Now all of you, in your own way and even you (Nadine), have begun to be familiar enough with concepts so that in your dream states and in some of your conscious states you are beginning to play around with them, and so we are in a new playground. And in this playground the root assumptions and the rules and the regulations are somewhat different. And the concepts are not to be used as elegant fences that you climb up and, hopefully, over or that you admire, but the concepts will begin to open up for you so that you experience their reality.

And I hope you learn to follow the changes in your own symbolisms that occur in these various stages.
