WHO IS SETH?
Jane Roberts was an American author, psychic and trance medium who “channeled” a personality named Seth. The publication of the Seth texts established her as one of the preeminent figures in the world of paranormal phenomena. In addition to metaphysical texts, she was an author of short stories, novels, children’s literature, and various philosophical texts.
In late 1963, Jane Roberts and her husband, Robert Butts, experimented with a Ouija board as part of Jane’s research for a book on extra-sensory perception. On December 2, 1963 they began to receive coherent messages from a personality who eventually identified himself as Seth. Soon after, Jane reported that she was hearing the messages in her head. She began to dictate the messages instead of utilizing the Ouija board. For 21 years until Jane’s death in 1984, Jane held regular sessions in which she went into a trance and spoke on behalf of the entity Seth. Robert Butts wrote down the messages, although some were recorded. Collectively the sessions are frequently referred to as the Seth Material.
Beginning with the 511th session in January 1970, Seth began to dictate his own books through Jane. The Seth material covers a wide variety of topics, including the nature of physical reality, the origins of the universe, the theory of evolution, the Christ story, the nature of God, and the purpose of life.
“Seth is the internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher who spoke through the author Jane Roberts while she was in trance, and coined the phrase “You Create Your Own Reality.” Seth’s empowering message literally launched the New Age movement.
The books written by Seth have sold over seven million copies and have been translated into over eleven languages. Seth’s clear presentation of the furthest reaches of human potential, the eternal validity of the soul, and the concept that we create our own reality according to our beliefs, has rippled out to affect the lives of people in every corner of the globe. Seth’s voice clearly stands out as one of the major forces which led to the current New Age philosophical movement. His work (first published in the late 1960s) has withstood the test of time and is still the most dynamic, comprehensive, brilliant and undistorted map of inner reality and human potential available today.
If you want answers to life’s most important questions, if you want to improve your life conditions, Seth will show you how, not by relying on him, but by accessing and using the tremendous source of power and wisdom that lies within you.”
