Now two of you are particularly Sumari. Two of you over here in the corner here (Ron and Laurie) have still to learn that you are Sumari, but it does not matter whether you accept the fact that you are Sumari or not, because you are. And the term Sumari does not matter. It is a word that we have coined for a state of being and you can use any term that you prefer.

(To Bette.) And for our friend over here, Richelieu’s cousin, neither are you supposed to know what each word of Sumari language means. You are to use the words again as stepping stones and that is all. At some time you no longer need them.

Now I want you to do something if you wish. If you do not wish, then you can sit and observe. Now I want you simply to follow along, to listen to the sounds, to let whatever images come into your mind come. Do not attempt to translate the words that you hear into words that you know. Do not get hung up on semantics. Do not get hung up on personality. In other words, simply accept an experience. Let yourselves go with it, whatever happens. If you feel like setting up barriers, then set up barriers. If you feel like letting barriers go then let them go, but do whatever you feel like doing and whatever you feel like doing, do. If you feel like getting up and standing in front of someone else and relating with them, do it. If you feel like singing, sing. If you see images, enjoy them. If your muscles cramp, then sit and feel them cramp. If you feel like examining what is going on, then examine what is going on. If you feel like joining in with what is going on, then join in. So feel free, in other words, to do whatever you feel like doing. Now give us a moment.

Now all of you try again not to try. Right off is better than right on, so try not to try. Try, in other words, to feel what you want to do at a given time. To give you a sense of freedom, if you do not want to do anything, do not do anything, and the others should not be offended. A sense of privacy is always respected here, but also realize the sacred nature of spontaneity and of your own feelings, and do not make logical deductions now. You can make logical deductions when you discuss what happened, and you can be as critical as you want to be.

(To Laurie.) And so are people that (words lost) of others.
