Given the abstract nature of the Etheric and Astral realms, Friedlander has made the numinous remarkably easy to understand. His approach to intuition and channeling is both fluid and confident, rooted in years of teaching. He manages to create a resilient ecosystem of practices that will withstand the test of time, rather than a rigid set of rules liable to quickly fall out of fashion.

The Big Picture

Richard Grossinger

T his is a book of John Friedlanders teachings. It was assembled from transcriptions of selected classes that took place between 2010 and 2019. In compiling this material, I have tried to distill the heart, meaning, and function of what John was sayingand channelingto capture both its sense and spirit.

John says that Jane Robertss channeling of Seth set up humankinds explorations for the next twenty-five hundred years. That may be hyperbole; I think that John meant it not literally or as prophecy as much as a statement of the radicalness and complexity of the transmission and its context. It will take twenty-five hundred years to get to the bottom of what it is saying and its implications. Even after twenty-five hundred years, it will still be saying new things and changing its energy apropos the universe.

Seth said that only Jane Roberts would channel him in her lifetime. I take that to mean that the entitythe Multipersonhood adopting the name Sethwould only appear as Seth through Jane. Seth was not the energys name to itself or to others, so by definition Seth could only speak through Ms. Roberts. But Seth exists and transmits in other forms, by other names, and through other teachers, beyond time and space, and likely elsewhere in the multiverse.

John was also not channeling a single personable entity as much as a transpersonal spectrum of extradimensional intelligence with personlike foci. The beings used names just as other beings coming through other channels have used names like Seth, Abraham and Michael. In classes, John naturally incorporated his own lessons, insights, and interpretations into those he was receiving. At most junctures it was as impossible as it was unnecessary to know who was speaking. The reader of this book wont either. That is not a problem, and Seth or recentering him is not a problem. You can read this material as Sethian, post-Sethian, para-Sethian, or non-Sethian, and it will still be Sethian, by dint of Johns engagement with the Sethian locution.

John has recentered Robertss system by continuing to channel the greater Multipersonhood while fusing it with (1) traditional theosophy from Helena Blavatsky, Alice Baily, Annie Besant, Charles Webster Leadbeater, et al., (2) the human-development course of Lewis Bostwick at the Berkeley Psychic Institute of the 1970s, and (3) Dzogchen Buddhist teachingsany of which may have been partially downloaded from the same intelligence field. John is also informed by his years of study at Harvard Law School and subsequent legal practicehuman jurisprudence is a Physical-plane adaption of cosmic law. He may not have extended the warranty of Janes system beyond two and a half millennia, but he has begun the twenty-five-hundred-year deciphering project and added his own tensors of complexity.

That doesnt necessarily make the system more complexit was already as complex as it could possibly be, nests of probability states arising and expanding in all directions. What he did was limn the actual complexity of the system.

The transmission we are identifying as Sethian addresses humanitys existential crisis at its core, including personal identity, world, climate, and civilization. John is neither fatalist nor apocalyptic regarding the plight of humanity and this planetquite the opposite, he believes the universe can never be made less than it is, here and elsewhere. Johns classes offer unique perspectives for personal healing, transformation, service, and redemption of what is closest to the brink. Maybe we cant fail in the long run, not if the universe is biased on our behalf, as Johns guides say; but there are also many probable universes, and it would be nice to steward this one more effectively, and to understand more precisely where we are in the whole of thingsthe big pictureboth morally and cosmologically.
