“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

If there is a class session, a long one, and if Ruburt feels tired, then the following session of my own may be a briefer one. But all in all the regularity should be maintained, and the suggestion I have given will allow both schedule and freedom from schedule.

In a very literal manner then you are the knowledge that you have. The interchange is constant. Now. Initially and basically perception is not dependent upon your senses. Any perception is first of all a psychic one that is then translated in ways meaningful to the physical organism. To other organisms in different realities perception would therefore be translated in an entirely different manner.

Now to some (underlined) degree, this also applies to the information that I give you in our sessions. It must come through the available channels of the physical human mechanism in order that it be at all meaningful. As I mentioned some sessions ago, on the one hand you can say that the method involves distortion, but without the distortions there would be no meaningful knowledge for you to understand.

The analogy may be a poor one in that it says so little, and yet it will be helpful in giving you the idea. Instead of nouns for example you would have the shape of the ever-moving pattern, instead of a verb the pulsation of the color, or rather of its transmission. Instead of a time sequence of tenses, which they would not need, you have the intensities and depths of color.

Now. There are indeed a body of symbols that are more or less basic within all kinds of perception—bridgeworks from one form of perception to another, since beneath all perceiving systems there is consciousness. Certain symbols therefore will have meaning. I do not see any particular purpose in giving these to you now, but at some time I will do so. (Long pause.)

Some systems use methods of perception that cannot be explained, since they contain nothing that is familiar to you. Within most systems death as you know it, with the meaning you attach to it, has no importance. The advanced consciousness can focus within one in quotes “life” while already sending portions of itself into the next quote “life,” as for example you might in school take advanced calculus while still remaining in an elementary philosophy class. Do you understand?

One note for Ruburt, who has been waiting for it: he is not pregnant. (Humorously.
