Dateline January 15, 2010: CASC RELEASES DVD OF LYNDA’S 2009 TALK
Speaking of Lynda’s 2009 conference talk, the good folks at California Seth Conference (CASC) have just released a DVD of it. All of the proceeds go to CASC – that is, neither SNI nor Lynda financially benefits. We decided we’d rather help the fledging conference (their second is in March) stay around for a long, long time, and all donations help such efforts. And if you’re planning to attend one of the SNI workshops this year, do consider buying the DVD as either an intro to Lynda’s ideas or as a conference refresher. To learn more, click on Directory > Conferences/Workshops > California Seth Conference. (By the way, Lynda will be speaking at their March conference about the safe universe and living in trust.)

Dateline January 13, 2010: SETH SINGLES COMING VALENTINE’S DAY!
What could be more symbolically perfect for the single Seth reader than seeing Seth Singles launched on Valentine’s Day?! Jeff Kiefer, owner of the popular social networking site SethSpace (and web developer for SNI) has chosen February 14 to launch his latest brainchild. And Jeff’s looking for input on what you single Sethies would like to see on the site; that is, what profile questions would suit your needs. What info do you think is important to know about a prospective romantic partner? What Seth-oriented questions would you like to see asked in order to determine compatibility? Etc. To respond to Jeff, click on SethSpace/Singles. Once you’re on SethSpace, go to Forums.

Dateline January 4, 2010: A HEARTFELT GOOD-BYE TO A SETHIAN FRIEND
On January 3, Carol Funk, long-time member of the Seth community and founding member of the Colorado Seth Conference, passed on. Her intelligence and wit, to say nothing of her good heart, endeared her to many of us. May her husband of many decades, Jim, and their family find peace of mind soon, and may the rest of us wish her well on her journey forward – with our deepest, sincerest regret that her journey forward came too soon for us. A most moving video has been created by her grandnephew Chris Colvard, which brings Carol to life once again, if only in our imaginings. It is on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com//video/video.php?comments=&v=241329044308. Godspeed, Carol, from so very many of us, your friends.

Dateline January 1, 2010: SETH'S NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
It just would not be a proper New Year if someone didn't post Seth's resolutions. So, we are assuring the continuation of a wonderful tradition by providing an article that contains the four resolutions that Seth suggested to Jane and Rob on January 1, 1979. They provide a compelling reminder for all of us that one's focus creates, and that we can change our lives by changing our minds. While they get special mention on New Year’s Day, we should also remember that they are good reading on many other occasions throughout the year. These timeless gems may be found in the document file under the listing with this title in Directory > Seth-Based Articles. Enjoy!

Dateline December 15, 2009: HAPPY HOLIDAYS, SETH FRIENDS!
We want to wish you a splendid holiday season, full of good cheer and peaceful minds. And if you'd like a dose of Seth, we've posted "Christmas with Seth" in Seth-Based Articles, a compilation of some things Seth offers us about the season and our place in it. For instance, "Look at the Christmas tree; your cells and molecules shine a million times more brightly. Your eyes glitter with far greater light. You are love in corporeal form. You do not have to look for it or wonder where to find it or give it in packages with bright ribbon. You are packages with bright ribbon." After the holidays are over, we'll remove the document from the archives until December 2010, and then bring it back in its lovely gift wrap of words that resonate around the world.  - Merry Christmas, Seth and Jane and Rob!

Dateline December 1, 2009: SETH SINGLES, ANYONE?
At the last two conferences of 2009 (LA and NYC), the subject of single Seth readers attempting to find a partner who is compatible with their thinking came up in casual small group conversations. Actually, it's come up over the years, and this time we decided to do something about it. Enter our own Jeff Keifer, the web genius behind the development of our Seth Network site, as well as SethSpace (the social networking place for Sethies) and the California Seth Conference site. Jeff was very enthusiastic about the idea of establishing a meeting place for single Seth readers along the lines of, say, Match.com, and has indeed now secured SethSingles.com as its URL. Look for something in the first quarter of 2010 - which, of course, we'll bring to your awareness when it's ready to announce. Go Single Sethies!

Dateline November 30, 2009: JANE'S ESP CLASS MEMBERS EXPOSED!
We are pleased to announce a new Gallery section featuring photos from ESP class members, both then and now. Check out the new "Jane’s ESP Class Members" category for photos recently posted by Barrie Gellis (and a few others), one of the “New York Boys”. His pictures feature some of the regulars who made the weekly trip from NYC to Elmira for class each week. Barrie is a poet and writer who is active in the online Seth community and recently spoke at the East Coast Seth Conference. He has posted some of his writings in our Seth-Based Articles (including his conference presentation), listed both his blog and message board in our Blogs and Discussion Groups, and has a listing for his poetry book in Seth-Influenced Media. We very much appreciate Barrie’s contribution to our idea for a Gallery category just for Jane's class, and know you will enjoy it immensely as it expands over time. Keep your eye on it, folks.

Dateline November 28, 2009: FIND THAT UNIQUE CHRISTMAS GIFT FROM OTHER SETHIES

You will find that your fellow Seth readers are quite a creative bunch. :)

Dateline November 26, 2009: NANCY ASHLEY'S BACK ON OUR RADAR!
Good news for those of you around the Seth material in the 1980s. Nancy Ashley, one of the first authors to take the Seth material and make it "practical" in her three workbooks (Create Your Own Reality, Create Your Own Happiness, and Create Your Own Dreams), is considering another book, this time possibly on what Seth says about the emerging new species of consciousness. Whatever Nancy decides to write, count on it being excellent. (BTW, she's still living in Hawaii.) And as far as her iconic workbooks are concerned, while they have been out of print for years they are thankfully now available on Amazon in used format. Go to Seth-Influenced Media and look for the listing, "Three Seth Workbooks by Nancy Ashley," for what she has to say about them, and then check out Amazon. Do yourselves a favor, folks!

Dateline November 15, 2009: SETH & JANE ROBERTS ENGLISH LANGUAGE BOOK LISTING
Check out the listing of this name in the Seth-Based Articles section to find a file containing a list of titles and the latest/current publishers of the English language versions of the Seth/Jane Books. As we responded to inquiries from newer Seth readers concerning requests for Seth book lists and related publication information, we realized that it would benefit readers new and old to have a listing of the Seth and Jane books in a separate article on our site to which we could refer these types of questions. So, we created one! We hope that it will help those new to the material learn about books of which they might be unaware. It can also serve as a guide to longer term readers who may wish to fill out their collection. In the future, we will also be providing information on foreign language translations for our non English speaking friends.

Dateline November 14, 2009:  THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESENCE: A PSY-TIME DOCUMENT
Hello Seth friends, Lynda Dahl here. When all is said and done, without an innate, integrated faith and trust in ourselves, in All That Is, and in the nature of reality, we can read the Seth material until the cows come home and still create an unsafe universe for ourselves. On my personal journey into “safety,” I created a Psy-time document of excerpts from William James’ comments in Jane's book, The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher, about the atmospheric presence. James is talking from his position after death, but I intuitively knew each comment was as relevant to me, alive and well in a physical reality, as to him. And I knew if I could truly see and experience what James saw and experienced, then it would ever so naturally become the beginning of my platform of safety in life. It has been more beneficial than I can express. This Psy-time document can be found in Seth-Based Articles.

Dateline November 12, 2009: SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE SETH-FRIENDLY BUSINESS

And, for those of you looking for something unique, or just interested in the creative diversity that the Seth material can inspire, do check out the listings. You might find that a Sethie in your area has just the product or service that you are looking for…

Dateline October 31, 2009: AND THE BEAT GOES ON....AND THE BEAT EXPANDS
All Seth conferences and workshops are extraordinary in their energy and exuberance. How could they not be, when Sethies hungry for connection to, and discussion with, other Seth readers come together? On October 24-25, Rick Stack, publisher of many Seth books and producer of Seth conferences and workshops, held his first annual West Coast Seth Conference in Los Angeles, and it was unique in an important respect. It brought together folks from other current Seth affiliated groups for the first time in person, and symbolically displayed a glimpse of the cooperation and camaraderie emerging in today's Sethian world. Dawn and Morgan McKay, committee members with the Colorado Seth Conference, were there, as was Lawrence Davidson, the producer of the California Seth Conference (and an ESP class member). And our own Michael Steffen and Lynda Dahl were happy to be participating, along with Anne Marie O'Farrell (literary agent for the Seth books and Rick's wife) and some of Jane's ESP class folks. Jeff Kiefer's SethSpace was also represented by several people, and from the local scene came Gilbert Anaya, founder of the L.A. Seth Group, and some of his group friends. ** Expect to see more and more of this combined, shared focus on growing our global Seth community and enjoying the heck out of the ride forward, together.

Dateline October 31, 2009: AND THE BEAT EXPANDS....TO ORANGE COUNTY
What can come of Seth readers attending conferences and workshops solely directed to the Seth material? Seth groups, the heart of the Sethian global community. Lynda Dahl lives Orange County. Because of significant interest at the L.A. West Coast Seth Conference by Orange County attendees, Lynda scheduled a get-to-know-you dinner for November 8, and it will also include members of Lynda's new Seth Meet-Up group. You can read more about this emerging Orange County group in Seth Groups/Networks, and while you're there, do explore the other listings to see if there's a Seth group in your area. And if not, think about starting one like these folks have done through their listings: Tom and Judy Ewing (Maine), Jude Todd (Santa Cruz, CA), Larry Hause (Minneapolis), and Francois de Mecquenem (Paris). ** Go Seth!

Dateline October 27, 2009: THE LAST SETH CONFERENCE OF THE YEAR!
They're almost all over, folks. Only one Seth conference out of six is left in the year 2009, and it's the East Coast Seth Conference in NYC Nov. 21-22. To learn more about this last possibility of the season, click on Conferences and Workshops. ** Hope to see you there!

Dateline October 15, 2009: TWO SNI 2010 WORKSHOPS READY FOR REGISTRATION
Two of our four recently announced Seth intensive workshops for 2010 are now open for registration, with full pricing, hotel and other information posted in Workshops, our new tab between Gallery and Bookstore. We're starting in San Mateo in April, and then moving on to Boston, Portland and Los Angeles. Our topic is "Trust and its Pivotal Role in Conscious Creation," and as we say in our workshop description, according to Seth trust is the one ingredient that is mandatory in order to create consciously and sustain a reality that pleases us. So we will look at the Seth material through more perceptive eyes, first identifying Seth’s concepts that stress to us that we are not primarily human consciousness in linear time, but wholly non-physical consciousness using linear time for our own purposes – and why that difference in thought makes all the difference to trust...and conscious creation. And then we will move on to the practical implications of what Seth is saying and how to integrate it into our conscious thinking – which then, as the nature of reality dictates, will automatically become our realities. ** Hope you can join us, friends. What's more heavenly than a weekend immersed in Seth?!  :-)

Dateline October 11, 2009: WHERE HAVE ALL THE SETH GROUPS GONE, LONG TIME PASSING...
As we've said before, Seth groups are the heart of the Sethian community. They pump continuing life and vigor into the minds and souls of Seth readers everywhere. Over the past decade they've been in decline, as evidenced by comparing groups listed in SNI's magazine of the 1990s, Reality Change: The Global Seth Journal, to those from that list that still exists. However, signs are beginning to sprout of their re-emergence. In Seth Groups/Networks, three listings are all about attempting to start new groups in Paris, Santa Cruz (California) and Minneapolis (Minnesota). We encourage anyone remotely interested to, through a listing, test the potential for your area, without a commitment to go further. Let Seth readers who live in your community contact you and just see where the probabilities take you. ** Go Seth!

Dateline October 9, 2009: WORLD'S FIRST SETH-BASED GAME
The creativity of Seth folks around the globe never ceases to amaze. Here's a sample we thought you'd appreciate. Designed by Yvonne Buonamici of Austin, TX, SethWorld is a totally new concept in gaming. Quoting from Yvonne's listing in Seth-Influenced Businesses: "It is a metaphysically based, completely open-ended game with no winners, no losers, and NO RULES! It is designed so that the players can create the game in the same manner we create our realities -- individually and en masse. The purpose of the game is to explore and uncover your beliefs, while having fun and stretching yourself creatively." Keep in mind that Christmas is just around the corner, Sethies!

Dateline October 1, 2009: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HAPPY 10,000th VISITOR!
Happy birthday to us all, folks! July 1 was our site launch date, and just today - exactly three months later - we logged in our 10,000th visitor! Coincidences and probabilities - marvelous constructs, aren't they? It's been a fun journey through those coincidences and probabilities, and it's our distinct pleasure to share that journey forward with so many global Seth readers. You guys are sincerely appreciated, and with us pulling together we truly CAN create the dream of a strong international Seth network. - Go, Seth!

Dateline October 1, 2009: MEET LAUREL DAVIES-BUTTS
Laurel Davies-Butts, Rob's second wife, lives in Sayre, Pennsylvania, where she and Rob spent many of their 23 years together after moving from Elmira, New York. She was instrumental in helping Rob prepare various books for publication over the years, as well as copying huge amounts of documents for the Yale archives and, in general, assisting with the Seth material. Recently we asked Laurel if she would consider writing whatever came to mind at the moment about Rob and her life with him. Gracious as always, Laurel's letter to all of us is included in Seth-Based Articles, along with a photo of her with Rob.

Dateline September 30, 2009: SETH AND WORLD BUSINESS
Seth readers are all over the globe and in all sorts of careers. We've enjoyed watching our directory of Seth-Friendly Businesses grow, and thought we'd bring a new one to your attention because of its unique focus on all things film. Sonic Voyage, of Rotterdam, Netherlands, makes high-end audiovisual productions, TV shows, films, commercials, video-clips and 3d animations. It's completely full-service, including movie-scoring, music production and post-production. If you get a chance, go to their listing and click on their website. Very professional, very "today," very impressive. The English version will be up and running soon!

Dateline September 15, 2009: SNI ANNOUNCES FOUR 2010 SETH INTENSIVE WORKSHOPS
Big news from SNI! We just posted info about four 2010 Seth intensive weekend workshops, titled "Trust and its Pivotal Role in Conscious Creation." We'll be taking our workshop to the San Francisco Bay area, Boston, Portland, and Los Angeles. Until our website pages are finished, you can read about the workshops in Workshops. Those of you from SNI of the 1990s, remember our very successful Consciously Creating Change workshops? Our new one is fashioned along similar lines, as you'll see in the write-up.

Dateline September 14, 2009: THE MOSSMAN ARCHIVE
Jerry Parmer, of Parmer Books in San Diego, California, recently received a for-sale consignment from Tam Mossman, Jane's editor at Prentice Hall and an observer at several of the Seth sessions and classes. The initial material Parmer Books received consisted of carbon copies of Seth sessions typed by Rob, a copy of a letter to Rob from Prentice Hall after Jane's death, releasing him from one of her future book contracts, two winter landscape paintings by Jane, and some writings by Jane, including an outtake from Oversoul Seven. It also included several photocopies of ESP class sessions, typed at the time by a class attendee from tape recordings and distributed to several people, and other materials not noted here. Some of the items have been sold, but others are still available. Please go to Seth-Influenced Media for further info.

Dateline September 11, 2009: SETH GOES TO YALE
As familiar as some of us are with the fact that copies of much of the Seth material is archived at Yale University, many still have not heard about it. Therefore, we've published a document in Seth-Based Articles that starts like this: "What does it take to become one of the most visited bodies of work in the Yale University Library archives? It takes being the Seth/Jane/Rob material." Indeed, as you'll read in the article, Jane's work is annually rated in the top ten collections visited - and there are 1,700 collections in the archives, many by world-renowned figures. (Go Seth!) We've also listed two Yale websites that give you info on what items of Jane's are now in the archives, and hours, directions, etc. if you plan to visit.

Dateline September 4, 2009: SCIENTIST SAHTOURIS PULLS THE SETHIAN WOOL OVER OTHER SCIENTISTS' EYES
Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris, evolution biologist, futurist and author, recently posted a fascinating must-read in Seth-Based Articles. It's titled "Consciousness as the Source of All Reality," and we'll let Elisabet's intro speak for itself: "After the Introduction in the attached document, written by myself as ‘Joseph Trebur’s words, this ‘speech’ is actually by Seth via Jane Roberts, who was called Rubert by Seth, a name I spelled backwards to make Trebur, while Joseph is the name Seth called Jane's husband Rob. I did this to try Seth’s concepts out on some scientists by pretending the lecture was given by a live speaker at Yale University, where all the Seth material is actually archived, to make it more credible to them. The ‘lecture and Q&A’ are a composite of only slightly edited, some reordered, quotes from The Nature of Personal Reality by Jane Roberts, 1974, the year I gave to this event. The Q&A questions are mine; the answer are Seth’s."

Dateline August 30, 2009: 1st CONFERENCE OF SETH/JANE ROBERTS, PARIS, FRANCE, 2010
We were very pleased to hear from Francois de Mecquenem that he is planning the 1st Conference of Seth/Jane Roberts in Paris on June 7, 2010. He will be releasing details later, but we wanted you to know about this major event now. If you'd like to communicate with Francois, his email is This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ; and his website is http://www.iblogyou.fr/sethroberts-france. Also, Francois has a listing in our directory under Seth Groups. * Best wishes, Francois!

Dateline August 29, 2009: SPREADING SETH TO CHINESE SPEAKERS: MEET SUNNY PAI
We first heard of Sunny Pai last month. She's an amazing Taiwan-born woman living near Toronto in Markham, Ontario, with ties to mainland China. Sunny has been reading Seth for five years and has already started a Seth group for Chinese-speaking folks in Markham. And quite interestingly, she travels to Zhuhai, China, two months every year to give hypnosis seminars, and while she has to be somewhat cautious, she works Seth into them and calls them "Mind, Body, and Soul." To read more about Sunny, look under Seth-Based Articles (where we've uploaded an intro to her background); Seth Groups (Chinese Speakers); Blogs and Discussion Groups (Chinese Speakers); Seth-Friendly Businesses (where her hypnosis company is listed), and our Gallery (under Seth Groups, Chinese Speaking). * You go, gal!

Dateline August 20, 2009: SETHNET MAIL LIST RETURNS TO SNI
In 1998, the original Seth Network launched the SethNet mail list, managed by volunteer Paul Helfrich. With the closing of the original SNI in 1999 upon co-founder Stan Ulkowski's death, we offered the list to Paul, and thankfully he accepted. Under Paul's auspices it flourished as an aspect of NewWorldView, bringing many thousands of Seth readers together over the last 10 years. Now that NewWorldView is changing focus, Paul has decided to close the list. In a very graceful gesture, he has returned the SethNet mail list name and structure to the hands of the new SNI for future development, if desired. Our sincere thanks to you, Paul! It feels as though a progeny of thought has returned home.

Dateline August 20, 2009: UPDATE ON TAIWAN SETH EDUCATION FOUNDATION
(See August 1, below, for background.) Almost 100 photos supplied by our Taiwanese Seth friends are now on display in the Gallery. These photos highlight some new information about their Foundation. You'll see pictures of Seth School, where the Foundation plans to build the Seth Training Institute. This is what they believe will become the spiritual home of their Seth family. Land was donated by a co-founder, and fundraising is underway for a building. * Also, take a look at Seth Village. It's a tranquil place offered to the public to stay, especially cancer patients hoping to gain self-healing power by tuning in to nature. They also offer Seth courses here, as well as meditation activities and counselors to guide people into self-awareness. Quite an amazing place.

Dateline August 15, 2009: VEREINIGUNG der SETHFREUNDE in EUROPE (Association of Seth-Friends in Europe):
Here's the intro to what they say in their listing: "Our 'Association of Seth-Friends' was founded in 1981 in Zurich, Switzerland. We have about 600 members all over Europe, though mainly in the German speaking countries, like Germany, Switzerland and Austria." They also hold an annual conference, and have for many years. Their upcoming one is in Switzerland (at times it is in Germany), and is listed below with other scheduled conferences. Also, do visit our Gallery (Seth Groups/Networks and Conferences/Workshops) and see many photos of this amazing group. Welcome, folks!

Dateline August 12, 2009: UPDATE FROM TAIWAN ON TYPHOON:
We heard from our Seth friends in Taiwan today after the typhoon hit with such strength. Here's what Chuan-Yao said: "Everything is OK with us. The damage mostly occurred in the southern part of Taiwan. But there was a lot of destruction in the farms and bridges. Our public traffic systems were badly influenced during last weekend. The flood destroyed many homes and killed some people. As we have learned in the Seth materials, this event has reunited our people in Taiwan. When we watched the TV news, everyone was moved. A lot of food and water are being sent to the flood area. Most people donate money to help those who are in need. The society is full of love now." Our hearts and hopes go out to our Sethian Taiwanese friends and all folks on the island.

Dateline August 1, 2009: TAIWAN SETH EDUCATION FOUNDATION

One thing of great interest that has recently been posted to our site is the news that there is a surprising amount of Seth activity in Taiwan. Dr. Tieng-sheng Hsu, a medical doctor, psychiatrist and author, has been reading Seth for over 15 years and in 2008 started the Seth Education Foundation. (He is also a past president of the Chinese New Age Society.) We've shared several emails with the Seth Family, as they call themselves, and have learned they are involved in a number of projects, some that take place at Seth Village. ** It's an amazing story and one well chronicled on SNI. You can read Dr. Hsu's bio in Seth-Based Articles, as well as an article written by him about the work he's done with cancer using Sethian ideas; and you can see many of their photos in the Gallery. Don't miss this unfolding story!
