A View from the Other Side

This is a wonderful book. It has a purity and simplicity that is deceiving. It is not intellectual. Nor is it scientific. It is a distillation of ancient and universal wisdom written gently so it touches your own inner wisdom, so you can say "yes that is true," or "I forgot that and am glad to be reminded." It is a book to be placed by your bedside and referred to often.

I find this small book an excellent cut to the metaphysical chase. Very handy for brushing away the concept cobwebs we get just from living in the physical world! I have been reading Jane/Seth for 30 years. I see nothing here that seems out of place. Who can say how Jane Roberts would be? I would not like to think she'd be the same as even her last earthly day in '84. We all keep growing

This book is in a class with the very best of the metaphysical writings of recent times. This slim volume is packed densely with succinct language. It is dense with information and ideas. Nearly every sentence stands on its own as something worth reading and considering. Those who are growing and inquiring will want to hear what the author says. I read the book this weekend: I finished and turned back to the first page and started again.When I logged on to post this opinion, so much did I like this book, I was surprised to read the poor reviews of others. I personally would not presume to say what Jane's "personality" is like now that she's a spirit. I can only say, having read all the Seth books and many others, I found this perspective, this view, this particular distillation of information well worth reading.

A View from the Other Side is a well written look into the world of channeling. For those who know little about it, this book serves as a clear introduction. It avoids much of the confusing language of some other books in this genre. By the end I felt I knew Jane Roberts, as well as the author, whose candid style put me right at ease.

I was fully prepared to let myself be surprised by this book - and I was. Although I found it stimulating and beautifully inspired in places I cannot say that I heard Jane Roberts' voice clear enough through it; rather what I heard was a mirror image of her worldview speaking through the author's absorption of Seth's teachings. Lacking was a sense of depth and multi-dimensionality expressed by Jane's writings as here the words sometimes verge on the very banal.Nevertheless it is a very inspiring book of simplicity and grace and I have recommended it to many as a starting point in self-exploration.
