“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

[...] I preferred the small-town life, but had about exhausted my professional options after doing medical illustrations for the local but well-known Robert Packer Hospital (some drawings won prizes in traveling exhibitions), working briefly in radio, painting signs, and so forth. [...]

[...] In his later years my father, Robert Sr., had trained himself to become an excellent professional photographer. [...]

Professional writing was simply outside of their experience. [...]

[...] When we met, John had little interest in an operatic career, as far as I recall, yet had taken professional singing lessons and given auditions. [...]

[...] Neither of these two companions are professional nurses, though they are used to taking care of people with troubles like Miss Callahan’s. May 23 is the date Seth gave us as a day of crisis for Miss Callahan; and Seth reiterated this along with a word of caution in the last session, the 54th, page 90.

[...] Gene had questioned Seth in what I guess you could call “professional philosophical jargon,” making frequent references to esoteric Eastern theories with which I was totally unfamiliar. [...]
