Translations:Sacred labor/8/en

In the Essene community at Qumran, an example of the community of the Holy Spirit, each man’s sacred labor was held in reverence by all. Each man and woman, as an initiate of the Christ, was required to gain mastery in the planes of Matter by fulfilling the mandates of a particular calling, trade or profession. This became not only his contribution to the community, but also the means for the perfectionment of his soul. Thus in every age the sacred labor provides the means whereby the soul can balance the threefold flame and pass the tests of the seven rays in practice as well in theory.
