“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I’m still shocked to realize that while I was laboring over Mass Events, and Jane was doing God of Jane, that those two books had stirred up even more resistance on the part of that personified Sinful Self, and that when they were finished we were then confronted with a new barrage of symptoms that ended up restricting [and protecting?] Jane’s physical manipulability even more. [...]

(So here again, we have a reference to Jane’s possible feelings about Seth and what he does, regardless of whether his labors may be eventually published as “a Seth book.” [...]

[...] He worked at the quite physical labor involved. [...]

[...] Several affairs frightened you both: the woman in labor, for example, and the affair in which Ruburt banged upon the table. [...]

[...] Now, many personalities may work together to form a time system, as many men may labor to form a national highway. [...]

[...] His ability to focus direction of energy in his writing has vastly improved, due to the last months’ labors, and will show in his book.

[...] What good were ornate cathedrals, replete with carved angels, saints, and gargoyles, gleaming with glazed colorful windows, when the people lived in hovels and labored in the fields? [...]

[...] As an individual you may place this power upon an employer, a labor union, or any other segment of society. [...]

[...] By now both of us were bleary from all of those days and nights of concentrated labor, but still we wanted to hold the session. [...]

[...] There’s always a long slow rate of turnover in our labors, it seems: As one book or project is finished, another rises almost effortlessly to take its place, and everything rolls along together until the next large change comes about.

[...] If it were not for the labor involved on your part, Joseph, I would speak to you both more often. [...]

(Pause.) Most men’s abilities are prosaic enough and conventional enough so that their value can be ascertained—or worked out by labor unions (amused). [...]

[...] I would not be in favor of extending her labors in such cases. [...]
