“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Present methods cannot investigate this type of expansion any more than they can investigate the validity, development, and rate of expansion of an idea.

This cannot be stressed too strongly. As it happens, ideas do vary in their energy structure. There are basic laws that can be applied, as far as the expansion rate of idea is concerned. Present scientific methods will not discover such laws, however.

There are times when expectation suddenly shifts. It has been in the process of changing, but it suddenly shows the change as it suddenly becomes obvious through physical construction. When it finally manages to change constructions, bringing them into line with present alterations, the individual realizes that something has happened.

With the present heating system, high expectations would have increased its efficiency. Low expectations would have decreased its efficiency. Your fear of commitment was indeed an element here. You have both steadily doubted your practical efficiency in a material universe, and you will continue to do so, for with your present attitudes you will not test your efficiency. Or if you dare test it, your fears will defeat you, and only serve to convince you further of this inefficiency.
