“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(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?

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.
