Seth, Dreams and Projection of Consciousness |
The
Nature of Personal Reality: A Seth Book (1974)
Seth's second book. A prerequisite to any further study of the Seth
material. In it Seth offers an expanded view of how our bodies constantly
recreate themselves, and how the events in our lives are created in line
with conscious beliefs and suggestions. Seth also suggests many techniques
and exercises for applying the concept of the time-and space-free human
personality to whatever difficulti es in which we may find ourselves.
The
"Unknown" Reality, Volumes I & II (1977/1979)
Seth's third and fourth books. They offer a fuller explanation of the
"unknown" dimensions of ourselves, with exercises that can help us become
more familiar with them and thus enrich both our lives and the world in
which we live. Cross-references to other of Seth's writings plus extensive
annotation by Rob.
The
Nature of the Psyche: Its Human Expression (1979)
Seth's fifth book. Who "I" am is explained through a discussion of
the mobility of consciousness as distinct from the body. Our relationships
with other people--including sexual relationships--are explored as ways
in which we can develop fully. Exercises are suggested to assist the reader
to experience the concepts. Transcribed and edited by Rob.
The
Individual and the Nature of Mass Events: A Seth Book (1981)
In his sixth book, Seth tells us how groups of individuals and societies
create their own realities as they produce war and peace; epidemics and
good health; geological phenomena such as earthquakes; the weather; technological
catastrophes, like Three-Mile Island; and group movements, like the mass
suicide by followers of Jim Jones. Seth stresses the power of the individual
to choose whether to participate in mass decisions or to follow a separate
course. Transcribed and edited by Rob.
Dreams,
"Evolution," and Value Fulfillment, Volumes I & II (1986)
These seventh and eighth Seth books recount the "evolution" of material
reality moment by moment from the dream state into its manifestation as
our physical environment. Seth also describes the goal towards which each
aspect of the whole of All That Is is working: value fulfillment. As in
previous Seth books, Robert Butts provides notes and commentaries. His
Introductory Essays give an ac count of Jane's final illness and the reasons
for the immense physical difficulties which she suffered.
The
Magical Approach (1995)
Dictated by Seth in 1980, this sessies of sessions was gathered into
publication form by Rob Butts approximately 10 years after Jane's death.The
sessions were given by Seth in an effort to help Jane tap into her ability
to heal herself. He urges her (and all of us) to adopt a mindset more in
keeping with natural inclinations, and calls this approach the "magical"
one as compared to the usual rational one used in our society. Seth encourages
us to listen to our inner voices, to heed our impulses, to live spontaneously,
and to focus with intent and joyful expectation on what we desire to bring
into our lives. A classic example of Seth's perspective, this book is a
welcome addition to his reality creation material. Includes artwork by
Rob.
The Way Toward
Health (1997)
The last of the Seth-dictated books, it was written from Jane's hospital
bed over the months preceding her death. The material in this book was
evoked by the questions and considerations Jane and Rob faced during her
long illness, and becomes an in-depth examination of the miracle of life
in the human body. It also becomes the poignant story of Jane's courageous
attempt to understand the crippling condition she had contracted and see
the role it played in her life.
How to Develop
Your ESP Power (1966)
Inspired by Jane's first paranormal experience, this book is a set
of exercises to help develop one's ESP abilities. The book is illustrated
by Jane's accounts of her experiences and those of her husband Rob, the
artist Robert F. Butts. It was while trying out the exercises that Seth
contacted Jane for the first time. Throughout the book, she gives quotations
from his earliest communications.
The
Seth Material (1970)
The first popular Seth/Jane book, this is an account of how Seth first
appeared in the lives of Jane and Rob; it contains their doubts, self-questionings,
and tests of him. Excerpts from their early sessions with him sketch the
outlines of the world view that he was shortly to present more fully in
his own works.
The
Education of Oversoul Seven (1973)
Now republished as part of the Oversoul Seven Trilogy
This novel was written by Jane in a state of altered consciousness.
Seth's concept of the time-and-space-free personality is developed in a
lively and entertaining story.
Adventures
in Consciousness: An Introduction to Aspect Psychology(1975)
The first part of this book consists of Jane's account of her increased
awareness of some of the aspects of her greater self, together with similar
discoveries on the part of members of the ESP class that she held every
Tuesday night in her home from 1967 to 1975. The second part of the book
is her explanation of these paranormal happenings according to Seth's ideas
and her ow n intuitions. Helpful diagrams by Rob Butts.
Dialogues of the Soul and Mortal
Self in Time* (1975)
The poems in this volume are a moving presentation of Jane's inner
conflict between her knowledge that her body must decay, and her sense
of living in eternity. Powerful illustrations by Rob.
Psychic
Politics: An Aspect Psychology Book (1976)
A sequel to Adventures, this book by Jane relates more of her
encounters with her greater self, as well as similar experiences on the
part of Rob and individuals with whom they come in contact. Explaining
these events are the Codicils, a statement of the rules which underlie
the evolvement of their personality and our species--written by Jane in
a state of altered consciousness.
The World
View of Paul Cezanne (1977)
The current and remarkably Sethian outlook on the world of the artist
Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) is presented in this book in words of his received
by Jane while in a state of altered consciousness.
The Afterdeath Journal of an
American Philosopher: The World View of William James* (1978)
This book presents the world view of the philosopher William James
(1842-1910) as he has developed it since he left his body. He comments
on the limitations of his outlook when in our reality, analyzes U.S. cultural
development in the light of what he has discovered since his "death," and
describes the reality in which he is now focused. His account of "God,"
whom he refers to as the "the knowing light" is deeply moving. This work
is one of Jane's productions while in a state of altered consciousness.
Emir's Education
in the Proper Use of Magical Powers (1979)
This children's book is also suitable for adults. It shows our need
to make self-responsible decisions, the value of the change of seasons
and the change called death, and the oneness of creation. A young prince
learns as he journeys through the universe.
The
Further Education of Oversoul Seven (1979)
Now republished as part of the Oversoul Seven Trilogy and a
sequel to The Education of Oversoul Seven, this novel was also written
by Jane when in a state of altered consciousness. The concepts of simultaneous
time, probable realities, the power of an individual's free choice, and
the nature of "God" are explored in a lively fashion as the characters
become acquainted with their counterparts in space and time.
The God
of Jane: A Psychic Manifesto (1981)
This book relates experiences beginning in Jane's childhood which eventually
led her to accept Seth's philosophy and to formulate her own concept of
"God."
If We Live Again: Or, Public Magic
and Private Love* (1982)
The poems in this volume were written by Jane about altered states
of consciousness as experienced through love for another person, through
awareness of one's multidimensional personality, through nature, through
dreams, and through a consciousness of the magic in every object we perceive.
Oversoul
Seven and the Museum of Time (1984)
Now republished as part of the Oversoul Seven Trilogy, in this
third volume, Jane develops the concepts of simultaneous time, the continual
alteration of both past and future that is produced by actions in the present,
and the importance of our taking steps today to choose a future reality
in which our species will survive and flourish. The key to this transformation
is contained in the "Codicils," principles of conduct that are presented
in her previous work,
Psychic Politics.
Seth,
Dreams and Projection of Consciousness (1986)
Written between The Seth Material and Seth Speaks but
not published until 1986, this book by Jane fills in the chronological
gap between those two works. In it, she relates her experiences and experiments
with dreams and projection of consciousness, and gives much advice from
both Seth and herself about working with one's dreams and engaging in out-of-body
travel. The Introduction by Rob Butts describes the circumstances surrounding
Jane's death of September 5, 1984.
