Conclusions:
1) People seem unable to work from love, only from FEAR.
2) They live for a very poorly defined 'future'.
3) The bottom-line of the ego is, as if, self-serving.
4) Ego-man is a lie - and is always lying!
5) Must act CONSCIOUSLY in order to DO - from whatever the 'reservoir'.
6) Re-action, even for the 'good', is an impossible game - endless and exhausting. It is basically only GESTURE.

There is always an ’I’ and ’them’ or, at best, an ’us’ and ’them’. Struggle and competition is the name of the game. The usual Why of life is, take care of your own interests.

It’s most useful to listen, if you can REMEMBER YOURSELF at the same time, if you can BE - if you can observe how things affect your mind, emotions and body. To be aware of whether you are IDENTIFIED - or OBSERVING. Then it would be good to listen to everything, to your sisters and everyone. The Work says, ”you can do anything you want, if you remember yourself”. Because, with every effort there, you strengthen the remembering. The remembering is the SHMA, actually. That remembering has to be there at the moment of death. If not, you go to ’hell’, or at least for a time to ’purgatory’. At death ALL IDENTIFICATIONS get RIPPED from you.

All real Work demands observation, non-identification and re-membering. To slowly separate That which is Really You, from what you 'think' you are. To re-locate yourself, to go Home, to Remember Your Self. That is what Work is about.

Why can’t we REMEMBER OURSELVES? Why can’t we just BE? They say it’s a ’dangerous world’, so we’re always fearful. No matter what you do, it’s all fearful. That’s true. You can’t avoid it. A million things you never even thought of could happen. We struggle with a person, we struggle with a thought, we struggle with this or that fear. Now it’s reached the point in this world, certainly in your own life, that there are so many things that are fearful, that when you start thinking of one, it connects with them all. You CAN’T ’think’ about them all.
Everything is so mixed up. What can you think of for more than a few seconds? Does this make any sense to you? Who can think straight for more than a moment? That’s a fact, one of many facts.
You’ve got something else to do: self-observation, non-identification, Self-remembering. THAT’S REAL! You’ve got to learn how. That’s an INNER EFFORT. If you start practicing that, YOU DON’T HAVE THE TIME FOR ALL THE REST. And it’s really not so dangerous. You can worry yourself sick, but that doesn’t make more money come in. When you’ve got good energy, you do something. When you don’t, you don’t.

’Good friends’ tend to ’help’ each other with their WEAKNESSES, without realizing it. Not the principles of Work! The principles of Work are concerned with the building of a SOUL. Something that is already in you that can become strong enough to resist all the bullshit, the fear, the abuse, anything. To really come ALIVE within the HOLY TRIAD of non-critical self-observation, non-identification and Self-remembering. Those three things go together! They strengthen the REAL in a person at the expense of everything else. Until that becomes a reality, you are not worth shit to yourself or anyone else, regardless of what you think about your intelligence, your goodness, or your seriousness. Without that TRIAD you’re another bouncing ball with a self-image, changing all the time.

We can apply the laws of the 'Holy Triad' of non-critical self-observation, non-identification and Self-remembering. Without that we are totally under the sway of 'life influences'. There, it's all just 'happening' - and nobody knows nothing from nothing.

A Holy Triad: (1) Self-Remembering, (2) Self-Observation, and (3) Non-Identification! That gives you a chance to look, to be objective from your basic consciousness, which is basically you - and not just subject to the reactions of your centers. To be able to see from ‘who you really are’.

To the degree that you can work together, you might receive help. The Universe is waiting to help you, if you would just open to IT. To the degree that you can work together, you would ’call-up’ help. And God knows you need it. Everything in this Universe is ready to feed every other piece that has a common interest. If you care for the Whole, the Whole cares for you. If you don’t care for the Whole, the Whole doesn’t give a shit for you.

There is no alternative to self-initiated soul work.
My poem covers it:
You can not do for another person
what he must do for himself
(That part’s clear, been clear for a long time, and then the second part comes)
’that doesn’t mean at all my friend
that there’s no such thing as help.’
