“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When Ruburt took your second apartment, he did so taking it on faith and against all physical evidence to the contrary that he would have the money to afford it, and the money came. Yet whenever you begin a new situation of physical improvements with Ruburt, after the first enthusiasm the both of you instantly revert to the old “test-it-out-at-once, check-the-physical-evidence” kind of thinking. This immediately removes the necessary conditions for improvement. These are laws. When you start checking in that manner, it is because you doubt the results. When you feel that way then it seems sheer Pollyanna to believe in improvement, for you are again faced with the evidence upon which you focus your attention.

Since the two of you together follow more or less the same pattern of reaction there, you are faced with spotty results. A child knows something will go away if you pretend it does not exist. To the adult this seems like the sheerest of nonsense; yet the child’s connections with the heroic dimension still remind him of that truth.
