聽神談【關於「靈魂的工作」和「神的工作」】
靈魂的工作是促使我們去選擇那偉大 ——選擇你最高版本的「你是誰」——而不譴責你沒選擇的。你的靈魂尋求那最高的感受。它尋求去體驗——去成為(be)——完美的愛。
靈魂即完美的愛——它知道這一點。然而它希望它不只是知道那完美的愛。它希望在其經驗裡成為那完美的愛。

「靈魂的工作」是喚醒你自己。「神的工作」是喚醒每一個人。(The work of the soul is to wake yourself up. The work of God is to wake everybody else up.)
你們能以兩種方式做「神的工作」——藉由提醒他們他們是誰（但這非常困難，因為他們不會相信你），和藉由憶起你是誰(by remembering Who You Are)（這比較容易得多，因為你並不需要他們的相信，只需要你自己相信）。持續不斷地展現這點，終究會提醒別人他們是誰，因為他們會在你身上看到他們自己。
這世界將需要許多人的心結合在一起做「靈魂的工作」，並且準備去做「神的工作」。(This world will need many hearts joined together in the work of the soul, and prepared to do the work of God.)
但宣告自己為一個屬神的人(a man of God)需要很大的勇氣。
摘自《與神對話 I 》第8章
The job of the soul, of course, is to cause us to choose the grandeur—to select the best of Who You Are—without condemning that which you do not select.
Your soul seeks the highest feeling. It seeks to experience—to be—perfect love.
It is perfect love—and it knows this. Yet it wishes to do more than know it. It wishes to be it in its experience.
The work of the soul is to wake yourself up. The work of God is to wake everybody else up.
This you can do in two ways—by reminding them of Who They Are (very difficult, because they will not believe you), and by remembering Who You Are (much easier, because you do not need their belief, only your own). Demonstrating this constantly ultimately reminds others of Who They Are, for they will see themselves in you.
This world will need many hearts joined together in the work of the soul, and prepared to do the work of God.
It takes great courage to announce oneself as a man of God.
