>Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality

In September 1984, the voice that had spoken for one of the most profound and prolific metaphysical teachers of the 20th century fell silent. Seth, the entity who described himself as an "energy personality essence no longer focused in physical matter," had spoken exclusively through Jane Roberts since 1963. During the long illness that led to her death, Jane continued to channel Seth from her hospital bed, but this final work was left unfinished.

Now, in The Way Toward Health, Jane's husband, Robert Butts, shares with us the intimate story of Jane's final days, and the exquisite teachings that Seth gave during that time. In an examination of the miracle of life in a human body, Seth speaks about:

• Why medicine and therapy often perpetuate illness
• How the practice of naming diseases can work against us
• The influence of religion in creating disease
• How children's health is influenced by parents' beliefs
• Humor as an effective factor in healing

"Do not think of the mind as a purely mental entity, and of the body as a purely physical one. Instead, think of both mind and body as continuing, interweaving processes that are mental and physical at once. Your thoughts actually are quite as physical as your body is, and your body is quite as nonphysical as it seems to you your thoughts are. You are actually a vital force, existing as a part of your environment, and yet apart from your environment at the same time." - Jane Roberts, speaking for Seth in The Way Toward Health

About the Author

Jane Roberts (May 8, 1929 - September 5, 1984) grew up in Saratoga Springs, New York where she attended Skidmore College. She was a prolific writer in a variety of genres including poetry, short stories, children's literature and fiction when in 1963, she began to receive messages from a non-physical energy personality who called himself "Seth." Her husband, Robert F. Butts, an artist and writer, recorded the messages and together they dedicated their lives to the publication of Seth's teachings. The "Seth Books" have become classics in the fields of psychology and personal growth, and stand out as one of the major forces that led to the New Age philosophical movement in the 1970s. Today, Yale University Library maintains a collection of Jane's writings, journals, poetry, audio and video recordings, correspondence, and other materials (the "Jane Roberts Papers") donated by her husband and other individuals.
