“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Realize that each time you replace a negative thought or feeling by a positive one, this is like making a correction in a painting. Soon you will be able to do this automatically, but in the beginning conscious effort is needed.

If Ruburt has the full plan for a book in his head, then this is real. It may take him a while to put it on paper. It may take him a while to receive the money when it is sold, but all of this is dependent upon the first and basic reality—the idea for the book. Therefore know that your positive ideas of health and abundance are the basic realities, the most important.

Do not overemphasize however in intellectual terms, but use imagination and feeling. An overemphasis implies a fear, and will impede results. Intensive concentration along these lines should be followed by several days when you simply do your prayer experiments and then let the whole thing drop from your mind, and give the creative inner self an opportunity to work for you. This will insure success and you will not be overhammering the point. Do you follow me?

It is quite possible you see for you to have results tomorrow, but it takes time to paint the picture from your idea. You know you will do the painting in physical terms, and you know you will have results in this endeavor, and excellent ones. It is very important that Ruburt, here, change his attitude toward his physical body – his own image of it.

He must think of it as lovely, flexible, quick and responsive. It has not done anything to him. He must think of lovingly recreating it, of helping it. He knows this but lest he forget I will remind him. He must think of it as a joy, a comfort, an aid, rather than a rigid bony thing he must put up with. He should consider it a thing of joy to himself and to you.

Some of this had to do with your own background. There was also a feeling, “Since you do not buy my paintings, do not hand me your junk.” But these people did not feel you wanted them to buy your paintings. You did not project that thought.

You mentioned this to Ruburt recently. I wanted to point out the important point however, the rejection on your part, as well as the attraction or the reason for the offering. Remember what I said about limitations. There is more here. Give us a moment. Behind it a fear of being taken advantage of when you accepted anything from another. But the habit of rejection, generally applied, (underlined) is a limiting one.

Specific incidents may be reacted to freely. But an overall pattern of rejection should be watched. It can extend to ideas, and limit both creativity and abundance. Its basis is fear. When you realize you have freedom, there is nothing to fear in this way. Do you follow me?

Now Ruburt did follow through here with your car, and he simply saw you paying the last of the money, without any idea of where the money was coming from, but believing it would be there while not draining your own account.

You must still realize how practical these ideas are. You should realize it, for you can see their effect when they are used negatively. This is the way you build your life, whether you realize it or not. This is one of the main purposes of my material, that you construct your own physical reality, and that it is a replica of your ideas. For this does not apply within your system only, but beyond it.

(10:43. I told Jane that I did have a question but hadn’t asked it because we both seemed to be tiring. It concerned the best general approach to establish our new attitudes, since we had many different desires at hand to deal with.

(“Yes, but they can wait.”)
