“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

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.

Listen to what is being said, and to what is not being said. Now give us a moment and listen to what is being said and to what is not being said and remember what I just told you. Your Seth break is over. In halves you will see what I mean later. Now listen to what is said and to what is not being said.

If, and I am speaking now metaphorically, if-if-if-if-if there was ever a Sumari language existing in the past then it had to be created, and if you want it to be found you had better help create it. You are forming realities. There are people, there are groups of consciousness, who cannot speak. There are feelings that have no vocal expression. There are consciousness, groups of consciousness, that try to communicate and you cannot listen because you insist that they have a language.

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.

Now, try to remember what I have said and try to tell our friend Ruburt when he returns. It is wearying for him to fret and wonder.

Hot rum and hot brandy. Now some evening I will give you a discourse on the benefits of hot brandy, for it was one of my favorite drinks. The rum was your idea like this concoction you brought this evening. I only like the brandy myself, and that is the answer to your question.

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.

([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...”

(Seth singing very loudly.) Sumari is a friend of mine and their time is your time. Now I certainly hope that you have that down on tape. It may not be a melodious, but it made the point I hope.

([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.

So that each board session is not so critical. You should not be dependent upon the board for your answer. You should allow the answer to spontaneously come from within, otherwise the board becomes a symbol in this particular case now alone, so that you demand the answer of it and that is not how to go about it. Does that make it clear?

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.
