I am also a businessman with a record of hustling everything from cookware to radio time and I know a hype when I see one. I am a hardcore skeptic and an old school rationalist, not easily swayed by arguments that don’t make down-to-earth sense. Perhaps I am naive, or easily impressed but I think not. Exposure to all this has had a profound effect on my thinking.
I also took a peek at a few other publications by Jane Roberts, including a novel, a book of poetry and a book of nonfiction called Aspect Psychology. Now, as I prepare the second and final draft of this essay, I have recently finished a third Seth book, The Nature of Personal Reality. I also borrowed The Seth Material, an earlier book by Jane Roberts which is more about Seth than by him. Under Seth’s alleged influence the otherwise attractive Ms. Jane Roberts strikes a front cover pose that’s pure Dracula, and rifling through the pictures inside isn’t much more encouraging. This took some effort, because the cover is about as off-putting as any Troo UFO! or Van Daniken Space Teacher book from a 7-11 paperback carousel. ” Anyway, with trust in the Safransky’s good sense, I went down to Fowlers and picked up the copy of Seth Speaks that had stared for what seemed years from the top row of the paperback rack there. “Yes, and just as the shimfeathers on the African Nutcrested Bloodwrench protect it from snow, Mutual of Omaha protects you from even the most unlikely misfortunestance. It was a little like that old nature show on Channel 28 where the host always manages to find something in each episode’s outdoorsy subject matter that’s analogous to life insurance.
I began to think Seth was Official Sun Philosophical Doctrine or something. First, there was Sy’s review, then just about every month some germane excerpt from Seth Speaks would show up somewhere in the magazine. It has been interesting to watch the Seth Thing develop in THE SUN.
