The "Unknown" Reality, Vol. 2: A Seth Book [Hardcover]

Jane Roberts (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1979

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars thrilling in its implications, February 21, 1999

This review is from: The "Unknown" Reality, Vol. 2: A Seth Book (Paperback)

This is the fourth Seth book I've read, and my one-line summary up there says it all. Easier to read than Volume One of "Unknown Reality", and I think more exciting even than "The Nature of Personal Reality". It's kicked me off on some of my own adventures that would have been inconceivable to me before.

5.0 out of 5 stars unknown reality, April 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The "Unknown" Reality, Vol. 2: A Seth Book (Hardcover)

Outstanding. Best understood after first reading 'The Seth Material' and 'The Nature of Personal Reality', also Seth books by Jane Roberts. There is a second book (Book II) to this series that completes the study on the unknown reality. Very intricate and intense reading and very much worth the effort.

This review is from: The "Unknown" Reality, Vol. 2: A Seth Book (Paperback)

This is volume two of a series "The Unknown Reality". If you decide you are interested in the Seth material, I recommend you read the following books in this order before you read this one:
1)Seth Speaks
2)The Nature of Personal Reality
3)The Unknown Reality Vol 1

As usual the Seth material itself is great. Some of my favorite parts are as follows:

The body can maintain itself when the "main consciousness" is away.

"Now, facts may or may not give you wisdom. They can, if they are slavishly followed, even lead you away from true knowledge. Wisdom shows you the inside of facts, so to speak, and the realities from which facts emerge."

"Different varieties of dreams often provide frameworks that allow you to leave your own world view under `cushioned conditions.' You step out of the normal picture that you have made of reality."

The reflections of our ideas and intimate emotions are projected outward in a rich drama.

"You may understand that many of your dreams have a symbolic meaning. It may escape you, however, that the symbolic meanings-only these are three-dimensional. You may spend time trying to understand the nature of dreams and their implications, without ever realizing that your physical life is to some extent a three-dimensional dream. It will faithfully mirror your dream images at any given time."

We shouldn't take our spiritual journey too serious. Take it too serious and we may inhibit our spiritual growth. Take it too serious and we lose sight of what "spirit" is.

The properties of the earth are meant to lead us into the nature of the soul. Nature as we understand it is meant to be our teacher. We are not its master.

An active fire place is cleansing. It helps to clear the blood.

The past can be changed. We personally do it all the time. We blot out things in the past. They become literally non-existent when we block out aspects of our past reality and consciously cut down on our choices.

To find the ruins of Atlantis, we must put it in our future first; it must be placed in our past from the future.

Illness and suffering is not thrust upon us by God, or by All That Is, or by an outside agency. They are a by-product of the learning processes, created by you; in themselves quite neutral...Illness and suffering are the results of the misdirection of creative energy. Suffering is not good for the soul unless it teaches how to stop suffering.

"all exterior events, including your own bodies with their insides, all objects, all physical materializations, are the outside structures of inside ones that are composed of interior sound and invisible light, interwoven in electromagnetic patterns."

In terms of my rating, while I adore the Seth Material, I agonized over the redundant appendixes, footnotes and footnotes to appendixes that are extremely long. They break up the flow of the Seth material. One would think that you could ignore the appendixes and footnotes but there is actually "some" good information in there and if you miss it, you will miss the intent of the Seth messages. I give the Seth material 5 stars and the rest of it 3 stars. Without the extraneous appendixes and footnotes this book could have been easily combined into "one" book.
