Yogananda, Paramahansa, 1893-1952

"Autobiography of a Yogi"

Energy will dissolve into consciousness; the earth-idea
will disappear from objectivity.
"'The substance of a dream is held in materialization by the
subconscious thought of the dreamer. When that cohesive thought
is withdrawn in wakefulness, the dream and its elements dissolve.
A man closes his eyes and erects a dream-creation which, on awakening,
he effortlessly dematerializes. He follows the divine archetypal
pattern. Similarly, when he awakens in cosmic consciousness, he
will effortlessly dematerialize the illusions of the cosmic dream.
"'Being one with the infinite all-accomplishing Will, Babaji can
summon the elemental atoms to combine and manifest themselves in
any form. This golden palace, instantaneously created, is real,
even as this earth is real. Babaji created this palatial mansion out
of his mind and is holding its atoms together by the power of his
will, even as God created this earth and is maintaining it intact.'
He added, 'When this structure has served its purpose, Babaji will
dematerialize it.'
"As I remained silent in awe, my guide made a sweeping gesture. 'This
shimmering palace, superbly embellished with jewels, has not been
built by human effort or with laboriously mined gold and gems. It
stands solidly, a monumental challenge to man. {FN34-5} Whoever
realizes himself as a son of God, even as Babaji has done, can
reach any goal by the infinite powers hidden within him.
