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."
