Relating

[Me:] Rita? The world – that is, all-D, 3D and non-3D both — from TGU’s point of view?

[Rita:] The object of this second run is to give the same facts a second look from somewhat the opposite perspective. So in a way there will be nothing new, but in a way it will all be different.

It reminds me, what you’re saying here, of how the Indians and the plainsmen kept themselves oriented. Every so often they would look back, to see what the country they were traversing looked like from the other direction, so it would be recognizable.

They were giving themselves perspective, orienting themselves in a 360-degree rather than a 180-degree fashion, you might say. Yes, that’s what we’re doing here. Any exploration can be describe going forward, or going back over the ground, but it is more orienting to do it both ways if possible, and an aerial view would be so much the better. Bear in mind, then, our intent is not to describe something no one has ever seen before; it is to describe relationship between things seen and not so well understood. That includes anything you and I ever discussed, whether I was in or out of body.

We have already sketched life in 3D and non-3D from the point of view of the 3D-bound individual. Now we are looking at the same reality from the point of view of the non-3D-bound individual – not, exactly, your own non-3D component (though that is part of it) but the dweller in these parts not particularly bound by a tie to 3D, the non-3D neighborhood as it appears to each other. The logic of our lives once the intense 3D focus is no longer out-glaring subtler lights. Our center of gravity firmly placed here, not tugged at from 3D. You remember, I asked once how TGU spent their time, and they said, “we relate.”

I remember they said, “You might think of us as teachers, but what if we said we were roofers?” Meaning, the nature of their occupations couldn’t be easily related to us because we would find it hard not to force any explanation into 3D terms.

And one way of looking at events would say that that interchange was for the purpose of establishing this conceptual link between us, I being on both sides of that questioning and therefore being uniquely able to understand the needs of the questioner and the constraints on the responder – and you being able to establish or hold the continuity. So, we’re setting out to answer the question left open – what does it mean, “we relate”?
