INTRODUCTION BY

JANE ROBERTS

I 'm proud to publish this book under my own name, though I don't

fully understand the mechanics of its production or the nature of

the personality I assume in delivering it. I had no conscious work to do

on the book at all. I simply went into trance twice a week, spoke in a

"mediumistic" capacity for Seth, or as Seth, and dictated the words to

my husband, Robert Butts, who wrote them down.

I consider the book "mine" in that I don't believe it could have been

written without me and my particular abilities. On the other hand, I real-

ize that far more is involved. I had to read the manuscript to find out

what was in it, for example; and to that extent the book doesn't seem

mine. But what does that mean?

My idea briefly is this: Our usual orientation is focused pretty exclu-

sively in what we think of as the "real" world, but there are many real-

ities. By shifting our consciousness, we can glimpse these alternate

realities, and all of them are the appearance that Reality takes under

certain conditions. I don't believe that we can necessarily describe one

in terms of another.

For years I've been confused, trying to define Seth in the usual true-

and-false world offacts. There he's accepted as an independent spirit

- a spirit guide by those with spiritualistic beliefs - or as some dis-

placed portion of my own personality by the scientific community. I
