“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There are more than your thought forms in other words. Your thought forms however can be used as definite aids when you are in the proper mental condition, and they can impede your progress if you are not. In physical reality a man in a desperate frame of mind is more apt to emphasize horrible aspects in the news, for example, and to see desperation rather than joy in the faces of those he meets. He will ignore the contented playful child on one side of the street, and notice instead a dirty ragged boy even though he be further away. So your frame of mind when projecting will largely determine the sort of experiences you have, and the environments you visit.

—but something of equal or stronger intensity. Womanly pride in Ruburt’s case is a help for example. (Long pause.) Other elements also come into play. As your inner environment changes you also begin to attract others. You will begin to attract people who want to buy paintings for example. There is a snowballing effect—an acceleration, that is quite evident as soon as the first groundwork has been laid.
