“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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.

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?

It builds up from feelings that are by their nature denied clear expression through the specific but therefore limiting alphabet systems. (Pause at 11:06.) It allows the perceiver to face experience much more closely, and once having done this to some extent he is free in other areas also. If you were an accomplished artist in many fields, you could translate a given feeling into a painting. A poem, a musical masterpiece, a sculpture, a novel, an opera, into a great piece of architecture. You would be able to perceive and feel the experience with greater dimension, for your expression would not be limited to translating it automatically, without choice, into any one specific area. Its dimensions would be greater to you then. So a cordella as opposed to an alphabet opens up greater varieties of experience and expression.
