The revelations have come through the centuries. The revelations are the centuries. The centuries are transparent. You can look through this history that you know. The selves that sit there know other selves. There are revelations within you that do not need words. They need to rise up like new planets into your own consciousness, and you need to treat them gently and not give them labels or names. So we are leading you away from labels and names, and for awhile you may feel confused or lonely, for you only feel safe when you can name an experience. And you want to know, what is it? What is its name? Is this language a truth? Did it exist in the past, what is it?  before you would consider using it.

Do not think first, “Is this a true word?” Use the word as a launching pad to experience. Within the word is a wordless knowledge. Now you need the sounds to remind you. In time—in your time—you will dispense even with the sounds. You will be walking backward, in your terms, into the heart of perception. Therefore, you will leave behind many of the truths that are now familiar to you, the words that you take for granted. For when you consider an experience, you apply words to it much more than feelings: “Does this word apply, or does that word apply, or what is it; and without its label, dare I experience this unknown?”

As I speak now, the revelations that you are burst into activity, and certainly you should know of this. While you think, “I am man, a member of a certain species, inhabiting a planet named Earth in this space and in this time,” then you place artificial barriers between you and your perceptions. And you dwell in a world in which words grow into a distorted lens that denies your own vision. Therefore, to some extent, we will crumble the words up, crumble the words up and distort them until it seems that in the language that we use you perceive certain familiar sounds. Your associative processes find a certain feeling of safety and familiarity, leaping upon this vowel and this syllable. All delightful trickery. But a trickery that is in its own way as truthful as revelations that you are.
