“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

In a manner of speaking, the man’s feet touch the ground but they do not touch the fire. The man believes his feet will not be burned. That belief generates certain actions or events, so that practically speaking, while he sees the flames, and perhaps smells the smoke, the heat of the fire will have no effect—because for him its character is changed. He ignores the evidences of his senses.

Those desires of yours, that are fitting to your nature, will automatically come to pass, unless you block them through disadvantageous beliefs. They cannot be blocked by others. If they seem to be blocked by others, that assumption is incorrect, based on ignorance.

Imagine, say, a young woman named Sally. She deals with people very well, exceptionally well. She has a mediocre voice, though pleasant enough. For whatever reasons, she decides that she wants to be an opera star. The desire is not in keeping with her own abilities. It may have been triggered by envy of another person, or for the sake of fame, but it does not fit her abilities. She may ignore the fact that her talents lie in having an excellent rapport with others. She puts into Framework 2 a desire that is not in keeping with her own best development. She may train her voice, take lessons, while yet she is thwarted at auditions, until it seems people are against her.
