“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

While these suggestions may appear on the surface quite different from others I have given, if you look closely you will see that they are another method of encouraging spontaneity, and methods most suited now to his circumstances. In a weekly period, for example (rather than a daily one), these suggestions if followed will show him his own rhythms and patterns, so that he may feel like going out impulsively because he wants to, after a bout of writing, rather than feel that he “should.”

Apropos of your joint discussion on Monday: it was advantageous. One point Ruburt missed, however. He knows when he spontaneously wants to go out, or to a joint, or whatever. When he tells himself that he must go out every day, then that feeling goes directly counter to his feelings that he may know quite well he wants to write and not go out. The symptoms then are intensified because of the conflict.

On the other hand, if he is writing and spontaneously wants to move about, and realizes this, have him get up, wash a window, or go out. Have him trust his instincts. The mind needs that rest.
