Description
A new synthesis and expansion of the groundbreaking Seth teachings
The Seth books, channeled by the late Jane Roberts in the 1970s, galvanized a whole generation of spiritual explorers. The entity known as Seth turned familiar mystical concepts into a radically new framework and introduced little known truths, including a unique understanding of how we create our own reality with our conscious beliefs. But in important ways, the Seth information hit a temporary dead end, especially through confusion about just what creating your own reality means.
After nearly 5 decades exploring Seth's ideas, along with many other spiritual approaches, John Friedlander, a member of Jane Roberts's original Seth classes in 1974, has reframed the groundbreaking Seth teachings, recentering them in the awareness that all consciousness expands in all directions. He synthesizes Sethian teachings with an eclectic variety of concepts, schools, and influences, from aura reading, healing, and interpersonal engagement as taught by Lewis Bostwick, to Buddhism, reincarnation, karma, and the Theosophical practice of the seven planes, to conscious dying, nondual awareness, multipersonhood, and communication theory. Sharing engaging discussions from his classes, the author examines how you do create your own reality, but that no one controls reality, which is spontaneous and surprisingly creative.
By recentering Seth in the awareness that all consciousness expands in all directions Friedlander reveals many ways to support the meaningful engagement of life as it is, bringing more pleasure not just to what is easy, but even to your tensions and contradictions.

Reviews
"Often when I'm going through something painful my dad will email me some John Friedlander wisdom that supposedly corresponds to my plight. I'm always a bit wary (dads!), but Friedlander has such a wildly inclusive and expansive creative and spiritual vision that it's impossible not to feel called in, comforted, and braver for having read him. All the quotes my dad sent me are in this book; I hope it helps you in your time of transformation as it helped me." * Miranda July, filmmaker, artist, and writer *
"Take a seat. Open this book. Settle back and transform into a student of the universe within the outstanding chamber of cosmic truth Recentering Seth. Everything we must know about this world and beyond is described within these enlightening pages, from the structure of our energetic system to ways to deal with our emotions. Your guide, a multidimensional being with the originality and authority evocative of Seth, channels through John Friedlander to invite you deeper and further into the divine revelation that is life itself. Radiating profundity throughout, simply put, this is a powerful book about life." * Cyndi Dale, intuitive, healer, and author of The Subtle Body *
"Given the abstract nature of the Etheric and Astral realms, Friedlander has made the numinous remarkably easy to understand. His approach to intuition and channeling is both fluid and confident, rooted in years of teaching. He manages to create a resilient ecosystem of practices that will withstand the test of time, rather than a rigid set of rules liable to quickly fall out of fashion. Friedlander's world is one where psychicism is not a superpower reserved for the elite but a subtle skillset anyone is free to develop. This book is a gift that has the magical ability of reminding the reader that they, too, are a gift." * Sophie Strand, poet, historical fiction writer, and author of The Flowering Wand *
"In the mental atmosphere in which our minds are immersed, the psychosphere, there exists useful information for those adventurers with the courage to believe. This Multipersonhood channel source called Seth has, does, and will continue to help us answer fundamental human questions: Who am I? Why am I here? Through John Friedlander's lawyer mind we learn that synchronicities offer clues to how we participate in the creation of our own realities." * Bernard D. Beitman, M.D., author of Connecting with Coincidence and Meaningful Coincidences *
"If you have ever suffered and experienced pain, this book is for you. Drink in the pages. Their healing salve illuminates the human psyche with gold. Friedlander's way of literary kintsugi comforts the brutality of illusion with medicine for the soul. Relatable and personal, the universal qualities of his autobiographical offerings sublimely weave a north star into the creases of our lived experience and consciousness." * Rachel Wolfe, MFA, artist *
