Work

The event of that angel is still with me. Mostly his urging me to continue the Work.

I've been reading a book by J. G. Bennett called Transformation. I've always considered Bennett one of the more shallow representatives of Work knowledge, but in this book he mentions things that sync up with my own experience. 

Basically where he states that eventually we get into a stage where we find our own defining model of Work. For me, my strong Christian faith and experience coupled with the real effects of the two conscious shocks, or conscious labor, intentional suffering. 

Of course, also, my accent is on Christian faith because without it one will just be the most awake person in hell. So, spiritual warfare oriented faith, with Work knowledge and practice as means to progressive sanctification. That is really the summit and beyond summit level. To the summit, and the rugged path beyond the summit.

If I'm objective I can see how where I've arrived is similar to other destinations, because I have to admit I'm not at the church, or churchian, level, so other Christians see me as some sort of weird gnostic. I'm a staid Calvinist, but I'd be kicked out of his church most likely. Or not want to join. Yet where I'm at is solid foundation nevertheless. I'm a real, true Christian. 

Where Bennett sticks with the Sufi stuff and the Subub, and so on to me that is just lack of full development. Or he's seeing elements of those things as valuable, OK. But it's still parts and not the whole. 

Again, my dad (rather bizarrely) validated Work teaching for me on his deathbed. Spoke 'from the other side.' Spoke clearly of recurrence. In life he didn't know the Work or Work sources. I've gone over it, but it was so truly strange it bears repeating.

I experience that, I get saved in the ocean by a 'dolphin', I have encounters with angels, as the mundane world pulses it's grinding, banal seeming deadness all around us. There's more going on. Enoch was translated without dying. We're at the mysteries.
