You block your own energy many times because of old habits. If you faithfully followed through on your moods, inclinations and leanings, in, say, any given week, you would discover that you wanted to work, felt like working, and worked well for certain periods of time.

You would not go shopping or do any chores you did not absolutely need to do. Your work would be clear and unimpeded. It would dictate what decisions you made. You felt like working and so you worked. It would make little difference, and this applies to each of you, whether you worked 12 hours for three days straight, or whether you worked more regular hours. Following your inclinations, you would discover your own prime working creative rhythm.

On other occasions you would not feel like working. You would not force yourself to work on those occasions, for your natural need for play of some kind —outings or guests—would then assert themselves. You would enjoy chores done then, for your body and mind would both be refreshed by the different activities.

You would be working intensely when you work, and your relaxation periods would be far more refreshing. Your work would come easier. The irritations are caused by blockages. You do chores often when you feel like working, and often when there is no real necessity to do them. The few, very few, daily necessary chores are minute. On the other hand, you often work when you do not feel like it, but need other refreshment, simply because of course you have already tired yourself through the ensuing dilemmas.

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.

Their need gives impetus to this work. They not only buy books for themselves and for friends, but they use the books like ladders, and if they were at the same point of development, so to speak, in the psychic field as you are, they would not need the books; and their needs, like yours, would be elsewhere.
