Life Changing Books by
Wallace D. Wattles,
Seth and Jane Roberts
Find both financial and personal wealth, happiness and health!
Copyright 2007 Martin LeaventonWallace D. Wattles wrote several books about a hundred years ago that have tremendous power and relevance for modern readers.
Wattles' "The Science of Being Well" blew my mind! Simple ideas like when to eat, so obvious, yet so powerful--in over 40 years of reading books on health, I've never heard anyone even mention this.
Take a look right now, it's worth your time:
"The Science of Being Well."
His "The Science of Getting Rich" is the companion book to The Science of Being Well. It reveals a practical way to create financial wealth that anyone can do. This is not a money making scheme or a business, it's a pragmatic philosophy of how to attract wealth into your life, how to actually CREATE wealth. (And wealth of all types, not just financial!)
Take a look right now, this is real life changing stuff:
"The Science of Getting Rich"

Seth and Jane Roberts
About 40 years ago I first read "The Seth Material" by Jane Roberts, and found it fascinating, but I totally neglected it because of the source of the information.
You see, Seth is a non-physical being who spoke through Jane Roberts. This was back before channeling was a common topic.
About 15 years ago, I picked up some of Jane Robert's books and read them for the second time, and suddenly realized that the ideas given by Seth were in accord with all of the other esoteric religious philosphies that I had studied over the years. It didn't matter where the information came from, whether Seth, Jane Roberts, or her unconscious mind -- the ideas explained many of life's mysteries so well!
There's an esoteric saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher will come." The first time I read the book, I wasn't ready. The second time many years later, it spoke directly to me, resonating with my real life experiences over many years.
If you have a craving to know more about the meaning of life, if you wonder about life after death, if you feel there is more to life than just the daily grind, then I highly recommend you get some of these books right now.
Here are some excerpts:
----------
"Your set of problems are of the most creative kind. They are challenges from which great potentials can emerge. Your full energy for work and your creative drives are released, and will be, as you creatively use and understand your problems. But do not concentrate upon them, nor let them close your eyes to the joys and freedoms that you have.
YOU GET WHAT YOU CONCENTRATE UPON.
THERE IS NO OTHER MAIN RULE."
from "The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events A Seth Book." by Jane Roberts

Quotes from "The Nature Of Personal Reality: A SETH BOOK" By Jane Roberts (2nd Seth book)
From Chapter 2:
You are in physical existence to learn and understand that your energy, translated into feelings, thoughts and emotions, causes ALL experience. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.
Once you understand this you have only to learn to examine the nature of your beliefs, for these will automatically cause you to feel and think in certain fashions. Your emotions follow your beliefs. It is not the other way around.
I would like you to recognize your own beliefs in several areas. You must realize that any idea you accept as TRUTH is a belief that YOU hold. You must, then, take the next step and say, "It is not necessarily true, even though I believe it." You will, I hope, learn to disregard all beliefs that imply BASIC limitations.
Now: Later we will discuss some of the reasons for your beliefs, but for now I simply want you to recognize them.
I am going to list some limiting false beliefs. If you find yourself AGREEING with any of them, then recognize this is an area in which you must personally work.
1. Life is a valley of sorrows.
2. The body is inferior. As a vehicle of the soul it is automatically degraded, tinged.
You may feel that the flesh is inherently bad or evil, that its appetites are wrong. Christians may find the body deplorable, thinking that the soul descended into it--"descent" automatically meaning the change from a higher or better condition to one that is worse.
Followers of Eastern religions often feel it their duty, also, to deny the flesh, to rise above it, so to speak, into a state where nothing is desired. ("Emptiness" in Taoism, for instance.) Using a different vocabulary, they still believe that earth experience is not desirable in itself.
3. I am helpless before circumstances that I cannot control.
4. I am helpless because my personality and character were formed in infancy, and I am at the mercy of my past.
5. I am helpless because I am at the mercy of events from past lives in other incarnations, over which I now have no control. I must be punished, or I am punishing myself for unkindnesses done to others in past lives. I must accept the negative aspects of my life because of my karma.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, karma is thought of as the total moral sum of an individual's acts in any one life--thus determining the person's fate or destiny in the next. Seth sees reincarnational lives as all existing at once, so there is constant give-and-take among them. A "future" life, then, can affect a "past" one, so karma as it is usually considered does not apply.
6. People are basically bad, and out to get me.
7. I have the truth and no one else has. Or, my group has the truth and no other group has.
8. I will grow frailer, sicker, and lose my powers as I grow old.
9. My existence is dependent upon my experience in flesh. When my body dies my consciousness dies with it.
Now: That was a rather general list of false beliefs. Now here is a more specific list of more intimate beliefs, any of which you may have personally about yourself.
1. I am sickly, and always have been.
2. There is something wrong with money. People who have it are greedy, less spiritual than those who are poor. They are unhappier, and snobs.
3. I am not creative. I have no imagination.
Next: I can never do what I want to do.
Next: People dislike me.
Next: I am fat.
("That would be number 6.")
Then 7. I always have bad luck.
These are all beliefs held by many people. Those who have them will meet them in experience. Physical data will always seem to reinforce the beliefs, therefore, but the beliefs formed the reality. We are going to attempt to knock down such limiting concepts.
First of all, you must realize that no one can change your beliefs for you, nor can they be forced upon you from without. You CAN indeed change them for yourself, however, with knowledge and application.
Look about you. Your entire physical environment is the materialization of your beliefs. Your sense of joy, sorrow, health or illness--all of these are also caused by your beliefs. If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.
Within you is the ability to change your ideas about reality and about yourself, to create a personal living experience that is fulfilling to yourself and others. I would like you to write down your beliefs about yourself as you become aware of them. Later you can use this list in a way that you do not now suspect.
Chapter 3:
You get what you concentrate upon. There is no other main rule.
It may be easy for you to see beliefs that are invisible to others in themselves. Reading this book, you may be able to point at friends or acquaintances and see clearly that THEIR ideas are invisible beliefs which limit their experience--and yet be blind to your own invisible beliefs, which you take so readily as truth or characteristics of reality.
Chapter 4:
Few beliefs are intellectual alone. When you are examining the contents of your conscious mind, you must learn, or recognize, the emotional and imaginative connotations that are connected with a given idea. There are various ways of altering the belief by substituting its opposite. One particular method is three-pronged. You generate the emotion OPPOSITE the one that arises from the belief you want to change, and you turn your imagination in the opposite direction from the one dictated by the belief. At the same time you consciously assure yourself that the unsatisfactory belief IS an idea ABOUT reality and not an aspect of reality itself.
You realize that ideas are not stationary. Emotions and imagination move them in one direction or the other, reinforce them or negate them.
Quite deliberately you use your conscious mind playfully, creating a game as children do, in which for a time you completely ignore what SEEMS to be in physical terms and "pretend" that what you really want is real.
If you are poor, you purposely pretend that you have all you need financially. Imagine how you will spend your money. If you are ill, imagine playfully that you are cured. See yourself doing what you would do. If you cannot communicate with others, imagine yourself doing so easily. If you feel your days dark and pointless, then imagine them filled and joyful.
Now this may sound impractical, yet in your daily life you use your imagination and your emotions often at the service of far less worthy beliefs; and the results are quite clear--and let me add, unfortunately practical.
As it took a while for the unsatisfactory beliefs to become materialized, so it MAY be a time before you see physical results; but the new ideas will take growth and change your experience as certainly as the old ones did. The process of imagining will also bring you face to face with other subsidiary ideas that may momentarily bring you up short. You may see where you held two quite conflicting ideas simultaneously, and with equal vigor. In such a case, you stalemated yourself.
You may believe that you have a right to health, and yet with equal intensity believe that the human condition is by nature tainted. So you will try to be healthy and not healthy at the same time, or successful and not successful, according to your individual system of beliefs--for later in the book you will see how your beliefs will generally fall into a system of related ideas.
[NOTE: this book ("The Nature Of Personal Reality: A SETH BOOK") is the 2nd of many Seth books. It is written in a somewhat easier to read style that the first Seth book, "Seth Speaks The Eternal Validity of the Soul." However, the first book sets the background knowledge system for all that follows, so in that sense it is probably better to start with the "Seth Speaks... ," even though it is very difficult to read and understand at points. The difficulty lies not in the wording or sentence structure, but more in the fact that the ideas presented may not easily or quickly integrate with standard ideas established in our minds by our society and it's educational process. It took me over 25 years from the first reading of "Seth Speaks" before I was ready to read it again and actually start to understand it, based upon my life experiences. The rewards from these books of life philosophy are well worth the effort!]

Seth on joy and health:
Some people -- [interruption] -- are always aware of their own joy regardless of circumstances. They feel safe and protected even when the events of their lives do not seem favorable. Regardless of their own doubts and worries, such people feel themselves supported, and feel that in the end everything will work to their advantage. Many other people, however, lose this sense of safety -- [interruption] --and abundance, and it may seem as if joy in living was an attribute only of the young.
Exuberance and joy, however, basically have nothing to do with time or age. They may be expressed as vividly and beautifully at the age of 80 as at the age of 8. For whole segments of the population, however, it seems as if joy and health are fleeting attributes expressed briefly in childhood, and then lost forever.
There are innumberable ways of reclaiming joy in living, however, and in so doing (long pause) physical health may be reclaimed by those who have found it lacking in their experience.
(Long pause) The quality of life is intensely important, and it is to a large extent dependent upon a sense of well-being and self-confidence. While these attributes are expressed in the body, they also exist in the mind, and there are some cumbersome mental beliefs that may severely impede mental and physical well-being.
We will not concentrate upon these, but we will indeed discuss them, so that each person can understand the relationship between poor beliefs and poor health, for through understanding these connections the individual can re-experience the great MENTAL variety that is possible. No individual is helpless, for example, in the face of negative beliefs. He or she can learn to make choices once again, and thus to CHOOSE positive concepts, so that they become as natural as negative beliefs once did.
One of the greatest detriments to mental and physical well-being is the unfortunate belief that any unfavorable situation is bound to get worse instead of better. (Pause.) That concept holds that any illness will worsen, any war will lead to destruction, that any and all known dangers will be encountered, and basically that the end result of mankind's existence is extinction. All of those beliefs impede mental and physical health, erode the individual's sense of joy and natural safety, and force the individual to feel like an unfortunate victim of exterior events that seem to happen despite his own will or intent.
--"The Way Toward Health," Jane Roberts/Seth

Waking up to perception, Seth's basic "mission"
Since my own environment does not have easily defined physical elements, you will be able to understand its nature by inference, as I explain some related topics throughout this book.
Your own physical environment appears as it does to you because of your own psychological structure. If you gained your sense of personal continuity through associative processes primarily, rather than as a result of the familiarity of self moving through time, then you would experience physical reality in an entirely different fashion. Objects from past and present could be perceived at once, their presence justified through associative connections. Say that your father throughout his lifetime has eight favorite chairs. If your perceptive mechanisms were primarily set up as a result of intuitive associations rather than time sequence, then you would persceive all of these chairs at one time, or seeing one, you would be aware of the others. So environment is not a separate thing in itself, but the result of perceptive patterns, and these are determined by psychological structure.
So if you want to know what my environment is like, you will have to understand what I am. In order to explain, I shall have to speak about the nature of consciousness in general. In doing so I shall end up telling you much about yourself. The inner portions of your identity are already aware of much that I will tell you. Part of my purpose is to acquaint your egotistical self with knowledge that is already known to a larger portion of your own consciousness, that you have long ignored.
You look out into the physical universe, and interpret reality according to the information received from your "outer senses." I will stand, figuratively speaking, in physical reality and look inward for you, and describe those realities of consciousness and experience that you are presently too fascinated to see. For you are fascinated with physical reality, and you are in as deep a trance now as the woman is through whom I write this book.
All of your attention is focused in a highly specialized way upon one shining, bright point that you call reality. There are other realities all about you, but you ignore their existence, and you blot out all stimuli that come from them. There is a reason for such a trance, as you will discover, but little by little you must wake up. My purpose is to open your inner eyes.
