“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now. Let us speak about the Sumari. Ruburt does not like the idea of brotherhoods, alive or dead, so I should not use that phrase. So we will say that the Sumari are a guild. In much earlier times, they would be a royal guild, in that they are the richest, the most expansive. They have indeed, on their own, begun civilizations. They have a large membership. It is impossible to speak to you in terms of membership, however, for the idea of individuality is not clear with you yet, and you would think in terms of how many individuals.

In their strong psychic alliance and in their coordination abilities, and the agility with which—the agility with which—they can manipulate between systems, consciously, with purpose, and with some exuberance. They are communicators in that they spread knowledge from one system of reality to another. They are given much more, for example, to ideas rather than to the various camouflage realities within systems. Many groups, you see, deal exclusively with the camouflage reality between systems, with building it up, with its maintenance.

Initiate and nourish, in his particular case. The Sumari, however—and they all initiate—initiate the birth of systems. They constantly carry communications between systems, and they deal with the initiation and communication of ideas, from one system to another. Because they are initiators therefore, they are creators. They are, however, comparatively speaking, like those who create and then are satisfied to go on to other creations. They want someone else to take care of what they have created. They do not want to hang around to now the grass, in other words. But those who mow the grass could not create it.

(Break at 10:30. Jane came out of trance and told us that she knew Seth had said something about astrology because she had had a conceptual experience, which she simply couldn’t put into words, involving the positions of the planets and the vastness behind their symbolism. We discussed the idea of Sumari and what might be their connection with the “class dreams.” If class could correlate their dreams, we might be able to find a common theme or purpose, with each individual remembering his own part in it. Break lasted for a half an hour and Rob was wondering if the session was over when Seth resumed at 11:02.)

The session is not over. Now. There are several reasons why the personal last evening appeared feminine in the first instance; and this is a matter again of translation. The Sumari are initiators and creators. They are filled with feelings of abundance; they have great energy, you see. There is not a word in your vocabulary to explain what I am trying to get at. The word “graciousness” as used last evening comes faintly close. The feminine seemed to apply, therefore; it was a way of getting these characteristics across. It was also a way that Ruburt used to translate the idea of the particular kind of creativity involved; the idea, indeed, of birth, for this is the birth or a system, of a new kind of reality, that this group is involved with.

You were listening in one respect to the voice of your people. The second voice, therefore, also had its own part to play, bringing in the idea, hopefully, both of ancient knowledge and of youth. And in that case, the feminine idea was not used. Do you follow me?

(Jane came out of trance at 11:20 and we sat and talked about what had been said. During the past hour or so, however, the first syllables of a word—“grund...” or “gruna...” had been going through my head, and I had the idea that it was related to these “families”. “I wonder what some other family names are,” I remarked. “I keep getting this word like Grundoon or something.” At that, Seth was abruptly there.)
