Sounds obviously existed before language. There is a pattern of sound beneath all languages, a bed of vocal communication that lies behind all language and alphabet. The vocal sounds of the Sumari language and characteristics as they are presently apparent to you will, hopefully, lead toward these clearly understood but logically unstructured sounds that are recognized by the organism and by the inner self, but ignored by the reasoning conscious mind that focuses upon the logical language.

I will be here to see that this is put to practical use also, translated into terms that can be understood, and provide a firm basis from which you can further explore the nature of such ancient perceptions. Again, the two of you are well-suited for this endeavor. Your interest in painting and your abilities do not only spring from the Denmark life, for example, but also arose out of your quite legitimate life as Nebene, when you were focused upon the visual symbols and their correct inscription. The slightest error in copying a symbol could change its meaning completely, hence your concern over details, and hence now your great trust in objective painting, and your occasional distrust of work that seems to come too easily.

You were, as Nebene, extremely stern with your students, concerned that they not fall into carelessness. You were focused upon the transmission of knowledge. In the Denmark life the love of the visual was still with you, but you were trying to allow yourself greater freedom with it, to feel the freedom of adding to what you saw, but you felt a great reluctance to do so. It is for that reason that you gave up painting in that life.

(9:50.) The memory of the old symbols is within you, but not until you were free enough to make them your own could they return. You did help transmit the information also in highly stylized drawings, and to a much lesser extent through highly stylized voice patterns that were taught to students.

Your physical reality does also exist in the media of sound, not as the end product of the world’s noises. But matter is again only one manifestation, one you happen to recognize, of reality. The world is built up in other terms of atoms and molecules.

The same applies however to light, for the atoms and molecules also exist as patterns of light that are unperceived by you. (Pause at 10:37.) Give us time here. At a certain point sound becomes visual, and light becomes sound. They are wedded then, but at other points the correlation is not at all obvious. It is always there. At one level sounds then can be theoretically perceived as light. Vowels and syllables exist as light as validly as they exist as sound.

(11:04. Jane’s trance had been good, her pace good also. I was really bleary. I could tell that Seth had expected me to ask for the break and then continue the session. I wanted to, but decided not to at the last moment.)
