speed, time, distance, and gravity. If you had not, you couldn‘t function.
You‘d probably be dead. Correct?"
"Yes."
"You have also agreed how to perceive mankind‘s behaviours—let‘s
call them the consensus assumptions of good and bad in our culture. If you
had not, you‘d be in prison. Correct?"
"Still with you."
"Conformation to our culture‘s ways, and the root assumptions that
allow for the perception of a three dimensional reality, create the apparent
continuity of our entire existence. The continuity of physical reality is
literally assembled by our perceptions. The method through which we
assess the experiences we perceive is called reason, but as you know from
your clarity lessons there is only the assumption of continuity. Reason is
full of gaffs and gaps, as is our perception of physicality, but self- image
and root assumptions fill them. Correct?"
"Absolutely," I said, unable to contain my grin.
"You‘re so full of shit," she said, shaking her head. "How long ago
did you see the big picture this time?"
"Not that long: so what‘s the difference between reason and how a
Stalker sees things?"
Chuckling at her own seriousness, she said, "Stalkers have broken
their bonds to the conformities of reason. They understand, but have no
attachment to the rules the average person uses to maintain their
perception of continuity, because they can figuratively and literally see
beyond what they were told to perceive, including what lies in the gaps of
reasoning and physical perception. The idea that everything is a metaphor
is a root assumption to them—they can see energy and think in terms of
essences, so what they should believe has no relevance. They don‘t
believe anything. They either know or they don‘t know, which is totally
foreign to reason."
"All of this is really crap to them?" I waved my arm listlessly.
"What they have experienced in this environment was key to their
development," she said with a strained look. "This," she waved her arm,
"is alive and developing in its own ways, and Stalkers revere it as the
crown jewel of their physical development." She resettled in the chair.
"When I said you should act as if you don‘t understand your true nature,
the nature of the events you experience, or the world et al, I was not
passing judgement on your education or intelligence. I was speaking
literally." She raised her hands in a =this is simple‘ gesture, and said, "It is
reasonable people who have taken a beautiful creation and twisted it into a
place of endless wars and virulent diseases, where the abuse of the weak
