HOW MANY LEVELS THERE ARE IN THE SONGS OF KATE? (Sphinx questions) I have discovered 3 different levels. It's possible there are more. The first one, - the most obvious level - is basically EXTERNAL, this is, it is based in facts external to Kate, although "dressed", so as to say, with her fantasy. The second level, instead, is PERSONAL. It deals with some personal experiences of her, NEVER in a TOO explicit way, often in a disguised way, specially when she referes to both people and places linked more o less intimately with her. The third level is difficult to label. The words that would describe it are currently very degradated. They are lost its original meaning. In this level she transmits fragments of a very, VERY old knowledge. A case in point: "And Dream Of Sheep". - First level: The tale already explained for Kate in some interviews. - Second level: Concealed in a very clever way by means of "Lawful inexactitudes" and also through this short of message by radio recorded in a very low volume, in sentences such as "come to Elliott Institute". - Third level: Contained in words such as "sheep", "sleep", "poppies", "seed", etcetera. And in sentences such as "...they smell like sleep". The levels are interlaced. The very same word or sentence may have a meaning in a level and another one in a different level. TO BE CONTINUED
