The work is important for the work is all a part of the [[growth]] of the [[Almighty Supreme|Almighty Supremacy]] which is developing in the [[Supreme Being]]. Ultimately, all meaningful work is part of the [[growth]] of the [[Supreme]]. What does that mean, my friends? All meaningful work contributes to the [[actualization]] of the finite God of [[experience]], God the Supreme. In the Supreme are we all [[connected]] and united and we [[glimpse]] this at times when we have a truly good [[partnership]] or, in a larger [[context]], good teamwork with others. We sense there is something greater than just the [[meaning]] we give to our individual lives when we, together, accomplish a greater [[goal]]. Yes, I tell you, there is greater [[meaning]]. It is all very important. Nothing that we do that is good is forgotten or lost.

While you must define work in your [[cultures]] as [[efforts]] which help sustain your lives with food on the table, we have a much larger [[meaning]] to the word in universe usage. There is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_of_labor division of labor] on the [[morontia worlds]]. It is not simply one grand tourist fling. Your work will be arduous but joyful, important but not [[boring]], exciting but not [[exhausting]]. It will be what you look forward to from day to day with every bit as much enthusiasm as you now greet your days of leisure. I realize that for many people their work is the [[love]] of their life. But for those of you who have not felt that [[satisfaction]], I am telling you, you will [[experience]] it! It shall be your possession someday.

Now all of this does not have to wait for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Preacher_and_the_Slave pie in the sky], bye and bye. Indeed, I [[desire]] to convey to you the [[idea]] that work as defined by [[service]] is your [[calling]] despite whether you are "[[retired]]" or not. [[Service]] to other people is your [[calling]]. It is the [[Godlike]] way to behave. It is the work of [[the Father within]] who gives you the [[energy]], the [[purpose]], and the [[joy]] in serving other people. It must come from an overflow, this service; it cannot be [[manufactured]] or generated out of either [[guilt]] or [[duty]]. The service that I am referring to, which we have spoken of often in [[this mission]], is a great [[pleasure]]. It is a natural overflow and outlet of your [[personality]]. This is why we are always so joyous to be with you on these evenings when you gather together, for it pleasures me to the greatest extent to sit in your midst and [[share]] my [[passion]] and my [[understanding]] with you. I now am going to allow a new speaker a few moments to address you. One moment please.

Tanare(Bill): I am Tanare. Yes, I am Gwen's teacher, present with you at Daniel's invitation. I will be allowed, as are my [[companions]] and [[peers]], time on occasion to address you.I am not as familiar with this [[transmitting]]/receiving [[process]] for I am relatively new to [[Urantia]], having come here from afar, from a system on the other side of our universe of [[Nebadon]]. I have been associated with what you would consider to be "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_medicine natural healing medicine]". I struggle for the right [[word]]...not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturopathy naturopath], but holistic mind/body/soul connected [[experience]] with [[energy]] transmission, nutritional [[balance]], mental stresses, many of these sorts of things and uniting them in people in such a way as to effect [[healing]]. I apologize for the clumsiness of my [[words]]. I hope that you can [[understand]] what I am intending to say.

So, therefore, as I come to [[this mission]], and to this, my charge, I bring with me these [[experiences]] and am offering to you all, when it would be appropriate, further consultation, [[interaction]], and [[training]], perhaps, with this that I can [[share]]. I [[hope]] that this little bit of background will assist you in getting a feel for my person. Of course, I send my special and warm greetings to my Gwen, who will, I am [[confident]], become more and more familiar with me. I want to thank you all for allowing me this time. Good evening.
