“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Translations are therefore necessary, and in many respects the distortions that will appear of necessity in any such translation (pause) are requirements; what might be termed distortion from pure knowledge, you see, is often the result of the translations without which you could not receive nor understand the material.

Beyond this however, some channels are more distortive than others, and we hope to keep this channel as undistorted as possible. As you understand, pure knowledge cannot be put into words, and for that matter it exists beyond your usual concept of thoughts.

(Once again Jane had felt the cone effect—not very strongly—mentioned in the last couple of sessions. She said it was like a cone or pyramid suspended above her head, and that as she went into trance she was to “align” herself directly beneath this cone, which is inverted. Jane then feels that pure knowledge is funneled down this cone toward her; that on the way it is changed, distorted out of shape so that finally she can put it into words. We wondered if Seth had been acting as translator.

On the other hand, you are part of what we are. Inspiration always springs from beyond your system, and not within it. It always springs from channels that are available to you, (pause) and if it is, again, distorted, without the distortions, you could not use the inspirations.
