(To Sally.) What Ruburt was tuning into earlier was a 17th-century existence of yours in which you were also a woman. He saw you coming down a staircase wearing a gown, a ball gown, in Versailles. Now the name was like the name of a well-known philosopher, Teljard. The first name was Naneen. The years 1721 to ‘58. Your husband was what amounts now to a Colonel in the 14th Regiment then stationed within that city. You had two children, one now your present sister. She, at that time, was an actress, however, a profession for which you then did not have the least understanding and showed little compassion for her efforts. At that time she died an unfortunate death. You had nothing to do with the death, however, you felt guilty about the circumstances for she did not do well in her profession and died, indeed, of starvation in another town never having told her family where she was. She died in Bordeaux.

[...] To the contrary, he does not have to see me as a white-gowned spirit. [...]

The distortions referred to, represent those occurring in the dream and in the psychological time experiences, particularly in today’s experience in which Ruburt saw the white-gowned hospital personnel.

I can imagine a lovely scene where bodiless individuals, spiritual psychologists and I, sit in a dark room all dressed in gowns at another level of reality, and they ask me what is wrong with me and I say—I am obsessed. [...]

Your physical time of seasons and tides, and night and day, is to me one of your most delightful camouflages, and if Ruburt will excuse my clumsy attempt at being poetical, I will say that physical time is like a delightful flowing gown that clothes psychological time with many different colors and materials and designs. [...]

[...] Other people passed, all dressed in delightful long flowing trousers and gowns of indescribable colors. [...]
