“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now this is a sort of psychological understanding and intuitional insight that is beyond words. You cannot explain verbally what you feel. Now I have written the material, using rather crafty methods, in that there are keys within the material, within the words, that I have chosen that open up intuitions if you allow them to. Certain words that I have used, in other words, are like gateways, and if you are receptive as you read the words you will enter the gateways, and the gateways will lead you to your own intuitional understanding.

Now this is why you cannot explain to our Lady of Florence the nature of time, because she has closed off her feeling in this particular line. Now you cannot verbalize what I am or what happens in this room, but then, you cannot verbalize what you are or what happens within yourself or within your mind. And there are journeys that each of you embark upon, and you do not know in words the nature of the destination, and you do not know when you arrive at this destination, and you do not know when the destination is no longer a destination but a way.

Now we use words because you deal with them. You deal with the words physically but your inner self has no need of verbalization. What each of you experience as you listen to me cannot be expressed in words, and what each of you feel of yourselves when you are alone and when you are with others, cannot be put into words. You know but you cannot find the words.

Now what I tell you, to some extent, must be distorted because when I speak I use words, but the inner self interprets the words that are spoken. You do not need the words. You do not need me to sit here and speak to you but physically you think that you do and so I am here. Physically you believe that you are here and so you are here but other portions of your identity are in other places and other times, and I use those terms very loosely. They are only to make you happy because the words, times and places, have a meaning to you but in your basic reality you do not know times nor places.

Each of you now as you sit before the image that you call Jane Butts or Ruburt, each of you now are, indeed, as ghostly as you may think that I am for you form your own physical image about you and you pretend it is your real self. You are, in other words, apparitions and in a gigantic mass hallucination you all agree upon the people that you see, and you all pretend that you are the selves that you see but you are far more than this.

(After break, Seth:) Now, the time has come for some of you, and I have said this before, to go beyond kindergarten class so that we can sneak in a third-grade lesson now and then and that is what we have been doing. What our friend, the Dean (Theodore) here said, does indeed apply and also I acted as a translator. Such messages will be given in slightly different terms. They will often be devoid of the comfortable images that you all know. They are, therefore, less distorted. You like the word warm-blooded, but where do you think your emotional abilities come from. They come from realities that you, as yet, cannot understand and you would not comprehend them and so they must be translated.
