“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

First of all, this evening’s small chat: it was a beginning. You should freely encourage each other however to express feelings. Those mentioned tonight on Ruburt’s part were “negative” ones precisely because they were so strongly inhibited. He tossed them out cautiously, watching for their effect upon you.

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.

(9:36. Jane’s trance had been good. She said, regarding her leg pain, that when she got it just before the session she felt like crying, but didn’t want to interrupt the session. She was afraid I’d be bothered, also.

(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?

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.

(The December 1 session had been recorded, and is extremely interesting. I ended up speaking some Sumari myself. Jane advanced to the point where she was able to translate some of this as we went along and the end product, in part, was some excellent poetry.

It was montella. (My phonetic interpretation.) Montellas are the end products of cordellas, arranged not only in a certain fashion, but congregated or placed within a certain rich sphere of dyniad activity.

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.
