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.

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 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.

Intended for advanced Seth readers, this manuscript delves into the soul/time/space conundrum as well as the connection between dreams and parallel realities. While the Seth information was channeled forty years ago, I consider Seth to be the father of the new age and self-help movement. Far from some pat oversimplification of how we create reality, Seth leads the reader, step by step, into the incredibly complex nature of the soul and how we are all ultimately connected with each other, God. I read and reread, probably only a few pages at a time, as the material is so spiritually stimulating yet thick with new information that it must be digested (at least for me) a little at a time. The authenticity of the material is indisputable making this (as well as all Seth books) an essential read for any sincere seeker.

The material brought forth by Seth is always amazing and deeply fundamental. This book is another in the series of Seth teachings and has the same, extraordinary level of perception and wisdom as the other Seth books. It should definitely be included in any reading of Seth, and for those who have read previous material, this adds another segment to this fascinating collection of writings. After reading Unknown Reality, I feel closer to Seth and his messages than before. I am very glad to see this material is being carefully compiled and released so its messages get broadly distributed. - Mark Greenia, author of "Energy Dynamics: Conscious Human Evolution."

This is an absolutely mind-boggling and exhilarating read. This is the third Seth book I've read and I dig them all. As I read I can feel myself becoming an intelligence residing outside time and space. I highly recommend to all those who are as certifiable as me.

I struggled a bit with the themes and complexity of the ideations expressed by the Author Jane Roberts. This would be easy for Doctorate level reading ability and I only have a dabbling in Masters Level Education. I recommend this book to highschool and undergraduate readers who want to use other books as crutches to get through these two volumes. When you get to parts of this book that you fail to grasp you will want to surf Wikipedia or get other books to explain these parts or chapters.That having been said- It took me almost 4 years of daily reading to get through these books.( I read everything Roberts has written in this time) Before you judge this author's ideations- you will not be fair unless you read the complete works. The books are not lengthy-they require you to engage in complex challenges while they depart extraordinary concepts about the metaphysical world. DEEP baby DEEP!!!!

Volume II of "The Unknown Reality" is essential to understanding how the human psyche is assembled. If you know that, you'll know how we create our universes, and All That Is.

Get it now.

The Unknown Reality Volumes 1 & 2 were written in the late 70's. They give a very interesting perspective on how the physical and non-physical relate to each other. My personal interest is in how metaphysics can be understood within the framework of complex spacetime. These books do a great job of looking at various metaphysical topics and providing a framework in which they can be understood.

Once there was a question asked about will we ever find a base sub-atomic particle that makes up all others. The answer was yes, it is a unit of consciousness of zero size. Today, 40 years later, they are talking about micro-singularities (mini black holes) of zero size. I'm sure both of these books will cause you to look at the world you live in a little differently. We all create our own realities. How? This is a good place to start.

The information presented is very thought-provoking and possibly life changing. As with all of the Seth books, the message is that you are MUCH more than you're personality. I found it annoying, however,that Robert Butts included his PERSONAL notes. They were HIGHLY unecessary and, since he was writing while " Seth " was dictating, he would actually write the WORD "semicolon" or "period" whenever "Seth" called for one. The editing is bad. Overall, though, this book IS powerful in that it gave me a larger view of creation and my place in it, which is why I read books of this nature.
