Translations:Sacred labor/11/en
By the sacred labor, men and women realize their potential to be the Christ in action as well as in contemplation. Through the sacred labor, students perfect certain skills necessary to the mastery of an aspect of time and space, that they might ultimately learn the mastery of self. Trained in the things of the Spirit, students of Summit University go forth to lead balanced lives (whether they marry and raise families or remain celibate) and become responsible members of the world community. Thus they are able to relate to the now of earthly existence, to the needs of family, friends, and neighbors, all the while pursuing the goal of the ascension and helping others to follow the true teachings of Christ as defined by the ascended masters.
