“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(It had been snowing all evening and I had some trouble driving in from Pine City. Besides that, my recording of the Sumari personality was poor and I had to stop at Fred and Pete’s [class members] to get their tape, and I didn’t arrive at Jane & Rob’s until 9 PM. We played the two tapes—Jane was especially interested in the chant that preceded the Sumari’s short speech—until 9:20. Jane had written this chant down during an Alpha experiment in class; when she started to read it to us, she suddenly wailed the words as loudly as I have ever heard even Seth’s voice go:

(“Well,” Rob said, “earlier, I heard a fragment of that chant while I was still typing, but I forgot about it.”

You must ask him. Now. Ruburt’s friend, his darling Dr. Wilt, is indeed a Sumari. They both knew it at once, and you are lucky they did not go into that chant and dance right there. The gesture, in your terms now, was a translation, not into words but into a physical gesture, of acknowledgement and recognition.

Now, I bid you a fond good evening. And some night I will do our chant for you.

Now. We are not going to get into a discussion of all the guilds or brotherhoods this evening, because I want to do a good job when we do it now. The chant, however, the vowels and syllables used in pronouncing the chant, are highly important and evocative. The sounds themselves are keys that tune you in, so to speak, with certain frequencies. In other words, the chant is a tool in that regard, a translation in completely different terms, of something far different.
