{"product_id":"nursery-of-the-gods-volume-james-cobban-9798374736748","title":"Nursery of the Gods Volume Two: Earth as a Training System","description":"Consciousness survives the death of the body - that much can\u003cbr\u003ebe asserted with near certainty, based on the evidence presented\u003cbr\u003ein Volume One of this book. But if consciousness is independent\u003cbr\u003eof matter, then what is the purpose of physical existence? Why\u003cbr\u003eshould consciousness ally itself with physical form in the first\u003cbr\u003eplace if it is basically independent of it? To what end are we\u003cbr\u003eborn as physical creatures? According to Seth - that nonphysical\u003cbr\u003e\"energy personality essence\" who dictated The Seth Material\u003cbr\u003ethrough the auspices of writer and mystic Jane Roberts - earth\u003cbr\u003eis a training system for emerging consciousness. Consciousness\u003cbr\u003eis not static, but grows, evolves, and develops, and the physical\u003cbr\u003esystem is one arena of existence in which consciousness can gain\u003cbr\u003eexperience in the formation of reality. The human species, \u003cbr\u003eaccording to Seth, set out millennia ago to develop a specialized\u003cbr\u003eform of consciousness - an ego-identity - that could perceive\u003cbr\u003ephysical reality in a radically new fashion, different from the\u003cbr\u003eanimals, from a psychological perspective seemingly separate\u003cbr\u003efrom the rest of the living world. Human consciousness would\u003cbr\u003ebecome the thinking portion of the earth, and could begin to\u003cbr\u003econstruct, for itself and the other creatures of the earth, a phys-\u003cbr\u003eical reality of the sort that a sane god would create. If Seth is\u003cbr\u003ecorrect, it should be possible to trace the emergence of this ego-\u003cbr\u003eidentity down through the millennia, following its historical\u003cbr\u003edevelopment as reflected in our changing mythologies, and in\u003cbr\u003ethe societies that created them. This volume sets out on a quest\u003cbr\u003eto follow the developing ego through history's pages, and ends\u003cbr\u003ewith a revolutionary new understanding of our present culture, \u003cbr\u003eand the reasons behind our erroneous belief that consciousness\u003cbr\u003earises from matter, instead of the other way around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Cobban\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8374736747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798374736748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"James Cobban","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136143347967,"sku":"9798374736748","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b024221a-df2a-4fdf-b908-f3b9d69262a8.jpg?v=1726415811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nursery-of-the-gods-volume-james-cobban-9798374736748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
