Psychic Politics: Jane Roberts

by Jane Roberts

Book Overview

"Psychic Politics" is Jane Roberts' search for the rules that govern our inner life-the links between daily, subjective experience and the greater Reality that nourishes all our existence. This is not only her most challenging book, but a very personal investigation in which the sources of dream and myth, and the creative wellsprings of sex and spirituality, appear in their full and breathing relationship to daily life.

Jane at her best

I've read the Seth books and learned much from them, but some of the Jane books are even better. Seth can be tedious in comparison to Psychic Politics. I recommend The Seth Material, Seth Dreams..., Adventures in Consciousness and Psychic Politics, more or less in that order (although Seth Dreams was published much later). Adventures and Psychic Politics apply Seth/Jane's ideas to real life events in Jane's life, described in a vivid way that gives these books an added dimension, making them more immediately "real" and a true pleasure to read.Thematically, I would summarize the ideas in this book as a system in which one learns to view the "aspects" of the psyche independently of any pre-conceived "frames" such as religious dogma. This approach is so profound and so sane that most belief systems seem trite in comparison. Jane is at her most enlightened here. I strongly recommend this book and the ones that lead up to it; read this after Adventures in Conscoiusness to get the most out of it.

"Must" reading for students of metaphysics and spirituality.

Psychic Politics: An Aspect Psychology Book focuses on the links between ordinary, everyday life and the greater Reality that nourishes all existence. The late Jane Roberts (1929-1984), the author of the Seth books, was considered to be one of the foremost psychics of our times and in Psychic Politics introduces three concepts that are key to understanding the entire body of her literary and metaphysical work: the library (a super-real storehouse of "probable" books that tell of the paths human consciousness has not yet taken); Counterparts (simultaneous incarnations living on earth today so as to broaden the fabric of their individual soul's experience); and the codicils (an alternate set of rules for human existence that have the capacity to transform the framework of human civilization. Psychic Politics is "must" reading for students of metaphysics, psychology, and human spirituality.

Jane's Usual Excellent Stuff

This is a "Jane" book as opposed to a "Seth" book; it dovetails very well with Vols 1 and 2 of "Unknown Reality: A Seth Book". Much of the book presumes a prior reading of "Adventures of Consciousness" (another "Jane" book) so I would suggest you read that one first.I find this particular "Jane" book very helpful in expounding on some of the things Seth discusses in "Unknown Reality".
