Summary: Seth concepts made more understandable
Review: An entertaining book that helps bring the concepts of the Seth books to an understandable level. Especially useful is the presentation of reincarnation within the concept of no such thing as time - past present and future are really all one - NOW. It tells the story of Oversoal Seven, an advanced entity as he learns his lessons on his way to becoming Oversoul Eight. As an oversoul, he has three personailties, (or people, entities, or whatever) to watch over and help out as they learn THEIR lessons of life and truth. Oversoal Seven has his own teacher, Cyprus, who keeps him on track when he wanders, or gets confused. All in all, an entertaining book, that still has the philosophy of Seth without being as dry.

Summary: Really good, better than I ever expected
Review: As a big Seth fan I must admit I haven't paid much attention to the "Jane" books. But one thing makes sense, that one person who should really know what Seth is saying in his works is Jane. In this trilogy I found that I could hardly put the book down during the first book "The Education of Oversoul 7". This story introduces us to Seven, his entity Cyprus and four of Seven's earthly personalities: Lydia, Josef, Proteus and Ma-ah. The story is fascinating and meant to illustrate the interaction between reincarnational selves with each other and their entity or soul. The second book "The Further Education of Oversoul Seven" didn't hold my attention like the first. Two characters returned from the first book: Josef and Lydia. The story is written from the point of view of a new character William. You meet more of Seven's personalities and see the interaction through time with some of the characters and past or future versions of themselves. The material on "The Gods" seemed to drag the story down to a slow crawl. The third book was almost as interesting as the first. In "The Museum of Time" again Seven is interacting with his personalities except in this story he must assume a human body for a period of time. The writing is very good and the characters are interesting. Jane does an excellent job of illustrating some of Seth's concepts in her novels adding illumination in a way that is only possible through fiction.

Summary: THE standard by which all visionary fiction should be judged
Review: For those who have read some or all of the Seth books, this is an enthralling explanation, in a fictional context, of the sometimes mind-boggling concepts Jane Roberts/Seth expounded upon. If you have not read any of the Seth Material but are curious, you will realize that what you are reading is nothing less than a literary "theory of everything"-the true nature of time, life, reality and even God.Oversoul Seven is presented as a cosmic "everyman", a literal student of Godhood, being tutored by his patient (and seemingly omnipotent) instructor Cyprus to oversee the incarnations of his human charges-to guide but never interfere with the choices they make. And what a cast of characters! It is not possible to in this short space to reveal all of them, but they are so brilliantly realized they you willnot be able to resist identifying with one or more of them;- there is something for everyone in this uplifting, intellectually challenging and visionary masterwork.

Summary: CONNECTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Review: I have studied alot of books on metaphysics, non-local realities and reincarnation, but so much information just doesn't seem to fit together. This book is a story, a very entertaining story, and in the process of enjoying the reading, you notice that a kind of sense comes out of it. It makes order out of the reletivity of time, the life death process, past life memories, guidance, de ja vous and many other things. I felt at the end that I "Got It!" finially. This book gave me a contectual hallway to lead my consciousness through when pondering things metaphysical. I would recommend it highly to the advanced student as well as the beginner. Thanks. :-)

Summary: Kate returned to her future of the past to see Leopold
Review: If you really want to understand what "Time" means, you have to read Seth Books & Jane's this one, instead of reading Einstein's or Stephen Hawking's or any of other so-called scientists', to whom I used to belong. In this book you will see in a fictional format the meaning of "Time," which Seth is telling us. Alas, the so-called self-claimed scientists have never officially taken Seth's messages seriously so far. But many writers seem to have gotten Seth & Jane's idea on "Time." In the movie "Kate & Leopold," Kate went "back to her future" to see Leopold in her past. You will understand what this means, only if you read Seth's & Jane's this book. Mind you that the original novel writer seemed to have ingored to make his story commercial what Seth is telling (only to the extent of my understanding): "Even if you managed to go back to your past, people in the past cannot see you." I am sure you can enjoy romantic (not life-killing) SF videos more realistically after reading this book.

Summary: An all-time favorite
Review: The first book of this trilogy (they were originally published as three separate books), "The Education of Oversoul 7" is one of my most favorite books of all time! And if you like the first one then the 2nd and 3rd books are definitely worth reading too.

Summary: The most magical book I ever read...
Review: This book is a universe of knowledge, magically warped into a form of a novel. It manages to be a page turner and a wonderful challenge for the soul mind at the same time. I have read Jane's Seth books,and I definitely feel that with this one I have come home. Jane gently guides the reader through the ocean of gods and demons, fears, and hopes, and I can't help but laugh with her at my narrow perception, and expand it more and more with each chapter. Read, enjoy, keep it under your pillow!

Summary: Basically a Must for people who know other Seth Books
Review: This book puts the Seth material alive. It deals in a very lively way with Seth's way of reincarnation, dreams and how you put challenges in front of yourself to expand your view. It's probably only half as valuable if you never read any of the Seth/J.Roberts books, but if you know "Seth Speaks" and maybe "Nature of Personal Reality" the trilogy will add color to many of the concepts found there.
