*It is the old problem of letting visual symbols become ‘reality’. I have been bothered** for some time by the idea of limitation of the Spiritual Kingdom to the inside of a sphere….*** It should be stated here and now and forever that the Circles DO NOT EXIST. What they represent may well exist, of course, and the Circles may be the best symbol or model I can come up with. And in theory, in the end all existence comes to One. Nevertheless, symbols and models MUST NOT be confused with Reality.

Inner experience exists, and is a direct manifestation of Reality, even though it may be clothed in the forms we give it (including symbolic forms) and in theory also will be wrapped up into the One. The young girl I was aware of,**** and from time to time still am – but computer intervenes – may not exist physically, but she certainly exists as an experience of vision and quality. But my suggestions as to what she is are, of course, only guesses.

Interestingly, – God, this does go on! – I wasn’t aware of her at all while writing the aberration:# but I am now.

[W] – who is in here now working on the computer – reveals to me that it is my father’s birthday, and suggests that that is why my writing went wrong. The old bugger probably wished [‘]confusion on my eldest son[’]#*, when he cut his birthday cake (actually I doubt if he had one).

**It’s interesting to see how more and more bothered I was getting while writing [[Redbook5:313][19880818:1145n]{Spherical Orientation [continued (14)]}[18th August 1988] – [Redbook5:319][19880818:1810h]{Spherical Orientation [continued (25)]}[18th August 1988]] pp313-319

***rather a mediaeval concept.

It was entrancing: I saw it as a giant film set, with Spirits passing up and down, and a kind of Mediaeval or ?Renaissance pattern of wings spiralling round the edge of the Dome…. I should have realised.
