Session 736

Unknown Reality, Session 736

Generally, the Sumari have the capacity to reach out emotionally to others and empathize.  To some extent this feeling for humanity often serves as an impetus for creative work.  Many of them also have a mystical sense of connection with nature.  At the same time, they can be relative isolationists, wanting to work in solitude.

Various kinds of seemingly contradictory characteristics may appear, then.  One Sumari may have many deeply rewarding personal relationships.  Another might find friends a distraction.  One Sumari might enjoy performing in front of an audience, while another might not even be able to bear the thought.  Since each person is unique, the various Sumari characteristics will then appear quite differently.  Some live in cities, basking in the emotional nearness of others, content with a few flowerpots for a reminder of nature’s beauty.  Another might have a farm.  In most cases, however, the slant of consciousness is primarily creative.

I am not, again, going into detail about the other families, but I will briefly discuss them because counterparts will generally belong to the same family.

The first family that I mentioned (Gramada), for example, specializes in organization.  Sometimes its members follow immediately after a revolutionary social change.  Their organizational tendencies are expressed in any area of life, however.  They are behind art schools, for instance, though they may not be artists themselves.  They may set up colleges, although they may or may not be scholars.

The founders of giant businesses often belong to this family, as do some politicians and statesmen.  They are active, vital, and creatively aggressive.  They know how to put other people’s ideas together.  They often unite conflicting schools of thought into a more or less unifying structure.  They are, then, often the founders of social systems.  In most cases, for instances, your hospitals, schools, and religions as organizations, are initiated by and frequently maintained by this group.

These people (the Gramada) have excellent abilities in putting together solitary concepts that might otherwise go by the wayside.  They are organizers of energy, directed toward effective social structures.  They usually set up fairly stable, fairly reasonable governments, schools, fraternities, although they do not initiate the ideas behind those structures.

The next group (Sumafi) deals primarily with teaching.  Again, the relationship with others is good, generally speaking.  They may be gifted in any field, but their primary interest will be in passing on their knowledge or that of others.  They are usually traditionalists, therefore, although they may be brilliant.  In a way they are equally related to the family just mentioned (Gramada), and to the Sumari, for they stand between the organized system and the creative artist.  They transmit “originality” without altering it, however, through the social structures.

I say that they (the Sumafi) do not alter the originality.  Of course any interpretation of an event alters it, but generally they teach the disciplines while not creatively changing the content.  As historians, for example, they pass down the dates of battles, and those dates are considered almost as immaculate facts, so that in the context of their training they see no point in questioning the validity of such information.

In the Middle Ages they faithfully copied manuscripts.  They are custodians in a way.  Again, there are infinite variations.  Many music or art teachers belong in that category, where the arts are taught with a love of excellence, a stress upon technique – into which the artist, who is often a Sumari (although not always, by any means) can put his or her creativity.

The next family (Tumold), in the order given, is primarily devoted to healing.  This does not mean that these people may not be creative, or organizers, or teachers, but the primary slant of their consciousness will be directed to healing.  You might find them as doctors and nurses, while not usually as hospital administrators.  However, they may be psychics, social workers, psychologists, artists, or in the religions.  They may work in flower shops.  They may work in assembly lines, for that matter, but if so they will be healers by intent or temperament.

I mention various professions or occupations to give clear examples, but a garage man may belong to this (Tumold) group, or to any group.  In this case the garage man would have a healing effect on the customers, and he would be fixing more than cars.

The healers might also appear as politicians, however, psychically healing the wounds of the nation.  An artist of any kind, whose work is primarily meant to help, also belongs in this category.  You will find some heads of state, and – particularly in the past – some members of royal families who also belong to this group.

Those in the next group (Vold), are primarily reformers.  They have excellent precognitive abilities, which of course means that at least unconsciously they understand the motion of probabilities.  They can work in any field.  In your terms it is as if they perceive the future motion or direction of an idea, a concept, or a structure.  They then work with all of their minds to bring that probability into physical reality.

In conventional terms they may appear to be great activists and revolutionaries, or they may seem to be impractical dreamers.  They will be possessed by an idea of change and alteration, and will feel, at least, driven or compelled to make that idea a reality.  They perform a very creative service as a rule, for social and political organizations can often become stagnant, and no longer serve the purposes of the large masses of people involved.  Members of this (Vold) family may also initiate religious revolutions, of course.  As a rule, however, they have one purpose in mind: to change the status quo in whatever the area of primary interest.

It is already easy to see how the purposes of these various families can intermesh, complement each other, and also conflict.  Yet all in all, almost, they operate as systems of creative checks and balances.

The next family (Milumet) is composed of mystics.

Almost all of their energy is directed in an inward fashion, with no regard as to whether or not inner experience is translated in usual terms.  These persons, for instance, may be utterly unknown, and usually are, for as a rule they care not a bit about explaining their interior activities to others – nor, for that matter, even to themselves.  They are true innocents, and spiritual.  They may be underdeveloped intellectually, by recognized standards, but this is simply because they do not direct their intellect to physical focus.

Those belonging to this (Milumet) family will not be in positions of authority, generally speaking, for they will not concentrate that long on specific physical data.  However, they may be found in your country precisely where you might not expect them to be: on some assembly lines that require simple repetitive action – in factories that do not require speed, however.  They usually choose less industrialized countries, then, with a slower pace of life.  They have simple, direct, childish mannerisms, and may appear to be stupid.  They do not bother with the conventions.

Strangely enough, though, they may be excellent parents, particularly in less complicated societies than your own.  In your terms, they are primitives wherever they appear.  Yet they are deeply involved in nature, and in that respect they are more highly attuned psychically than most other people.

Their private experiences are often of a most venturesome kind, and at that level they help nourish the psyche of mankind.

The next group (Zuli) is involved mainly with the fulfillment of bodily activity.  These are the athletes.  In whatever field, they devote themselves to perfecting the capacities of the body, which in others usually lie latent.

To some extent they serve as physical models.  The vitality of creaturehood is demonstrated through the beauty, speed, elegance, and performance of the body itself.  To some extent the people are perfectionists, and in their activities there are always hints of “super” achievement, as if even physically the species tries to go beyond itself.  The members of this family actually serve to point out the unrealized capacity of the flesh – even as, for example, great Sumari artists might give clues as to the artistic abilities inherent, but no used, in the species as a whole.  The members of this group deal, then, in performance.  They are physical doers.  They are also lovers of beauty as it is corporally expressed.

Member of this (Zuli) family can often serve as models for the artist or the writer, but generally speaking they themselves transmit their energy through physical “arts” and performance.  In your terms only, and historically speaking, they often appeared at the beginnings of civilizations, where direct physical bodily manipulation within the environment was of supreme importance.  Then, normal physical reactions were simply faster than they are now, even while normal body relaxation was deeper and more complete.
