The first time I heard about Seth was while watching a DVD called, “Introducing Abraham: The Secret Behind ‘The Secret,’ featuring Esther and Jerry Hicks. In case you have not heard of them, Esther Hicks speaks for Abraham, which is a group of collective souls channeled through Esther (www.abraham-hicks.com), and Jerry is her husband. The two travel around the world giving seminars and allowing people to speak directly to Abraham, whose teachings are about the Law of Attraction.
In this particular DVD, Jerry explains he has had an interest in spirituality and metaphysical topics for years, having read the book “Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul,” written by an entity similar to Abraham called Seth, and channeled through author Jane Roberts in the 1970s. It is now published by New World Library
Months later — in a very syncronistic way — I had gone to Barnes and Noble in search of a particular biography, and wandered through the new age section as I usually do. Scanning the shelves, "Seth Speaks" jumped out at me. I remembered hearing Jerry speak about it on the DVD, and when I flipped it over and saw testimonials on the back cover from well-known authors and spiritual teachers like Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra and Louise Hay, I immediately purchased it. I now agree with all the testimonials — this book is essential for anyone on a spiritual journey.
If you are a fan of Abraham and the work of Esther and Jerry Hicks, this book, and other Seth books, are must reads. Seth explains how thought forms matter, the nature of sleep and dreams, reincarnation and more.
There are too many enlightening moments in “Seth Speaks” to list here, but one I want to share (which caused me to turn down the page corner so I wouldn’t forget it) is where Seth is speaking about how thoughts create reality, and how each human being is a piece of Source, God or as Seth refers to it, "All That Is." He explains that by looking at our outer reality, we can discover what is going on inside ourselves. When something goes wrong, such as illness or suffering, it’s purpose is to awaken us to realize there is something going wrong inside causing it.
He says in the book, “Through observing his creations, [mankind] learns how to use these abilities better. He checks on his inner progress by seeing the physical materialization of his work. The work, the reality, is still a creative achievement, although it may portray tragedy or unspeakable terror in your terms at any given time … Illness and suffering are the results of misdirection of creative energy. They are a part of the creative force, however. They do not come from a different source than, say, health and vitality. Suffering is not good for the soul, unless it teaches you how to stop suffering. That is its purpose.”
As I said, this is only one of the many insights found in the book! And to think, this book was first published in the 1970s!

Has anyone else read or heard about the Seth books? Which ones are your favorite? Let us know what you think!
I've never heard of this before but it's fascinating. Thanks for blogging about "Seth"
I know about Esther and Jerry and Abraham, but am not familiar with Seth. My father listens to Abraham recordings. I'll pass this to him.
I've been listening to Abraham for around 4-5 years. I heard about Seth through their book Ask and it is Given. I read a bit of the Seth material and found it fascinating, but always found Abraham to be the messenger for me, so to speak.
Back in the early 1990's, I belonged to a "Seth group" for two years. It was a great group! We studied and talked about all of Seth's teachings. One night, we did an experiment to see if we could contact Seth ourselves, and I did! Seth's message to me was profound – he said, "Even if we get messages from otherworldly beings, we must put them to the same testing as we would any message from any friend. We shouldn't just take them at face value." I laughed out loud when he told me that applied even to him.
Seth has a great sense of humor and much wisdom. I highly recommend the Seth material.
Linda, that sounds pretty amazing! I like your (and Seth's) sense of humor and dose of humility too.
I have heard of Seth’s teachings before and due to this posting, it is on my ‘to read list’ which is long and in waiting. Thanks!
Thank you, Elevated Existence. This sounds super-intriguing.
Hi,
Thanks so much for this post… I've never heard of Seth…but I will soon discover all about his teachings.. sounds very inspirational and intriguing!…
Thank you once again

Elevated Existence,
Yes, absolutely!
I highly recommend the Seth Material for anyone wanting a more "in depth" look at these concepts. I first began studying Seth nearly 40 years ago — and I now consider it one of the four "cornerstones" of my Spiritual life (the other three being Neale Donald Walsch, Deepak Chopra and Abraham.)
For me, Abe's teaching is the clearest as far as the "How to" of LOA, especially with the processes — which does lead to a greater depth and understanding over time. The Seth material; however, goes into the detail and nuances that I love to study. It's all good!
Thank you for bringing this topic here to Intent. I can see that many people have not yet had the pleasure of "meeting" Seth — what delight is in store for those who choose to do so. : )

I quite agree with you，and I have some information for your reference, I believe that you will love it.:
