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.
