“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

I will be here to see that this is put to practical use also, translated into terms that can be understood, and provide a firm basis from which you can further explore the nature of such ancient perceptions. Again, the two of you are well-suited for this endeavor. Your interest in painting and your abilities do not only spring from the Denmark life, for example, but also arose out of your quite legitimate life as Nebene, when you were focused upon the visual symbols and their correct inscription. The slightest error in copying a symbol could change its meaning completely, hence your concern over details, and hence now your great trust in objective painting, and your occasional distrust of work that seems to come too easily.

You were, as Nebene, extremely stern with your students, concerned that they not fall into carelessness. You were focused upon the transmission of knowledge. In the Denmark life the love of the visual was still with you, but you were trying to allow yourself greater freedom with it, to feel the freedom of adding to what you saw, but you felt a great reluctance to do so. It is for that reason that you gave up painting in that life.
