Now if you were not the Sumari you would not be here at this particular time, and if all of you did not know what it was to be Sumari you would not be here at all. You have been given a language it seems that is not a language. And since you have been given it there is a reason for it, and what earthly good is a language that is not a language? An ancient language that never was and within those paradoxes what meanings are there for you to learn? Now I have—I’ve always been Sumari. I am a tough old Sumari. I am a Sumari of the old school. A Tumali of the old school. And what is there about a language that has both beginnings and endings in it as you think of them, elements of a distant past and portents of what perhaps languages might be in your future? And why do you need a language beside the one that you have? And you need not worry, you will not have to learn declensions. I would not have you stew over that with all of your other problems (to Bette).

Now all of you to some extent in your dream work keep records, and as such you are dealing with language as you know it, and you are interpreting your experience in terms of a mundane language that is as much a deception as it is a reflection of your feelings and experiences, for you cannot find words within your language to express your own feelings and experiences. Now, are you witnesses of the beginning of a language, the birth of a language that never existed? Are you witnesses of the reemergence of a language that was never spoken? Did it ever occur to you that there are languages that have never been verbalized, that beneath the words that you know and speak there are other sounds and other meanings that you do not approximate with the language that you know? Did it ever occur to you that there are other methods of communication and ways of learning what they are and steps to learning them?

(Gert remarked it was good to hear Seth speak again.)

That was a delightful statement, and I have been here all along. Someone has to overlook the goings on here. While the cat is away the mice will play and the Sumari are the trap.

If, and I am speaking now metaphorically, if-if-if-if-if there was ever a Sumari language existing in the past then it had to be created, and if you want it to be found you had better help create it. You are forming realities. There are people, there are groups of consciousness, who cannot speak. There are feelings that have no vocal expression. There are consciousness, groups of consciousness, that try to communicate and you cannot listen because you insist that they have a language.

Hot rum and hot brandy. Now some evening I will give you a discourse on the benefits of hot brandy, for it was one of my favorite drinks. The rum was your idea like this concoction you brought this evening. I only like the brandy myself, and that is the answer to your question.

([Phil:] “May I ask a question? I met two men this week; one in the library who I felt a strong attraction for, an older man of sixty; and another one who I was greatly upset by who I met this Saturday.”)

The man who upset you was much closer to you at one time than the man you were attracted to.

He was a dear and loyal friend in another life, and you felt that he betrayed you, but he did not.

([Gert:] “Was this friend that agitated him a priest?”)

He was not a priest in a past life, he was a sailor. A gob.

([Janice:] “I wasn’t really aware that I was hollering at myself. It’s just that I...”)
