Michael Prescott on the Seth material

It is more than 35 years since I read my first Seth book (also The Seth Material) and subsequently a few more and those books still qualify as the single biggest influence on my thinking on these subjects. That is despite my continuing misgivings about the nature of the Seth entity and whether or not "he" was a creation of Jane's subconscious through which to deliver the material. Other misgivings include some of the historical information - especially about the Christ personality. This troubled me for a long time but eventually I accepted that such information is inevitably filtered, to some extent, through the consciousness of the channel. 

So, in my view, the bulk of the material may well have been drawn from the larger collective consciousness and channeled through the Seth personality but whether that personality was a discarnate entity or a subconscious manifestation is still open in my thinking.

I'm surprised that it has taken Michael Prescott so long to get around to reading Seth because his own blogs have often reflected much of what is explained in the Seth books. Yet that is true for so many of the thinkers who write on these subjects - I often find myself convinced they must have read Seth. That was true when I came across Tom Campbell so I wrote to him and asked. Yes, was the reply, he had read Seth and had been influenced while, at the same time, putting his own "spin" on the material, moderated by his own experiences and scientific training.

I don't think the skeptics give proponents or people interested in this stuff any credit at all for the fact most of them aren't always sure it's actually a discarnate entity every single time or case. You'd think we were all morons chucking up everything to "well it must be a spirit" in blind faith from the way they potray things, but in the case of Prescott, he is pretty damn skeptical of plenty of cases. I guess the fact that he thinks there are ones that are best explained as being the work of a discarnate entity is why skeptics probably look over that fact, and attack instead.

As for this one, it's still definitely open in my mind. Mediumship is so fincky because super psi could definitely be a part in a number of the legit cases. Of all the survival phenomenon, mediumship is probably the most susceptible to super psi then the others. The opportunity for it to arise is there more often in my opinion, yet it's still not a blanket explanation for all the cases. 

Just FYI, I'm not a big fan of super psi, but like Titus Rivas and others have pointed out, it could definitely be an explanation for some cases. But definitely not all...
