Instead, the popular cliché “you create your own reality” was coined by the disembodied spirit or “energy essence personality” named “Seth” who was channeled through the mediumship of Jane Roberts (Seth/Jane) during the years 1963–1984. Such a compelling statement might appear to derive directly from Transcendentalism, the self-reliant, idealist religious movement championed by Ralph Waldo Emerson early in the nineteenth century or, its origin could lie in the pragmatist tradition advocated by William James. ![]()
