So context isn't lost, below is some of what I said on """"Subtle Traveler's"""" thread.
Below is the link to what Michael Prescott said about Seth.
http://michaelprescott.typepad.com/michael_prescotts_blog/2007/10/my-problem-wit...If somebody wants to make a comment about Michael Prescott I won't take offense and say you are going off topic, since I named him on this thread.
If you want to say something about ACIM, pro or con, I won't mind, since Rondelle added that name to the conversation.
Sorry, but I'm not sorry for taking exception to the "Seth golden standard" comment on another thread.
*******************
I don't consider Seth to be the gold standard.
Jane Roberts tried to make it as a science fiction writer and failed.
She tried writing about ESP and failed.
Then she supposedly got into channeling Seth.
I once read an article where a man who used to work for Jane Robert's publisher said that people at that publishing company knew that she was a fraud. He wrote that her husband would speak to people who attended her "channelings" before they supposedly took place, tell her what he found out, and she would use that information to mislead the people who attended her meetings.
I read an article where it stated that she admitted on her death bed that she faked the channelings.
She also supposedly channeled Rembrandt and William James. She wrote the Oversoul Seven trilogy book without channeling, this shows that she can come up with material without channeling. Not that a lot of her material was original.
Recently I had a detailed dream that made the point that she was a fraud. Perhaps so I might react to the belief in her as exhibited by some at this forum.
The Seth books might say some things that are correct, but what about that parallel self business? If I remember correctly, during a "channeling" session, Seth spoke about when Jane and her husband saw their parallel selves at a bar (or restaurant). Has anyone done the same? Does anybody know anyone who has met parallel selves? (how parallel selves would make it from one universe to another is another question) If it was a matter of Jane being fooled by Seth, then how come she and her husband didn't have a problem with the parallel self meeting Seth discussed?
I watched a youtube video where Jane was supposedly channeling Seth, and then right in the middle of the channeling, for a brief moment she spoke in her regular voice and said "we'll take a break in a moment." How did she shift from one speaker to the other so quickly?
Gold standard?
If anybody is interested, I say more below.
