Now: Give us a moment … We are speaking quietly to keep Ruburt in a particular state — but (humorously, leaning forward), we will not whisper.

Ruburt has at times been able to throw his consciousness into small physical instruments (computer components, for instance), and to perceive their inner activity at the level of, say, electrons. Given time, in your terms, a knowledge of the structure of so-called particles could be quite as clearly understood by using such techniques. Now, however, your terms would not match. Yet your terms are precisely what imprison you, and lead you to the “wrong” kinds of questions.

(With amusement:) The wrong kinds of questions are the right ones for you, however, in your civilization and with your beliefs, because you want to stay within that structure to that extent. Only now are you beginning to question your methods, and even your questions.⁵ The true physicist would be able to ask his questions from his usual state of consciousness, and then turn that consciousness in other directions where he himself would be led into adventures-with-reality, in which the questions would themselves be changed. And then the answers would be felt.

Now: Even in your terms of history and serial time, as a race you have tried various methods of dealing with the physical world.⁶ In this latest venture you are discovering that exterior manipulation is not enough, that technology alone is not “the answer.” Please understand me: There is nothing wrong with a loving technology.

Now it’s suspected that, in many cases at least, some of the fundamental laws of nature aren’t directly available to us — that often our world presents to us only an approximate representation of its basic qualities. Science needs new theories to unify as many of the four forces of nature (gravity, electromagnetism, and the atomic “strong” and “weak” forces) as possible, instead of separating them as in the past. We are now told that simplicity is the thing.
