“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Very slow, deliberate and precise, each word emphasized as though being handed to us individually, syllable by syllable:)

As I speak now, the revelations that you are burst into activity, and certainly you should know of this. While you think, “I am man, a member of a certain species, inhabiting a planet named Earth in this space and in this time,” then you place artificial barriers between you and your perceptions. And you dwell in a world in which words grow into a distorted lens that denies your own vision. Therefore, to some extent, we will crumble the words up, crumble the words up and distort them until it seems that in the language that we use you perceive certain familiar sounds. Your associative processes find a certain feeling of safety and familiarity, leaping upon this vowel and this syllable. All delightful trickery. But a trickery that is in its own way as truthful as revelations that you are.

[...] That one sentence is (underlined) meaningful because of its organization of letters, or if it is spoken, its organization of vowels and syllables. It makes sense, however, not only because of the letters or vowels or syllables that are used within it, but because of all of the letters or vowels or syllables that it excludes.

[...] Beside that there are significances in the vowels and syllables and sounds that will be explained to you as you learn what they are through experience. [...] The vowels and syllables do affect you differently, not only as a group, but individually, and they are meant to. [...]

[...] A sentence is built up as words, parts of speech, verbs, and adjectives, subjects and predicates, vowels and syllables, and underneath there is the entire structure that allows you to speak or read to begin with. [...]

(11:22.) While you can only speak one sentence at a time, and in but one language, and while that sentence must be sounded one vowel or syllable at a time, still it is the result of a kind of circular knowledge or experience in which the sentence’s beginning and end is known simultaneously. [...]

[...] It never occurs to him to wonder how many vowels or syllables, words and sentences, paragraphs or pages might be involved. [...]

Again, it may seem too simple — but by applying the same methods to the body, the body’s health will be written with health and vitality, using blood and corpuscles, joints and ligaments and so forth instead of syllables, consonants, words and sentences.

and syllables.

2. A one-syllable man’s name—Art Kendall. [...]

[...] She stressed the syllables for the most part, as in the past, and her eyes were cracked open. [...]

[...] At times she’d stressed the syllables of words more than the words themselves; at other times she hadn’t.

[...] Vowels and syllables exist as light as validly as they exist as sound.

Vowels and syllables build up their own kind of (in quotes) “light pattern,” or light picture, again, that you do not perceive. [...]

(Very loud.) I want you to climb the vowels and syllables of this voice as if they were indeed a ladder, and let them carry you into dimensions that are native to you, dimensions that are yours by right, that are your heritage; (really booming) dimensions of awareness that you carry within you both day and night, beneath the level of your ordinary days. [...]

[...] One way of doing this would be to take several steps away from the language that you know to get into somewhat unfamiliar territory and to learn your way there, and then to be taken further down the primrose path where little by little the vowels and syllables themselves would disappear until you are at the pure sound and beneath that with true feeling. [...]

Now I bid you all a fond good evening, and I hope you meet many Sumari in your sleep and hopefully in the waking state and I hope that you read this session well, for when you see the words written down you will also hear what is between the words and hidden within the vowels and syllables. [...]

Climb up my words then, rush up the vowels and the syllables and let them form for you a ladder of energy by which you can send. [...]

[...] Each spoon that you touch, each flower that you rearrange, each syllable that you speak, each room you attend to, automatically brings you in touch with your natural feeling for the universe—for each object, however homey or mundane, is alive with changes and comprehension.

[...] He experienced some strain, feeling that each vowel and syllable was so drawn out, in your terms of time, that he must either slow down his own neurological workings to try to make some suitable adjustments. [...]

[...] Then it would take her many minutes to contend with a single syllable; her tongue worked persistently at the “sal” in “universal,” for example, but even so all that issued from her was an elongated hissing sound based upon the “s” alone.

[...] While Jane had been straining to compress a long syllable into something recognizable, the tape picked up little except distracting background noises: class people coughing, or moving about or shuffling papers; the sounds of traffic … But Jane and I take class events as they come. [...]

[...] The “secrets” of languages are not to be found, then, in the available sounds, accents, root words or syllables, but in the rhythms between the words; the pauses and hesitations; the flow with which the words are put together, and the unsaid inferences that connect verbal and visual data.

[...] Malba’s pronunciation was something like Deka-tur, with the accent on the first syllable.

[...] We taught man to speak before the tongue knew syllables. [...]

Now your physical body is a field of energy with a certain form, however, and when someone asks you your name, your lips speak it — and yet the name does not belong to the atoms and molecules in the lips that utter the syllables. [...]

(Long pause, eyes closed.) Such attitudes and dire misinterpretations often occur as mistakes in reading life, as if you insert an extra vowel or syllable that does not belong, but change the interpretation of an entire passage. [...]

[...] A one-syllable name, man’s, beginning with J. Joe. [...]
