“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We were discussing the nature of perception some while back, and its relation to clairvoyant activities. We were discussing the fact that no knowledge exists apart from consciousness. I told you that any perception alters the perceiver. Not only mentally and emotionally but also alters the electromagnetic reality of the internal physical structure.

In some systems colors are used as a prime method of communication. They are sent out telepathically, each gradation of such variety that you cannot now imagine it. These intricate color communications follow the almost endless emotional shadings possible. It is difficult you see to verbalize this concept. They have to begin with more spectrums than those with which you are familiar. They live in an entirely different sense universe.

These are not to be thought of as colored pictures however, for neither do they use that kind of imagery, and yet a high degree of preciseness is communicated. In your terms there would be, in quotes, “words” for all kinds of subtle emotional states for which you have no words.

The whole psychological structure is therefore entirely different. It is also more demanding. The emotions and intuitions are the basis of experience, and the means of getting knowledge in most other systems. They have their own in quotes “reasoning processes” of which you are little aware, since at your point of development you use the intellect as a rule in its place, and make a clear distinction between the two areas.

Emotional reasoning however rises far above this. The inner highly precise nature of the in quotes “emotional intellect” is hidden from you, for the physical intellect cannot follow it. The emotional intellect therefore would seem chaotic. Most of its richness and depth would not be perceived by the physically oriented brain.

The emotional intellect for example is not time-oriented, and this alone makes no sense to the physical brain. It finds it highly difficult to assimilate any information not time-oriented, therefore it labels it as meaningless. Now this information is helpful to your development, and we shall continue to discuss it, for you can to some degree, with my aid, understand how this emotional intellect works if you try to understand the material intuitively, use your imagination with it, and try to feel it out.

Now you may take your break and we shall continue. (To me:) You particularly however, because of your own background, have felt the emotions to be reasonless, and so you have to some extent feared them. When you discover that their “logic” in quotes is far more effective and meaningful, and purposeful, your attitude will change.

Now. Emotion, a particular emotion as you know it, is the result of information and deductions already made of which you are aware. Because all of this information is not available to the brain, it sees the emotion as a sudden thing, appearing within the brainscape’s reach, often unexplainable and therefore to some extent threatening.

Emotions, to the brain, are also somewhat frightening, because of their vividness, which seems out of order to the brain. To the brain something in the past seems dim, yet an emotional feeling that occurred in the past may suddenly appear again within the brainscape’s awareness, as vividly as its first occurrence, and the brain feels disoriented.

The brain however often does not see the inner logic of the emotion’s reoccurrence, or the inner connections that make it again pertinent. Any given emotion itself contains within it multitudinous perceptions that the brain has not perceived, and as a result indeed of in quotes “calculations” the brain could not follow.

Any current emotion contains within itself memory patterns, interconnections and interpretations, that are far more dazzling in their meaning and content than any, for example, highly precise mathematical data. Particularly are memories enclosed within, gathered together from in quotes “previous” experience, all cunningly collected with utmost attention and high selectivity.

I want you to understand the complexity that lies within emotional feeling, for you can then use it to better advantage, and it will add dimension to your own present experience.
