“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Seth devoted the first part of the session to a continuation of his introduction for Jane’s “Cézanne” book — and he has yet to complete that material. Then at 10:01:)

Now — dictation for the book — my book.

(10:40.) Give us a moment… Using ordinary language, you speak with your fellows. You write histories and communications. Many books are meant to be read and never to be spoken aloud. Through written language, then, communication is vastly extended. In direct contact, however, you encounter not only the spoken language of another, but you are presented with the communicator’s person as well. Spoken language is embellished with smiles, frowns, or other gestures, and these add to the meaning of the spoken word.

Often when you read a book you silently mouth the words, as if to reinforce their symbolic content with a more emotional immediacy. The language of the psyche, however, is far richer and more varied. Its “words” spring alive. Its “verbs” really move, and do not simply signify, or stand for, motion (emphatically).

(11:01. Jane’s delivery was quite intent. During break she picked up that the Cézanne material from Seth would be in two parts — one of these being on world views, the other more on Cézanne-and-world-views. “So what do I call the book?” she asked. 11:25.)
