Conversations With Seth: The Story of Jane Roberts ESP Class, Combined Volumes 1 & 2

by Susan M. Watkins, George Rhoads (Illustrator), Jane Roberts (Introduction)

Susan Watkins, close friend of Jane Roberts- one of the most respected psychics of the twentieth century- attended Roberts's ESP class from 1968 to 1975. Throughout the years, Watkins and her fellow classmates asked themselves and Seth, the entity who spoke through Roberts, difficult questions regarding personal reality. Faced with incidents of serious illness, painful relationships, financial hardship, and natural catastrophes they challenged Seth's repeated statement that we each "create our own reality." In addition to being a well-written, highly entertaining historical account of the late Jane Roberts and of the class- with its diverse members, raucous atmosphere, and sometimes heated arguments- Conversations With Seth reveals the profound insights that individual class members and the group as a whole discovered over insights into the origin of both the troubling and triumphant events in our lives and insights into the vast nature of human consciousness.

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.
