The Great Work

The Great Work is the work of creating a playground paradise for the enjoyment of all.

Notes

The Great Work is about creating playgrounds for Spirit (see Song of Creation).

The Great Work is about bringing Consciousness to Ground (i.e.Ain Soph to Malkuth, God to Earth).

The Great Work includes:

• the cosmic work of creating the Physical Universe (completed almost instantly).
• the solar work of creating planetary systems and heavier elements (completed billions of years ago).
• the evolutionary work of creating a Physical Unit capable of fine-grain manipulation of physical matter (i.e. a Pinnacle Species).
• the engineering work of creating World Systems (i.e. technology and institutions) capable of supporting planetary utopia and Integration.

Contrary to what is typically taught, the Great Work is not an operation that we conduct on our "souls." The Great Work is not an [alchemy|"alchemical"] work of soul purification, not a karmic balancing of debt, and not an attempt to win "daddy's" good graces by proving just how "special" you are. Our souls, our monadic sparks, are already perfect and require no moral, evolutionary, or spiritual development at all. The Great Work is the work of evolving The Body to match the utopian intent of God.
