This book is an attempt by Jane Roberts to expand our concept of consciousness - to create a new psychology. She accepts as normal the existence of precognitive dreams, out-of-body experiences, revelatory information, alterations of consciousness, peak experiences, trance mediumship, and other psychological and psychic events possible in human behavior. She presents a framework in which these experiences can be viewed as valid psychological experiences, themselves neither good nor bad, but expressions of the personality as it struggles to come to grips with its spiritual and creature nature.She utilizes different levels of awareness to examine the nature of the psyche and its reality. She starts from a conscious state, and from that stage she programs herself to journey to other portions of the personality, and view "reality" from their viewpoint, and with their own kinds of perception. To that end, she examines her own trance material, and scrutinizes Seth''s reality as it appears in her experience, and in his behavior and writings.In ADVENTURES OF CONSCIOUSNESS, Jane Roberts creates an alternate map of reality, with a new diagram of the psyche.

This beautifully illustrated book is a record of seven decades of royal history, from the Coronation in 1953 to the present day, as well as the celebration of this unique royal milestone.

Une introduction éclairante et d''accès particulièrement facile au message de Seth, l''entité considérée par des millions de lecteurs comme l''un des grands maîtres spirituels de notre époque. La métaphysique de Seth est présentée par Jane Roberts, qui lui prêta sa voix. Ces livres à la fois pratiques et pleins de sagesse content l''histoire de la rencontre entre Jane Roberts, son mari Robert Butts, et « le plus grand professeur de métaphysique de notre temps », cette « essence d''une personnalité non incarnée » nommée Seth. Jane Roberts y décrit dans quelles circonstances Seth a commencé à parler par sa bouche. On la voit aux prises avec le scepticisme le sien comme celui d''autrui alors que son esprit rationnel s''acharne à comprendre ce phénomène extraordinaire. Imprégnée de la philosophie de Seth, dont elle a été la voix des années durant, Jane Roberts la présente ici au moyen de longs extraits commentés, choisis dans des sessions privées (qui ne figurent pas dans les livres dictés par Seth). Un document passionnant pour qui s''intéresse au channeling ou à l''enseignement de Seth. Publiés en dix-huit langues, les livres de Seth dépassent les huit millions d''exemplaires vendus. Traduit de l''américain par Dominique Thomas et Michka Seeliger-Chatelain. L''auteure Jane Roberts (1929-1984) est née et a vécu dans l''État de New York. Auteure d''une trentaine d''ouvrages (poèmes, nouvelles et essais), elle a, pendant vingt ans, prêté sa voix au message de Seth, annonçant le phénomène moderne du channeling.

Advised to protect their graduate student husbands from stress, three women face confl icts within each marriage amid anti-war protests, drug use, racial unrest and the emerging feminist movement. Told from the women s perspectives, the story begins in harmony, but turns to discord as: Meg struggles to balance motherhood with her own academic ambitions, and copes with her husband s violent mood swings; Rosemary, daughter of a British coal-miner, copes with her upperclass husband s verbal abuse; Terry, an artist familiar with the drugs of the time, married to a former Navy SEAL, balances her anti-war activism against her husband s Vietnam memories.

Dans ces livres, Seth expose les méthodes spécifiques qui permettent de modifier notre vie pour la mettre en conformité avec notre idéal, qu''il s''agisse de notre corps et de notre santé, de l''abondance, ou de nos rapports avec nous-mêmes et avec autrui. Les livres de Seth sont particuliers, car leur auteur n''a pas de réalité physique. En effet, c''est dans un état modifié de conscience que Jane Roberts reçut mot à mot le message métaphysique dicté par « l''essence d''une personnalité non incarnée » se nommant Seth. Ainsi naquirent ces guides essentiels qui, des décennies plus tard, apparaissent comme la source d''où jaillit le mouvement des spiritualités nouvelles. Publiés en dix-huit langues, les livres de Seth dépassent les huit millions d''exemplaires vendus. Traduit de l''américain par Dominique Thomas et Michka Seeliger-Chatelain.

From the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality In this mind-stretching journey into the very frontiers of consciousness, Seth reveals the multidimensional nature of the human soul. In Seth Speaks, Seth introduced the concept of “probable realities,” in which our idle daydreams and unfulfilled impulses do take place, in which all possible choices are fully experienced by other portions of the self. Now in this first volume of The “Unknown” Reality, Seth explains the dazzling labyrinths of unseen probabilities involved in any decision, and how our awareness of these can enrich the waking life we know. In a fascinating exploration of the cosmic web of our existence, Seth reveals: • The purpose of dreams, and how they are often fulfilled unconsciously • Misconceptions about death and the afterlife • How different probable realities intersect and influence one another • The relationship between physical health and inner reality • A series of exercises to help you discover the unknown portions of your greater identity “The self is multidimensional when it is physically alive. It is a triumph of spiritual and psychological identity, ever choosing from a myriad of probable realities its own clear unassailable focus. When you don’t realize this, then you project upon life after death all of the old misconceptions. . . . The fact is that in life you poise delicately and yet perfectly between realities, and after death you do the same.” —Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth

From the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks Speaking exclusively through Jane Roberts, Seth has repeatedly stressed the concept that we create our own reality according to our individual beliefs. But how do our realities merge and combine to form mass reactions such as the overthrow of governments, the birth of a new religion, wars, epidemics, earthquakes, and new periods of art, architecture, and technology? In this pioneering work, Seth explores the connection between personal beliefs and world events. He pinpoints the unconscious — and often negative — beliefs pervading science and religion, medicine and mythology, and offers thought-provoking reflections on Darwinism, Freudianism, religions, cults, and medical beliefs. With fascinating and inspiring implications, Seth asserts that the personal impulses we are often taught to see as dangerous, chaotic, or contradictory, are instead crucial to the best interests of the species and the natural world, for they lead us to live “not only as loving caretakers but as partners with other species.” “Only people who trust their spontaneous impulses can be consciously wise enough to choose from a myriad of probable futures the most promising events….” — Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth

Seth, speaking exclusively through Jane Roberts, reveals a startling new concept of self, answering questions about the secret language of love, human sexuality, the real origins and incredible powers of dreams, and how we choose our physical death — sometimes years in advance. For the first time, Seth explains: • Why love is the basic language from which all others spring • The bisexual nature of humanity and its biological and spiritual importance • The true basis of homosexuality and lesbianism — along with their private and social effects • The benefits of recalling our dreams and consciously participating in them • How dreams can prevent chronic illnesses by providing important therapeutic information • Simple exercises you can do to expand your awareness of the deeper portions of your psyche and stretch your abilities to their fullest potential. “The psyche is a gestalt of aware energy in which your own identity resides, inviolate, yet ever-changing as you fulfill your potentials. You are your psyche’s living expression, its human manifestation. Yet you allow yourselves often to become blind to brilliant aspects of your own existence.” — Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth

From the Bestselling Author of 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 • Includes 8-page photo gallery “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

Inspired by Jane Roberts’ own experiences as the author of the immensely popular "Seth" books, these three novels — now collected in one volume — are one of the most imaginative tales ever written. Jane Roberts’ beloved character, Oversoul Seven, an ageless student of the universe, explores the entire framework of our existence. . . . As we follow Seven’s education, our own beliefs about life, death, dreams, time and space are challenged and stretched, leaving us with a refreshing and provocative perspective on the true nature of reality. In The Education of Oversoul Seven, Seven explores the true nature of his being as he learns to communicate with four of his "incarnations" — four all-too-human people whose lives are separated by centuries, yet who also coexist. In The Further Education of Oversoul Seven, the adventure continues with Seven facing new lessons as his human incarnations struggle with the problems of sanity, free will, and even godhood. In the third saga of this exuberant adventure, Oversoul Seven and the Museum of Time, Seven is instructed to take up residence in a human body while also journeying to the Museum of Time in search of the "Codicils." The Codicils are eternal truths that bring about the greatest opportunities for vitality, understanding, and fulfillment. The adventures of Oversoul Seven, are at once an intriguing fantasy, a mind-altering exploration of our inner being, and a vibrant celebration of life.

From the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality In this first volume of Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, Seth takes us on an odyssey to identify the origins of our universe and our species. He asserts that “consciousness units” form the basis of all energy and matter, and charts a conscious, self-aware universe that is constantly recreated by our own thoughts, dreams, and desires. Illuminating the part that humans play in the greater scheme of things, he suggests that we are alive not only for the continuation of the species but to add to the very quality of life itself. Other fascinating topics include: · The role dreams play in the creation of language and technology · The relationship between genetic heritage and reincarnation · How creativity proviudes a link with the source of all existence · The true power of the imagination, and the importance of broadening its scope · A discussion of “value fulfillment” — or the yearning to enhance the quality of life — as a fundamental desire in all life forms Stimulating and provocative, this long-awaited book answers crucial questions about the entire significance of Seth''s system of thought. “When I speak of the dream world, I am not referring to some imaginary realm, but to the kind of world of ideas, of thoughts, of mental actions, out of which all form as you think of it emerges. In actuality, this is an inner universe rather than an inner world. Your physical reality is but one materialization of that inner organization.” — Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth

“The Seth books present an alternate map of reality with a new diagram of the psyche...useful to all explorers of consciousness.” — Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success From the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality In the first volume of Dreams, “Evolution,” and Value Fulfillment, Seth presented an in-depth picture of the origin of all life — from the inner dream world to the vast display of material creation. Here, in Volume Two, Seth continues his explanation of the physical world as an ongoing self-creation — a direct and intentional outgrowth of the wisdom of the life forms that inhabit it, including humanity. He expands upon his vision of a thoroughly animate universe, where virtually every possibility not only exists, but is constantly encouraged to achieve its highest potential. In his typical awe-inspiring manner, Seth sheds light on many controversial and complex subjects, including: • The ways in which our religions have stifled the human spirit • Surprising insight into life’s meaning and purpose • The genetic basis of faith, hope, and charity • The pursuit of pleasure as a fundamental human need • How each species keeps millions of characteristics within its genetic bank for various contingencies "Dreams are mental work and play combined, psychic and emotionally rich creative dramas. They also involve you in the most productive of enterprises as you begin to play with versions of events that are being considered for physical actualization..." — Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth

Evidence of climate change, resource shortages and biodiversity loss is growing in significance year by year. This second edition of Environmental Policy explains how policy can respond and bring about greater sustainability in individual lifestyles, corporate strategies, national policies and international relations. The book discusses the interaction between environmental and human systems, proposing environmental policy as a way to steer human systems to function within environmental constraints. The second edition has been completely updated to reflect advances in scholarship (for example developments in governance theory) and the increasing primacy of climate policy within environmental policy as a whole. Key political, social and economic concepts are used to explain how effective environmental policies can be designed, implemented and evaluated. Environmental problems, the role of human beings in creating them and sustainable development are all introduced. Environmental policy formulation, implementation and evaluation are discussed within three specific contexts: the firm, the nation state and at an international level. The book reviews the relationship of economics, science and technology to environmental policy. It ends by reflecting upon the predicament of humankind in the twenty-first century and the potential of achieve sustainability through the use of the environmental policy ‘toolbox’. Environmental Policy is an accessible text with a multi-disciplinary perspective. Lively case studies drawn from a range of international examples – and completely updated for this second edition – illustrate issues such as climate change, international trade, tourism and human rights. It includes chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading and links to relevant web resources.

From Jane Roberts Wood comes a quietly riveting novel revealing the banal faces of evil in a small East Texas town. In 1946 a young couple is brutally murdered in Cold Springs. And, now, thirty-four years later, the rumor is that Jackson Morris, who had been the only person of interest in the murders, has come home. Or has he? When the four women of the Tuesday bridge club hear this rumor, their responses range from a reckless excitement to a shaky uneasiness. There''s Isabel, compelling and passionate, who foolishly and inexplicably longs to see Jackson, her first love, again while the seemingly innocent Mary Martha prays that the sheriff will put Jackson''s head in a noose. Although the eternally optimistic Sarah looks to the law to determine Jackson''s fate, the fourth woman, an Irish immigrant and a misfit in Cold Springs, is guided by the spirit world, including a cat, in deciding his guilt or innocence. When a second murder occurs after Jackson''s return, Cold Springs reacts with fear and paranoia while the women struggle to protect their friend''s reputation and desperately try to find a murderer.
