A Profound Afterdeath Writing of William James

"The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher" is an intriguing read and full of insights. I would have to admit that I only read one of Roberts' previous works, that of The Nature of Personal Reality (great book), and I didn't fully grasped Seth's teachings. However, this book is indeed a profound writing of William James and his insightful perceptive after his death. I am rather fond of James' writings, and this book really increases James' influences on my thinking. Roberts truly did a wonderful job in translating James' thoughts, after his death, into this book, and I would certainly recommend it.

How to think, instead of What to think

Perhaps the most profound single book I've ever read..... James/Jane's brilliant treatise on the combined effect of the distorted fictions of Freud, Darwin, and Western religion is worth the price of the book alone. The last three chapters are some of the most inspiring material ever written. Should be required reading for those who worship assumptions.

As good as any Seth book

This is a great book and belongs in the library of any Seth enthusiast. The information is terrific and presents many of Seth's ideas from a "lower than Seth" perspective but still higher than our physical perspective but closer than Seth's.

Beautifully written, an excellent and tender companion

This is a warm and enticing journey leading from the past into the future. This book draws you in and transports you to another level of reality with the most amazing insights and explanations of how our belief system was molded and the culture of the western world was shaped, based mainly on religious and scientific ideas. In simple and concise language a very beautiful picture of a bygone era was painted with loving care and a tender sense of humour. Then, in profound and graphic detail, a most brilliant future was depicted for all of us to look forward to. This book can be used as a bridge to marry all the wonderful ideas espoused in Seth's books. A most invigorating and soothing work.I am eternally grateful to Jane Roberts and Robert Butts for devoting their lives to this work, they have done so many of us an enormous service.
