In Jung's “energy is
whatever produces work”.
Work is the mark of the
Creator. Jesus himself
said that “The Father
works until now, and so
do I” Jo 5-17. From the
Universal Cosmic Fluid,
which is the matter of
matter, everything is
organized and
transformed into a
permanent evolution
aimed at fulfilling
God's will. As His
children, we act and
interact in this
context, each one with
the possibility of
organizing and creating.
This demands force of
action and intellectual
advances. Well, it is in
the harmonious action
that we expand the
Universe that we are,
like the Universe that,
created, expands to
fulfill its role in
creation. Therefore,
work is the mark of the
Creator and everything,
from Him, exerts a power
that organizes and
transforms itself.
When did we start
working? The answers can
vary infinitely.
Question 540 of The
Book of Spirits clarifies
us as follows:
“Consider these myriads
of animals that, little
by little, make islands
and archipelagos emerge
from the sea. Do you
think that there is no
providential purpose
there and that this
transformation of the
surface of the globe is
not necessary for
general harmony?
However, they are
animals of the lowest
order that perform these
works, providing for
their needs and without
suspecting that they are
instruments of God.
Well, in the same way,
the most backward
spirits offer utility to
the whole. While they
are rehearsing for life,
before they are fully
aware of their actions
and are in the full
enjoyment of free will,
they act on certain
phenomena, of which they
unconsciously constitute
the agents. First,
execute. Later, when
their intelligences have
already reached a
certain development,
they will order and
direct the things of the
material world. Then
they will be able to
direct those of the
moral world. This is how
everything works, how
everything is linked
together in Nature, from
the primitive atom to
the archangel, who also
started out as an atom.
Admirable law of
harmony, which your
timid spirit cannot yet
grasp in its entirety!”
This is the essential
point of our reflection.
Therefore, the work
began for us millions of
years ago when we
experienced the first
manifestations of our
living and from there we
advanced, incontinent,
even without knowing the
existence that would
make us human. Once
there, the work was
expanding and improving.
Joanna de Angelis says
that intelligence is
acquired through lived
experiences and the
apprehension of them.
Work is, therefore, the
driving force behind our
spiritual advances,
which make us a
psychological being with
a propensity to
angelical nature.
Moreover, it is
important to know the
human footsteps since we
got up and became a
biped. It was a long
time for the organs to
adjust to the new
position. That was a big
job. Then the
development of skills,
the formation of
primitive tribes and
their advances.
Researching the
surroundings and trying
to understand it. Later,
the search for nomadic
life and settlements in
search of better living
conditions and even
later the foundation of
city-states, mining, the
beginnings of
industrialization, not
to mention agriculture
and livestock that
enriched us greatly. It
is important to know and
consider that we all
participate in these
events and we bring them
in our unconscious as
archetypes that help us
to perform in the
present. Nothing can be
done today without
having experienced it
yesterday. God created a
world full of
possibilities so that
we, his children, in
seeking and discovering
them, could advance
intellectually and
spiritually.
Many people attribute
human advancements to
intellectual
advancements alone.
However, the spiritual
is also present. Each
action carried out and
implemented makes the
divine monad that we are
grow and each growth we
perform translates into
new opportunities. This
is notorious, because
with each action we take
we are preparing the
next action, just as a
vehicle that, running
kilometers, find others
to overcome until
reaching a place for the
actions that moved its
passengers. This is of
such magnitude that we
will never be parked at
a point of arrival. We
will always look for
another and another,
however at each arrival
the Spirit expands due
to the knowledge of the
point reached. It is a
non-stop work.
In question 674 of The
Book of Spirits we
find that: “Work is a
Law of Nature, and for
that very reason it is a
necessity. Civilization
forces man to work more,
because it increases his
needs and his
pleasures”. Therein lies
the driving force behind
advances. The more we
learn the more needs we
have to learn because
our higher assumptions
increase. Thus, work,
for a long time
considered as a
punishment, is actually
a safe conduct that will
allow us to acquire the
passport to the
knowledge of the
Universe.
Let us look at question
675 of the same book:
"Should we only
understand work as
material occupations?"
No. The Spirit also
works, like the body.
Every useful occupation
is work.” From this
point of view, we can
all better understand
what work is. There is
the action of the Spirit
on matter that vitalizes
it and transforms it
within contexts that
still elude us from a
deeper and more detailed
appreciation. An action
of the Spirit that
generates any kind of
energy can accomplish
feats that are beyond
what we can catalog
distinctly. What we know
is that everything
occurs within an order,
often taken as chance or
continuous and logical
reactions. However,
where is the justice of
that action? Everything
in creation obeys the
logical factor, but also
fair; and everything has
an origin and this
origin is a supreme
frequency that we call
love. Thus, we were
created by love and we
reach it all the time,
however swearing we did
not. Only in these
understandings can we
perceive the real need
and cause of work.
As mentioned in question
540 of The Book of
Spirits, myriads of
animals work
incessantly, fulfilling
a determination, which
only they can carry out.
Within the scope of the
Universe, humans perform
tasks that only humans
can perform. Only humans
get the strength to deal
with raw material,
molding it and adjusting
it according to needs.
Breaking the pressure of
energy so condensed
requires strong arms and
tasks common to men.
This matter becomes free
and etherized, creating
less dense spaces.
Moreover, we humans
possess the gift of that
liberation. This is why
work makes us grow. He
gratifies us for the
action performed on
behalf of the Universe.
And so, we are also
etherealizing ourselves
in a fair and logical
continuum that will make
us free from matter, our
cocoon and temple, early
in our lives, according
to question 678 of The
Book of Spirits.
Now we are being invited
to work with Jesus in
His immense Work. We
hardly understand
anything about it. We
are still small recruits
trying to adapt. We come
from afar and each one
tells their story. Even
individually, we need to
adapt to new activities.
Well, it will not be of
much use to enter into
this work also bringing
our misfortunes and
personal positions. Once
a recruit, always a
soldier respecting his
superior, since he came
first and knows best.
This is the beginning of
working with Jesus. From
there, each one will be
used within what
constitutes talent
acquired by his previous
efforts. It is a new
stage, in this stage,
the new needs to be
loved, witnessed, and
adapted. Jesus' workers
are those who have
already overcome the
first stages of the work
and are now preparing
for improvements in
unknown terrain, but
whose main landmark is
the search for the path
to God.
There are Jesus workers
who impose rules on
their activities. These
are still on the
porches. They are given
smaller tasks that most
of the times tamper with
their small proposals.
There are conscious
workers, and there are
the omissives, the
braggarts, and the
slaves of ideologies,
those who fight for lost
causes, the slaves of
human fallacies, and the
bosses and so on, in a
constant swell of
misconceptions. However,
the Lord invited them;
and will give them time
for them to adjust. It
is a cycle, after which
will be evaluated,
whether admitted or not.
Here we quote the
Parable of the Wedding
Feast and the enigmatic
Bridal Tunic, necessary
to go on with the Lord.
Once a worker for Jesus,
one can no longer rely
on personal foundations
and dictate the rules of
his action. The worker
for Jesus must have all
his time dedicated to
Him because he knows
that the Lord will call
him only within his time
and within his
possibilities. The
Master will not ask the
baby to dictate an
advanced math formula,
as this baby sleeps and
feeds according to its
infant needs. The more
the baby grows, the more
will be asked of him.
Yes, we are very small
in Christian tasks and
those who do not
understand it like that,
pass like a bolide
without leaving any
marks. Desiring to
become a friend of
Jesus, -for that is how
He considers His helpers
- one must like oneself,
love oneself, and love
God and neighbor.
Dedicate all your hours
to good work, wherever
you are and with
whomever you are. It is
necessary to know how to
renounce to overcome
vices, creating virtues.
It is necessary to
understand that the time
of childhood has passed
and that our fallacies
do not always translate
divine truths. It is
necessary to know what
the will of the Father
is for each one. It
is necessary to be
faithful to this will.
It is necessary to leave
the finished standards
in the distance and
understand that
everything is defined in
advance and that we
always carry out within
these superior
definitions. Can I
transform something?
Yes, when I know how to
read the parameters of
life and put what is
outside on the tracks.
Now, if I insist on
walking along the
tracks, I will not be a
worker for Jesus. Just
an admirer of the Work.
This is too little.
Here is what we should
know. Here is what we
must transform in order
to achieve since before
we rigorously fulfilled
the divine dictates in
an instinctive way and
now it will have to be
in a rational way.
Everything in nature is
linked from the
primitive atom. It is
necessary to think of
the Archangel who
started with the atom.
