Discussion of a range of factors that support or prevent accomplishment in our lives. Faith in possibility vs the limitations imposed by the blindness of the practical physical intelligence; moving from lower to higher levels of consciousness in action or work raised the power and effectiveness; stages in shifting from ego to reliance on mother like stages in shedding the innumerable layers of an onion skin -- shift the motive of work from desire to self-giving and offering the fruits to the divine; reliance on my capacities, my preferences, my attitudes, opinions and beliefs vs reliance on Mother; being the sense of the doer vs the instrument; my response after the work of pride and self-satisfaction vs humility and gratitude. Aspiration generates the energy and intensity, rejection purifies the action of our lower nature surrender offers the action and its results to the divine.
