One of the hardest things in the World is to accept, as you approach the +C†I~ point on the Outer Circle, that even if you do everything correctly, you are going to be sent back* into that World from which you thought you had escaped, to do what you are told to do to the best of your limited ability. It is so nice to think that you are about to achieve all there is to achieve: but self-examination suggests otherwise.

So where is my fundamentalist friend? Who has entered his life? The answer** – I think, but do not know – is Raphael,*** the affable Angel, the Companion of pilgrims, **** Christ seen still from the Outer Circle: “Do not be afraid; peace be with you. Bless God for ever.”#

*{Somewhere in one of the 2 books he leant/gave [to] me, is an intriguing reference to a Christian clergyman apparently saying something similar: that when you have found or come to Christ you have to turn away again. (My recollection may be inaccurate.)}

**I am not now happy with this. <900916>

***(Remember that these are only names.) <880315>

****(This seems an arrogant presumption) <880321>

[Presumably, the arrogance is in the presumption that that is where the fundamentalist friend was.]
