“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

The negative thoughts can and should be recognized and plucked up as they are encountered, but you do not need a shovel to pluck up one weed at a time, nor hit yourself over the head with a sledgehammer for finding a weed in your garden. This does little to help the gardener but put him out of commission for a while, and it does not pluck any more weeds.

In other words negative thoughts can be recognized and plucked out with no more rancor than you would pluck out weeds in a garden. There is no need blaming yourself that in the past you allowed the weeds to grow, sometimes in your ignorance imagining them to be flowers. Your job now is simply to remove them, and as you remove each one, easily, to drop in a seed of positive thought to replace it.

Now apply what I have said tonight about Ruburt to yourself, in terms of your desire for abundance in all things, and examine yourself to see what negative attitudes you have, that you may not have recognized. Take the pen example, and apply it to other things that you want; and remember again, imagination as a valuable tool used correctly. It is your paintbrush, with which you form your reality. Do you have questions?

Now these are merely a few ideas that come to mind, and while you hold them they form the reality in which you exist physically. Change the ideas around completely, and I tell you, you will sell your paintings. While you hold these ideas you are telling yourself that your desire cannot become fact.
