I had heard so many good things about this book so figured it was time to check it out. There was so many great reviews on Amazon and the snippets I'd read online were excellent but I have to say,I'm a bit disappointed. I'm about 3/4 of the way through. For one,I find the book to be way overly written. I feel the information could be condensed way better and make a shorter book. I also find myself questioning some of the info in a how does he know way. I thought I'd find amazing info on some of the more out there concepts that intrigue and there was a little bit of that but not as much as I thought and some of the concepts just don't resonate with me and seem subjective not as an absolute truth. I don't know. I was expecting a very high vibration book that was very deep down the rabbit hole that would blow my mind but instead I feel like this is an overly written philosophy book where I'm finding myself from time to time questioning the why/how do you know aspects of it. Other books of this nature usually resonate with me right away and I quickly find things I start applying that help shift my life and I don't find myself skeptical. I'm not a skeptical type. Maybe I started with the wrong Seth book. It's called Seth Speaks,the eternal validity of the soul. Either way,since this book hasn't pleased me as much as I thought it would I'm leaning towards going with a Neville Goddard book next. Has anyone else read the Seth book? What did you get out of it and what did you think of it?
On another note,while I'm on the topic I think one thing that was making me conflicted is this:The law of attraction is my number one belief system. I've had it proven to me too many times to doubt it and with this book there seemed to be some things that were objective and some subjective and I just feel if the law of attraction exists,shouldn't EVERYTHING be subjective? Otherwise,who else is making these rules? It just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something in the book. Or,maybe I have my own inner conflicts still since I believe in subjective reality but occasionally on some level wonder but what if reality IS objective? Objective reality would then make more limits to things but it also makes things feel more real,hence why I believe people feel drawn to believe in it. Steve Pavlina talked about this before,and one of the younger guys who he has mentored expanded on this in another way that struck a chord in me that made sense,it just felt right which is this:A subjective reality template allows the law of attraction to flow without limits which I feel makes most sense. If loa is real,there should be no exceptions,it's always operating whether you believe in it or not. And,the multiverse theory which is that we are all sort of living in our own private universe. This then allows the loa to flow with no limits,there is no one making the rules,it is us however it's not solipism as other people are real,but living in their own private universe as well. It sounds crazy but this makes much more sense then things like law of attraction is real but there is this exception and that exception. And,to further it,if loa is real then if one believes in subjective reality,then via their beliefs their reality HAS to be a subjective reality,there can be no exceptions. I definitely do not believe in solipism per se,though I can see it how it'd seem like it. It doesn't resonate with me that there's a higher power choosing things for us sometimes. I believe it is all us,in our own seperate dreams creating. I do believe in a God,but not like most people do. I believe the universe in inherently friendly.
