Abstract
We explain how the kind of ``parallel transport'' of a wavefunction used in discussing the Berry or Geometrical phase induces the conventional parallel transport of certain real vectors. These real vectors are associated with operators whose commutators yield diagonal operators; or in Lie algebras those operators whose commutators are in the (diagonal) Cartan subalgebra.
