“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

It is senseless to ask whether or not a bridge is true. It exists. It gets you somewhere. A bridge is a valid reality, regardless of its architecture or the type of symbols that may be written upon it, or its color, or the material from which it is made.

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.

Other physical manipulations may also be involved, as Ruburt suspected this afternoon. The word cordella, now for example, was used instead of alphabet to break your ordinary conceptions of alphabet while conveying an idea of symbols closely allied, and upon which alphabets are based.

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.
