One’s work is the focal point between the old and the new; between one’s past and the future; between parent and offspring. Experience the conflict between the expectations of your parents or tradition, on the one hand—your own needs and calling, on the other. Let work be your application of high personal standards and in so doing resolve the conflict between old and new.

Then what would ye do with thy abilities? As ye give to others, not hating them, to know more of the Universal Forces, so may ye have the more, for, God is love.

Do that, and ye will bring bettered conditions for yourself. Work where you are. As was given to those who were called, "The ground upon which ye stand is holy."

Begin where you are. If there are the needs for other environs, these will be shown—will be given thee. 4021-1


What then is the purpose of the entity’s activity in the consciousness of mind? That it, the entity, may know itself to be itself and part of the Whole; not the Whole but one with the Whole; and thus retaining its individuality, knowing itself to be itself yet one with the purposes of the First Cause that called it, the entity, into being, into the awareness, into the consciousness of itself.

That is the purpose, that is the cause of being. 826-11


(Q) What is my mission in this incarnation?

(A) As has been indicated, again dissemination of truth in its relationship to things, to conditions, to individuals, to nations.

(Q) Am I making progress in that direction?

(A) You are at the crossroad—the choice is to be made! Choose the spiritual import!

(Q) Should I proceed with the work I am planning for greater harmony in the industry; between management and labor?

(A) Provided the spirituality is included. For the spirit giveth life; the law killeth; the spirit giveth life!

(Q) Will this work prove as beneficial as I think it will?

(A) Do it for the cause of Him, who is truth and ye may leave the results to Him and it will not be a failure. 5395-1


Ever, ever, the fruits of the Spirit in their awareness; long-suffering, brotherly love, patience, kindness, gentleness, hope and faith!

If ye in thy activities in any manner with thy fellow man destroy these in the minds, in the heart of thy fellow man, ye are not only slipping but ye have taken hold on the path of destruction.

Then so love, so act, so think that others seeing thy good works, thy hopes that ye bring, thy faith that ye manifest, thy patience that ye show, may also glorify Him.

For that cause, for that purpose ye entered into the materiality in the present. 826-11
