The only distinction in labor is between consciousness and senselessness.

III, vi, 14.  The only distinction in labor is between consciousness and senselessness.  It is necessary to discern also the difference in age of the spirit.  One can identify a recent spirit as compared with an old spirit by noting the difference in striving.  A recent spirit does not have the deep perceptions that are inculcated by the experience of many lives, but often it has less egotism and is more adaptable to evolution.  -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1925  

..................
168.   It is particularly necessary to watch the sparks of our consciousness.  Even when a body is almost invisible the lightning of thought nevertheless flashes, and on the point of this lightning is life and death.  -M:  Community 1926 
........
327.   Silence has many delicate voices, and to observe their rhythm means to come closer to the subtle realm. But in studying silence it is instructive to recognize the dissonance of each physical intrusion.
482.  Even primitive teachings gave an important significance to vibrations; thus when thinking of the heart, let us unfailingly remember the powerful healing through vibrations.
577.  Neither wind nor the purification of the air help where the very energy of evil builds a seeming funnel but of course beneficence offers relief.  -M:  Heart 1932
.........
438.  Desperation is bad, but there is another measure of extreme intensity which is necessary for attainment. Externally it can almost be identified with the limit of despair, but in essence they will be opposites.  Despair is destructive, but the extreme limit of tension is constructive.
-M:  Aum 1936
..........
330.  It would seem that at present observations ought to be deepened, but in fact it proves to be almost the opposite.  People are attempting to justify themselves by the complexity of life, but it is more accurate to explain this as aimless dispersion of thinking--the more should one repeat about the art of thinking.  If it be not sufficiently developed in schools, then the family must come to its assistance.  One should not allow man to become scatter-brained, that is to say, irresponsible.  -M:  Brotherhood 1937
.........
67.  It is not possible to demonstrate to an earthly understanding the broad dispersion of Our co-workers. They can be found in many different places, even in opposing camps, and can be found on both sides in a battle.  One cannot explain such contradiction to an earthly consciousness, but Our abode does not act in accordance with earthly laws.  A broadened consciousness can understand that there are ties beyond earthly laws.   -M:  Supermundane 1, 1938
