the first rumbling of flashes from another world to seep through. It would be several weeks before we could discover the meaning ofthis wanes wed ee en fo ne ey ey ns DES scene and the reason for his reluctance to explore it. In subsequent sessions he seemed to be drawn to the German life even though there were feelings of bitterness there. He felt a great deal of emotion stirred by these memories. There were vivid feelings of anger, frustration and unhappiness. He wanted to let these out very badly while in trance but he was afraid of offending me if he showed emotion. He admitted he had great difficulty dealing with emotion in his present life also. He felt compelled to keep it inside. He would not even allow his family to see his feelings.

I sensed it was somehow associated with the various scenes of the jagged horizon and the strange city. We were building trust and rapport and I continued to have ses- sions with Phil in addition to the others Iwas working with. His answers were becoming more spontaneous and because of these odd scenes I thought something might possibly emerge that would be worth exploring. They had certainly aroused my curiosity. Little did I know what adventures lay in wait for us. 8 _ The Keepers of the Garden
