We’ve now come to understand that these physical, visceral sensations are confirming evidence that we’re currently on the path to something of extreme value,
Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts,
words do not teach, that only life experience teaches, but the combination of life experience coupled with words that define and explain can enhance the experience of learning—and it is in that spirit that we offer these words. There are Universal Laws that affect everything in
The first Law, the Law of Attraction, says: That which is like unto itself, is drawn.
The second Law, the Science of Deliberate Creation, says: That which I give thought to and that which I believe or expect—is. In short, you get what you are thinking about, whether you want it or not. A deliberate application of thought is really what the Science of Deliberate Creation is about, for if you do not understand these Laws, and deliberately apply them, then you may very well be creating by default.
The third Law, the Art of Allowing, says: I am that which I am, and I am willing to allow all others to be that which they are. When you are willing to allow others to be as they are, even in their not allowing of you, then you will be an Allower, but it is not likely that you will reach that point until you first come to understand how it is you
Once you understand that all people, circumstances, and events are invited into your experience by you, through your thought, you will begin to live your life as you intended when you made the decision to come forth into this physical body. And so, an understanding of the powerful Law of Attraction, coupled with an intention to Deliberately Create your own life experience, will ultimately lead you to the unparalleled freedom that can only come from a complete understanding and application of the Art of Allowing.
And so, if you are feeling fat, you cannot attract thin. If you feel poor, you cannot attract prosperity, and so on. It defies Law.
In order for things to change, you have to see them as you want them to be rather than continuing to observe them as they are. The
Your real work is to decide what you want and then focus upon it, for it is through focusing upon what you want that you will attract it. That is the process of creating: giving thought to what you want, so much thought, and such clear thought, that your Inner Being offers forth emotion. And as you are giving thought, with emotion, you become the most powerful of all magnets. That is the process by which you will attract what you want into your experience.
that may seem to be your state of Being, it need not be. Your state of Being is the way you feel about yourself at any point in time.
I like being here; I recognize the value and power of this time. I feel very good to be here. I see myself in a sort of total package, one that I know is of my own creating, and certainly a package of my choosing. I am full of energy in this picture of myself—tireless, and really moving through life experience without resistance. As I see myself gliding about, moving in and out of my car, in and out of buildings, in and out of rooms, in and out of conversations, and in and out of life experiences, I see myself flowing effortlessly, comfortably, and happily. I see myself attracting only those

I recognize that I am unlimited in all facets of my life. . . . I have a bank account balance that is unlimited, and as I see myself moving through life experiences, it is exhilarating to know that there is nothing that I am choosing that is limited by money. I am making all of my decisions based upon whether I want the experience or not—not based upon whether or not I can afford the experience. For I know I am a magnet who attracts, at any point, whatever prosperity, health, and relationships I choose.
I see myself in perfect health. I see myself in absolute prosperity. I see myself invigorated with life, again appreciating this physical life experience that I wanted so very much as I decided to be a physical Being. It is glorious to be here as a physical Being, making decisions with my physical brain but accessing the power of the Universe through the power of the Law of Attraction. And it is from this marvelous state of Being that I now attract more of the same. It is good. It is fun. I like it very much.
By staying focused on a subject of your choosing, your point of attraction on that topic will become much more powerful than if your mind moves from subject to subject. There is tremendous power in focusing.
Whenever you catch yourself feeling negative emotion, we would suggest that you try to gently pull your thoughts around to something that you do want to experience, and
Whenever you feel negative emotion, it is always telling you that whatever you are thinking about is important, and that you are thinking about the opposite of what you really desire. So questions such as “What was I thinking about when this negative emotion surfaced?” and “What is it that I do want regarding this?” will help you realize that you are, in this moment, focused in direct opposition to what you really do want to attract into your experience.
This is usually the time of year that I get the flu. I don’t want to get the flu this year. I hope I don’t get the flu this year. It seems like everyone gets it. That may be an exaggeration. Everyone doesn’t get the flu. In fact, there have been many flu seasons when I didn’t get the flu. I don’t always get the flu. It’s possible that this flu season could come and go without touching me at all. I like the idea of being healthy. Those past flu experiences came before I realized that I can control my experience. Now that I understand the power of my own thoughts, things have changed. Now that I

Your dreams give you a glimpse into what you have created or what you are in the process of creating— but you are not in the process of creating while you are dreaming.
if you notice everything about someone else, then you are inviting all of those aspects into your experience. If you give your attention only to the things you like most about them, you will invite into your experience only those things. If someone is in your life, you have attracted them. And while it is sometimes difficult to believe, you also attract everything about your experience with them—for nothing can come into your experience without your personal attraction
It is not possible to push things that you do not want away from you, because in your pushing against them you are actually activating the vibration of them and therefore attracting them. Everything
The Universe, which is responding to the thoughts that you are thinking, does not distinguish between a thought brought about by your observation of some reality you have witnessed and a thought brought about by your imagination. In either case, the thought equals your point of attraction—and if you focus upon it long enough, it will become your reality.
When joy is really important to you, you do not allow yourself to focus upon things that do not feel good—and the result of thinking only thoughts that feel good would cause you to create a wonderful life filled with all things that you desire.
Deliberately guiding your thoughts is the key to a joyful life, but a desire to feel joy is the best plan of all . . . because in the reaching for joy, you find the thoughts that attract the wonderful life you desire.
“Which is superior, uplifting another by believing in their success, or adding to their discouragement by noticing where they are?” “Which is superior, being in alignment with my Inner Being and then taking action, or being out of alignment and taking action?” “Which is superior, adding to one’s success or adding to one’s failure?” The greatest gift that you could ever give another is the gift of your expectation of their success. There are as many different worlds as there are perceivers,
They are creating their own agony by giving thought to that which they do not want.
When you understand that unwanted things cannot assert themselves into your experience, but that everything is invited to you and by you through thought, you never again feel threatened by what others may be choosing to live, even if they are very close by—for they cannot be a part of your experience.
The longer you stay focused upon what you do not want, the greater and more powerful that thought will become. But if you are sensitive to your emotions and you withdraw your attention from the unwanted subject very quickly, you will begin to feel better, and you will stop the attraction of this unwanted thing.
I want perfect health! I like feeling good. I enjoy my good-feeling body. I have many positive memories of feeling good in my body. I see many people who are clearly in a state of good health, and it is easy to see how much they are enjoying their good-feeling bodies. When I think thoughts like these, I feel good. These thoughts are in harmony with a healthy body.
I want financial prosperity! There are so many wonderful things that are readily available in this wonderful world, and financial prosperity opens the door to so many of those things. Since the Law of Attraction responds to my thoughts, I have decided to focus predominantly upon the abundance that is possible, understanding that it is only a matter of time before my thoughts of prosperity will be matched by the flow of financial prosperity. Since the Law of Attraction will bring me the object of my attention, I choose abundance.
I want great relationships. I so enjoy nice, clever, funny, energetic, stimulating people, and I love knowing that this planet is abundant with them. I have met so many interesting people, and I love the discovery of fascinating characteristics in the people I meet. It seems that the more I enjoy people, the more people whom I enjoy come into my experience. I love this time of spectacular cocreation.
Your words will not bring you immediate manifestations of what you are asking for, but the more often you say them, and the better you feel while you are saying them, the purer or less contradicted your vibration will be. And soon your world will be filled with these things you have spoken about. . . . Words alone do not attract, but when you feel emotion when you speak, that means your vibration is strong—and the Law of Attraction must answer those vibrations.
you intended to use your body to enjoy that which you have created through your thought.
Rather than being so ready to jump into action to get the things that you want, we say think them into being; see them, visualize them, and expect them—and they will be. And you will be guided, inspired, or led to the perfect action that will bring about the process that will lead you to that which you seek . . . and there is a great difference between that which we have spoken and the way most of the world is going about it.
If you focus upon whatever you want, you will attract whatever you want. If you focus upon the lack of whatever you want, you will attract more of the lack. (Every subject is really two subjects: what you want and the lack, or absence, of what you want.) If you are paying attention to the way you are feeling, you will always know whether you are focused upon what you want or upon the lack of it—for when you are thinking of what you want, you are feeling good, and when you are thinking of the lack of what you want, you are feeling bad. As you say, “I want money to support my lifestyle,” you are

An Exercise to Assist in Deliberate Creation
You have given thought to it with emotion, so you have created it, but you do not allow it into your experience because you do not really expect it. However, as you are walking out of the theater, if your friend says to you, “It may only be a movie, but it once happened to me,” then you may begin pondering that thought, and in doing so, you may bring yourself to the belief or expectation that that could also happen to you—and then it will. Giving thought, on the one hand, and expecting or believing, on the other hand, is the balance that brings to you that which you receive.
If you want it and expect it, it will be yours very soon.
Thoughts that evoke your emotions are those that most quickly effect change in your life. Thoughts that you think while feeling no emotion will maintain what is already there. And so, those things that you have already created and appreciate can be kept in your life by continuing to appreciate them. But those things that you do not yet have that you want very soon (and very much), you must give clear, conscious, deliberate, emotion-evoking thought.
If you want to be of greatest value to others, see them as you know they want to be. That is the influence that you want to offer.
If something you want is slow to come to you, it can be for only one reason: You are spending more time focused upon its absence than you are about its presence.
intentions is a matter of paying attention to the way you feel. . . . Be specific enough that you feel positive emotion, but not so specific that you begin feeling negative emotion.
In this unlimited Universe, there need be no competition for resources, for the resources are unlimited. You may deprive yourself of receiving them, and therefore perceive a shortage, but it is really of your own making.
As you are envisioning yourself within that which you are imagining, you are attracting the circumstances whereby you will find the means to create it.
Every thought that you think, if you keep thinking it, will eventually become powerful enough to attract the essence of itself into your experience.
Everyone, without exception, is attracting everything that comes into their experience, but when you deliberately choose the direction of your thought, gently guiding your attention to betterfeeling thoughts, you will no longer create unwanted things by default. Your conscious awareness of the powerful Law of Attraction, coupled with your determination to pay attention to your emotions and your desire to feel good, will cause you to experience the joy of Deliberate Creation.
Allowing is the art of finding a way of looking at things that still allows your connection to your Inner Being at the same time. It
When you think about something that pleases you, by the Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are similar to it will begin to come forth. When you think of something that displeases you, by the Law of Attraction, other thoughts that are like that will begin to come forth until you find yourself reaching into your past for similar thoughts; and you will find yourself discussing them with others until you are surrounded by a larger and larger, ever-growing larger, thought. And as this thought is growing larger and larger, it is gaining momentum; it is gaining power . . . attraction power. An

Now, the Law of Deliberate Creation is described in this way: That which I give thought to, I begin to attract. That which I give thought to that brings forth strong emotion, I attract more quickly. And once I have launched it powerfully by giving thought that evokes emotion, then, as I expect that which I have thought about—I get it. The balance of Deliberate Creation is two-sided, so
