“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Relying upon such external perceptions therefore, communication between members of various systems would be relatively impossible. You might not perceive each other to begin with, or realize that there is anything to be perceived. Such contact therefore would always take place beneath so-called normal perception, and even then you would have to translate this inner perception, as you do any into terms you could understand as physical creatures.

Verbalization is not a basic method of communication for in quotes “higher” forms of consciousness, nor is it for lower forms of consciousness. It is only at your particular intermediate state that verbalization as such is so important. It is a main basis for your species. Because of its importance at your particular stage it is an excellent method for our purposes. In many other systems of reality it is never adopted, for it is in many ways restrictive.

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.

Now were I to communicate with someone in that system, I would have to affect their sense mechanisms, and therefore the material would be delivered in a way, again, that would seem to distort it, and yet without the method it could not be given.

In deeper dreams and fairly unusual projections, you can and do leave your own system entirely. Even though you are out of your physical body however, you will attempt to translate experience with its learned patterns rather than switching into the inner senses. This is why many such experiences, even if recalled, seem chaotic and without meaning.

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?

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.
