I, Thicandor, have asked you to [[commune]] with me because your teacher [[Will]] is away on another [[mission]], temporarily. I [[thank]] you for your [[attention]], particularly your [[reception]] and retention of my message in your half-[[dreaming]] state. I see now that it was useful to [[share]] [[names]], for that is why it worked. Ordinarily, our work is done in such a [[dreaming]] or half-dreaming state, and the [[mortal]] receiver either over-attributes the result or [[ignores]] it as [[random]] [[brain]] [[activity]]. | I, Thicandor, have asked you to [[commune]] with me because your teacher [[Will]] is away on another [[mission]], temporarily.
