Now words belong to your particular time system. Without it, they are not needed. Therefore communication is dependent upon your time system. The inner self however is not so limited, as you know, and inner communications continue always beneath words. Word structures and language itself bears a unique mathematical precision. The placement of emphasis, the vowels and consonants, the length of time to utter them, all of these issues are intimately connected with your own nervous systems, and with the intervals inherent within your time system, between thought and action.

You are beginning to perceive the holes in the camouflage, for I have pointed them out to you. They are doorways into inner realities, and other realities, as are these sessions. Those who have survived physical death in your terms, must use words in their communications, for you do not understand wordless communications. They themselves are far freer, however.

We should perhaps differentiate between thoughtwords and speech, or spoken words. Thoughtwords are used by many for some interval. I am speaking of those who have survived death in your terms. They do not need the spoken word. Even thought communication however need not necessarily follow the form of words. There can be thought without words (smile),in other words.

For simplicity’s sake, let us say that there is a process of change. Those alive in your terms rely at least outwardly on the spoken word. Those who have left and survive, use thoughtwords but do not need to speak, though they may (underlined). As proficiency grows and as the inner senses are more fully used, the necessity for even thoughtwords vanishes.

The letter itself represents therefore an advancement and an act of faith. This is partially the result of our little conversation, of which he has the barest memory. In other words many of those conditions causing the symptoms are beginning to disintegrate.

(The oil head in question sits in my studio, still unfinished and has been seen by Jane often. One note of interest; technically speaking the oil colors I use contain no color named sepia, specifically, though, of course, a range of earth reds and browns are included. Sepia is a brown. The specific word sepia is more often attached to watercolors, as far as I know, than to oils. Jane also has used both watercolor and oil, as I have; and my watercolors do contain sepia.
