“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In my opinion, Seth has written a book that is a classic of its kind.

To our way of thinking, we have kept over six hundred appointments with the universe — though Rob would never describe it that way himself. These appointments are kept in our well-lighted, large living room, but in deeper terms they take place within the spaceless area of human personality.

The next chapter will deal with the basic methods of communication that are used by any consciousness, according to its degree, whether or not it is physical.
