Seth's effect on the world or Are we getting it?

Millions of Seth and Jane's books have been sold since the first (The Seth Material) was published in 1970. I have to assume millions of people have read and to some extent, have tried to understand and incorporate these messages into their lives. I wonder what effect this has had on our civilization's present day realities?

My husband has questioned why the material-theories-information is not more well-known? If this is so great and so important--important enough that all of Jane and Rob's notes, manuscripts, poetry, paintings, etc are now housed in the Yale University Library--then why is it not required reading in every freshman philosophy or physics or biology class? Why had we never heard of this until later in life, and then, just by chance? How do so many remain unaware of this powerful body of work?

Good question. Perhaps the following is a clue (an excerpt from material given in Feb. 1964 at the beginning of Jane's partnership with Seth):

"Later I will attempt to show you where the boundaries are--though (with a laugh) there really are no boundaries--that form a variety of planes [realities] into a sphere of relation in which, to some extent, cause-and-effect operates as you understand it. Beyond that for a long time there will be no need for me to go any more deeply. I will speak of the entity, the personalities, the reincarnations, the diverse personality fragment groupings, the planes with which you are similar or can understand, and ultimately try to deal with your questions, implied if not spoken, as to where entities came from to begin with."

You're kidding right? Many of us would read the above and then close the book--not knowing even how to approach that paragraph. What does it mean?

And this: "Needless to say, I wanted you to know that there is much more than even this, complexities that are truly astounding, intelligences that operate in what I suppose you would call a gestalt fashion, building blocks of vitalities of truly unbelieveable maturity, awareness, and comprehension. These are the near ultimate [as I understand such things]."

Seth does go on to explain things in terms accessible to us in his books, within the framework of our lives here on planet earth. What I have found is a warmth and caring that comes through in the work--the reassurances, the joy he has for life, and the faith he has in all of us as we are a part of what he is. We have value as does he.

"This material should not make you feel unimportant or insignificant. The framework is so woven that each particle [of consciousness] is dependent upon every other. The strength of one adds to the strength of all. The weakness of one weakens the whole. The energy of one recreates the whole. The striving of one increases the potentiality of everything that is, and this places great responsibility on every consciousness."

He ends the session with this statement: "I would even advise a double reading of the above sentence, for it is a keystone, and a vital one. Rising to challenges is a basis for existence in every aspect of existence. It is the developer of all abilities, and at the risk of being trite, it is the responsibility of even the most minute particle of consciousness to use its own abilities, and all of its abilities, to the utmost. Upon the dgree to which this is done rests the power and coherence of everything that is."

Hopefully you can see, the message Seth sends is important (understatement, right?) I guess it is not so important that everyone read or have access to the Seth books, but that everyone's lives are lived to the fullest regardless of religion or dogma or philosophy subscribed to. I just know that these books have been a revelation and have opened up my intellect as well as vitally touching my non-intellectual self.
