Arriving at the completion of their lifes work

" ........When a person arrives at the completion of their life's work, no matter how grand, it is all a masterpiece of foolishness....."
Now I think I am falsely inferring what what implied, or maybe not. Previously the poster stated that their Great Work had been accomplished, completed.
This life work, was/ is the Great Work that human beings are attempting to discern and utilize for their attainment and self actualization.
So, can you be finished with it? Completed it, turned it in, got graded ect....like in school and then you get to play on the playground....sort of thing.....??????
I had always believed that it was not at all something like that,
That it was more like, well
Finding your souls groove, and then dancing to it,Or finding the best pallette of colors, and then painting with it,
Or finding the right partner and then loving them,
And that it wasn't like earning enough cash to pay for a GT mustang.
Or Getting enough Vacation days to take a year off of work,Metaphorically of course,
Several times in my life I have really been in a good groove with what I was doing, think, feeling, and at those moments I knew I had attained perfect harmony with everything. And I can now look back and say, yes, doing that was part of my Great Work, and in doing that it brought me to this, which is also part.....
If a mother thought her Great Work, was in giving. Birth, then what will happen to that poor baby, who will not get mothered, because she had already done the best thing she can do?

But I have to agree with P.S.: Those who undertake this remain a distinct minority, a small percentave of the overall population.

Is it too late to retract my statement? Hmm?
Jim, you are good. Thanks.
Namaste

To quote John Lennon:
"I am He as you are He as you are me and We are All Together.""Again you are assuming I am implying one person is better than another. I'm not. Just stating the facts.
Sometimes you have to read between the lines.
Your idea that I am driven to egotism is only there because your mind works that way, so you think everyone's does. Mine doesn't.And no, I'm not sorry for being less eloquent than you demand. I could've used a different choice of words like "the non-adept" "the non-magician", but I just figured most people would catch my drift.
Earlier in my life I would thank you, and use your reaction to try and learn to be more eloquent with my words in the future, but see, I'm not trying to teach anybody anything, I'm just having fun. You should try and have fun too, rather than insulting my intelligence, if you don't understand the words I write, just reply asking what exactly I meant, then I'd be glad to express more clearly for you. -

"Not trying to teach, huh? Then what is the purpose of this post to me? If it's not instruction? Am I supposed to study it? Fun fun fun, she'll have fun until her daddy takes her T-bird away.
Edit:
No... No. You are right. One of the most pernicious things regarding people is the application of one's mindset onto another. You are most right about my cynical attitude in pertaining to one's intent. I shall need to work on that. I apologize to you PriorySoul. Namaste. -

In regards to:

Consider...
"10. Let my servants be few & secret: they shall rule the many & the known."
...and the implications such.

"However, I don't think you ever finish, per se. "The normal average common person doesn't finish the Great Work."
From the earlier quote from One Star In Sight, "The Ipsissimus is pre-eminently the Master of all modes of existence; that is, his being is entirely free from internal or external necessity. His work is to destroy all tendencies to construct or to cancel such necessities." Emphasis added.
I believe that the nature of this world is such that one either works (i.e. continues applying effort/actively retaining focus of some kind), or one does not...and in the latter case atrophy then has some effect.

I am very glad I asked for clarification on this, because I now have a much deeper grasp of these terms, True will, Great work, K& C and HGA.
I thank you all for your insights and sharing....
I have to sit with this for a few, and cam physically tell that this information has shifted something....
I think though that I like the idea that this Great Work is layers, and that you can stop, or go, but at anytime, you are different because of it.
I recall after a specific shift took place in me as a teen, I was physically different. And all my girlfriends noticed that I wasn't the same any more, and that they couldn't stand to be around me, because I wasnt Veronica any more.
Humph.

seekinghga,
I care about people like you, I am just trying to love you, obeying the magnetism of your attention.boading,
my angel had showed me a vision of the future, revealing I would write a book and build a church and do many amazing things I had trouble believing at the time, each eventually came true, and I have documented these prophecies and miracles, in the service of mankind. I've simply nothing left to prove.Veronica, I appreciate your sentiments.
Very much so.I am still keen on raising the baby.
Very keen. -

"Completing my True Will, my life's mission, and pleasing Adonai and mine Angel."
Maybe you missed these words of Crowley's:
"...for the True Will has no goal; its nature being To Go."
A tree will be known by its fruits. Many are those who purport a harvest of golden apples; these, however, cannot be eaten and provide no sustainence for men.
"My HGA gave to me a job to do by handing over to me certain wisdom yet unheard by the world, "
Unheard-of wisdom? Funny, because all I've seen thus far is mere regurgitation of dogma and rhetoric.
Observe:
"There seems to be much misunderstanding about True Will ... The fact of a person being a gentleman is as much an ineluctable factor as any possible spiritual experience; in fact, it is possible, even probable, that a man may be misled by the enthusiasm of an illumination, and if he should find apparent conflict between his spiritual duty and his duty to honour, it is almost sure evidence that a trap is being laid for him and he should unhesitatingly stick to the course which ordinary decency indicates ... I wish to say definitely, once and for all, that people who do not understand and accept this position have utterly failed to grasp the fundamental principles of the Law of Thelema. "
