(Here she had gone into an extended trance state that lasted, for all purposes, for the rest of the evening.

(To Rob:) We will begin with an explanation of your experience last evening. And our record-keeper over here (me) will also understand what you are doing.

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.

Now, the energy here last night was strong enough so that it could be picked up very easily, but you perceived its approach. Do you follow me? Before it was here, in your terms, you were aware of its approach and began to prepare yourself to perceive it in whatever fashion you could.

Now, the energy that was here last night became suspended for a time between the two apartments so that there was a give-and-take. Had you been even more aware, for example, it would have been fairly easy for you to perceive more than you did, and you could have done it through sketching. You could have brought out forms that were here beneath your visual perception.

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.

(“Can we digress a moment here?” Rob asked.)

There will be no doubt if they trust their inner reactions. You first have to be aware that the group exists. Now, what about our friend over here (me)?

And now, I bid you a fond good evening, not worried about your fingers (Rob), but our friend’s over here (me). We will have to send her additional energy. She will doubtlessly have some experiences on her own as she types it out, however, to compensate. I look out for her.
