“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We may do this presently for some sessions. I am taking it for granted that you are both determined to clear the air and set yourselves to a new level of achievement and freedom. Therefore I will make whatever comments I can on your progress.

You reacted cautiously. It was like the beginning of a dance. When Ruburt got a real touch of inhibited feeling he automatically translated it to the leg, and only by a strong exertion of will managed to get the feeling behind the words out at all. Nor did you freely encourage him to do so.

Instead you get to the point where the emotion barely surfaces and you say “Oh, yes, that came from such and such.” This applies now to both of you. Now you both handled emotional situations involving you both more or less in the same manner. You still do not want to feel and counter the emotions on their level.

You want to do anything with the emotions but feel them. Write about them, paint them, talk about them, anything but feel them. Do you see the difference now?

Do you have questions?

Make it a point then to encourage your own expression of emotion, and Ruburt’s. Do you want a break?

(I told her in turn, and believe she agreed, that all phases of our lives were changing, that it was vital that they do so, since the way of life we had worked out was doing so poorly. This included my painting, my job at Artistic, my attitudes about money, classes—in short everything I could think of, I guess. I’m not so sure Jane would lump all of her activities together in the same way, though – she may not feel the need. I strongly suspected my days at Artistic were numbered; especially so since we now planned a long trip early next year, after taking care of checking the copyreading Prentice-Hall is now doing on Seth Speaks; we are due to get the script back in January.

The language will effectively block the automatic translation of inner experience into stereotypes, therefore. This is a very simple explanation. The bridge in our case will be a multidimensional one, serving therefore other purposes also. It will be (in quotes) “constructed” in such a fashion that it allows the exploration of many different levels of reality. Some method was needed to prevent this translation of inner data from becoming too distorted by the verbal forms that so readily awaited it. Do you follow me?

Then, and only then, can you project this understanding or insight onto the word alphabet, and sense how the skin does have its own alphabet. The word alphabet itself becomes changed for you. Do you follow me?

Do you want a break?

Now. Do you remember the word given for painting?

Now do you see how the word used in that manner tells you something different?

I simply want to clue you into what I am doing as I do it.
