We can be doing anything, really, as long as we are taking in higher (for us) influences and provoking and extending our limits. Then what we 'do' is really just puppet-on-a-string stuff. Because no matter how serious you get about something a point is reached where you start thinking about a Diet Coke and Panini (or whatever your particular thing is). Or about going to sleep. Or about seeing that must-see game (or whatever). You write an essay getting to the foundational truth of everything and include practical knowledge about how to reach the supernatural, then you go get a drink and turn on some sporting event.
Mystics, even. They wake up. "Oh, God. Here I am still." Then they get involved in politics and get famous causing trouble. Nothing else to do.
There's nothing to do! (Maybe it's enough to introduce the average person to the very first levels of awakening - as they spit at you and call the police - because most people are, you know, where they are, in the average sense...)
Nevertheless, one can can engage higher influences and provoke and extend limits no matter what is going on or what we are 'doing'...

I may be missing something here in the current chaos of my present situation. The Bible says our motive should be to glorify God. Whatever we are doing. The Work says there are three lines of Work.
Maybe we are to do our part in making God's plan of redemption for the entire creation come to pass. But awakening ourselves is probably a big part of that. Evangelizing too, but we do that just being who we are, or can do that just with real presence and giving people an opportunity to see us change in real ways.
...
You know it is spelled out for us in the three lines of Work. Whatever mess we find ourselves having to deal with, so long as we can be sure we are working on those lines we are doing what we are meant to do. Ultimately, it all becomes the 3rd line, ultimately it is drawing towards that stage. We need to pull through as many as possible - this was clearly a part of what G was doing in Europe.
