Seth Group-I'm a Soul Having a Human Experience

Continuation from previous blogs of the Seth Group, scroll down.

Several minutes later Maria turned on the lights and recommended that everyone do a few stretches, and then help themselves to the vegetarian lasagna and vegetable platter she had prepared.

With plates and drinks in hand the group came back together. While they ate, Maria told them the story of how she had read Seth Speaks when it was first published in the early 70’s, but like most of them in the room, she didn’t grasp all the principles either. “A few months ago, I was cleaning out my bookcase and a book fell off the shelf onto the floor. I picked it up and it was Seth Speaks.” She stopped for a moment to take a sip of the warm apple cider.  “I flipped through the book and eventually began to read it and read it and read it.”

“I’ll second that.” John spoke out. “She carries it around everywhere, and now I’m doing the same.”

“I thought we would start off with the basic concept of Seth—I’m more than flesh and blood, I’m a soul creating my reality. That’s not exactly how he stated it, but it’s close. What do you think about that?”

“I have heard others say it as I’m a spirit being having a human experience.” Richard stated as he took off his eyeglasses and cleaned them with the napkin.

“Honey, we have discussed this.” Romayne answered her husband. “Soul and Spirit are two different concepts, aren’t they Maria?”

“Yes, I do believe they are two different concepts based on how you perceive them. If you refer to yourself as a soul, you perceive Self from the Metaphysical philosophy. However, using spirit fits in perfectly with religious and spiritual beliefs. Seth uses the terms soul or entity. He warns about getting caught up in terminology or jargon.

“Good, because I prefer to be called a person.” Clara stated, looking around the room at the group as she got up to put her paper plate in the trash bin.

“Don’t you get it? This is about more than being a person, identifying with your body. It’s about being a multidimensional soul and knowing what you are capable of doing.” John spoke as his eyes followed Clara.

“That's true John." Maria spoke up. "Because when we think of ourselves of being only a body with a mind and spirit, we are caught in a program that limits our perception of reality and creative abilities. And for our spiritual evolution, we need to break through that barrier. The first step is to recognize and accept that you're a soul creating a physical experience.”

“You’re saying that I’m creating this experience right now and listening to this nonsense. No way.” Clara returned to her seat and tightened her hold on the Bible.

"Then whom do you think created it?" Maria asked.

Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts--a Must Read for all Truthseekers

I’m reading Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts. The other day I stopped reading for a few moments to think about why I didn’t read the book when it was first published in 1972. It was a bestseller, challenging religious and metaphysical beliefs on the nature of reality and the soul.  I remembered my sister telling me about Seth, and I vaguely remembered not wanting to read anything that had to do with channeling. Besides I was too busy attending graduate school, working and having my first child. And if that wasn’t enough, I was hiding from my own psychic abilities.  During the day, I would wear my business suit as I moved up the corporate ladder. While at night I hovered under the arm-pit of my now ex-deceased husband, trying to stop an out-of-body experience. Sometimes I would hold my ears not to hear voices or squeeze my eyes tightly in order not to see spirits. The truth was I was too scared to read Seth.    

Thirty-eight years later with a lot of psychic, metaphysical, and spiritual experiences and travel under my belt, Seth is back and my ears, eyes and senses are wide open. As I read the book, I wanted to hear Seth speak and watch him come through Jane Roberts. I went looking for videos. The following videos are a three part series of taped interviews with Jane Roberts, her husband Robert Butts and of course Seth. I plan to explore the Seth’s material in the next several blogs to see if his explanation of the nature of reality thirty-eight years later is still as influential, if not more so, in today's world.
