A Seth Reader

In 1963, Jane Roberts, an intelligent and somewhat skeptical writer and college graduate, began to receive a series of communications from "an energy essence personality" who called himself Seth. Psychic investigator Richard Roberts has chosen from some 3,000 pages the most thought-provoking and helpful of Seth words from eight Seth books ranging from The Seth Material (1970) to the last book Dreams, "Evolution," and Value Fulfillment (1986). Among the topics are the nine "families of consciousness, the evolution of Earth and its creatures, how thoughts form reality, how we create our lives from the dream state, the illusion of time, simultaneous incarnations, "probable" alternate selves, unknown realities, the three "Christs," and the eternal validity of the soul. Introduction: "A Brief History of Channeling."

Jane Roberts was born in 1929 and died in 1984. In addition to the "Seth" series of channeled books, she wrote fiction which dramatized Seth's concept of how one forms his or her own reality, for example The Education of Oversoul 7 and also Emir's Education in the Proper Use of Magical Powers.
