“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are several issues and avenues of development in the Sumari experience. It will unfold, therefore. The statement is, comparatively speaking, a simple one, so that we can see what Ruburt can do with it.

(Here Seth refers to the three-page letter I wrote to Jane in Sumari on December 31, 1971. As I said in the notes for the deleted session of January 3, 1972, the script appears to be “The Sacred Script of Regulations.” Seth changed the word regulations to covenant, however, in the January 3, 1972 session.)

Corrections will be made if necessary when he is finished. In time the Sumari language will be replaced, you see, by symbols, hopefully fairly faithful representations of symbols used in some ancient manuscripts. The information obviously precedes [the] manuscripts.

The data was also given as I told you by speakers before the time of recognized written language. Some of the speakers were Sumari, and so we will often deal with speakers who were Sumari. Therefore the material will have a typical Sumari slant and interest, a characteristic focus upon certain areas.

Sounds obviously existed before language. There is a pattern of sound beneath all languages, a bed of vocal communication that lies behind all language and alphabet. The vocal sounds of the Sumari language and characteristics as they are presently apparent to you will, hopefully, lead toward these clearly understood but logically unstructured sounds that are recognized by the organism and by the inner self, but ignored by the reasoning conscious mind that focuses upon the logical language.

(9:35.) As a method of freeing you from stereotypes then, this is important. More than this, intuitive information can be given through this method that quite escapes the limitations of logically structured verbal pattern. Some of the Sumari speakers in the beginning transmitted inner information in precisely such a way, and hopefully at some time at least a few such versions may be picked up by Ruburt. So all of this is at the beginning stage.

The symbols were representations of reality. To alter them through carelessness seemed almost a sacrilege, a betrayal of truth. In that regard you saw yourself as the guardian of truth. Visually you were able to pick up the present version of the Sumari statement. Do you follow me?

He is not as visually oriented as you, and it will be a while before the released sounds of the Sumari language will visually appear to him as symbols. Between the two of you then, you are fairly well-equipped for what we have in mind, and all of this must be translated back, you see, in language that you can understand.
