From the Author of SETH SPEAKSand THE NATURE OF PERSONAL REALITYSpeaking exclusively through Jane Roberts, Seth has repeatedly stressed the concept that we create our own reality according to our individual beliefs. But how do our realities merge and combine to form mass reactions such as the overthrow of governments, the birth of a new religion, wars, epidemics, earthquakes, and new periods of art, architecture, and technology? In this pioneering work, Seth explores the connection between personal beliefs and world events. He pinpoints the unconscious - and often negative - beliefs pervading science and religion, medicine and mythology, and offers thought-provoking reflections on Darwinism, Freudianism, religions, cults, and medical beliefs. With Fascinating and inspiring implications, Seth asserts that the personal impulses we are often taught to see as dangerous, chaotic, or contradictory are instead crucial to the best interest of the species and the natural world, for they lead us to live 'not only as loving caretakers, but as partners with other species.' Only people who trust their spontaneous impulses can be consciously wise enough to choose from a myriad of probable futures the most promising events . . . 'The Seth books present and alternate map of reality with a new diagram of the psyche . . . useful to all explorers of consciousness.' - Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success'I would like to see the Seth books as required reading for anyone on their spiritual pathway.

In this book, Seth discusses how each individual's power to create their reality merges with others "to form mass reactions such as the overthrow of governments, the birth of a new religions, wars, epidemics, earthquakes, and new periods of art, architecture, and technology." Seth pinpoints the unconscious (and often negative) beliefs pervading science and religion, medicine and mythology. According to Seth, the basic goal of any species is quality of life, and not survival as many people believe. Individuals often choose to die together so that "their deaths amount to a mass statement." There is a rhyme and reason behind all mass events. They are the result of belief systems held by many individuals. In this work Seth also introduces his concepts on FRAMEWORK 2, the inner reality which is - " the source of your world". He explains how Framework 2 can be used to change our world for the better. How we can learn to live here "not only as loving caretakers, but as partners with other species…" "… For the natural state of life is one of joy, of acquiescence in which action is effective, and the power to act is a natural right."

Book description
Wij hebtien nooit tegen iemand gezegd dal hij iets moet doen, behalve de vermogens van het bewustzijn onder ogen zien.1'
Jane Roberts
INDIVIDU EN WERELDGEBEUREN
Een Seth-boek
In de vorige door hem gedicteerde boeken (Seth spreekt, Het wezen van de persoonlijke werkelijkheid en Je lichaam, je leven en het wezen van creativiteit) benadrukt Seth dat we on/e eigen werkelijkheid scheppen. Als onze individuele werkelijkheden nu samengaan, hoe kunnen er dan zulke ingrijpende en massale gebeurtenissen uit voortkomen als oorlog, aardbevingen of nieuwe tijdperken in kunst en wetenschap?
Seth wijst ons dan op de invloed die onze gedachten en overtuigingen hebben op bijvoorbeeld wetenschap en religie, zonder dat we ons deze bewust zijn. Daarbij gaat hij in op de psychologische achtergronden van leiders als Hitler en Njxon, op epidemieën en natuurrampen. Ook verklaart hij religieuze en wetenschappelijke cultussen en massagebeurlenisscn, zoals de bijna-ramp met de kerncentrale in Harrisburg en de zelfmoord in Jonestown — waarbij individuen verkiezen samen te sterven, zodat hun dood in feite een massale verklaring is.
Seth probeert duidelijk te maken hoe we onze wereld kunnen verbeteren. Daarbij gaat hij uit van de „bron van jouw wereld" — een niveau van een hogere werkelijkheid waarin alle positieve voornemens verwezenlijkt zijn — en hoe die zich laat vertalen en realiseren in het leven van alledag.
Iedereen kan een „praktisch idealist" zijn en een bijdrage leveren aan die realisatie, zoals Seth tenslotte laat zien: ,,Het wezen van het leven is er een van blijheid, van overgave en daarin is elke actie doeltreffend en elke daadkracht een vanzelfsprekend recht."
