“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.

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?

And now you may all take a Seth break except, of course, I will answer our friend here from Richelieu’s time.

It is your rope. Now you may all take a Seth break.

That was a delightful statement, and I have been here all along. Someone has to overlook the goings on here. While the cat is away the mice will play and the Sumari are the trap.

He had no conscious purpose at all. He acted, however, as you unconsciously expected him to act.

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.

([Mary Ellen:] “Not all the people that you meet in the dream state are Sumari, right? Is Dr. Winston a Sumari?”)

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 are criticizing yourself all of the time.

([Bette:] “Then it’s the very core from which ...when we get involved in this time and all time is going on, all our lives are going on now—past, present, future...”

([Bette:] “Go back to the core. All these lives, all of our lives are going on now.”)

([Bette:] “Now if we could somehow stop everything and go back this way we would all go right back to Sumari, right? To the core?”)

And you are Sumari now. The core is a core while it is more than the core. It is the seed. For example change core to seed. Sumari is the seed. It is also the tree that has grown from the seed and the leaves that have grown from the tree, and they all exist simultaneously. Did I get that across yet or did you like my song?

([Bette:] “All right, so we go from the seed to the tree to the leaves. Now the leaves fall off and eventually—I know that it’s the same thing like I said with our lives,  that all are going on at the same time. It’s a cycle but does it eventually all go back to the seed?”)

Now I bid you all a fond good evening.

Now I bid you all a fond good evening, and I hope you meet many Sumari in your sleep and hopefully in the waking state and I hope that you read this session well, for when you see the words written down you will also hear what is between the words and hidden within the vowels and syllables.
