Two things were involved: a certain evolution of your abilities, using the eye phenomena. Do you follow me?

And secondly, of course, what you experienced. You were not picking up anything regarding Ruburt’s father, as you thought. Instead you were indeed perceiving in your own fashion what was happening here for the entire evening. You are well aware of any changes that occur as far as Ruburt’s own abilities are concerned, or any offshoots, say, from our sessions or work; and so though you were not here physically, you did indeed participate.

The time makes little difference. Earlier, you were beginning to put yourself in that frame of mind, and physiological state, which would bring about the particular changes that bring you to the eye method. This time, however, you were aware of what you were trying to do: you were trying to use your ability in a particular fashion and so you did. You were dealing with an energy source, and it was this that you were trying to perceive, and the reason for the brilliance and also the concentrated area with which you were dealing; not an expansion, but a small concentrated brilliant area.

I want to make a point to you, however: you can imaginatively receive data now without the eye involvement. In the past, in your very earlier years, you needed that mechanism. It caught your attention. It pivoted it and made you concentrate. Now, you see, that you recognize the connection, you will not need it. It leads, however, to a strong pivoting of your energy. You are concentrating your own perceptive abilities and energy almost in the same fashion, for example, as a laser beam concentrates energy. Do you follow me? So that the vision that you received, while it was microscopic, was still brilliant, and radiated strong energy.

In their strong psychic alliance and in their coordination abilities, and the agility with which—the agility with which—they can manipulate between systems, consciously, with purpose, and with some exuberance. They are communicators in that they spread knowledge from one system of reality to another. They are given much more, for example, to ideas rather than to the various camouflage realities within systems. Many groups, you see, deal exclusively with the camouflage reality between systems, with building it up, with its maintenance.

Now, there are some things that I will have to explain to you slowly. And the true answer to your question will take time. One Sumari is all Sumari. There are gradations, in those terms, within the Sumari alliances; therefore, everyone is not at the same level, if you follow me: it is an organization of affection, loyalty, and abilities; and there will be varying grades within their alliance. Now, everyone who was here last night was Sumari, and many who come to class, even for one time, are Sumari.
