In this perennial bestseller, Seth challenges our assumptions about the nature of reality. He explains how the conscious mind directs unconscious activity and has at its command all the powers of the inner self. Included are excellent exercises for applying these theories to any life situation.
It's like a bibleNovember 19, 2008 This is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. I do think it contains powerful information which may affect some of us to look at life from another perspective. I was enlightened by the words. I highly recommend this book.
The Nature of Personal RealityOctober 13, 2008 This book changed my life and my world view. Seth is very powerful. The first line of chapter one is: "The living picture of the world grows within the mind". I've read this book at least a dozen times. And year after year, it reads like a new book every time I pick it up. If you're wondering what life is all about - this book is for you - it will open your mind.
Point Of PowerSeptember 13, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This Seth chronicle focuses very heavily on beliefs. Quite simply we form our reality by our beliefs. He takes us thru many examples of how our beliefs form our reality. The Self is not limited. Only our beliefs can limit the Self. There are no boundaries or separations of the Self. There is only ONE.
Given the main thrust of this book, the following are some samples of what I considered truths:
- What exists physically exists first in thought and feeling. There is no other rule. - We are the architects of structuring our belief systems. Re-structuring our beliefs is like rearranging furniture. - Conflicting beliefs cancel out our power thus creating the "feeling" of powerlessness. - Inners sounds have a greater affect on the body than outer sounds. - All things have a consciousness such as the atom and all is self aware. - There is no division between the mental, spiritual and the physical. They are One. - Aggression is natural and is a force of nature. The act of birth is an act of natural aggression. Do not fear your power. Violence is a result of the "feeling" of powerlessness. -Reincarnation is a distortion. Each life is a "Point of Power" and they occur simultaneously NOT linearly. The human brain is not equipped to comprehend this fact. - Intellect and feeling together make up your existence. - The serpent symbolized the deepest knowledge within creaturehood. Eve symbolizes the intuitive nature; the ego is symbolized by Adam. The Tree of Knowledge bore its fruits of "good and bad". This was the first time choices were available, thus the birth of free will. - The story of the fall with Satan as the leader represents the part of All That Is, or God, who stepped outside of Himself and became earthbound with His creatures offering free will that "previously" had not been available. - We create our own illnesses. They are not thrust upon us. Our illnesses reflect our belief systems. Our bodies are the external representations of our minds. - There is a lag, a lapse in time, during which beliefs cause material actualization. I have experienced this truth myself. This is the first time I have seen it clearly explained. - Western medicine is one of the most uncivilized hypnotic devices. Doctors treat the effect and not the cause, which of course is in the mind. - You are not what you eat, but what you think. -Our venture thru this physical experience is the equivalent of a dream state. As we understand time, we will merge our inner comprehension with our physical self and form our world on a conscious basis. - Parents choose their children and children choose their parents. - Love does not demand sacrifice. - True religion is not repressive. - Jesus of Nazareth did indeed say "Love your neighbor as yourself" and at the time was ironic. At that time no man loved his neighbor but distrusted him. Much of his humor has been lost in the Christian dogma. - "The meek shall inherit the Earth"......meant since you form your reality, those who think thoughts of peace will find themselves safe from war. They will be untouched by it. They will escape it and literally inherit the Earth. Once again the translation has been lost. - God did not sacrifice his Son by allowing his Son to become physical. - The elderly are misunderstood. The elderly are looked at as feeble, weak and at the end of their good years. This is false. In fact their consciousness has accelerated. Many switches are activated that remove barriers that allow great journeys inward while still living in the physical world. Much could be learned spiritually from them. Instead they are sent to retirement institutions regarded with pity and forgotten.
This book drives home again and again that your beliefs determine your physical, mental and spiritual environment. Specifically THE PRESENT IS THE POINT OF POWER. Your power is now. The physical self is not all of the Self but it is a part of it. It is a point of being that can change the future AND the past.

I've read several of the Seth books. I much prefer them to the Abraham material. I love this book, over the years reading the Seth material I have also come to love Seth. Reading the seth books is one of the few experiences that I can say truly altered the course of my life. I am forever changed, and for the better, thank-you Seth and Jane.

Far from some oversimplification of how we create reality, Seth leads the reader, step by step, into the incredibly complex nature of the soul. I read and reread, probably only a few pages at a time, as the material is so spiritually stimulating yet thick with new information that it must be digested (at least for me) a little at a time. The authenticity of the material is indisputable making this (as well as all Seth books) an essential read for any sincere seeker.
