Product Description: “You cannot help creating any more than you can help breathing; and when you breathe no longer, you still create. You cannot escape your own creations. It is not death any of you have to worry about—it is your own creations, and you cannot blame your own creations upon any god or any ‘fact’ or any predestination! YOU CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY.” —Seth, Conversations with Seth, book 2 Picking up where book 1 left off, we continue our adventures with Jane Roberts and her ESP class members as they converse, wrangle, and debate with Seth and each other about the practical application of the theory that we each create our own reality. It’s the 1970s and the names and places may be distant memories, but the issues remain as fresh and relevant as ever: homosexuality and sex and gender issues (remember Anita Bryant’s anti-gay campaign?); political and religious fanaticism; man-made drugs versus natural stimulants and remedies; the role of religion, biblical texts, and God in our culture and around the world; premonition dreams involving mass events—these are but a few of the topics covered. And, in a series of powerful “therapy” sessions, Seth gives pointed personal advice to three class members: one regarding a marriage in crisis, another a chronic health issue, and another, an artist wondering why he can’t make a living doing what he loves. By exploring, with humor and intelligence, these timeless issues, Seth, Jane Roberts, Sue Watkins, and class members help us understand both the theory and practical application of “You create your own reality.” “Susan Watkins has accomplished an immeasurable task in chronicling the time she spent in the company of Jane Roberts and Seth, who together produced one of the most amazing bodies of metaphysical literature of our time. She tells the story from the point of view of the novice and so takes us with her as we discover the "Seth" within us all. Reading Conversations with Seth is the next best thing to having actually been there ourselves.” —Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., featured in the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know?!" and author of Dr. Quantum's Little Book of Big Ideas and The Spiritual Universe
Conversations with Seth, Book 2 The book was well written, moved along nicely, and included absolutely amazing insights and new approaches to view our life and physical reality. It was a refreshing, uplifting and a life affirming breath of fresh air in the book world. Well done, Ms Watkins!
Provides insights Familiarity with Book 1 would be helpful but is not a requirement for Conversations with Seth, Book 2, which continues the dialogues and adventures between Jane Roberts and her class members as they debate with channeled psychic entity Seth. Susan Watkins spent time in the company of both: her recreation of the atmosphere and concerns of a 1970s metaphysical class provides insights into premonition dreams, mass events, politics, and God alike, and will intrigue any with an interest in channeling in general and Seth in particular.

A Different Way of Thinking & Perceiving The Universe I must admit that I've attempted to read other books pertaining to "Sethian" ideas over the years, and have found myself bogged down within them, not quite able to grasp this different way of thinking and perceiving regarding ourselves & our universe... However, I found this book, by Susan Watkins, to be more down-to-earth, and therefore a bit easier to understand/decipher.
"Conversations With Seth" is a compilation of what went on during some of Jane Robert's classes during the 1970's. It includes specific dialogue between Seth and the various class attendee's, as well as such "topics"/"entities" as The Sumari & Seth II.
It explores the nature of our thoughts & our reality - including our beliefs about violence, sex, men vs. women, alternate realities, and much, much more.
If you are at all interested in Jane Robert's various "Seth" books, and/or are intrigued by the idea of alternate realities, and how our thoughts create the reality we are currently in, then I would higly recommend this book - it's a fascinating, thought-provoking read (to say the least).
One of my favorites... I read this book when it was originally published in 2 volumes--however whether it is one or two books is immaterial. If you've read the Seth books you'll love this book!
Seth in a more casual setting Seth might appear to some readers to be a bit too intellectual for a formal setting, as I once thought. However, Seth can quite hold his own with some very diverse people, and opinions. This book is basically transcripts from Jane Roberts' ESP class, and the discussion held there.
