“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

There were certain beliefs of yours together, again, that once served a purpose. They kept you from “falling for” certain temptations in society. These worked well for some time. When you found yourselves able to buy a house, however, both of you experienced some conflict because of those beliefs, held over too long.

You could have stayed in apartments all your life, denying yourself the privacy that you now enjoy, and thus avoided any conflict. You chose to grow, to experiment, and to face whatever issues were involved. For you, the artist was not connected with any ideas of homemaking, though outside of that context you wanted to own your own piece of land, however small. Around you, you found, were men who had traveled other roads—your neighbors, and you felt yourselves to be aliens. You put yourselves in the middle, simply speaking, of the conventional world that earlier it seemed you had sworn to combat or ignore. This was quite necessary, for you were in danger of thinking of conventional people as symbols only—not as individuals with their own problems and concerns.

The idea of a workroom, so-called—and I prefer studio—is a good one; excellent. You found yourselves surrounded, however, by men whose life-style is completely alien to your own. This added conflict for both of you.
