25 Now, imagine that this is a very popular scroll, and it is read thousands and thousands of times. Slowly, these thoughts in The Spirit World take on an almost real existence. They become so solid that sometimes people in The Spirit World can even see them. But they are still unreal. They do not really exist. They are trapped in the never-ending cycle of the story, over and over again. They do the same things they did before, and they can never step out of that circle because they only exist within it.
26 When you use your powers, you must be careful. Sometimes you might accidently slip into this unreal world, and think that what you are seeing is real.
27 Always be sure to question someone you see. If they can answer your questions, they are real. But if they just continue to speak, they are most likely part of this Unreal World."
28 "Lord," asked Red Fox, "what if the story is about someone that was real? Would people reading about them make an unreal person in this unreal world?"
29 "No," The Old Fox answered. "Say it is a story about a great warrior who does brave and wondrous things for his people. Now when someone reads about this great person and feels good thoughts about him, those thoughts go into The Spirit World and reach that person, and make him strong. The reverse is also true. When one reads about an evil-doer, and is angry about the evil they do, that thought also reaches the evil-doer.
30 Now, that is enough! Close your eyes. Everyone relax and we will break the circle, but we will take with us what we have learned. Again, let us take a walk. Contemplate on what we have learned, and return to discuss it. Then we will have our evening meal, worship, and go to our beds."
