“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You are beginning to perceive the holes in the camouflage, for I have pointed them out to you. They are doorways into inner realities, and other realities, as are these sessions. Those who have survived physical death in your terms, must use words in their communications, for you do not understand wordless communications. They themselves are far freer, however.

We should perhaps differentiate between thoughtwords and speech, or spoken words. Thoughtwords are used by many for some interval. I am speaking of those who have survived death in your terms. They do not need the spoken word. Even thought communication however need not necessarily follow the form of words. There can be thought without words (smile),in other words.

For simplicity’s sake, let us say that there is a process of change. Those alive in your terms rely at least outwardly on the spoken word. Those who have left and survive, use thoughtwords but do not need to speak, though they may (underlined). As proficiency grows and as the inner senses are more fully used, the necessity for even thoughtwords vanishes.

The letter that Ruburt has written is significant in ways that you have not seen. (Pause.) Mr. Edwards admits that he calls upon surviving personalities, healers who have survived death in your terms. In the past Ruburt would not admit, basically, that such survival was a fact, much less ask for help from such quarters.
