Description

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we sit down with author James Cobban to discuss his two-volume work, “Nursery of the Gods,” which represents a distillation and interpretation of the massive amount of channeled material from medium and author Jane Roberts. 

The information Roberts presents in a number of volumes reportedly comes from a discarnate entity named Seth. Her aptly named body of work, the “Seth Material,” was produced from late 1963 until her death in 1984. To write, she’d enter a trance state and dictate the material to her husband.

Many credit Roberts and her work as the foundation of New Age philosophy, and consider it the most influential channeled text of the post–World War II era.

Roberts herself refused to identify Seth as a spirit, though she thought that possible, and never rejected the alternative idea that he may have been a creation of her own subconscious.

Witnesses to her process noted that Seth’s voice and mannerism were considerably different from Jane’s.

Her work covers a vast amount of subject matter, from the creation and make-up of the human soul, to reincarnation, UFOs, and the nature of major spiritual prophets.

Cobban has taken the many volumes of the Seth Material and condensed it down into two volumes that encapsulate the philosophic and ontological ideas there presented.

Nursery of the Gods is well-written, well-organized, and a fascinating read. Cobban has largely kept his work to like-minded social media communities, and this interview is the first time he’s presented his ideas to a more general audience. Yet his work displays a sophistication and passion that belies that relative anonymity.
