Influence

Who am I kidding? I'm a Work Christian. Can't start a movement. We Work Christians though, us alone individuals, can effect many, in our time and through time, by our efforts to awaken. Conscious influence is conscious influence, when it's real. If it's real it's real. One Work Christian can effect many people in direct contact with us and through time. Even hundreds and thousands. Maybe more. It's an incentive in itself.

That old 'third force' to help along effort which is knowing we aren't just working for ourselves. When you awaken it's like leaven in the time universe of your family and anybody else in contact with you and then everybody else in contact with them even going up through time into the realms of people no longer 'alive' (speaking in terms of recurrence). The leaven of the Pharisees is not good, but the leaven of conscious influence is good. And you don't know. You may be able to effect literally thousands or more. I mean, this is a kind of evangelization. I notice with Work what seems cut off by not being in the usual church mode is made available in higher ways...
