“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Your conscious knowledge rests upon an invisible, unspoken, psychological and physical language that provides the inner support for the communications and recognized happenings of conscious life. 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. If you try to speak English you cannot speak Chinese at the same time. One precludes the other, even while one implies the existence of the other, for to that degree all languages have some common roots.

The events that you recognize as official have a unitary nature in time that precludes those probable versions of them, from which they arose — versions that appeared to one extent or another in the dream state. Again, if you speak the English sentence “I am here,” you cannot speak the Chinese version at the same time. In that regard, in your framework of action you choose to “speak” one event rather than another. Your formation of events, however, does not simply reside in your unique psychological properties, of course, but is possible because of the corporal alphabet of the flesh.

[...] You sense the overall shape of the book, often clearly, but because of the workings of functional consciousness, when you must focus upon a particular passage, that focus necessarily precludes the overall vision at the same time.

[...] Your saying so, however, does not preclude the fact that consciousness began long before.

Your arbitrary decision that consciousness ends with the change of physical properties at the arbitrary point you call death, does not preclude the fact that consciousness does not end here. [...]

[...] We also discussed methods of reproducing this material mechanically, since time precludes my trying to type more copies.

The consciousness of that myth can indeed have no origin, for the myth precludes anything but a physically-oriented and physically-mechanized consciousness. [...]

[...] It is a portion of you, however, that deals with the formation of events, that glories in a rather rambunctious and creative activity that your specifications of time and place physically preclude. [...]

[...] This will serve as a formidable focus, yet by its nature it may often preclude other experiences that many individuals find quite normal. [...]

[...] By its nature, however, that precise specialization and tuning of consciousness in to space and time largely precludes other less-specialized encounters with realities. [...]

[...] That is, their number precludes any one single clear path, specifically noted. [...]

[...] But if that idea of yourself remains limited then it may preclude, say, even being a wife to your husband, deny you many complementary interests, and prevent expansion of your personality in other areas.

[...] To develop as an athlete, for example, great training is required that automatically focuses energy and activity, and hence usually precludes deep concentration to the same degree in a different area. [...]

(Jane finally said that my tirade precluded her going back into trance to resume the session. [...]

[...] Jimmy states that attendants there direct him to a different spot each time; the size of the dump precludes any detailed search, so we conclude that the cover will probably never be found.

(As usual I placed the objects between two pieces of heavy Bristol, to preclude any identification by touch, then sealed this sandwich in two envelopes. [...]

[...] (Long pause.) Reincarnation suggests, of course, the extension of personal existence beyond one time period, independently of one bodily form, the translation or transmission of intelligence through nonphysical frameworks, and implies psychological behavior, memory and desire as purposeful action without the substance of any physical mechanism—propositions that science at its present stage of development simply could not buy, and for which it could find no evidence, for its methods would automatically preclude the type of experience that such evidence would require.
