TOMAS: Are you going to win points for an [[organization]] or for your fellow man? or are you going to serve? It is a matter of what master you serve, what kingdom you [[support]]. The kingdoms of men permeate the lives of many if not all of my [[students]] and has tremendous hold over them. I am not putting down these [[values]] for they are the hallmark of [[civilization]]: the [[home]], the [[church]], the workplace, and all that is [[noble]] and [[good]] in an evolving civilization. For them to serve in their arena is good. For those who feel the call to go beyond the [[traditional]], to go into the mayhem, muck and mire of the [[poor]] and maimed is also [[good]].

In order to serve in either arena, however, it is [[necessary]] that you have your [[self]] well [[prepared]] for the [[work]] at hand. In order for you to not [[become]] lost in the ills of those you serve, you must have the [[strength]] and [[stamina]] of a [[soldier]] and you become a soldier by knowing yourself. Knowing yourself, your capacities, your [[strengths]], your [[weaknesses]], it is then possible for you to ascertain your capacity to serve in whatever realm or arena that you feel drawn to serve. We need more workers in the field. Always [[pray]] for more workers in the field. Whether it be the [[pastoral]] field of wheat and corn next door or the field of mud and rotten potatoes downwind, we need more workers in the field.

Hunnah: You've given us a lot to think about. I have to write down these [[questions]] that act like mushrooms here, because as you do talk, many things come to [[mind]] and Gerdean's been very [[patient]]. It's like opening a whole new area. Let me tell you about a quick example here.

And there's a [[book]] Joel . .. it's like you don't do it. You [[awaken]] to the [[fact]] that you give up that role you've been playing, and see it from new [[perspective]]. And I've been very, very [[grateful]] for that. That's been like a lifeline for me. And I've looked back at various times in my life and I was [[surprised]] that I was able to pull it together tonight for this [[discussion]]. Thank you.

TOMAS: Thank you for your [[testimony]] that in walking into the arena as a [[child of God]] and in spreading your [[light]] by being, you have indeed brought your own [[God-consciousness]] to the [[hungry]]. I will close the session with a [[mota]]: "Life is but a day's work; do it well." Good evening, and [[farewell]], my little beetles.
