I will also tell you a secret. We have to will one another: this is the beginning of conscious love.

Everything you do consciously is preserved for you: everything you do mechanically, since you did not do it, is lost.

The central conception of Man in the Gospels is that he is an unfinished creation capable of reaching a higher level by a definite evolution which must begin by his own efforts.

How then can we change being? By applying the knowledge of the Work through self-observation to ourselves. And remember that you do not change by being told what to do. You only change through seeing what you have to do when you realize what your being is like.

The Work is something living in our hearts and minds. Follow the path, see what changes take place within you, and what light begins to dawn in you.

Humanity is regarded as unfinished, incomplete, imperfect. We have the possibility of completing ourselves, perfecting ourselves, and all that is necessary for this lies in us.

I will also tell you a secret. We have to will one another: this is the beginning of conscious love.
