From Back Dust Jacket"When you give yourself suggestions that you will remember your dreams, many of you do not mean it.... You can give yourself suggestions for centuries and say, 'I will remember my dreams,' while at the same time you think, 'Dreams are a part of me I do not want to know.'"You must believe in the power and energy and strength and glory of your being, and know that problems are challenges for you to solve. Then face them joyfully, knowing that when" you know your entire self, waking or sleeping, you will be pleased—as in the old legend. God was pleased when he created the world."Do not cower before your belief that the inner self is frightening or that there are bad things hidden down there. Tell yourself that there is nothing in yourself to be afraid of. And again, this applies to all of you."—from Volume Two of CONVERSATIONS WITH SETHFrom Dust jacket Flaps"You make your reality—or you do not. And if you do not, then you are everywhere a victim. That is the only other alternative to forming your own reality! [Either} everything has a reason, or nothing has a reason. So— choose your side."—Seth, in a conversation with a research scientistIn the first volume of CONVERSATIONS WITH SETH, Susan M. Watkins began the mind-bending account of Jane Roberts's ESP Class. Now she concludes her account with an examination of Class's heyday, when students began taking Seth's precepts seriously and testing them in daily life.The results were startling, as parameters of physical existence became more tolerant and elastic. Class members sighted outlandish birds, logged out-of-body travels, experienced startling incidents in which time seemed to collapse, and recorded "True Dreams from the Gates of Horn"—all subject, of course, to analysis on the following Tuesday night.Seth also greatly expanded the notion of personal selfhood. In Class, many students met their counterparts—other portions of the same source-self or entity, simultaneously reincarnated on earth. In addition, many students encountered their own probable selves—parallel individuals who had followed other "unofficial" paths of development.Here you'll find Seth's advice for good health and self-healing, his observations on cannibalism and Christ, religion and drugs, spontaneity and the draft... Class's stunned reaction to his tip, "If it isn't fun, stop doing it"... and his tireless (if not always patient) efforts to make students take responsibility for the realities they created.After her move from the West Water Street apartment, Jane Roberts discontinued Class. But as Ms. Watkins documents, her students' independent evolution only confirms Seth's precept that learning is endless; and that simple desire and curiosity are enough to attract an infinity of new colleagues, new challenges—and new solutions. With drawings made in class by George Rhoads, this book is the capstone to a full understanding of Jane Roberts's work.SUSAN M. WATKINS has worked as a reporter, interviewer, and newswrker. In Conversations With Seth, she has "tried to maintain a balance between metaphysics and manic behavior." She lives with her son, Sean, in Dundee, New York.(Unknown Source)You cannot help creating any more than you can help breathing; and when you breathe no longer, you still create. You cannot escape your own creations. It is not death any of you have to worry aboutit is your own creations, and you cannot blame your own creations upon any god or any fact or any predestination! YOU CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY. Seth, Conversations with Seth, book 2 Picking up where book 1 left off, we continue our adventures with Jane Roberts and her ESP class members as they converse, wrangle, and debate with Seth and each other about the practical application of the theory that we each create our own reality. Its the 1970s and the names and places may be distant memories, but the issues remain as fresh and relevant as ever: homosexuality and sex and gender issues (remember Anita Bryants anti-gay campaign?); political and religious fanaticism; man-made drugs versus natural stimulants and remedies; the role of religion, biblical texts, and God in our culture and around the world; premonition dreams involving mass eventsthese are but a few of the topics covered. And, in a series of powerful therapy sessions, Seth gives pointed personal advice to three class members: one regarding a marriage in crisis, another a chronic health issue, and another, an artist wondering why he cant make a living doing what he loves. By exploring, with humor and intelligence, these timeless issues, Seth, Jane Roberts, Sue Watkins, and class members help us understand both the theory and practical application of You create your own reality. Susan Watkins has accomplished an immeasurable task in chronicling the time she spent in the company of Jane Roberts and Seth, who together produced one of the most amazing bodies of metaphysical literature of our time. She tells the story from the point of view of the novice and so takes us with her as we discover the "Seth" within us all. Reading Conversations with Seth is the next best thing to having actually been there ourselves.
