Life Changing!

This book made sense out of all the craziness in my life and in the world.

This book changed how I view life, how I live it

I own 8 copies of this book, 5 of which are hard bound, and probably read it over 30 times straight through as well. Of all the Seth books you can find, this one contains the most information, inspiration and spine-tingling text imaginable. You can literally turn to any random page and learn something amazing within a few minutes of reading. In fact, once you've read it for your first time, you'll almost instantly want to return into the pages for another magical moment, and you'll smile as you spot it occasionally on your bookshelf. I read this book with some serious doubts for the first time when I was 16. At 320 lbs, I was a miserable wreck, looking to food and the lonliness of my room to find meaning in life. I read this book along with some other psychology texts, thinking my understanding of the world would benefit from getting a psych degree in college. But after reading this, and discussing the topics with my mentor at the time, I realized that I was indeed in control of my own destiny. I started on a diet and exercise, determined to lose weight and improve myself. This quest lasted 9 months. I could taste the finish line as I ran five miles every day. Even when it was pouring snow, went back home, put on cleats, then returned to running again. My mother actually made fun of my "wet running suit" I'd wear on days that it rained - yes I was that dedicated. At 170 lbs, I began working out with weights and slowed down the running. Looking much better, feeling so much more confident, I had done the exercises in this book every night and kept a journal. I still have those journals, and occasionally read through them to see just how powerful the inspirational pages are in this awesome book. It totally, completely, and absolutely changed my life in every way possible. The funniest part is, you see the same theme over and over - in Tony Robbins books, in "pickup artist" texts such as David DeAngelo. Everyone has come to the same conclusion that Jane Roberts wrote down years and years and years ago. You do indeed create your own reality.

The title of the book speaks for itself.

I find it quite humorous that a customer cautioned the use of the Ouija board, as if "negative" entities existed independently of our own creative powers. It makes me wonder if the book was even partially read to begin with. With honesty, wit and understanding, this book dismantles such ideas (very popular within the metaphysical community) with such clarity and intelligence that it's not surprising that some have a reluctance toward these ideas. The idea that we each create our reality is not a small idea, nor some fancy idea thrown out for the sake of being closer to a greater spirit. It's such a huge chunk of an idea that it will baffle the reader to think that every single event, everything that surrounds his or her life, including the stones, the rocks and the trees all around are being simultaneously created by our consciousness. This does not mean that our surroundings don't in return create their own reality, they do, and they create us in return. 'Nature...' beautifully illustrates how every belief we have creates its own physical counterpart. This means that if we believe in 'negative' entities we get to experience our own creations, whether out of body or in our body. Possessions are a clear example of this. If we believe that men or women are untrustworthy, we are setting ourselves up to create such individuals in our lives. More this book goes into great detail as to how consciousness is always in a state of creativity and how we create other offshoots of our own personality bank that continue on in other systems of reality, how from the present we are simultaneously recreating our pasts, our futures and even our present. This book also explores the importance of our emotions and the value they have in enabling the personality to create physical reality. Basically, 'Nature...' does ultimate justice to the individual in affirming his true power and his heritage and never degrades the individual by insisting that he or she follow any spiritual dogma or highly "evolved" virtues. This book is the wonderful companion for every individual who wishes to know how beautiful, how wonderful, how exquisite they are.

Profound, loving, wonderful. It changed my life.

This book is, along with "Seth Speaks", and a few of the other "Seth" books, the most important set of books I have ever read. The information comes from a personality known a "Seth", a teacher who was channeled by Jane Roberts. Seth has lived many lives on Earth, and his perspective, as one who once lived here but now "resides" in another dimension, is riveting. I know many people will find it very weird to consider the idea that a "dead" person could channel information, but after reading this book I think you will be convinced.The book is about meta-physics in the truest sense of the world - above physics. Unlike religion, which presents a set a dogmatic beliefs, this book presents non-judgemental information.The approach is "try it; if it makes sense to you, use it." Some of the insights have to do with how we shape our own reality. Seth teaches us that we always have a choice about what is happening in our lives, and provides insights as to why seemlingly bad things may be happening. In all cases, these things have to do with something that we have chosen. Its not about karma, or retribution, or atonement. Its more about creating the kind of life you want to have for yourself. Once you realize the mechanics of things and how the universe works, you can shape your life to better suit you. This is what I mean by meta-physics. This book is almost a "how to guide" of the universe. Once you know what the mechanisms are, you have a much better time understanding how to use them.I don't mean to say that this is simple. The lessons are often complex and difficult to make sense of. Part of that has to with the notion that the way in which our earthly thought process works only captures a very small part of what the universe is all about. Our brains don't always "get it." But the good news is that our "souls" do.I can honestly say my life was dramatically improved by this and the other Jan Roberts books. They take a lot of work - you have to be willing to let go of lots of concepts you've spent your whole life building. But if you do, the world starts making a whole lot more sense. What more can one ask of a book?
