The problem might be in my mind. :)
If I could suggest an answer, though i would like to hear T's as well... I believe by offering Jake as a sacrifice, Walter was bound to palaver with Roland and show him the vision he shows him. Had he not dropped Jake, he'd never had had the palaver and may not have been imbued with the power to draw, or at least not the knowledge of it.
Walter's help *BIG spoilers*
Dear Reader!
Be Careful.
This thread might contain spoilers.
So...
did Walter give any important information to Roland during their little palaver?
And if he did... why the blue hell did he help him? Weren't they enemies?
Sometimes I feel the whole Man in Balck stuff was a big humbug a trap Roland didn't see. I think he shouldn't have chosen Walter, he should have saved Jake.
He would have found his way to the doors anyway.
