Do the living appear to the dead, as they say the dead do to the living, and as easily as those squirrels appeared to me, seemingly out of nowhere; or isn&#8217;t there any correlation?<\/p>\n<p>Yet those squirrels and pigeons are as miraculous as any vision. A ghost could understand my talk at least I suppose he would \u2014 while the solid squirrel, so bristly and alive in this real world would chatter in his own language and not hear a thing I say. So nature is as alien in its way as ghosts or apparitions, and the squirrels as magical as that tree I saw whose sounds spun themselves into fruit.<\/p>\n<p>For all I know, perhaps the jay&#8217;s noisy squawks drop into the air in glimmering forms and shapes right now, that I don&#8217;t see but only hear. How strange, and who knows where this is leading to?&#8221; &#8220;It isn&#8217;t leading an^-^^here,&#8217;* the soul says. **That*s the point. The alien and the natural are one, the squirrels and visions, rising in the sudden world, as the tree was, that splendidly emerged within your head.<\/p>\n<p>You saw each when you wanted to, and both exist at once.&#8221; &#8220;But \u2014 real squirrels don&#8217;t scramble down imaginary trees,&#8221; the mortal self says, annoyed at feeling some relief as it thinks of this, &#8220;And invisible squirrels don&#8217;t play in that real oak tree.&#8221; The soul smiles. &#8220;You wouldn&#8217;t see them if they did.&#8221; The mortal self shakes its head and says, &#8220;Oh, come now, you don&#8217;t mean ghost squirrels?&#8221; &#8216;Who said ghosts?&#8221; the soul replies, &#8220;Real squirrels, though not physical clamping padded paws in wood and bark and sliding through air&#8217;s open gaps, living but invisible, still there though their bodies may have died a year ago at Christmastide.<\/p>\n<p>The worlds are merged and overlapped, and each moves through the other, so that even standing still you move through worlds invisible.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;One of the most beautiful and understanding insights into death I have ever read&#8221; -Fate Magazine drawings by ROBERT F BUTTS Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2011 http:\/\/www.archive.org\/details\/dialoguesofsoulmOOrobe DIALOGUES OF THE SOUL AND MORTAL SELF IN TIME Books by Jane Roberts THE SETH MATERIAL SETH SPEAKS: The Eternal Validity of the Soul THE EDUCATION OF OVERSOUL 7 THE NATURE OF PERSONAL REALITY: A Seth Book ADVENTURES IN CONSCIOUSNESS: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology DIALOGUES OF THE SOUL AND MORTAL SELF IN TIME PSYCHIC POLITICS: An Aspect Psychology Book THE &#8221;UNKNOWN&#8221; REALITY: A Seth Book (Volume 1) THE WORLD VIEW OF PAUL CEZANNE THE AFTERDEATH JOURNAL OF AN AMERICAN PHILOSOPHER In Preparation: THE &#8220;UNKNOWN&#8221; REALITY: A Seth Book (Volume 2) THE NATURE OF THE PSYCHE: A Seth Book DIALOGUES OF THE SOUL AND MORTAL SELF IN TIME by Jane Roberts drawings by Robert F.<\/p>\n<p>Butts PRENTICE-HALL, INC., Englewood Cliflfs, N.

All of us do. Poetry has always been the voice of the inner self, the carrier of revelations, dreams, and visions that often defy expression in ordinary prose.<\/p>\n<p>Poetry and altered states of consciousness have always gone hand in hand. It&#8217;s when our perceptions are most vivid and striking that we break out into song, and resort to rhythm, written or spoken. It&#8217;s whenever we&#8217;re transported by emotion or insight that we leap beyond usual language use, to seek expression in a form that can transcend the seeming boundaries of noun and verb, subject and predicate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
