“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are all in at the start of something, and surely you do not want it all explained for you and written out in black and white. Save the discoveries for yourselves. I do not want to cheat you of them. I am interested as to how you will use your new Sumari experience, and how you will interpret, and how well you can read between the lines and within the words. And I will give you some clues out of the great goodness of my heart.

It is true that the Sumari do not communicate verbally, and yet so far you have been given what seems to be the rudiments of a language and why? You will know, but it is much more fun if you figure it out for yourselves. You are also being introduced, or you will be introduced, to some different kinds of concepts and to some different kinds of communication, so be on your toes. There should also be communications in one way or another in the dream state.

Now if you were not the Sumari you would not be here at this particular time, and if all of you did not know what it was to be Sumari you would not be here at all. You have been given a language it seems that is not a language. And since you have been given it there is a reason for it, and what earthly good is a language that is not a language? An ancient language that never was and within those paradoxes what meanings are there for you to learn? Now I have—I’ve always been Sumari. I am a tough old Sumari. I am a Sumari of the old school. A Tumali of the old school. And what is there about a language that has both beginnings and endings in it as you think of them, elements of a distant past and portents of what perhaps languages might be in your future? And why do you need a language beside the one that you have? And you need not worry, you will not have to learn declensions. I would not have you stew over that with all of your other problems (to Bette).

Now all of you to some extent in your dream work keep records, and as such you are dealing with language as you know it, and you are interpreting your experience in terms of a mundane language that is as much a deception as it is a reflection of your feelings and experiences, for you cannot find words within your language to express your own feelings and experiences. Now, are you witnesses of the beginning of a language, the birth of a language that never existed? Are you witnesses of the reemergence of a language that was never spoken? Did it ever occur to you that there are languages that have never been verbalized, that beneath the words that you know and speak there are other sounds and other meanings that you do not approximate with the language that you know? Did it ever occur to you that there are other methods of communication and ways of learning what they are and steps to learning them?

Now you are beginning to communicate backward and trying to put aside the language that you knew and the phrases that you took for granted in order to approximate a more pure communication. One way of doing this would be to take several steps away from the language that you know to get into somewhat unfamiliar territory and to learn your way there, and then to be taken further down the primrose path where little by little the vowels and syllables themselves would disappear until you are at the pure sound and beneath that with true feeling. You see but a representation of me, as you realize. You see but a representation of this Sumari, as you realize. You see but the representation of yourselves in the mirror, as you realize, but behind these representations are larger multidimensional realities, and we have many teaching methods and you are apt learners. And we will indeed, with your permission and consent, lead you into other areas where you need not rely only upon the communication that you now take for granted, and we must begin by building bridges and so we shall.

You are coming very close, and that is an excellent starter. A very good comment indeed. When you walk merrily singing we want you to feel safe. We do not want you to think that you are taking a gay step across the abyss of reality and the universe with nothing, no bridge, to hold you there. You would be frightened, indeed.

Do surprises never end? In what voices and what languages do truths come and in what packages and in what forms? And what the heart knows needs no translation, and the universe does indeed speak without words and so the truths that come to you do indeed, to some extent, come packaged or you would not perceive them. And you would throw them away for you would think the air cannot speak and space makes no noise, and in the silence there is no voice and no meaning and so voice and sound and language are given you. But let you remember that the language and the sound and the noise are packages that have been parceled for you, but for you personally, tailored for you exactly according to your own purposes and needs.

Now if you would truly learn how to listen, and you are beginning to, then you would know what I am saying and my own speech lately is carefully calculated. In certain terms, and remembering what I told you earlier, in certain terms the Sumari language does exist, and in certain terms you know it well. The Sumaris certainly exist, and you are here because you are a Sumari. And the Sumari have a way of looking in on their own now and then and coming home. These are your own secrets I am bringing out into the open. Questions that you have within yourselves. You need ways to make the answers plain to you so that you can understand them. We work in two directions. First we try to bring interior knowledge outward into some kind of physical materialization where you can deal with it in terms of sound or vision, and then we try to get you to go inward and dispense with sound and vision, so you are always working in two directions at once. And since past, present and future exist now in your terms you need bridges, because you do not really understand the nature of time, so you think you need a bridge to get from past to present or from past to future or from one kind of reality to another. This is not the case, of course, but while you think you need the bridges they are provided, and the Sumari are voices that call to you though they do not have sound. They are memories that come to you from yourselves from both the future and the past. They are yourselves speaking to you in multitudinous voices in many languages focused for you in a particular place and a particular time. You are the Sumari who communicate with you and they are you.

If you have a question then I will be here to answer it, or to fence with it, or to throw it back to you, but I will be here to do something with it.

Now I want you all to pay particular attention to your dreams again for some time. You should meet other Sumari in the dream state, and if you are on your toes you can discover some of the work that you do while you are sleeping and the Sumari that you meet. You can also learn more about yourselves by watching your conscious life and the Sumari that you may meet while you are waking.

Now I want all of you to do two things. On the one hand be more alert and on the other hand more spontaneous. Be more alert to your spontaneous activity in other words.

(To Janice.) And do not judge yourself so harshly. I hope there is no doubt about to whom I am speaking. Treat yourself as you would a beloved friend and stop hollering at yourself all the time.

You ride yourself too hard in that respect. Tell yourself that you are doing well and you will and you will realize it. You are doing better when you are asleep.

It does not matter whether it is necessary or not. What is the intent behind your husband’s idea? Why is he suggesting it and how much harm or good will it do? Is it as important to buck his ideas because you do not agree with them or to go along and say, who knows? If he believes that the health food will help, then the health food will help.

See what you think. Try the foods. If they make you nauseous do not sell them. If they can help people who believe that they can help people, then there is no harm to charge for them.

Then that is not a matter of health foods, but of honesty, and that you must deal with yourself, but tell yourself you will know the answer and make the reasons for your objections clear. Do not buck him on principle to buck him.

There is some, but do not misinterpret or overinterpret and do not insist too much upon specifics.

You can always continue. Do not limit yourself, however, by insisting upon specifics at your particular point in the game. Do you follow me?
