“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] You know all behind words, and in parts of you that are beyond speech. You do not need words. You do not need my words—but I speak them. I speak the words so you will realize you do not need them. [...]

There should never be a word in any language that means repentance. There should only be a word that means, “I bless,” for when you bless you do not need to repent. [...]

[...] Let the inner intuitive sense speak for it is the inner voice, and the magic that unites you has no need of conscious words. [...]

[...] I want you to feel my words imprinted where you cannot take notes safely in a notebook. [...]

We should perhaps differentiate between thoughtwords and speech, or spoken words. [...] They do not need the spoken word. Even thought communication however need not necessarily follow the form of words. There can be thought without words (smile),in other words.

Now words belong to your particular time system. [...] The inner self however is not so limited, as you know, and inner communications continue always beneath words. Word structures and language itself bears a unique mathematical precision. [...]

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

[...] Those alive in your terms rely at least outwardly on the spoken word. [...]

I just got the word Bainbridge... [...] To the 9th—not sure of the word here—to the 9th power or degree. [...]

[...] Jane said she wasn’t aware of any particular source for the data—she was “trancey” and the words just came in. [...] She didn’t know if she got all the words right, but did as well as she could. [...]

[...] (Jane said to put the word integers in parentheses, since she wasn’t sure of what word to use there.)

[...] In other words, our contacts with math have been about average, we estimate.

[...] He has no need for words and he has no need to proclaim himself, for he speaks without the necessity for words and he is heard. Those who are really heard have no need for words. I speak to you now in words because without words now, there would not be the necessary understanding that must be reached before I can become wordless.

Now I speak from several layers, though the word “speak" is a poor one, I turn myself, you see, into steps down which I walk and the steps represent what you would term personality fragments, though the term is distortive. [...]

[...] If you know who you are, you do not need these words.

[...] To be speaks louder than words.

[...] Now from my own field of reality I focus my attention toward the woman, but the words that she speaks — these words upon the pages — are not initially verbal at all.

In the first place, language as you know it is a slow affair: letter by letter strung out to make a word, and words to make a sentence, the result of a linear thought pattern. [...]

Ruburt makes his verbal knowledge available for our use, and quite automatically the two of us together cause the various words that will be spoken. [...]

[...] Words used told a story, yet certain words had a different meaning than the literal interpretation of the word. Certain key words in other words, if you will forgive me, were highly symbolic, and if you read the Bible along one surface line then you read a story highly ambiguous, called by many, but if you understood the meaning of the Word, as divorced from the literal interpretation of the Word, then you read an allegory and the allegory was highly important. [...]

[...] It does not think, ah, there is a bad (word missing) in Elmira, New York and, by God and Jesus Christ, we are going to save her for her own sake. [...]

Oh, now we want a time element and some (words missing). [...]

[...] The word condensed is extremely important in that context. [...]

(9:19.) Words are used to tell of an experience, but they obviously are not the experience that they attempt to describe. Your physical subjective experience is so involved with word thinking, however, that it is almost impossible for you to conceive of an experience that is not thought-word oriented.

[...] The soul, in other words, has created a world for you to inhabit, to change — a complete sphere of activity in which new developments and indeed new forms of consciousness can emerge.

[...] There is, in other words, a give and take between souls or entities, and no end of possibilities, both of development and expansion. [...]

[...] You may not be able to put your knowledge clearly into words, but this will in no way negate the value or the validity of the experience that will be yours once you begin to look inward.

[...] Jane sat quite still for some few moments; when I noticed her seeming to grope for words, soundlessly moving her lips, I felt Seth’s entity would give the session. The air cooler was on, and the entity’s first words were hard to hear—I had to lean close. [...]

[...] (pause), we are not sure of the word... [...]

[...] Jane’s lips moved over soundless words several times. [...]

(Jane said the new personality wasn’t as familiar with words as she herself is. [...]

[...] (Smile.) Such laws that might be proclaimed in so many words. They are attempts to explain in words the nature of the inner reality that forms All That Is. [...]

As words would tell little, or give small hint of the reality of sound or color to someone who did not experience these, so the words used can only give insight into the nature of reality. [...]

[...] This represented energy; Jane felt that it stopped with her, that she soaked up energy from it and the words then came out. She said she had also felt the cone on Monday; and through the terrific energy it contained the words poured out of her.

You must understand that in a good measure much of our material is an attempt to put into words concepts and ideas that are far too vast for any such translation.

[...] But then you do not need words either. [...] (This sentence was written in the margin of the Yale copy.) It is only you that believe you need words, otherwise I would not have to deal with them and words can be very deceiving and quite confusing. I should tell you that while I use the word telepathy we do not communicate in mental words. We do not need words, mental or otherwise. Thoughts in your terms suggest words and we do not need words. [...]

(To Arnold.) (Words lost) he gets confused, but I do not get confused. [...]

[...] These are the energies that allow you to sit as you do upright in the chair when you do not consciously know how your muscles hold you up; and when you begin to speak you do not know consciously with what word your sentence will end; nor do you consciously know how you speak nor indeed from where the thought comes. [...]

We do not use such words as condone. [...]

Now unless you come to terms with your own doubts about yourselves then you will have no idea what faith is and when I use the word faith, I am not speaking in religious terms. [...] You are all hampered, in other words, by doubts. [...]

I use words because presently they make sense to you but hopefully behind the words that I speak, you sense the inner vitality which has no need for them and hopefully listening to me, you sense, if only dimly, the wisdom of the self within each of you that is triumphant in its own wisdom, its own spontaneous freewheeling wisdom upon which your intellect rests. [...]

([Joel:] “Yes, because I was thinking of an event rather than words, but you picked up on the words rather than the event.”)

[...] That is wisdom and it does not need words and it formed your intellect. [...]

[...] Do not attempt to translate the words that you hear into words that you know. [...] In other words, simply accept an experience. [...] So feel free, in other words, to do whatever you feel like doing. [...]

(To Bette.) And for our friend over here, Richelieu’s cousin, neither are you supposed to know what each word of Sumari language means. You are to use the words again as stepping stones and that is all. [...]

[...] It is a word that we have coined for a state of being and you can use any term that you prefer. [...]

[...] Try, in other words, to feel what you want to do at a given time. [...]

[...] There are, in other words, much in the material, impetus points that will send you into other realities if you allow them to and yet within the material there is always a framework to which you can return (to Rachel) as our friend returns. [...]

[...] There is, in other words, an answer to the why. [...]

[...] One word here and it is something that I have said rather recently in another class. [...]

[...] The words you have said, I have said to myself, with certain meanings, but I don’t know. [...]

Initially language had nothing to do with words, and indeed verbal language emerged only when man had lost a portion of his love, forgotten some of his identification with nature, so that he no longer understood its voice to be his also. [...]

[...] At that stage no words or even images were needed. [...]

[...] If that original language had words, the equivalent would be: “As a tree, I observe myself.”

[...] Through your words their reality is amplified, in the same way that man’s emotions once found amplification through the physical elements.

though it speaks without words,

(Long pause.) Also, again, to tell him that regardless of the session’s words, new nuances and motions are carried by the session itself.

(4:30 p.m. I’d had to ask Jane to repeat several words, so quiet was her dictation. [...]

[...] The word “revelation” came to mind and I tried to dismiss it, yet the word was apt. [...]

[...] My body sat at the table, my hands furiously scribbling down the words and ideas that flashed through my head. [...]

[...] We learn by viewing our own creations, in other words. [...]

[...] The mouth creates words. [...]

[...] And you will all learn what true communication is, for you will learn to communicate in various levels of consciousness and you will learn to listen to me in various levels of consciousness, and you will learn to know me in various levels of consciousness so that you can see (feel?)[sic] beneath the words as well as hear the surface of the words. [...]

Now I have a few words for you. [...]

The secret is the word press. [...]

Think of the interpretation of the word press. [...]

[...] Jane said this data referred to the printed envelope object, even though she used the word script instead of type. I was wondering if her use of the word script was a reference to the note sent in connection with the object, but Jane said no. [...] She had an image here, of small even words on a rectangular shape; but my questioning could not elicit whether she could distinguish, here, between type, script, etc., on this rectangular shape. She merely knew there were words present.

[...] I was trying to get the word war to Ruburt. I wanted the word war in the plural; however the plural gave him the idea of the number, which was blended with the sound of war, into four.

[...] Beside the word “wars” there, we see the words “for” and “foreign.” [...]

[...] The survival personality does not think in terms of words, but experiences concepts in a much more direct manner. [...]

Then you were told that you had to put those letters together to make words. Again you made many mistakes, and forgot them as with delight you now wrote separate words. Then you were told to put the words into sentences, and you followed the same procedure. [...]

[...] Word by careful word:

[...] In other words, I told Jane, she doesn’t have to surmount any physical debilitating disease that has bacteria or germs or microbes attached to it, and is labeled “incurable.”

(She lay back upon her bed and pillow, half crying at times, speaking with a choked voice often, and once again with a different rhythm — one broken by long pauses every few words, as yesterday.)
