“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

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.

(10:25.) Spontaneity knows its own order. The creative self is the most spontaneous of all. There are hidden rhythms of creativity that you do not take advantage of, and I am not speaking here to you (RFB) alone. They become overlaid with cultural habits. The suggestions I have made will help release these, and allow you to utilize them. It is rather silly to see people every Friday night on schedule unless that policy suits you. It is silly, however, in the same way to force yourself to concentrate at a time when you really yearn for activity. As it is, you often feel guilty whether you work or play, so to speak. Obviously you may not each feel the same way at the same time, but if you clearly communicate your feelings to each other, that is no problem. The material is valuable if you use it. It represents a way of handling your energy that is native to your own being, and permits creativity its easiest, most natural flow.

It means trusting yourself, following your own rhythms, riding the thrust, the aggressive and joyful thrust of your creativity full blast, so to speak. But it also means no artificial rules. It is simplistic to say that you need food to work, and yet going out into the world in such a manner does indeed become its own creative endeavor when it is clearly embarked upon. If you follow my advice, a natural balance will result. The chores will get done, but they will no longer be chores. Your guests will be enjoyed because you will see them when you naturally feel so inclined.
