“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In quite different terms however it is a language that is at the base of all languages, and from which all languages spring in your terms. Alphabets do not change, or you would consider them relatively useless. Cordellas, as I told you, do change. Alphabets are the physical aspect of cordellas. One very small aspect of a cordella is sized upon and (in quotes) “frozen,” so to speak, its ordinary motion and the rhythm of its changes therefore unrecognized. (Long pause at 11 PM.)

Their discipline and rigidity is considerable. Once you think of a “tree” (in quotes) as a tree, it takes great effort before you can see it freshly ever again, as a living individual entity. Cordellas do not have the same rigidity. Far greater, immensely greater fluidity operates. Inner invisible relationships are allowed to rise, the acknowledged recognized reality viewed through the lenses of these emerging relationships. Then the cordella changes its nature, becomes another new emerging group of relationships, another lens in other words. Do you follow the connections?

(11:11.) As basic creativeness is behind all art forms, so cordellas are behind and within alphabets. Cordellas represent the ever-changing unfinished relationships that can never be fully expressed, and that constantly seek expression.

Through this session and the last I have tried to show you through some examples the different ways in which the word cordella can be used, and by inference the ways in which the use of this method will enrich your understanding and perception. Your closer relationship will have its effects upon our sessions also, for your energies are at peace (louder:)—and now I bid you a fond good evening, cordella and all.

[...] These inner languages are built up as cordellas, and cordellas are psychic organizational units from which, then, all alphabets are born. Alphabets imply cordellas, but cannot contain them, any more than English can contain Russian, French, Chinese, or any combination. [...]

[...] These are based upon the sensual alphabet, which itself emerges from nonsensual cordellas. [...]

(11:15.) Yet each of those nameless atoms and molecules cooperates in a vast venture, incomprehensible to you, that makes your speech possible, and your reality of events is built up from a cordella of activity in which each spoken word has a history that stretches further back into the annals of time than the most ancient of fossils could remember. [...]

I use the word “cordella” to express the source out of which such languages spring. [...] Biological cordellas then must be the source for physical languages, but the cordellas themselves arise from the psyche’s greater knowledge as it forms the physical mechanism to begin with.

Next chapter, which I believe is eight: “Dreams, Creativity, Languages, and ‘Cordellas.’” You may put Cordellas in quotes.

DREAMS, CREATIVITY, LANGUAGES, AND “CORDELLAS”

Cordellas are the principles behind the units, or the principles upon which the units operate. Sound and light both result from the interaction of different kinds of cordellas. [...] The cordellas are operating substructures of energy, with the ability to attract and repel, to become cohesive or fall apart, carrying within themselves the knowledge of their own identity, literally the self principle that allows them to retain their integrity as absolutes even while merging with others and forming subsidiary alliances.

Cordellas represent the inner cohesive yet free-wheeling quality operating within all reality, that gives it both its organizing structure and its great element of spontaneity. Cordellas are therefore connected with the EE units of which I have spoken.

Then let me add that numbers, sound and light are of course all related and all versions of highly complicated cordellas. [...]

There are, then, cordellas beneath the sensations of hearing, smelling, touching, seeing. [...] The word cordella, used in the same fashion, frees you from limiting conceptions of what an alphabet is.

[...] The word cordella, now for example, was used instead of alphabet to break your ordinary conceptions of alphabet while conveying an idea of symbols closely allied, and upon which alphabets are based.

[...] (My phonetic interpretation.) Montellas are the end products of cordellas, arranged not only in a certain fashion, but congregated or placed within a certain rich sphere of dyniad activity.

[...] dyniah, the word itself without the “d” ending, you see, while never appearing within the montella, defines its activity, reinforces its identity, and is as much a part of it as the hidden cordella that gives it form. [...]

Let us see how far you are able to follow and where the sounds lead you and where you were lead by what was within the sounds, for the sounds are a cordella and I am a Sumari cordella. [...]

[...] If you possibly remember what I said last week, then we will have you dancing through your cordellas, throwing alphabets out of the window to flutter in the wind. [...]

[...] Derek presented an idea about cordellas. [...]

[...] You are getting into some material where we compare cordellas and alphabets and that material will also tell you why we are interested in using this language at all. [...]

(To Pete.) And I appreciate over here, as Ruburt did, your bringing together the concepts of the Sumari cordella and the EE (electromagnetic energy) units. [...]
