First, the dream. Ruburt saw you and he standing in the middle of an infinite plain of sand. The sands were marked with names and messages. To the left and to the right there were mountains of sand. To the left he saw people approaching the sands upon which he stood. To the right people were leaving the plains of sand, yet the plain itself was empty, filled only with the messages that were written there.

Two things in the dream held him back: a gigantic nostalgia for the writings in the sand that had remained for so long, the jottings of children—and for a moment he did not want to be part of anything that would wipe them out. He wondered aloud in the dream whether or not you and he should really be there: what credentials you had that would give you the right to make new footprints.

Now the plain was empty. The people coming in from the left represented later generations, in your terms, who had not yet arrived at the plain. The people to the right were those who had already passed beyond it. The plain was empty because it was the repository of ideas. The ideas had been put there by those who had already left.

Now. There is also a symbolism here with the parting of the waters, a silence and abeyance, a hush. He sees you standing in the middle. See now the empty plain, as a scooped-out and hollow place from which the water has fled. The sand mountains to the left and right.

Now give us a moment. (Long pause at 10:28.) You are to a large extent outside of the context. You did not come from the direction that the others came, nor will you continue. You were at right angles you see between the two groups of people.

Now. In other terms and on another level Ruburt felt that symbolically at least he was between birth and death, that egotistically speaking the way of darkness had been parted; and in these terms the mountain to the left represented death, from which he had come, and birth, for he emerged through birth from death; and the mountain to the right represented the death that in your terms has not yet come.

It reacts strongly to your ideas and to its father’s telepathically, and so its inner perception of this room, say, is highly colored by your ideas of it. It then mentally perceives the room, right now, more or less as a combination of those ideas you have individually of it. (Pause.)
