{A Dream: The Unfinished Cathedral [continued]: Circles}[13th August 1982]

[Redbook2:241-242][19820813:1945a]{A Dream: The Unfinished Cathedral [continued]: Circles}[13th August 1982]

So what does it* all mean?

On the whole I think I have until recently avoided writing about this system in this book, and deliberately; but the thing seems to have turned out too deeply-rising for that distinction.

The crucial question is: why primary colours? If my memory of the order of colours is accurate, their direction signifies the inner circle; but the colours should then have been gold and silver-blue, not as in the Dream that brilliant, indeed emphasised, bright red and bright and darkish blue. They were emphasised, so that they stood out against the tones of the rest of the Dream. I have certainly believed that some people could follow the Outer Circle in its reverse direction, that is in the direction of the Inner Circle, perhaps under the influence of others on the Inner Circle: such people might engage on [sic] activities of the Outer Circle and World, but in a manner guided by the Inner Circle, more particularly perhaps by their position relative to the Inner Circle. Their circuit might be preparatory to a circuit in the same direction on the Inner Circle, which may be what the companions from whom I was called away would have begun at the white Altar. (This, of course, assumes that the directional relationship is what matters: the actual direction perceived depending upon the point of view.)

But if this is all so, where did the Dream leave me?
