The Sumari language is a bridge, and valid in those terms. It will lead you into the use of the inner senses, away from the confining nature of pet phrases and familiar language that is already loaded with its own connotations.

The Sumari language is a language then in those terms, a method of communication. It is the beginning of a logically unstructured vehicle that will carry you hopefully further into the inner heart of perception. I hope that eventually it will allow you to experience more fully the inner cognizance that is beneath physical perception and physical translation.

A bridge serves those both coming and going, and carries goods in both directions. The Sumari language in those terms will be used as a method of carrying you further into the nature of inner cognizance, and then allowing you to return again, retranslating what you have learned, not automatically into the stereotyped verbal pattern.

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?

This is but one method. (Pause.) In following this particular line of development, Ruburt for example will be taught to free inner cognition from the recognized verbal patterns enough so that any future work with speakers manuscripts will not be stereotyped out of all proportion. A recognizable verbal pattern must of course result, but use of the language itself will break up these personal associative processes that cling to recognized language symbols.

Therefore clear perception of inner data can freely use the whole structure of your own language for its flow if need be, but the stereotyped patterns will be broken.

The practice with the language, and other practices that will be connected to it, will serve other purposes also. (Pause.) A certain amount of mental and psychic alertness is required on the one hand, and on the other alertness itself changes brain patterns in a most effective manner.

(As Seth, Jane referred now to the Sumari language session we held on Wednesday, December 1, in place of the regular session. As I sat on the couch in our living room, my oil painting of Ianodiala, the 14th century Turkish clairvoyant, hung on the wall behind me. This is the painting Jane had used as a teaching instrument on Dec. 1, and referred to again now.

I am using the different terms simply to give you an idea of how the language can be used to free your ideas about familiar things. The most (in quotes) “objective” montella is a symbol of course. The more true to life the montella is the less apt you are to realize its symbolic qualities on a conscious level.

Think in terms of impressionism and its values, then switch to the idea of a Sumari language and see the connection, and the purposes that can be served. The language is fluid. All of the words need not be defined, though key ones will be. It will be used as a method of expanding your concepts, not of teaching you to translate experience into just another but different stereotyped form that happens to be more exclusive.

The new data emerging within your physical reality would have to appear in a way that was congruous with its surroundings, and adopt then some acceptable representation. To follow it back to its source however you would have to keep sight of it as it gradually was divested of these recognizable patterns. The language gives you a thread, then, to follow it backward. You may take a break or end the session as you prefer.
