F OREWORD

SETH NETWORK
INTERNATIONAL
Lynda Dahl, President

In a very real sense the book you are about to read, penned in the mid-sixties by Jane Roberts, was the harbinger of world change. If you are new to Jane Roberts you may read How to Develop Your ESP Power and wonder at that statement.

Perhaps you will enjoy the book, like many thousands of readers before you, for its rich insights and practical suggestions; and you may find yourself fascinated with the metaphysical concepts presented in it, but the link between world change and this book might escape you.

Thats understandable, since ESP Power was the starting point for that change, and starting points represent the first fold of an unfolding event, simply the beginning of what is to come. And what was to come from Janes decision to write a book on extrasensory perception was the Seth material, the body of work that arguably launched the New Age.

In How to Develop Your ESP Power Jane will tell you in her own words about Seth, how she came to channel him in late 1963 as a result of researching psychic phenomenon for this book, how he called himself an energy essence personality and a discarnate entity, and the impact he had on the lives of her and her husband Robert F. Butts. And you will read the first published words of Seth. However,
