Seth's energy comes through every page, energy that expands your consciousness and changes your thoughts about the nature of reality." — Sanaya Roman author of Living with foy "The Seth books were of great benefit to me on my spiritual journey and helped me to see another way of looking at the world." — Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. author of Love is Letting Go of Fear "To my great surprise — and slight annoyance — I found that Seth eloquently and lucidly articulated a view of reality that I had arrived at only after great effort and an extensive study of both paranormal phenomena and quantum physics...." — Michael Talbot author of The Holographic Universe and Beyond the Quantum BOOKS BY JANE ROBERTS The Rebellers (1963) The Coming ofSeth (How to Develop Your ESP Power) (1966) TheSeth Material (1970) Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul {1912)^ The Education of Oversoul Seven (1973)** The Nature of Personal Reality.

I've long wanted to see it published while feel- ing, knowing, that it has much else to offer, too. Not only about Jane's fine ability to speak in a trance or dissociated state for Seth, that "energy personality essence," as he calls himself, but about all of the vastly complicated challenges that can, and do, arise in the course of a human life. Our lives, I've learned, don't simply proceed nicely and directly from "birth" to "death." Instead, I see each one of us as traveling a most curious and branching-out or circuitous route, one that is cre- ative in ways that are both known and, I'm sure now, unknown. Ah, there's the challenge, then — to understand our inherent creativity. We can try to mold it, to make it conform or behave, but each life has a life of its own. How fortunate! My wife's life and work show that we can even create challenges and goals before birth, then in physical life plunge into fulfilling those qualities as we don flesh and clothing and beliefs. Yet what great, unexpected convolutions we can encounter in those challenges we've created! Even so, I think, ultimately we come to understand, whether on conscious or • vii • • viii • FOREWORD unconscious levels — or both — that we were utterly ourselves while learning along the way. Jane died in the hospital at 2:08 A.M. on Wednesday, September 5, 1984, after being there, quite helpless in certain ways, for a year and nine months. It was the third time she'd been hospitalized since February 1982. Since her death many have written to both sympathize and to ask "Why?" She had Seth, didn't she — for whom she spoke for some 21 years; she also produced six books with him along the way (plus a number of books on her "own"). Why hadn't Seth gotten her out of her dilemma, turned the magic key in the proper psychic lock? She was only 55 years old when she died. She could have lived for another 20 years, say, and contributed even more to our knowledge, both with Seth and by herself. She could have become world famous had she chosen to go that route. The answers to such questions that Jane, Seth, and I arrived at are in this book. Jane was a human being first, and a very gifted psychic second. Seth did help her, many many times over the years. Beyond that, Jane and I learned that there exist great realms of knowledge and feeling as yet largely unrevealed. It would have been even finer to tap into those wondrous mazes much more, but we did the best we could. Seth still helps my wife, I'm sure. They're united now, and in larger terms also meeting with many others they know from the "past," "present," and "future." Because of certain dreams I believe that even portions of my own entity (Seth calls me Joseph) are join- ing in. Well, why not, since as Seth describes reality, everything exists at the same "time?" Tricky concepts and questions to wrestle with, I know, and sometimes contradictory. Enough to last for a lifetime in just this mundane reality. I think this book shows, then, that the ways toward health can and do vary tremendously. In some stubborn and psychically grounded way we each are going to make our own choices, as human beings always have. Surely Jane's life shows this, and in ways that nei- ther of us were even remotely aware of consciously when we married 42 years ago. During those 21 months in the hospital, Jane, Seth, and I said much about her physical/psychic condition, and I recorded it all in my homemade shorthand as best I could under often very stressful conditions. In all that time I missed spending up to six or more
