“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.

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. 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?
