“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In your language there are words that sound like the reality they try to represent. These are called onomatopoeia. Hush is an example, the word hush. It is understood as a quieting agent. When you say it correctly the breath is slowed and leaves your body: hush-sh-sh-sh the sounds finally seem to disappear.

The body’s feeling, the sound of the words, convey(s) the message. So independently of any language there are sounds that in themselves convey such messages, that act upon the physical system. Their utterance demands certain characteristic uses of breath. What is felt by the organism approximates the meaning of the sounds, and to some extent is the meaning of the sounds.

Such feeling-tone “words” (in quotes), with pantomime or the expressive body, can therefore come closer often than structured language to convey various levels of emotion, to explain levels of subjective feeling that are often distorted in recognizable words.

More than this, they act directly on the body. Physically speaking it is one of the earliest forms of communication. This may lead to the suspicion that I expect you to return to the grunts and groans connected in conventional thought with the cavemen; such is far from the case.

The (yoga) exercises are important because they represent a physical commitment (for Jane). The resolution of his being is behind him now. He will stick to them. This is a physical statement of the inner change, and the inner change must be reflected physically of course: the intention to work with, not against the body, and to help encourage its natural spontaneity and functions.

Impulses therefore will be allowed a more natural expression, as the daily stretching of the muscles adds to his trust of them and of his body.
