“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

We have been involved in a re-educational process from the beginning, then, and wherever you have not succeeded it has been because on those areas you were not able to fully accept those precepts, and apply them effectively. In those areas where you have not been effectively successful, you often seem faced with evidence to the contrary—and that evidence can appear to be quite concrete, because it is of course reinforced daily.

Such evidence can be of small or large measure. For example, it is a statement of fact, my dear Joseph, that when you leave your work on “Unknown” you must then spend much time reacquainting yourself with the material, struggling to assimilate material, regaining continuity, and so forth. I know of your trick with the crossword puzzles, so that words later come to your mind at your suggestion. That is also a fact, and you constantly reinforce that fact whenever you have difficulty with puzzles—so that difficulty is most usually turned into an enjoyable challenge, with resulting triumph.

You have an excellent grasp of “Unknown” Reality, and of all the material contained therein. You have, however, reinforced the difficulty through accepting it as a fact, and then treating it, of course, as a fact that must be dealt with on its own terms. You do know, however, that your mind can have such material on hand. It can deliver it to you in the same way as your crossword puzzle exercises, but you have not thoroughly understood, in that regard, that the point of power is in the present, and that you do there also create your own reality.

You have often allowed old beliefs to the contrary to inhibit the exercise of your own mental acuity. You can indeed change that, but you must realize it, and want actively to do so. You must stop reinforcing the negative suggestion, and instead when you leave your desk tell yourself that when you return you will pick up your work where you left off easily and naturally.
