Ruburt’s physical condition was the result of nature impeded. You cannot really know your neighbor’s subjective reality. Some people throughout their lives merge the two Frameworks unconsciously in a childlike manner. Others begin early to concentrate in Framework 1, so that Framework 2 goes more and more out of focus. Because you are natural, however, your existence is couched in Framework 2, and to some extent you are even saved at times from your own beliefs because additional insights or solutions are directly inserted into your mind in the dream state, or in other moments of the day.

Give us a moment.... Very briefly now, for this will be a short session. In your terms of history, man appeared in several different stages, or ages is a better word. Not from an animal ancestor in the way generally supposed. There were men-animals, but they were not your stock. They did not lead to anything. They were species in their own right.

(10:06.) Give us a moment.... There was some rivalry between these groups, some cooperation. Several species, say, of modern man died out. There was some mating between these groups—that is, of all of the groups—at various times.

The brain capacities of your particular species were always the same. Give us a moment.... (Long pause.) Many of the man-animal groups had their own communities. They might seem limited to you, yet they combined animal and human characteristics beautifully, and they used tools quite well. In a manner of speaking they had the earth to themselves for many centuries, in that modern man did not compete with them.

Give us a moment.... There were then also animal-man and man-animal civilizations of their kinds, and there were complete civilizations of modern man, existing before the ages now given for, say, the birth of writing. (3100 BC.)
