Record: unknown. How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here. Unknown is not an assurance of a stenogram: check the edition's own notes before resting an argument on one word.

Therefore, let us imagine [The second drawing was developed.], that within cloud-formations [white], looking outward from the earth [small arrows], the rainbow would be here [red in the cloud-formations]. So far, we have imagined the Guardian Teaching us to press on through that rainbow and from the vantage point [struck through the cloud-formation up to a small circle, on which the word “vantage point” was written] of the other side to look back, there from the wide reaches of the world, from there to look back at the rainbow.
