Once in a while, there is a jolt in my perception that starts me questioning my assumptions. I’d like to share one here.
I realised long ago that truth, like life itself, is subjective. As the illustration makes clear, we can all look at the same ‘evidence’, but our viewpoint will affect what appears true to each of us.
I hold my own perception of truth/the meaning of life/’why we’re here’ close to my heart, while doing my best to accept that many of those around me are equally attached to very different interpretations of their lived experience. I expect people to sometimes disagree, to question, to argue against what I hold as irrefutable and clear.
But what happens when they unexpectedly agree?
I recently completed the manuscript for The Realms Beyond Words, my latest book collaboration with Asher, my friend and spiritual teacher. We had compiled it over many months, through a series of telepathic dialogues. He used his out-of-body visits to other realms to share wisdom and information in response to my questions. Some of the material was, erm, cutting edge to say the least.
I consider myself to be fairly open-minded, after almost 30 years of learning from his expanded perception, but some of the new material he shared left me gasping. (I mean, the idea that Planet Earth is steadily expanding and growing… the insistence that our earliest ancestors were not sufficiently ‘physical’ to leave any fossil record… time as a field with no linear progression…) I was expecting pushback.
Strange thing 1
I was quite nervous when I sent the text out to beta readers. What would they make of the new revelations? Would they — and future readers — be able to accept these ideas?
Two of them wrote to say how they were eagerly reading and enjoying every word. The third said something that amazed me. This person told they didn’t find the material surprising, since they had heard most of it already in channelled messages from Bashar.
I was vaguely aware of Darryl Anka’s messages from this entity but had only heard one or two extracts a decade or more ago. Asher had no idea who either Darryl or Bashar were.
How, then, were he and an alleged extra-terrestrial being from the future (had to look that up) saying the same things?
Strange thing 2
It got me thinking about similarities between Asher’s material and other sources I’d subsequently discovered. Let me just add that Asher, a living autistic man in his mid-thirties, left school at 16, abandoned all education, works in a manual job and doesn’t read books. The material he sends me is directly received from encounters within The Realms he visits and some endless database there, which appears to be, or resemble, the Akashic Records.
I’d been picking up information from him for about ten years before I discovered Neale Donald Walsh’s Conversations with God books, and almost double that time before someone suggested I should read Jane Roberts’ Seth books. Yet in both, although they were channelled at different times and delivered in rather different ways, there was nothing that didn’t agree with what Asher had been teaching me. This was doubly strange when you consider that the information in both these sets of books is diametrically opposed to the conventional materialist worldview and very different from traditional religious teachings.
So there was a conundrum. My psychic friend was apparently accessing the same ‘truth’ as various disembodied entities, at various points in time, and asking me to scribe and share it, while being quite unaware of these other sources.
The more I hunted, the more similar material came to me. From Jesuit philosopher Teilhard de Chardin to the wonders implicit in Quantum Science, the same ideas kept appearing and were consistent with what Asher was telling me. I decide to ask him what was going on.
Asher’s explanation
Jes: I’m puzzled by truth and reality. Why does the version you give, while being way out of mainstream, tally with Seth, quantum science, Conversations with God and other resources you haven’t ever studied.
Asher: Seth and CWG are channelled from Source or spirit, which is the same as where I draw my information from. Remember we are participating in The Shift, which means that humanity as an enti(re)ty is awakening to its true purpose or intention. Therefore physicists, philosophers, psychologists, seers and others are coming to the same realisations.
Jes: That’s a great answer. It begs another question, though. You and all those other sources tell us we create our own reality. Are you telling me that the materialists create less valid realities than the rest of us do?
Asher: That’s actually a very useful question. You’ve been reading in your quantum physics book* that the questions people ask change the experiences they have. Those who won’t ask questions that challenge assumptions they grew up with, because it feels too uncomfortable for them, will therefore not expand their experience. They’re stuck in old belief systems and can live quite comfortably in those. From their own perspectives, they are perfectly correct. However, the eggshells are cracking. New life is already emerging. That’s why kids are so different now.
*The Quantum Revelation by Paul Levy
Many of the themes in that discussion relate to our forthcoming book — the conviction that the long-awaited ‘shift’ in awareness has already begun and that with each successive generation more people are being born with enhanced psychic skills and wider awareness, for example.
There are many truths, but from what Asher and others are saying, there seems to be an evolutionary thrust towards a spiritual and consciousness-based understanding of reality.
Hi Jes, I am intrigued by your story. Such a juicy topic! Left me reflecting on what truth feels like to me and how my sense of truth has evolved over time.
I don’t think it’s necessary to draw a strict line between materialists and *other people.
The other day I met a baby and their parents. What they told me was rich and powerful. Baby had lifted a pot with one hand the other day. Not anticipating gravity Baby then let go of the pot in mid air and hurt his other hand when the pot fell down (unexpectedly from baby’s perspective). This leaves me curious. Might we all have to first learn the laws of what we see/prove/explain (how materials work) before we can then unlearn it? Is it more of an evolving process then a controversy?
Warm greetings
Hi Anonymous,
Thanks so much for reading and commenting.
Without even checking with Asher, I know what his response would be…
Yes, when we move from spirit into a new earthly incarnation, we need to learn the ‘rules’ that govern this seeming reality – gravity amongst them. That’s why newly arrived Earthlings have more experienced ones to guide and protect them.
However Newtonian physics is only one aspect of Life. That baby arrived with knowledge of a deeper truth. Depending on how the child is reared, they may remember or temporarily forget their wider existence and the domain where everything happens at the speed of thought. More and more are retaining or remembering that wisdom as we move into The Shift.
Hi Jes,
I have been wondering about this. The explanations of the true nature of Reality seem to align quite nicely among said sources. Also intriguing that the message keeps emerging into our society – it appears to be of great importance that it does not get forgotten. Seth called the personalities responsible for keeping this torch of knowledge lit the Speakers.
They ensure that even when a civilization becomes heavily focused on the external, material world, the knowledge that “consciousness creates reality” is never completely lost. They “speak” this truth into the world in various ways. Asher is a Speaker. You are a Speaker. I have little doubt about that. Especially with Asher’s comments about you already teaching in Atlantis during another incarnation.
Have you talked to Asher about Seth in more depth? I’d be curious to hear how familiar Ash is with the Seth Material and whether he ever had “contact” with Seth – or if that question is ridiculous altogether : – )

Hello Hauke,
I’m delighted to find a fellow Seth reader here.
I’d never thought of Asher or myself as being part of the network of Speakers Seth describes, but maybe that’s why, even from when he was a small child, I felt compelled to note down Asher’s thoughts, and he felt he needed to share them with me.
As for your question – not ridiculous at all – I’ve just texted Asher to ask whether he has read any of Seth directly, but not got a reply yet. He’s certainly read some quotes I’ve shared with him and probably picks up others from my memory banks.
He rarely seems to link up with particular ‘personalities’ in spirit, although there have been one or two exceptions. I strongly suspect that, as you say, there is knowledge that needs to be kept alive in the material world and that he, Seth and many others tune into that so that it can be shared.
Thank you for your question,
Jes
I’ve craved finding “The Truth” — that singular, immutable constant — for a long time in matters great and small. But I’ve never landed on a feeling of 100% certainty on anything, which is quite dissatisfying in that regard. That fact (what’s a fact anyway?) that I’m operating in a constant mode of uncertainty could be quite unnerving for me. Luckily I’ve stumbled upon a couple of fascinating exercises in art and science that have helped me tolerate uncertainty if not embrace it. I remember watching a video focusing on a seeming pile of junk. The camera then started to pan along the junk pile degree by degree until it stopped at a spot that revealed what it was — a reproduction of a classic masterpiece painting (wish I could tell you which one). It appears to be a meaningless pile of junk in almost every position on the x.,y.,z plane save for this one spot. It seemed to be an example of one of the many possible expressions of Truth — there to find but easy to miss. In the science realm, the Double Slit Experiment really got my hamster wheel spinning. The idea that the normal pattern of how photons pass through two slits does something unexpected is wild enough. But then when you try to observe what is going on the photons go back to behaving the way you originally expected — that’s kind of mind blowing. And maybe that’s the point. Maybe this experiment was Source’s way of displaying its impish sense of humor with a nod and a wink. — “Not so fast, humankind. Your calculating brain is limited in The Truth it can process. ” Maybe that’s where the heart comes in?
Many thanks to you, Jes and Asher, for sharing your understandings. Wishing you well from across The Pond.
Hello Wayne,
Lovely to make your acquaintance.
Both your examples of the variability of ‘truth’ are great. I think discovering the double slit experiment was one of the defining moments in my life, as it threw the world as I knew it into total chaos. That’s why I’ve been reading up on quantum physics (or the bits of it my ‘calculating brain’ can comprehend).
I wonder if you have come across Dean Radin’s experimental work? Impressive!
