From the Bestselling Author of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality

In September 1984, the voice that had spoken for one of the most profound and prolific metaphysical teachers of the 20th century fell silent. Seth, the entity who described himself as an “energy personality essence no longer focused in physical matter,” had spoken exclusively through Jane Roberts since 1963. During the long illness that led to her death, Jane continued to channel Seth from her hospital bed, but this final work was left unfinished.

Now, in The Way Toward Health, Jane’s husband, Robert Butts, shares with us the intimate story of Jane’s final days, and the exquisite teachings that Seth gave during that time. In an examination of the miracle of life in a human body, Seth speaks about:
  • Why medicine and therapy often perpetuate illness
  • How the practice of naming diseases can work against us
  • The influence of religion in creating disease
  • How children’s health is influenced by parents’ beliefs
  • Humor as an effective factor in healing
“Do not think of the mind as a purely mental entity, and of the body as a purely physical one. Instead, think of both mind and body as continuing, interweaving processes that are mental and physical at once. Your thoughts actually are quite as physical as your body is, and your body is quite as nonphysical as it seems to you your thoughts are. You are actually a vital force, existing as a part of your environment, and yet apart from your environment at the same time.” — Jane Roberts, speaking for Seth in The Way Toward Health

“I would like to see the Seth books as required reading for anyone on their spiritual pathway. The amazing in-depth information in the Seth books is as relevant today as it was in the early ’70s when Jane Roberts first channeled this material.” — Louise Hay, author of You Can Heal Your Life

“Seth’s teachings had an important influence on my life and work, and provided one of the initial inspirations for writing Creative Visualization.” — Shakti Gawain, author of Creative Visualization

About the Author

Jane Roberts (May 8, 1929 – September 5, 1984) grew up in Saratoga Springs, New York where she attended Skidmore College. She was a prolific writer in a variety of genres including poetry, short stories, children’s literature and fiction when in 1963, she began to receive messages from a non-physical energy personality who called himself “Seth.” Her husband, Robert F. Butts, an artist and writer, recorded the messages and together they dedicated their lives to the publication of Seth’s teachings. The “Seth Books” have become classics in the fields of psychology and personal growth, and stand out as one of the major forces that led to the New Age philosophical movement in the 1970s. Today, Yale University Library maintains a collection of Jane’s writings, journals, poetry, audio and video recordings, correspondence, and other materials (the “Jane Roberts Papers”) donated by her husband and other individuals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Astonishing
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2010

This is one of the best books I've ever read. Absolutely riveting for Seth fans.

'The Way Toward Health' is intensely intimate, honest and heartbreaking. I never knew how Jane's body deteriorated since Seth dictated his first book, 'Seth Speaks,' or how Rob feared that the Seth sessions were compromising Jane's health (only to learn that they were, in fact, helping her). I didn't know about Jane's childhood traumas, which she couldn't, or wouldn't, release. It becomes clear that her choices all along the way to be ruled by those fears led her to be literally bound by them, rigid and immobilized, as they starved the life out of her.

Seth says, "Some people ... definitely want to live, while they try to HIDE from life at the same time."

It becomes evident in the reading that this statement was true of Jane Roberts.

Yet together, day after day, Jane and Rob reach forward with hope, celebrate every little improvement, learn each other's secrets after 30 years of marriage, and cry over what might never be again. Seth provides his ever-present loving advice and friendship. Jane continues to create sparkling, spirit-soaring poetry as well as deliver the book sessions. And Rob reveals himself at last. Now I have an idea of how he opened up himself and his entire life to embrace his love for his wife and their uncommon adventure.

I am already taking Seth's excellent advice and quickly noticing the benefits. It's all about choices!

My heart is full of appreciation and gratitude to Jane, Seth and Rob for devoting more than 20 years to producing the Seth material. This wisdom will continually inspire new generations, and maybe one day, we will make the choice to LIVE it.

(A hint: As Rob says to Jane, "Keep that word 'trust' in mind.")

5.0 out of 5 stars Jane's last year in hospital with comments from Seth
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 1998
Verified Purchase
This book describes Jane's last year in hospital. It's termed a Seth-Book, which is technically correct, but it's as well a book from Robert (Jane's husband). Seth readers are familiar with the Italics, and the main body of this book is actually Italics. The Seth material in it is very good indeed, but most of it can be found scattered across his other work as well. However, in no other book did Robert/Jane allow the reader to come as close to their lives as in this one. I normally just skim the Italics, but here they just sucked me in. Seth occasionally uses the word "drama" in his other books -- this book simply is DRAMA PUT ALIVE. The actual book dictation is about 1/3 or 1/4 of the book, then there's about 1/4 Seth comments to Robert/Jane's current situation and the rest is Italics. The mixture makes this book very powerful and very moving. This book actually makes me think about going to Yale University to study more of the private sessions.
Not recommended if you don't at least know two or three other Jane Roberts/Seth books.
Also, I'm not sure if I would recommend it if you are currently dealing with (own) health problems.
However, an EXCELLENT source of material if you are dealing with healing other people (being a nurse, a doctor or just a healer by intent).

4.0 out of 5 stars One's attitude, including much of which we're unaware, shapes our health.
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
This book is interesting from a variety of perspectives. One of those is that of Robert butts, Jane's husband and, for all the Seth books, the taker of notes, typist, etc. It was an unpleasant "trip" for him as he watched Jane gradually approach death in the hospital where she'd been confined for 635 days (+/-). Another was Jane's view of her situation, not always expressed but felt and her battle to free herself from her early conditioning and horrific upbringing at the hands of her mother. She was unable to do that, which Seth most certainly understood but nevertheless supported her in the manner he could. Seth provides the reader with numerous jewel-like nuggets of health wisdom as well as an approach to adopt. None of this is easy, I'll add, as in the realm of psychological change and the reach for spiritual development, " payment is a principal", according to the greatest avatar of the 20th cent.: G. I. Gurdjieff. Near the end, she acquiesced to her body's "fate", but managed to give us another book of Seth's insightful commentary, all while lying, practically immobile on a hospital bed, wracked with pain. It must have been an extraordinary, though not pleasant experience for them both. Robert shares with us many of his inner thoughts, not always complimentary to himself but natural and noticed. A great many people, Americans, especially, can derive benefit from this book, provided they read it with some care and attentively.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing, valuable and emotional read
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2013

I've read quite a bet of Roberts/Seth books and am only half way through this one but felt a need to comment. This book was written by Rob, from notes he took during Jane's final hospital stay. Incredibly useful information for anyone wanting to know the "secret" to good health and insight into why Jane died. After reading Anita Moorjani's Dying to be Me explaining how it's all about truly loving and being ourselves, this book fills in all the blanks and details of how our beliefs effect our well being. SO much of this makes sense. I've also been associating a lot of the information with Bruce Lipton's books, who also explainss all if this but from the angle of a biologist. I've had to hold back tears while reading this book, not only because of the suffering Jane went through, but her husband Rob's as well, and his flat-out dedication to her. A truly amazing, devoted couple. I wish so badly that I'd had the opportunity to meet them both, if I'd known about them during their time I would have gone out of my way to make it happen.

So far this book has been helping me a lot to feel better about myself. It's got some very interesting points in it.
Some bits are a long read though with comments about what was going on when the book was written.

I'm only half way through though so canät give a complete review. It's not a light reading so takes time to read and process.

Es ist wirklich berührend. Es stimmt, dass die Kommentare anstrengend sind, aber es zeigt auch, dass die beiden angesichts der Zugkraft der Manifestation, Schwierigkeiten hatten, die Realität umzukehren. Dass sie, vor allem er zu nah dran waren, um wirklich eine neue Vision für die Gesundheitsmöglichkeit für Jane in sich zu finden. Sie haben sich einfangen lassen von dem, was-ist, was uns allen oft genug passiert.

SETH nous procure un enseignement hors de nos cadres habituels et il cible l'individu dans ce qu'il a d'universel. Avec ce livre sur tout ce qui sort notre corps hors de son chemin naturel qui est la santé il m'a rendu un immense service car j'ai grâce à lui trouvé pourquoi j'avais bloqué mon énergie et rendu mon corps si douloureux. J'ai trouvé grâce à SETH, Jane qui parlait pour lui et Rob' qui prenait des notes, la paix de l'esprit et la paix du corps. C'est une porte qui s'ouvre sur un monde nouveau et plein d'espoir.
