(I saw the reddish rims of these eyes, and their black lashes with the utmost clarity. The skin about them was a light brown. At the fringes of my field of vision I saw that the face containing these magnificent eyes was quite hairy, covered by long black shining hair almost as though I was visualizing a throwback to more primitive man. But there was no sense of primitiveness here; these limpid brown eyes regarded me impassively; there was no intrinsic threat. These eyes merely stared back at me from beneath heavy black brows.

Now. The portion of the image that came closest to any semblance of reality was the region about the eyes, and the eyes themselves. There is much to be said here. For this was not imaginary, in that it did have a certain physical reality that existed within your field of reference.

Because his range was so large, your dissociated conditions simply met more easily than otherwise. However, once his attention was centered here, he turned his conscious attention to full focus upon what he perceived. Nor did he perceive your physical form as you know it. But he picked up fully your emotional recognition and fear, and these were translated or perceived by him in his own fashion, so that to him you appeared as a mass of varying colors, and as movement of severe intensity.

It will be most difficult to convince others of the reality of other systems beside their own, yet none of this must be taken upon my say-so alone. For once the knowledge is available, others will become aware of their own experiences, and you see here how the conscious self becomes educated and enriched; for the knowledge becomes part of consciousness. In the past the same experience would have remained only in the subconscious, and you have had other such experiences.

There are brain formations, not materialized in physical form. Sensations are perceptions; emotions perceived in terms of color, and directly in terms of intensities. There is no direct relation here to your own system at all, except of course that all systems are ultimately connected. The inverted time system results in a different sequence of experience than that with which you are acquainted.

Some guests at his office earlier, in the nature of nuisances. A connection here with Ticonderoga. Perhaps one of the visitors was from there. I do not know, but this has application connected with his office today. (Pause.)

(Jane, her eyes still closed, gestured here as though to make this point clear.)

A connection with dark hill shapes. A distant location, also connected here.

(“A dark or darkish brown coat, the color of some uniforms,” is a reference to a sports coat of corduroy that Jane bought me for Christmas; this is indicated by the Penny’s sales slip for December 18. The coat is a close approximation of the color of the winter topcoat for the everyday U.S. Marine uniform. The Marine connection here will be apparent shortly.

Incidents of this nature may seem trivial. However patterns of behavior are extremely important, and such focus upon disturbances are directly opposed to all I have been trying to tell you. And I am speaking here only of one individual, but such reactions are also picked up by others on a subconscious basis, and the circle can be a vicious one.
