The knowledge gained from Seth helped Watkins and her classmates face serious illness, painful relationships, financial hardship, and natural catastrophe. It also changed their lives. In addition to being a wellwritten, highly entertaining historical account of the late Jane Roberts and her class, Conversations with Seth reveals the profound insights discovered by class membersinsights into the origin of both the troubling and triumphant events in our lives and into the vast nature of human consciousness. Roberts' Seth material is consistently one of the top two most visited collections at the Yale University Archives. The story that launched the New Age movement.

So far I am enjoying the casual style of this book and the more personal approach that Susan Watkins takes with Seth. I would recommend this two book set to someone who knows something about Jane Roberts or her books on the Seth Material. See the Nature of Personal Reality. Also anyone interested in ESP and paranormal experimentation would enjoy the stories of this group.

I loved reading about Seth and Jane Roberts and the class members & the ‘goings-on’ (during the weekly held ESP class) - as they were experienced from the standpoint of Susan Watkins. I simply like her style of writing and the way she expresses herself ... in all her books.

This book helped me in understanding the death of animals as a positive life experience. It is a very small part of a most fascinating book but remains my strongest memory.

Provide insights what were discussed during an ESP classes. A breadth of fresh air if one reads too many Seth Books consecutively.

If you love Seth (as in "The Seth Material"--that guy), you should love this book. Partly a behind-the scenes story of Jane Roberts's class in Elmira she held while channeling the famous books. Nature of Personal Reality is particularly mentioned in class. WARNING: if you have no interest in metaphysics or Seth, this would not be a book for you. But for those who do, it's not only fun in a gossipy kind of way, but it's a nice refresher course in Sethian metaphysics.

For fans of the Seth material, this is like reading a gossip magazine. You get to attend those famous ESP classes, to meet the people who came, to eavesdrop on the things they talked about. The pace is variable, and not everything the class did is equally interesting. But there are lots of intriguing ideas scattered around, and I found plenty to stretch my consciousness.
