“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

When he felt you both needed money, the work aspects were magnified. He did not dare to drop them. He had seen your family’s reaction to you as an artist. Work must bring money in that context.

Ruburt’s normal “work periods” would often involve nonconventional hours, however, precisely because they were nonconventional. Each morning he felt it his duty to get up at a decent hour to go to work. At the same time artistic work had other connotations. Everything else was unimportant by contrast, so that other pursuits became taboo. If you went out in the day people knew you were not working. You early used the word “chores” for activities in which Ruburt took a childish delight. With his literal-mindedness, and for reasons given in the past, he also began to think of them as chores. Otherwise he would want to do them and not work.

You have to some extent closed off your creativity by thinking of it in terms of the time you have to give to “your work.” Again, while a certain time is required for any activity as far as artistic inspiration is concerned, there is little correlation, for artistic inspiration is independent of time.
