“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

All realities are the result of idea construction. Thinking is automatic. It is a process with which you are gifted. You can think of things that are distant, things that you have never seen. You can imagine events with which you have had no personal experience. You are used to dealing with concepts, so that your thinking is not restricted, for example, to the mental naming of an object—but you also inquire as to its origin, its meaning, its class. Your thinking itself is its own kind of invisible language, for you think before you learn language.

At that time you acquire the language of your people, and you learn to use mental concepts in a rather specialized way, and to further designate objects more specifically. Language therefore is bound to color your native thinking processes, so that it becomes almost impossible to wonder how you thought before you learned language.

In the same way, beneath your conscious use of language there lies a vast inner communication, a mental system upon whose basis language must rest. There you deal with ideas and concepts in a far different context, if you prefer, one that deals with similarities, complementary relationships, unities. This is the most complex of systems, in which each detail has meaning—not only because of its unique individual nature, but because of the greater meaning that any one detail has in the larger mental structure of the universe.
