“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

Such expressions do not mean backsliding on his part. They should be recognized for what they are, and he should (underlined) definitely express them to you when he feels that way. They are momentary—or at least having expressed themselves in a certain rhythm they then give way to other positive experience. This does not mean that he should concentrate upon them, of course. This period of time is leading you both away from black or white patterns of thought to some degree, so that you can consider the aspects of your lives, bothered less by absolutes. It is certainly time to look at your prerogatives, as I have stressed. Love-making, expressions of loving support and encouragement should come higher up on your lists on both of your parts than before.

It may seem that the question of services (like the lawn) is a mundane one, yet it is connected of course with your attitudes toward work and daily life. Your writing and painting provide “services” of a different order. You should make no absolute decisions in the latter, say, of other services. Some can be enjoyable adjuncts, and serve as relaxation. In other words, avoid black or white thinking. Take advantage of having services occasionally performed by others, and be more flexible in that regard.

(Long pause.) Tonight’s assurances in that area should themselves encourage him. Absolute thinking can often lead to dead-ended thoughts or plans. His attitudes toward the medical profession (pause) are indeed changing—not that he sees medical practices in any more favorable and overall light, but that he recognizes that absolutism is no answer either. Nor should such decisions be made through the auspices of personal fear. There are degrees of participation, for example. You should be free to make your decisions with a fairly clear mind.

The same applies in a fashion to services, or even to your physical establishment. There are various organizations possible in your house, for example, if you forget absolute thinking, and if you forget conventional thinking in general when you apply it to creative benefits.
