“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You may feel free to ask me about your plans, and I will give you what help I can. The emotional basis of your relationship is beginning to take its proper balance and direction. Now: Do you have any questions on the material just given?

Do you follow me?

Use of the language, utilizing sound but not recognizable word symbols, will allow you to understand and express some of these. Doing so will enable you to express far more physically also. There are, to say the least, multitudinous levels of feelings that merge to form what you would call a given experience.

(10:11. Pause.) As I have said often, language is used as often to distort as it is to clearly communicate. There is a structure within the Sumari language, but it is not one based upon logic. Some of its effectiveness has to do with the synchronization of its rhythms with bodily rhythm. The sounds themselves activate portions of the brain not usually used in any conscious manner. It is a disciplined language in that spontaneity has a far greater order than any you recognize.

(Long pause at 10:24.) Cordellas are invisible symbols that surface. As they surface they show the universe in a new light by the very nature of their relationships. In a very limited fashion alphabets do the same thing, for once you have accepted certain basic verbal symbols they impose their discipline even upon your thoughts, obviously since you think in words so often.

Their discipline and rigidity is considerable. Once you think of a “tree” (in quotes) as a tree, it takes great effort before you can see it freshly ever again, as a living individual entity. Cordellas do not have the same rigidity. Far greater, immensely greater fluidity operates. Inner invisible relationships are allowed to rise, the acknowledged recognized reality viewed through the lenses of these emerging relationships. Then the cordella changes its nature, becomes another new emerging group of relationships, another lens in other words. Do you follow the connections?

(We talked it over. Jane had visualized a painting of houses and trees. She said Seth had considered that an artist could do, say, five paintings; each with different symbols but all with the same basic meaning. Resume in the same manner at 10:55.)

In quite different terms however it is a language that is at the base of all languages, and from which all languages spring in your terms. Alphabets do not change, or you would consider them relatively useless. Cordellas, as I told you, do change. Alphabets are the physical aspect of cordellas. One very small aspect of a cordella is sized upon and (in quotes) “frozen,” so to speak, its ordinary motion and the rhythm of its changes therefore unrecognized. (Long pause at 11 PM.)
