“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

Now. In our sessions and in your work with me, various kinds of teaching methods have been used, and will be. Steps and bridges will be provided.

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?

(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.

Now our sessions have always involved methods of perception, and the translation of inner experience. The sessions themselves deal with experiences that are basically not verbal but must be physically translated. Translations go on of which you are not aware whether or not you perceive them, and whether or not you are affected. They are simply the results of such activity intruding into a physical montella.
