THE GOD OF JANE

Summary

The God of Jane is a courageous and deeply insightful inquiry into humanity’s relationship with spirituality, self-trust, and the creative power inherent in every individual. It is both an invitation and a challenge to step into one’s own authority, to trust personal impulses, and to redefine the boundaries of spiritual understanding.

In The God of Jane, Jane Roberts offers her most personal exploration of the Seth material, fearlessly questioning her own psychic abilities, the teachings she’s channeled, and the cultural and religious beliefs that shape our understanding of reality. Through a blend of poetry, self-experimentation, and introspection, Roberts confronts societal structures that promote distrust of self and consciousness, ultimately discovering a deeply individual connection to the larger consciousness—or “God.”

“This book,” she writes, “is the story of my efforts to put Seth’s material to work in daily life; to free myself from many hampering cultural beliefs; and most of all, to encounter and understand the nature of impulses.”

“Since we are, apparently, natural god-makers, it’s about time that we begin to examine the psychic and psychological processes involved. Ultimately we form our entire civilizations around such beliefs. Obviously then, the processes themselves arouse the deepest levels of the psyche. The events of any religion become supercharged. The heady mixture of psychic and historic events fuses and henceforth cannot be separated.

We must stop automatically taking such information at face value, translating it automatically through ancient beliefs. We must look directly at our own experience again—and learn to trust it. We must be our own psychic naturalists, combining reason with intuition. We must refuse to let old theories define our realities for us, limiting and distorting the very scope of our lives.” -- Jane Roberts
