(We discussed the Sumari “language” and what it could mean.)

We want to do away with the normal punctuation of your experience, for you put periods and question marks and dashes where they do not belong. What Ruburt said earlier concerning the songs of the Sumari is indeed true. The words are stepping stones to lead you into other areas of experience. (To Gert.) Do not be afraid to step off of the words.

(Sumari spoke to class for some time, individually and collectively, using chants and particular characterizations. Jane then came out of trance and instructed the students to stand in various areas of the room, in answer to significant feelings she had about these positions. After meeting Florence in the center of the room, Sue wrote a short verse about their encounter and read it to class.)

(To Sue.) Now you are learning to speak Sumari; and all of you in your own way can use it, and it does not depend upon verbal understanding. It is simplicity. It is the language beneath touch, and you do not need words for it though you must translate your experience somehow. But you can do that by jangling the words that you know and unlearning what you think you know.

(At break Pete described the class experience in some very Sumari English.)

(Here Jane came out of trance and indicated that Florence was “supposed to do something” tonight. After a few minutes, Florence drew a geometric design on a notepad and explained that she had been doodling this for years, and that it seemed important to all of us. Thereupon, with Sumari’s help, class got up and walked around in a circle, all of us chanting along with the Sumari, who indicated to several of us to do certain motions. When it was over, we all sat down and Florence remarked that she felt she still hadn’t done what she was “supposed” to do with the symbol.

You will be able to. The Sumari wear many guises and they... (words lost).

During ESP Class the Sumari, through Jane, told Florence to go look out the middle window, and Sue to look at the door which they did. At the same time Florence and Sue turned and walked toward each other and met in the center of the room. Florence knelt before Sue, and Sue was stunned—for a second. Then Sue put her hand on Florence’s head, and Florence got up and they embraced, and it was over.... Then Sue got the following as a concept in both Sumari and English at once.
