Now if you would truly learn how to listen, and you are beginning to, then you would know what I am saying and my own speech lately is carefully calculated. In certain terms, and remembering what I told you earlier, in certain terms the Sumari language does exist, and in certain terms you know it well. The Sumaris certainly exist, and you are here because you are a Sumari. And the Sumari have a way of looking in on their own now and then and coming home. These are your own secrets I am bringing out into the open. Questions that you have within yourselves. You need ways to make the answers plain to you so that you can understand them. We work in two directions. First we try to bring interior knowledge outward into some kind of physical materialization where you can deal with it in terms of sound or vision, and then we try to get you to go inward and dispense with sound and vision, so you are always working in two directions at once. And since past, present and future exist now in your terms you need bridges, because you do not really understand the nature of time, so you think you need a bridge to get from past to present or from past to future or from one kind of reality to another. This is not the case, of course, but while you think you need the bridges they are provided, and the Sumari are voices that call to you though they do not have sound. They are memories that come to you from yourselves from both the future and the past. They are yourselves speaking to you in multitudinous voices in many languages focused for you in a particular place and a particular time. You are the Sumari who communicate with you and they are you.

Then that is not a matter of health foods, but of honesty, and that you must deal with yourself, but tell yourself you will know the answer and make the reasons for your objections clear. Do not buck him on principle to buck him.

The leaves, in your terms, as they fall add to further seeds. There is no difference between the leaves, the tree and the seed. These are only appearances. The seed is as much the leaf as it is the seed. It is as much the sky as it is the trunk. A tree grows as deeply within and under the earth as it does above it. It is therefore as much dirt and worms as it is bark. It is as much the birds that rest upon its branches as it is the seed that gave it birth. And in what I have said is contained the seed of your answer.

So that each board session is not so critical. You should not be dependent upon the board for your answer. You should allow the answer to spontaneously come from within, otherwise the board becomes a symbol in this particular case now alone, so that you demand the answer of it and that is not how to go about it. Does that make it clear?
