"Meanings are different in the other world. Indirection is the only way in which the dead can speak at all; that is, the only way we can understand what they are telling because they aren't actually embodied, say with pharynx, lips, tongue. They don't have a brain or language center. As you know, they left those accoutrements behind, dust to dust. They must rely on telepathy and mutual intention, yours and theirs. They are broadcasting ... They push letters of a sacred alphabet through blankets of radiation and infinitudes. Now and then they may displace objects on bureaus, but not many and not very far. Attend to what they push and ask yourself why. Query it as you would a symbol in a dream."
Richard Grossinger - The Bardo of Waking Life
