Ultimately...the Work and Christianity whole

I now see it's better to see the Work as sacramental.

The wine of the Work, the two conscious shocks, are sacramental. They are what baptism with fire and partaking in Jesus' (our Forerunner's) suffering (what's called the Lord's Supper) are. Conscious labor, intentional suffering.

(Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:) I don't need to find a verse connecting the Lord's Supper with intentional suffering because we emulate Jesus when we become one with Jesus. That 'eating' is what is obviously that point of the second conscious shock where we eat, so to speak, our suffering, and in that connect with Real I which gives access to the room where Jesus is.

Getting there is in the realm of the effort of progressive sanctification; but being there is sacramental.

This connects the Third State with worship. Which is the God-centeredness the Third State is missing when practiced in a secular void.

Of course this will take place, in this world, in a realm of spiritual warfare. Needed friction though.

Seeing the Work as the two conscious shocks - the product, or the wine - rather than the effort is helpful. See it as sacramental rather than than merely the effort of progressive sanctification is also helpful. This brings together the Work and Christianity into a contained and pure whole. And, according to biblical doctrine, we strengthen our covenant connectedness with God by sacraments. - C.

ps- It is beyond consideration that the church level, all branches, differ about the sacraments. They all differ. Even the most biblical of theologians differ. To see the two sacraments as the two conscious shocks is to be given very deep knowledge. Once you connect it with Federal Theology and the Covenants in the Bible you begin to see that great fantasy novel, or quest novel, that I've mentioned in the past as a description of the plan of God. Standing on the Covenant of Redemption as your Magna Carta, your Law, your legal standing. With the Kingdom of Satan currently flying around all about you.
