“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.

This doesn’t mean that in the interim you allow every negative thought freedom however. Now you are beginning a most significant venture here. I want to impress upon you its importance. I want to make sure in these initial stages that you have the correct ideas. If you do not sell a painting by next week, for example, I do not want you to say “This does not work.” You have many negative patterns to conquer.

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.

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.

Automatic rejections therefore should be avoided. In your thoughts of finances, also avoid limiting ideas, both specifically and generally. If a bill arrives do not think “How will we ever pay this?” or “This will make us short,” for you are painting your picture of poverty, you see. Instead say to yourself “Money to pay this bill is coming to me.” You will instantly set up currents of activity that will bring it about. With the other reaction you close them off and deny them.
