Today I wish to draw upon a rather commonplace human experience to indicate the means whereby all of you in concert can be effective in promoting spiritual progress on this world and also to contribute significantly to your personal growth even while the environment you may be engaged in either hinders or simply does not contribute to progress, to upliftment. Many factors propel mankind forward; the obvious ones of comfort, protection, companionship, of power. One that has evolved in the course of your development is economy. While once economy simply was the trading of item for item based on value, it grew more complex, and now on your world not only do you produce for sale and purchase for ownership, you also invest; you become a participant in a business by way of stock ownership. In simpler times a business flourished if people purchased their goods or services. | Today I wish to draw upon a rather commonplace human experience to indicate the means whereby all of you in concert can be effective in promoting spiritual progress on this world and also to contribute significantly to your personal growth even while the environment you may be engaged in either hinders or simply does not contribute to progress, to upliftment.
