INTRODUCTION BY JANE ROBERTS
珍•蘿勃茲的導讀
I'm proud to published this book under my own name, though I don't fully understand the mechanics of its production or the nature of the personality I assume in delivering it. I had no conscious work to do on the book at all. I simply went into trance twice a week, spoke in a "mediumistic" capacity for Seth, or as Seth, and dictiated the words to my husband, Robert Butts, who wrote them down.
我很榮幸這本書能以我的名義付梓,雖然我不全然了解出版的機制或者是以為是在述說人格的本質。在書上我一點都沒有意識這麼做,我僅僅是一個禮拜出神兩次,以「中介」能力替賽斯發言、或者扮演賽斯,把這些話述說給我的老公–羅勃•巴茲,由他記下來。
I consider the book "mine" in that I don't believe it could have been written without me and my particular abilities. On other hand, I realize that far more is involved. I had to read the manuscript to find out what was in it, for example; and to that extent the book doesn't seem mine. But what does that mean?
