agency 5
- You form your reality, and no one is put in a position they did not first accept as a challenge
- No one is at the mercy of unconscious drives unless they consciously go along with them
Jane Roberts
Author of the Seth books (1929 to 1984), which she spoke in trance as a personality calling himself Seth while her husband Robert F. Butts wrote them down; they made her a central figure of the idea that you create your own reality.
