“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Now, if there ever was a puritan remark it was the one that just escaped our friend, Ruburt’s lips, for in his mind still, you see, you must have this purpose and be active and it is wrong to simply go back to bed for no better reason than that you want to go back to bed.

Now, in all of your minds there is still this conception that what you want to do automatically, because you want to do it, must be wrong because it is too easy. Now reality is easy. This universe is not maintained by conscious thought and if all of you together had to consciously decide ahead of time why the universe should exist, it would not exist, for you would not have made up your mind yet. Be lucky and thankful that the inner self does not have these hang-ups. You see how well I do with your vocabulary.

Many of you would have questioned yourselves for an hour, “Why do I want to go back to bed? It is wicked and lazy and wrong of me to even think of such a thing. How will the world do without me if I am not up and about? The devil deals with idle minds.” And so, at the end of an hour, had you begrudgingly gone to your bed, the inspiration would have long since departed. What inspiration could hang around in such thought? You laugh spontaneously, the Gods laugh spontaneously. They do not stop, first of all, to decide whether it is right or wrong.
