j.f.a., 1/3/2002 truth seeking
although i had read vague mentions of the book as early as the '70's, until i "discovered" it by chance in '99, i had no idea what it was about. It hit me like a "thunderbolt"! i had been searching for the truth for so long, thinking deeply and reading and delving into various religious philosophies without finding more than scraps of what i recognised and accepted as such. seth's reading confirmed to me many of the conclusions i had come to on my own and added a bottomless well of information. it all made perfect sense to me. the sense of excitement was/is extraordinary! i keep wanting to know more and try to remember it all, there is so much. "the truth will set you free" a speaker guide said long ago. it is begining to liberate me. if you hunger for knowledge free of dogma, try it! the least it will do, is make you think.
T., 08/23/97, Question Reality
One of the most influencial books I've read in my life. Not an easy read, but
it really expands ones ideas of what reality might be about.
With a physics background, I found it compatible with my scientific beliefs. Tables aren't solid, reality is much more complex than most people want to understand. Open your mind.
J.M, 06/18/97, Reader Beware!
"Seth Speaks..." is a reprint of a book published in the middle
1970s. Seth is a discarnate "acendent master" who no longer habitates
our "plane of consciencness". Although he does not have a need
for a physical body he apparently has a need to "channel" through
Jane Roberts body with information about the "true nature of reality"
and the collected wisdom of the ages. This book may contain elements of
metaphysical truth. However, do not be beguiled into accepting deception
because it is also mixed with truth!
This book, along with a tape of one of the "Seth" sessions, convinced me that Seth is a real personality. I was also modivated to put down the book and discontinue my investigations into metaphysical "truth". This communication from beyond the grave is a message spoken with forked tongue and with evil intent. Reader beware!
A.T., 02/25/97, An excellent "westernized"
overview of consiousness.
When the book was first recommended to me by friends, I was skeptical about
a book that was "channeled" from a being not currently on Earth.
After reading it, however, I found the concepts too fascinating to ignore.
The style of writing can be distracting; alternating between the events
that are happening during dictation (channeling) and the text of the dictation.
The content of the material from Seth, however, is excellent and thoroughly
thought provoking. It also rings true for me somewhere deep inside. I have
read this book three times now over the last 10 years and always find something
new and valuable. I highly recommend reading Seth Speaks, especially for
anyone who finds the Western scientific model flawed and incomplete.
G., 10/14/96, SETH TACKLES THE SOUL
ORIGINALLY PICKING THIS BOOK UP ONLY BECAUSE MY NAME IS SETH I BECAME ENTRANCED
IN THE DEEP NATURE OF THE SUBJECT. IN A WAY UNIQUE TO THE SETH SERIES A
WOMAN NAME JANE CLAIMS SHE IS BEING CONTACTED THROUGH A "BEING"
CALLED SETH. SETH TELLS HER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE, INCLUDING THE EVERLASTING
SOUL. IT IS AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE. DESPITE
BEING ON THE BORDER OF AN INTERSTING READ AND A OFF COLOR READ, SETH SPEAKS
TO US AND MAKES US THINK.
