The text offers a dynamic, animate cosmos where potential is not just possible but actively pursued.

📝 Description: Dreams, Evolution, and Value Fulfillment, Volume Two: A Seth Book (Revised) Roberts, Jane

"The Seth books present an alternate map of reality with a new diagram of the psyche...useful to all explorers of consciousness." -- Deepak Chopra, M. D., author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success From the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality In the first volume of Dreams, "Evolution," and Value Fulfillment, Seth presented an in-depth picture of the origin of all life -- from the inner dream world to the vast display of material creation. Here, in Volume Two, Seth continues his explanation of the physical world as an ongoing self-creation -- a direct and intentional outgrowth of the wisdom of the life forms that inhabit it, including humanity. He expands upon his vision of a thoroughly animate universe, where virtually every possibility not only exists, but is constantly encouraged to achieve its highest potential. In his typical awe-inspiring manner, Seth sheds light on many controversial and complex subjects, including: - The ways in which our religions have stifled the human spirit - Surprising insight into life's meaning and purpose - The genetic basis of faith, hope, and charity - The pursuit of pleasure as a fundamental human need - How each species keeps millions of characteristics within its genetic bank for various contingencies "Dreams are mental work and play combined, psychic and emotionally rich creative dramas. They also involve you in the most productive of enterprises as you begin to play with versions of events that are being considered for physical actualization..." -- Jane Roberts, Speaking for Seth

💎 Expert review

💎
Esoterica Books editorial team
Occult literature desk
This text demands patience and an open mind, as it presents complex metaphysical frameworks that may feel abstract or overwhelming to practical-minded skeptics. It does not suit readers looking for concrete scientific evidence or those who prefer straightforward narrative structures over dense philosophical discourse. However, for seekers of esoteric knowledge, it offers a compelling alternative to materialist worldviews. The argument that religious structures can suppress spirit is provocative and may challenge conventional faith, making it less suitable for dogmatic believers. Ultimately, it rewards persistent readers with a dynamic, optimistic view of human evolution and consciousness.

Needed this for my research. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.

Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them.

Almost perfect

Exactly what I was looking for. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. I'd have loved an index, but that's on the original text. Recommended with reservations.

Exceeded expectations

Was skeptical at first. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.

Good addition to the shelf

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. Solid, if not essential.
