Book Description

One of the most powerful of the Seth Books, this essential guide to conscious living clearly and powerfully articulates the furthest reaches of human potential, and the concept that we all create our own reality according to our individual beliefs. Having withstood the test of time, it is still considered one of the most dynamic and brilliant maps of inner reality available today.

5 out of 5 stars Seth the Speaker.......2007-07-13

This book was a mind blowing experience for me. Even if none of it were true, just the "thoughts" associated with processing this book created for me an incredible journey of probabilities and possibilities! I feel compelled to share some of the highlighted pieces of wisdom/truths as follows:
- Familiar with the term "Muscle Bound", we as a species have grown "Ego Bound".
- Evil does not exist. However, the closest description of what it is......is "ignorance".
- During "sleep" we leave our bodies to explore other portions of ourselves, other dimensions, other realities and other probable selves.
- During "sleep" we start out meeting our true selves at a non symbolic "spiritual" level and then digress towards "archetypes" and then to "symbols" of which we as a species for the most part remember only fragments in the morning.
- During "sleep" we can accomplish more than when we are "awake".
- During "sleep" we are more "awake" than when we are "awake".
- Thoughts are things. This is the nature of reality.
- "Ghosts" are thought-forms sent by survival personalities out of lingering deep anxiety.
- Judas represented a "self-betrayer" fragment of the Christ.
- Time and space is an illusion. It is a camouflage. It is a lie. What we perceive as the physical world "pulses" or blinks. In between the blinks exist other realities and probable selves/fragments.
- We individually and as a species create our own realities or illusions. We create matter and not the other way around.
- We as individuals and a species select our own physical lives that is acted out as "drama". All the world is a stage.
- Christ will come for a second time. However, his second coming will be as strange to the Christians as his first coming was to the Jews. "He will return to straighten out Christianity, which will be in a shambles at the time of his arrival, and to set up a new system of thought when the world is sorely in need of one." This divine thought system is available now. It exists as A Course In Miracles or ACIM.
- The "Christ" existed as three (3) personalities. They were John the Baptist (prepared the way), Historical Jesus (presented the spiritual ideals) and Paul (was to set up a framework of "ideas"). Paul failed.
- "The Hebrew God became a symbol of man's unleashed ego."

The greatest chapter is "The Meaning of Religion" but don't read that until you read it in the proper sequence or it will make no sense.
I found many similarities to the Edgar Cayce material but the Seth material is so much easier to read. While it is easy to read it is not easy to accept. I found myself stopping to absorb what it was I was experiencing and then after settling down a bit I continued on.
I am definitely happy with this book and will read the next subsequent Seth Book.
And finally the biggest mind blower is that Seth states that the crucifixion was a "psychic event" and Christ was not physically crucified. To me it appears that the historical physical event played out similar to what is contained in the Nag Hammadi Library tractate called "Apocalypse of Peter". Specifically the references to the "Laughing Christ".

Truth. If you seek this, within the deep mysterious of your own underworld of dreams, this book is for you.

This material doesn't really need any justification. If the ideas within fit with you, you will know to buy it. It was only by what seemed like a series of rare coincidences that I came across it. If you have made it this far, then maybe it is a forgone conclusion...

5 out of 5 stars Seth is the man (I'm not celia blumenthal, but her son).......2007-01-20

I read a fortune cookie that said "the philsophy of one century is the common sense of the next." This is so applicable to the Seth information, especially with the advent of quantum mechanics and string theory in the past 50 or so years. What is so great about the Seth books is that if you put the information into practice, the validity of his philosphy will be subjectively self-evident. No one can tell you that Seth is lying because you have expereienced it as true, so it becomes irrefutable. I was born Jewish, raised on an Ashram (Siddha Yoga), and my uncle is Gerald Epstein. I've read books on Buddhism, Hinduism, Zen, String Theory, Quantum Physics, taken a bunch of pyschadelics, and, as others have, explored the thinking of innumerable philosophers and spiritual teachers. All I can say is that after reading Seth, it seems like theres nothing left for anybody to say for the rest of existence. It is without a doubt, as so many others have affirmed in these reviews, the most in-depth, comprehensive, extensive and enlightening view of reality that has ever been published or available. Everything fits; it all makes sense. Beliefs creating reality is the king of philosophies, because all other religions and philosophies are beliefs in and of themselves. Im not saying that Seth is the only way to Truth; certainly, other books have influenced my thinking, but they have been tangential to Seth's teachings, and everytime I read something I always check it against Seth's take on the issue. Even string theory, straightforward according to physicists, is so align with Seth's information that it seems almost too good to be true; but it is, of course. I predict that when physicists are able to directly measure string vibrations, there will be experiments done on the strings in our bodies and how our thoughts affect their vibrations. We are perceiving a frequency of reality...this is just a fact. If you told that to people 100 years ago, the skeptics would laugh at you. Jane Roberts, as someone with little to no knowledge of string theory or quantum mechanics (based on her proffesion as a poet), seems unlikely to have conjured up this information from her imagination to make people beleive some kind of twisted, too-good-to-be-true lie....skeptics are skeptics for the sake of being skeptics. I know Seth is true because I have EXPEREIENCED it as true...no one can convince me otherwise at this point. People are so afraid of themselves, and its so sad, because no one wants to take responsibility for their lives or the state of this world...and thats exactly why the world is currently so mislead and in the dark. I hope one day, if the world is still around by then, when everybody knows this information, we can all unabashedly be the Gods that we are, and respect the miracle of ourselves and the holiness of this world. And, for those of you who dont need to be convinced because you have also experienced it as true, my blessings go out to you; you are the conscious creators of our world, and your energy will kindle affirmations of Godhood within the hearts of many lost souls...Spread the love baby!

4 out of 5 stars New Age Philosophy.......2007-01-15

First, I want to note that I am not a member of the 'new age' movement. That said, I am fascinated by various understandings of reality. I 'read around' as an avocation. Seth/Roberts here (and in the many other books in which Jane Roberts allegedly 'channeled' the Spirit of Seth) demonstrates a philosophical sensibility in that one hears, here and there, echoes of puzzles (aporias) that have haunted philosophy since the beginning. In this review I simply want to mention some of the most typical, but extraordinary, assertions of Seth/Roberts (henceforth I will simply type 'Seth') with some (hopefully useful) comments. This review is intended for people outside new age or occult circles, by someone also outside them, in order to give a brief description and, even more briefly, hopefully to show that there are occasional aspects of this authors work that continue (or derive from) philosophical theories that interest them. Of all the modern occult or new age books I've read (mostly on the floor of the local Barnes & Noble superstore) I've found these books to be the most intelligent and interesting.

Several things will stand out on the first reading of these texts:

1.) The sense of self-empowerment this book intends to bring to its readers is the first thing one might notice. Consciousness makes reality, including the physical world. You are responsible for the world you inhabit. There is no victimization, you chose the scenario you are currently living through. This reminds one of a remark of Nietzsche: "Siamo contenti? Son dio ho fatto questa caricatura!" ('Are we content? I am the god who has made this caricature!') - But, according to Seth we create badly; that is, we make what we did not intend to make. - That is why we incarnate, to learn how to create responsibly. It would seem that the only rule for Seth is don't do anything that brings forth consequences you don't want to face.
2.) According to Seth there is, at the deepest level, no Time. It is an illusion that we (souls incarnating in the material world) have agreed to live by. By 'no time' Seth means that everything is happening simultaneously. Technically, one could perhaps say that every instant is endless, but one must immediately add that every instant brings forth new instances. Or, to put it another way, the absence of Time must not be construed to mean that there is not an accumulation of experience. Also of note, since there is no time one can have 'backwards' reincarnations - that is, you or I could elect, in our 'next life', to reincarnate in the Renaissance!
3.) Creativity is a key concept (if not the key concept) for Seth. At one and the same time the Whole is Itself and It is also changing. Everything happens simultaneously (there is no time) but the contents of this 'everything' is always increasing. In a formula one could say that Being = Becoming + Creativity. In fact, this Creativity seems to demand that ALL possible occurrences will somewhere occur. In other words, everything that can happen will happen; even if only in some alternate (or probable) Reality.
4.) Obviously, as with all reincarnation theories that I am aware of, Seth teaches that we are all immortal. However, one must understand precisely what immortality means for Seth. The appearance of Seth II is wonderfully illuminating in this regard. Seth II (who appears in the 'Seth Material') is a 'later' (or possible) development of Seth himself. But so alien is the Seth II consciousness to the Seth consciousness that Seth II will say that he has never physically incarnated! But of course Seth freely speaks of his previous incarnations. Thus one is perhaps forced to conclude that for Seth 'immortality' means becoming what you absolutely are not. Just think how alien 'Seth 10,002' will be to Seth and Seth II! Or, in other terms, would Alexander the Great recognize himself in my cup because it contains an atom that was once in his body?
5.) From the above (i.e., becoming, creativity) it follows that there are countless 'realities' that are ontologically Real. One has the 'reality' one makes. Obviously, one should avoid making fearfully or stupidly. The centrality of the individual consciousness (or soul) is paramount in Seth. According to Seth, the Truth is truly within because we are all 'Gods'. But since we are all experiencing gods our 'truths' continually evolve. This eerily reminds one that Nietzsche speaks of the 'truth' of perspectivism but, of course, he does so in a non-supernatural manner.
6.) Seth's view of what one hesitantly calls 'physics' is, to many readers of Seth, similar to the 'many-worlds' interpretation and indeterminacy of quantum physics. In Seth's multiverse there are other (probable) selves, alternate pasts and futures, many physical universes and (for Seth) many spiritual realities.
7.) Note also that there are many hierarchies in Seth; not only are their probable selves (instances of the soul in other reincarnational dramas) but there is also an 'oversoul' that stands above the the various probable souls inhabiting different realities and learns from their experiences and also, more or less gently, directs this experience too.

This book represents (as far as I, an outsider, can tell) the bleeding edge of 'new age' speculation. In it, the author (Seth and/or Jane Roberts) introduces a new way of looking at the problem of cosmogenesis. We are all Gods: but this is no mere pantheism; we are all creative gods! Thus even now we all create our reality. Actually, it is better to say realities. Seth teaches that there are 'alternative' pasts and 'probable' futures that actually exist even though none of us ever have or ever will inhabit them. Such is the plenitude of Being for our author(s)! But this echoes, however obliquely, an ancient insight: as Parmenides said so long ago - there isn't anything that is not. I know, one is tempted to sneer at the sheer naiveté of all this. But one hears echos of the history of philosophy throughout the books of Seth. For instance, it was the German Idealists who first stepped beyond pantheism by insisting that Substance must also be active Spirit. Seth merely adds that Spirit must always be God. And what of us? We incarnating souls (Spirits) are now necessarily 'Gods' in training, or so Seth maintains. We are learning, by incarnating in the sublunary (i.e., material) world, to Create responsibly. One does come away, however, wondering exactly what responsibility might mean to Seth. Given the fact of the 'plenitude of Being' there is, strictly speaking, no evil. The spaciousness of the All-That-Is (a term of art in the Seth lexicon that more or less means All/God/Whole) has room enough to Willingly contain anything. To be sure, each existent entity has to deal with the consequences of what it makes - but, strictly speaking, consequences, no matter how unpleasant, are not an evil. Consequences are an educational tool! Indeed, since Seth also teaches that there are probable selves (other instantations of ourselves) living entirely different lives in other realities one wonders whether evil, and its responsibility, has any meaning at all... So, if it is an ontological necessity that every possibility be realized what could the term 'evil' possibly mean? One comes away from the books of Seth (or Roberts) feeling that morality has been replaced by ontology, and the moral imperative -do unto others as you would have them do unto you- has been replaced by an ontological imperative - just do something. The plenitude of Being requires our continual active creation! - Which means that, for Seth, the only 'Evil' is the Nothing of non-Being cum non-activity. The position of Seth can thus be said to be an inverted Buddhism...

I cannot recommend this book too highly. Tomlinson is thorough and thoughtful, with a real heart to see people healed and growing spiritually. He covers everything from the fine points of regression to the practicality of a client needing to use the toilet. I have read many texts on regression, and worked as a therapist. Tomlinson's book is one of the best on the subject. If you are going to do regression therapy, or if you are currently doing it, this book is a "must read".

Book Description

Internationally recognized expert and veteran of fifty trips to Rome, Frank Korn presents an insider's guide to the city. He describes not only the familiar churches, basilicas, and historic places, but also takes travelers on fascinating detours down back alleys to little-known, though very important sites. For both the public and the private Rome, he reveals the legends and traditions associated with each.

With a warm and engaging style, the author explains Jubilee Year background and ceremonies and offers Jubilee travelers meaningful alternatives to the typical sites with their expected three-times-heavier crowds. He also lists which church offers Mass in which language.

This guide is not only for Catholics but also helps travelers of other faiths appreciate a culture not their own. The author's storytelling style and invaluable facts, and the book's photos, maps, and index, make this a perfect choice for tourists and pilgrims, armchair travelers, priests and religious. It also offers "insider's info" that every travel agent and travel store will want to pass on to their customers.

I read this cover to cover before I went on my trip to Rome and I was
able to visit some of the lesser known churches that are not normally
on the guided tours like St Prassede, and St. Pudenziana. It includes
a great deal of the history of many of the churches and I HIGHLY
recommend it to any Catholic heading to Rome.

    5 out of 5 stars This book will suck out your soul!.......2004-07-21

    Not really, but somewhere there's a great tagline for an ad campaign for this book waiting to be used. Michael Moorcock has a gigantic catalog of novels and short stories, many of them dealing with his Multiverse concept, in which Law and Chaos constantly battle and a fellow known as the Eternal Champion tends to help sort it all out, with varying results. Back in the last decade White Wolf and Moorcock took most of the stories/novels, grouped them by character and concept and then put them out as a series of collections. This is the eleventh of those and second featuring Elric, perhaps Moorcock's most famous creation. While not my personal favorite of Moorcock's many characters (that honor goes to Jerry Cornelius, who I find has more personality) Elric definitely has a loyal following and his stories did a lot to nurse the then fairly low-key epic fantasy genre. Basically, Elric is a weak albino from a very old race that is dying out (and is quite evil) but he carries the magical sword Stormbringer that likes to suck the souls out of people (though Moorcock never says where the souls go, into the sword or straight to hell?), thus giving the sword and Elric vitality. Unfortunately, Elric has a very rough life and that makes him a somewhat dour person, since he's constantly caught between Law and Chaos (technically he's on Chaos' team though he swaps sides often). The stories in this volume depict the end of the Elric saga, when the war between Law and Chaos heats up on Elric's world and finally threatens to come to a conclusion. Moorcock's type of fantasy takes some getting used to, with a lot of really odd place names and bizarre monsters (some sound like they're straight out of Lovecraft) as well as some definitely odd situations. Elric himself seems to act more as an observer in most of these stories, trying to keep out of trouble. The earlier stories are typically the most formulaic (though brilliant for anyone else, as the cliche goes), since Elric generally has to fight Someone Bad and often saves the day by casting a spell or invoking the aid of some Old Elemental Spirit or just wading through crowds of people with his magical intelligent sword (oh by the way, it wants to kill all his friends too). Moorcock has definite style and flair when executing this kind of material but if you read them all at once there can be a definite sameness about them, where Elric just mopes and mopes and goes "wow is me" for chapters on end before getting attacked and summoning dragons or something to save him. The later stories (and Revenge of the Rose, which was written later) are much better, especially when they deal with the Multiverse directly, because the ideas and action and giant battles just keep coming, until it becomes a kind of sensory overload and toward the end of Stormbringer (the last story) everything gets all weird and metaphysical and it's just great. Moorcock can be lauded for bringing a mature sensibility to fantasy (Elric's a dour fellow but he has his passions) and for all of Elric's moping, he's far more memorable than most other fantasy characters. I won't go as far to say that these are his best work (again, I like the Cornelius stuff better and I haven't read Mother London or the Pyat novels yet) but for lovers of fantasy it's basically essential (if you can find them, the White Wolf editions went out of print and apparently command a high price, they must have been rare . . . the British editions are still available, I think) and no matter what you think of his style it's clearly one of the more original concepts in a genre that feels fit to merely repeat the work of a certain hobbit-loving author over and over again. Moorcock stands on his own and to understand fantasy at all, these books are required reading.

    4 out of 5 stars Random review.......2003-06-02

    A very good book, same with the first Elric. I can't rate it perfectly though as some of the stories have parts which sort of clash with my sense of taste ;) Though even then, if the elements seem bizarre to me, they fit in with Moorcock's multiverse and help paint it better. And some of the stories are simply excellent.

    I've introduced several friends (who normally don't read) to Elric and they've read the first text as well as the second. A good story with action elements with deep underlying themes, with fun stylistic device, but it's good even if you don't care about such things =)

    5 out of 5 stars Biggest brain in the multiverse!.......2002-01-27

    While others build mere worlds, Moorcock has built the multiverse. While many use his ideas, these days, he was the first to conceive the idea as it is used throughout fantasy fiction. Just as some of his books slowly unfold to show you ideas from different angles, so does he slowly reveal the multiverse. Read this and the three books in the War Amongst the Angels series and you will see what I mean. Moorcock was also the author who predicted Black Holes and a whole different cosmology to go with them, he spoke of the multiverse in terms of branches or branes on a tree, and science has continued to prove him right throughout his career. Moorcock is far more than a writer of fantastic adventure stories, but neither does he reject his own relish for the stuff and as a result he gives us books which, as adult, we can enjoy more and more. The literal minded consumer of mass production fantasy is probably going to need a lot more explanation than Moorcock provides. You just have to trust him, jump in anywhere, and let him carry you on a wild tide of adventure, character, philosophy and more! The ending of this sequence is famous. So it should be. There is nothing else as good, at least since Melmoth the Wanderer! (Actually, it's better than Melmoth the Wanderer).

    5 out of 5 stars STUNNING ENDING.......2002-01-11

    I was told by a friend that you had to trust Moorcock. Not only do his stories unfold rather like life, with new information coming in from new angles all the time, but they march towards the greatest dramatic conclusion in all fantasy. And this is where you'll find it, in STORMBRINGER, the final volume. You will be mightily rewarded with one of the most powerful literary fantasy stories you've ever picked up. And once you start reading him, it becomes fascinating -- because no writer has written so much at such a high level of literary ambition. Read his Jerry Cornelius stories, his Pyat novels or books like Mother London and you will know why Moorcock got the Grand Master award and why he has been winning prizes since his career began.

    3 out of 5 stars I would really love to see M.V.Cox and Michael coop........2001-10-09

    This novel by Moorcock was very good, but not great. I enjoyed it , this is true..but there is no love affair. I found his writing style exciting, but the story as a whole, lacked the luster I was anticipating. I would love to see Michael team up with a new author, M.V.Cox, who wrote Souls Eternal. Funny they seem to have many passions in commmon. I reviewed Souls Eternal and found it the work of a genius.I will continue to read Michael Moorcock,but I would love to see him team up with Michael V.Cox. I think they would reach the sky and beyond. I for one would read anything they put out..thank you.

    5 out of 5 stars notself.......2000-06-12

    To say that Buddhists do not believe in a soul is an overstatement. Some prefer to say that Buddhists believe in the Latinate "consciousness," as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon "soul." As I remember, early Buddhist theologians, and no, they were not monotheists, differentiated themselves from Hindus by coining the phrase "anatman," or not self, in distinction to the Hindu "atman," or self, to emphasize its lack of "inherent" existence, or existence outside of consciousness. They did not declare that they did not believe in the existence of an atman, or a self. Buddhist frequently must differentiate themselves from "Nihilists" on such matters. This books is good starting point for detangling this semantic knot, and resolving related, central issues for oneself in the process.

    5 out of 5 stars He is the Man. No doubt about it!.......1999-11-17

    I think that Dalai Lama is a Spiritual Leader regardless of the your or my Religion. He is a very smart guy and that is the reason why we have to read it. An Advise: Always read and Listen to the smart people. They have almost always something important to say that might change you life forever.

    1 out of 5 stars Garbled and misleading.......1999-09-27

    This is yet another example of a book allegedly by the Dalaia Lama which is in reality nothing more than an interview with him. In this case the interviewer is so muddled in his thinking that he hasn't even understood that Buddhism does not accept the existence of soul.

        5 out of 5 stars the most marvellous book i've ever read.......2003-06-06

        this book talks about twin souls and how u feel spiritually related to some poeple you meet. i've experienced alot of the feelings expressed in 'twin souls' i feel like it's guiding my life till this moment.
        'twin souls' is suitable for poeple who feel lonely and are looking for a comforting inspiration.
        Patricia Joudry and Maurie D. Pressman did an excellent job

        5 out of 5 stars This book fully explores how we yearn for the perfect mate........1998-12-05

        This was a very insightful,soul stirring piece of reading. I believe this book can help explain to others the dynamics of a "spiritual union". I myself have had whispers that perhaps I have encountered a most unexplainable meeting with a man in my life. What feelings I had when I met John were detailed in this book. I wish I had this book 9 years ago. The bliss of meeting someone who you feel you belong to helps to understand the reason for separation. To support a temple you need two strong pillars,each has a function to support the temple but there is spaces in their togetherness.When we pull down our veil of illusion we now see with our soul instead of just our eyes.

        5 out of 5 stars Twin Souls are unique. How to identify and find your own.......1998-08-24

        Souls are born from the iInfinite and descend in famillies, providing a feeling of unique familiarity when we meet a soul-family member in life.Twin souls are unique and near perfect partners who have emerged as twins from a single soul-cell. The book describes how to: elevate the personality to be ready for the twin, how to avoid false messages, how to complete the relationship - and then experiences after the meeting. These are experiences in the spritual world while living in the material realm.
