I am primarily a personality with a message: You create the world you know. “To write this book-and in many of my communications with Ruburt -I adopt from my own bank of past personalities those characteristics that seem appropriate. “I have been conscious before your Earth was formed,” Roberts (as Seth) writes in Seth Speaks: The Eternal Validity of the Soul, the best-selling book from all of the Seth Material.

Seth also guided Roberts in writing down his spiritual teachings and creeds, which combined with transcriptions of hundreds of his lectures, make up 32 published works known collectively as “The Seth Books.” The Seth Books, along with audio and video recordings of “Seth Sessions,” during which Roberts would lecture as Seth, make up “The Seth Material.” She channelled him hundreds, if not thousands of times over the course of the 1960s, ’70s and early ’80s, delivering speeches with a commanding, masculine energy that differed remarkably from her normal speaking habits-particularly because Seth spoke with a distinct but indistinguishable accent (described by many as a mix of West Indian and South African, with nodes of Italian and British). “Seth’s empowering message literally launched the New Age movement.” But here’s the kicker: Seth is, technically, Roberts. You’re probably asking yourself, Who the heck is Seth? “ the internationally acclaimed spiritual teacher who spoke through the author Jane Roberts while she was in trance, and coined the phrase ‘You Create Your Own Reality,'” writes the Seth Learning Center. I had made first contact with Seth, the “energy personality essence no longer focused in physical matter” channeled by world-famous medium, Jane Roberts, who grew up right here in Saratoga. Recently, I plunged my arm past the world’s first potato chip, digging far below the recently renovated Adelphi and even further still, until-caught off guard by a sudden surge of underground mineral water-I found myself tumbling down a paranormal rabbit hole. As a journalist for saratoga living, I spend hours rifling through Saratoga Springs’ bottomless bag of tricks, searching for new and interesting stories.
