“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

You then begin to anticipate further distractions. When a so-called distraction at one time is welcomed at another time, then obviously it is no distraction, but expresses a need. You went to the bank today because you thought you should, going against your feelings. You went with your feelings about Maria (Clodes), but this caused you difficulty instead of enjoyment because of the bank. Such a policy would allow you an automatic way of making such decisions, would clear the air, and give you each a far more exuberant flow of energy.

Then you do not resent the afternoon rackets, but accept neighborhood noises as the world’s activity, and it becomes—though you will not believe me—a refreshing and needed counterpoint. Otherwise you find yourselves never fully pleased with what you are doing while you are doing it, and caught up in circles of resentment. You deny yourselves, say, guests when you feel like having them, because you have already done chores that did not particularly need to be done, because you thought you should, when you felt like working.
