[...] As mentioned, love incites the desire to know, explore, and communicate with the beloved; so language began as man tried to express his love for the natural world.

The language or the method of communication can best be described perhaps as direct cognition. [...]

He had always made sounds that communicated emotions, intent, and sheer exuberance. [...]

[...] In a manner of speaking your languages, while expressing your individual intents and communications, also represent a kind of amplification arising from your molecular configurations. [...]

Neither of you want physical issue, for the primary purpose now is to leave behind your work, paintings and writings, and my communications. These communications are not important because they are mine, nor because they come through you, but because they are messages from other dimensions, telling man of his own nature.

[...] These occur in any communication of this kind, and we shall attempt to clear them up when I notice them, or you bring them to my attention.

There were many roads you could have taken, in which case you would not have been able to communicate with me, nor I with you; and if this had not happened, that possibility of ideal fulfillment could not have occurred.

The relationship between you was a basis for this communication. [...]

[...] The cat’s meow (amused) is as enchanting to the cat as to its owner—meaningful sounds that communicate feeling. [...] The infant’s discovery that it can communicate in such a way is indeed magical to it. [...]

Now: you use words and their suggestive elements to reinforce and communicate your own purposes, beliefs, and intents. [...] The power of those communications rides upon the same kind of symbolism as dream images, in which each image is actually tightly organized.

You both have had this kind of communication through the years. [...]

[...] That is the nature of communication.

(To Ron.) And when you are ready to communicate, you will communicate. [...]

[...] Unfortunately, we do not communicate easily with the portion of you that can understand. You are not in communication with that portion of yourselves that is not physical, that was never physical and that will not know physical existence at all, and since you identify with the physical self then, indeed, we come to you in the guise of ghosts that you do not understand our forms that you cannot see. [...]

[...] Personalities meet and communicate whether they are physical or not. [...]

Communicating with your system in such a manner demands great diligence and greater discrimination, according to the “distance” of the communicator from the physical system. [...]

[...] The Speakers are gifted according to their own characters, some having far more abilities than others, but all playing roles in the communication of inner data. [...]

The greatest Speakers do not only translate and communicate inner data, but also go much further into these inner realms of reality than others connected with your physical system. [...]

[...] On the other hand, pertinent physical data was also communicated one to another in the dream state, and both states were utilized to a high degree. [...]

[...] I have told you that the communication between your landlord’s father and himself was a valid one, and I believe that other communications have taken place. [...]

[...] The attractions weaken, but during their duration, when certain conditions are met, communication can take place.

[...] The personality is already immersed in a dimensional transformation; when the emotional need of those within the physical plane call out for communication, they add to the pull or force of the attraction still present, binding portions of the personality to the physical field, and can add to the resistance encountered by personalities in transformation.

[...] Later, so to speak, when entrance into another and higher is achieved, then such a higher-dimensioned personality may without difficulties of this sort communicate with your field.

[...] It often looks askance, however, at any investigations that might show man taking advantage of that independence now. While it preaches the survival of the soul, it is suspiciously uninterested in studying cases in which there seems to be communication between the quick and the “dead.”

[...] The facts should be clear to any person who has ever experienced a valid precognitive dream, clairvoyant event, or telepathic communication.

[...] Sort of a vitalized fourth-dimensional letter or communication, in which, if you’ll forgive the term, the medium is the message.

[...] When you send a communication or telegram, you merely send words. [...]

[...] Therefore communication is dependent upon your time system. The inner self however is not so limited, as you know, and inner communications continue always beneath words. [...]

[...] Those who have survived physical death in your terms, must use words in their communications, for you do not understand wordless communications. [...]

There are unities, barely contemplated, then, between language, exterior communication, the physical nervous system, and time, or your idea of it. [...]

[...] Even thought communication however need not necessarily follow the form of words. [...]

Last night’s dream was a communication from the Helen who was the friend of Ruburt’s mother. [...] And the import of the dream was clear to him merely in the perception of that simple data, the black envelope, with the return name in the left hand corner, and though he does not recall it, his name on the envelope as the person to whom the communication was sent.

However, I cannot tell him this, since he has indeed received a communication from someone he knew as his mother’s friend. [...]

(It might be of interest to note that Helen McIlwain, the communicant in Jane’s dream of November 8, has been dead for perhaps two years. [...]

(Thus, Seth seems to be saying in the above paragraph that Jane received a communication through a personality that has been dead for two years. [...]

(10:44.) To some extent it is true to say that languages emerged as you began to lose direct communication with your own experience, and with that of others. Language is therefore a substitute for direct communication. [...]

[...] Your languages program your perceptions, and limit your communications in certain terms (underlined) as much as they facilitate it.

[...] In the same way, your languages are based upon an inner knowledge of larger available communications. [...]

[...] You may at some time be in communication with others. [...]

A very good sense of rhythm (pause), but a great difficulty in communicating with words, a verbal incapacity. [...]

[...] Nor could you communicate with the townspeople. [...]

In relationships with other people you did very poorly however because of the lack of verbal communication. [...]

More is always involved, however, for those viruses that you consider communicable do indeed in one way or another represent communications on a biological level. They are biological statements, literally social communications, biologically made, and they can be of many kinds.

(Pause at 9:17.) There are all kinds of biological reactions between bodies that go unnoticed, and they are all basically of a social nature, dealing with biological communications. [...]

[...] The same relationships, however, do not only exist between human bodies, of course, but between man and the animals and the plants in the environment, and is part of the unending biological communication that overall produces the vitality of physical experience.

Basic communication has been difficult. This means you should try better to communicate your thoughts and feelings. [...]

[...] The two of you were not communicating well. [...]

You made love frequently, and began an open communication area. [...]

[...] Communication will flow freely, but now you need it.

[...] There is a point of contact where knowledge can be communicated from these various dimensions; and for too many reasons to give you now, Ruburt is precisely in proper coordinates for such communication to take place.

[...] (Pause.) It is highly important that the material not be distorted then, for most communications take place on far different levels than this, so closely connected with your own system that even the most undistorted material is highly distorted, because the communicators themselves are so closely involved with camouflages, and do not realize that they create the realities which they then describe.

[...] The apex point in Ruburt’s personality is an extremely fortunate and unusual one, and the reason that such communications can take place.

You (to me), are also necessary however, and as I intend to develop a discussion concerning such communications, you will be able to see your own position more clearly.

[...] Now you liked that work, Joseph – not only because of the art, but because of the communication that was involved. Particularly when you drew animals, you could use them as symbols for noble virtues, but in any case it was the means of communication, a communication that to some extent could bridge the particular emotional troubles people might be having at any given time.

[...] That part of you existed quite intimately in your thoughts, while at the same time you found it difficult to communicate with the family [members] generally, and you were struck by the great gap of communication that seemingly existed between the most related people.

You sensed certain characteristics in Ruburt when first you met, and you knew intuitively that certain probabilities could bring the two of you together, both using your individual abilities in ways at that time unknown to you, but that those individual abilities, joined, could together produce a new kind of threshold—an overview through which that sensed excellence could at least be glimpsed, contained in essence at least, and communicated.

It is the communication of the ideal of excellence that is so important to you. [...]

[...] Part of the discussion will deal with the ways in which I can communicate with you. [...]

[...] He will want perhaps practical experience in communication with others. [...]

[...] There are fields of energy set up and channels that open between various such environments, and communications can be made through these.

[...] I do not mean necessarily that in all cases communication will occur, but a psychic return can be made at will.

[...] You write histories and communications. [...] Through written language, then, communication is vastly extended. In direct contact, however, you encounter not only the spoken language of another, but you are presented with the communicator’s person as well. [...]

[...] Imagine further of course that these explorations occur at once, even though communication may be faulty, so that each group has difficulty communicating with the others. [...]

[...] (Pause, then humorously:) Mama and Papa, back at the homestead, know where their children have gone, in other words; they read with amusement, amazement, and wonder the communications from their offspring. [...]

On the one hand he cannot communicate with you clearly because of his own condition at this time. [...]

[...] You must have patience while these abilities develop, while Ferd learns to perfect his own communication process, and while you learn to perfect your receptive abilities.

The validity and quality of any communications will rest primarily with the energy with which you are willing to develop your abilities. [...]

A steady and dedicated responsibility will best allow you to develop your ability and insure the validity of your communications. [...]

(“How does our weather today bear upon communicating with you?”

[...] On some such occasions these circumstances can work toward excellent communication. [...]

[...] All communications depend upon inner electromagnetic manipulations in any case, even for example mental images, and body temperature is also related here.

[...] As often as not, Seth will suggest we continue with a session when conditions for communication are excellent.
