Rating: Summary: A "How To" book on being the magician of your own life Review: As Jane states in an opening poem "What magicians we all are, turning darkness into light, transforming invisible atoms into the dazzling theater of the world...." A book of wonder, short but sweet and to the point. A critical work on creativity and how our industrial world attempts to enslave in the clock of 9 to 5. This book will help all overcome the dissonance between our overly rational work-a-day and dreaming selves. By opening to The Magical Approach you can grab the wheel of life and head out to the open road of creative living.
Rating: Summary: Very Disappointing Review: I am totally into the Seth books, but this one I sent back, I just could not even relate or get into it, not the seth quality I'm use to reading.
Rating: Summary: This book is very powerful due to its simplicity Review: I have read all of the previous Seth books and found a sharp contrast with this one. Previous books talk alot about the mechanics involved in idea construction, which is very interesting but aren't things we need to think about on a daily basis. This book really brings out the most important aspects of the Seth Material. The idea that we don't have to worry about all these underlying mechanisms and cause and effect. It is simply being open to the magic in the world and having the attitude to expect the best. It really takes all the previous books and says, "Here is how everything I've told you actually applies to daily life!" Great book! It's funny... I read this book about once a month and everytime I read it I ALWAYS find that particular passages jump out at me differently than the time before.
Rating: Summary: Possibly the "Bottom Line" of the Seth info. Review: In these days of trusting outside sources more than we accept and trust ourselves, "The Magical Approach" helps strike the balance between what we conceptualize and what we KNOW. Seth jogs the memory and has helped me make the leap from religion to Me...pretty cool stuff if I do say so mySelf...thanks Jane and Rob...as a fellow pioneer of a new, and fun, if I have anything to do with it, reality, I salute you!
Rating: Summary: Somewhat Skimpy but a Must for Seth Fans Review: Let's face it. Any book by Jane Roberts that was published posthumously is bound to disappoint. This one is a little skimpy compared to other Seth Books. Not quite as good, say, as "The God of Jane" or "The Nature of Personal Reality." But nevertheless any Seth book is a welcome addition to my personal library. But it's definitely a book for die-hard fans. Beginners might enjoy "Psychic Politics" more, or one of the other earlier works.

Rating: Summary: How to apply all that theory --- and complete "mass events" Review: Seth's other books are careful descriptions of reality -- from his point of view and in our terms. Rather abstract but excellent for understanding. There are a few concrete suggestions for putting this into practice in your life.In Magical Approach, however, we see Seth coaching the author in how to use this material to face the specific health problems she's facing. Through her attempts, her failures, successes, and Seth's coaching, we have a case study of how the general, abstract material he's given can actually be used in a real life example. It's true this material doesn't have the sweep and grandeur of his other books. The specific value of this book is for people who have specific problems they wish to address; or people who are generally interested in how to work with personal beliefs to change your personal experience of reality -- to improve your quality of life. Another benefit of this book is that it does fit into the gap in Mass Events during which it is written. For me, these two books fit together very nicely: theory and practice.
