It is not. There is an association in your mind, however, between the character of Camp and your grandfather, but it is an association from this life that seems to connect them. It is also responsible for your image of the woods. This has to do with immediate psychological associations of a camp in the woods.

Now in the back of your mind, and you may yell at me later, conventional religion is symbolized by the Catholic religion because of its fantastic organization. And in your mind the Pope represents that organization and he paid tribute. He gave to these hooded robbers that came in at the side door. He did not give much, but he gave, and he gave because any religion must pay tribute to the inner knowledge of the self and the true inner knowledge does not come in through the front door. It comes in through the side door when you are least looking for it.

Now the red hoods had a peculiar significance, subconsciously speaking, to you because the red subconsciously meant violence and the idea in the back of your mind that religions through the ages have often resulted in violence and also Cardinals, you see, wear red hats at times.

It seems to have a dim connection for you having to do with a young woman who received on that date, a letter of an emotional import. Now I am not sure if the woman’s name was Lillian, but a Lillian was somehow connected with the event. The episode was not a traumatic one. It was simply an emotional one, a trivial incident, however, that you picked up telepathically. It sprang to your mind because of the connection of a desk with a letter.

The event was subconsciously recognized by you and had to do, I believe, with a woman with whom you worked with, whom you are at least partially involved in that you meet her now and then. She is not in the room in which you work but I believe, some two doors down or two places removed. I do not know if she is there now, but she was at that time and you met her in the hallway. It was a telepathic connection on your part that subconsciously simply came to the forefront of your mind with the date.

(To Joel) I have a few remarks for you and it is this. You depend upon her to do all this questioning for you for it releases your mind and you can go into your trance in an easier manner. You know that she will be highly critical and, therefore, she saves you the burden, the added burden, of questioning yourself. This releases you to go into your trance. In the back of your mind the two of you have made a bargain.
