporarily into a large dog, and someone with Second State vision (there probably are many such people) might encounter a werewolf. Or the fables of half man, half goat/horse could be the result. One might "think" wings and fly, and be transformed momentarily into a vampire bat It seems less impossible when one experiments with the power of thought in the Second State. To put it another way, there seems to be nothing that thought cannot produce in this new-old other life. This invites a note of caution in large red letters: be absolutely sure of the results you desire, and constantly in control of the thoughts you engender. Perception changes. This is the area of most significant yet most incomprehensible alteration. Because we have learned no other way of dealing with it, all sensory input is translated at first into terms and meanings appreciated by the five physical senses. For example, when one begins to "see" in this unfamiliar shape, the impression is that this "seeing" is much the same as optical reception by the physical eyes. Only later do you discover empirically that this is not the case. It isn't physical "seeing" at all. You learn that you can "see" in all directions at once, without turning the head, that you see or do not see according to the thought; and that when examined objectively, it is more an impression of radiation rather than a reflection of light waves. The same applies to other physical senses. You believe at first that you are hearing people "speak" to you. Early, you perceive that no "ear" has received a sensory message. In some other way, you have received the message (thought) and your mind has translated it into understandable words. Touch seems to have the most definite relationship to its physical counterpart. Smell and taste have been conspicuously absent to date. Most interesting is the
