	History of Work Ethic
		Work was still perceived as punishment by God for man's original sin, but to this purely negative view was added the positive aspect of earnings which prevented one from being reliant on the charity of others for the physical needs of life (Tilgher, 1930).
		He believed that people could serve God through their work, that the professions were useful, that work was the universal base of society and the cause of differing social classes, and that a person should work diligently in their own occupation and should not try to change from the profession to which he was born.
		In the secularized attitudes which comprised the work ethic up until that time, a central component was the promise of psychological reward for efforts in one's work, but the factory system did little to support a sense of purpose or self-fulfillment for those who were on the assembly lines.

		The great work in speculative freemasonry - Freemason
		These works call for our serious study because their contents are directly related to that body of science and doctrine concerning human nature and its perfectibility, which the concealed Founders of the Craft system, subtly and under deep veils of phrasing, planted in the soil of Masonic ritual.
		The work for which the Craft was designed is described in the language of Alchemy as the "ERGON"-primary work; the work of natural science and the making of physical gold is but the "PARERGON"-secondary work.

	Spiral Nature - Magick - Kabbalah - The Great Work
		The term "The Great Work" is not a term to be found in the literature of traditional Kabbalah, but it is a term which has come to be associated with traditional Kabbalastic ideas.
		The Great Work is the attempt to undo the damage, and it consists of two parts.
		The exact nature of the Great Work is no simpler to explain than the problem of evil itself, and if one takes it to be the attempt to restore a defect in the creation, then its nature will depend on what one believes that defect to be.

	A Great Work
		WE do not know a great deal about Nehemiah, but we gather sufficient from the portion of Scripture that records his work to warrant us in saying that, he was a great and good man.
		The Lord, however, had a great work for this man to do, and he was being trained for high and difficult duties.
		There was a great work to be done, and this work must be done.

	Rafal T. Prinke - The Great Work in the Theatre of the World
		An additional clue is the fact that the work published together with the Fama (or rather, to which the Fama was appended) was The General Reformation of the Whole World which was a translation of a fragment from Ragguagli di Parnasso by Traiano Boccalini.
		The duration of the Great Work was often expressed symbolically as 12 days, 12 months or 12 years, so the 120 years in the case of the Rosicrucian self-transmutation or bringing oneself to the perfect state of the Philosophers' Stone is no surprise.
		On another level this can be seen as the Great Work going on in the Theatre of the World in order to obtain the Philosophers' Stone with which the General Transformation of the Whole World could be accomplished.

	Key to the Gnosis: Chapter 2 - The Great Work
		The so-called "Great Work" of the esoteric orders is at the heart of all serious esoteric endeavour in both the East and the West.
		And the "completion" of this Great Work is the supreme goal alluded to in the literature of many different esoteric schools of thought.
		Completing the Great Work in the world is seen as being the ultimate goal of the human species and, as we shall see, of the physical universe itself.

	Netmums Great Work Debate.
		Working part time is the most popular choice for mothers of young children, yet the survey suggests that there are difficulties for those looking for a new part time job and for those who want to change from full time to part time work for the same employer.
		By contrast, 62% of those working part-time were happy with their situation, but a third of those working part time would choose to spend all their time looking after their children if they could afford it.
		Of those surveyed, 64% were currently working, and 37% were looking after their children at home, either on maternity leave, or because they had chosen to be a 'stay at home' mum.

		This completion of the Great Work is unmistakable when it occurs, and you will feel positively giddy for at least a few days.
		The work of the circulation of the Light depends entirely on the backward flowing movement, so that the thoughts are gathered together in the place of the heavenly heart.
		When the energy-body of the child is fully formed, the Work must be so directed that the embryo is born and returns to emptiness.

	Consultant Pharmacist: February 1999 \| Great Work & You Can Get It
		A great area of concern, Rhoads notes, is the need to develop new mechanisms for reimbursing consultant pharmacists for their services.
		He admits that it is challenging for consultant pharmacists not only to follow up on the recommendations they have made, but also to measure the outcomes, such as gains or losses in quality of life and cost, associated with the acceptance or rejection of their recommendations.
		The rewards of such work include "simply observing patients' improved cognition when their psychoactive drug load is reduced," Cooper says, as well as adding to knowledge that helps reduce adverse consequences of drug therapy, prolong patients' lives, improve quality of life, and save money for the health care system.

		The Great Work (lat: Magnum Opus), within Thelema, is the process of attaining Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel and learning and accomplishing one's True Will.
		The term "great work" does not exist in classic Qabalistic texts such as the Zohar or Sepher Yetzirah.
		The classic Jewish Kabbalist is less concerned about the Great Work as a manifestation of "True Will" than he or she is as a part of bringing the world back to the state which the Creator intended.

		Within the tradition of the Great Work of alchemy is the idea that the initiations, explanations and rituals of alchemy are embedded into many great works of art.
		The great architects and artists, many of whom were alchemists themselves, had a very clear idea of what it was that they were attempting to transmit.
		He explains that this secret Great Work of human transformation was built in to these 'books of stone' that we call the Cathedrals during the medieval period of European history.

	Great Work - February 2006
		Great work is a place where impact and effect trumps over efficiency and process.
		Good work is often about “being efficient,” without ever asking, “Is this the right work to be efficient with?” Peter Drucker said: “Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.” In a year’s time, you won’t remember the good work you are doing.
		The goal is to remove bad work from your life, and increase the great work.

	Article info : 7 Keys to Building Great Work Teams
		One of the most common phrases heard in groups that work well together is "You can count on it." Members trust that when a colleague agrees to return a telephone call, read a report, talk to a customer, attend a meeting, or change a behavior, the job will be done.
		When work team members are truly cooperating, they respect the time of others by turning team priorities into personal priorities, arriving for meetings on time, sharing information promptly, clustering questions for people, communicating succinctly, and asking "Is this a good time?" before initiating interactions.
		Work teams manage conflict better when members learn to shift their paradigms (mindsets) about conflict in general, about other parties involved, and about their own ability to manage conflict.

	Jonathan Edwards: On the Great Awakening
		But this was remarkable, the work of God in His influences of this nature seemed to be almost wholly upon a new generation; those that were not come to years of discretion an that wonderful season nine years ago, children, or those that were then children.
		The former great outpouring of the spirit was remarkable for influences upon the minds of children, beyond all that had ever been before; but this far exceeded that.
		They were first led into the wilderness, and had a work of conviction, having much greater convictions of the sin of both nature and practice than ever before (though with some new circumstances, and something new in the kind of conviction) in some with great distress, beyond what they had felt before their first conversion.

	Introduction to The Great Work
		Once the student is able to attain a working comprehension of the meaning of these four, he has opened the door to the first of the Mysteries mentioned by the man from Nazareth.
		While a great many other terms are used in our texts and lessons, most of them are either synonyms of these four, various degrees of them or entities directly related to one or more of the four.
		We can either learn to work in harmony with it and prosper in every possible way, or we can live a life that is at odds with the Law in almost everything we do and reap the husks and noxious weeds of existence.

	Burt Humburg - On the Color Changes in the "Great Work"
		In other words, alchemists fabricated instructions to accomplish their goal of transmutation the "Great Work" as they thought it ought to be.
		Consequently, the "Great Work" of alchemy parallels the "Great Commission"; that is, perfecting metal parallels the perfecting of the soul.
		According to Cooper, fl (the first stage of the "Great Work") indicates neuter and symbolizes dissolution.[19] White is symbolically associated with the feminine, and red is symbolically associated with the masculine.[20] From the implied gender of colors, one would expect the process represented to be fl, white, then red.

		Those who want to believe they are involved in the Great Work but have little idea of just what that is. So they invent an idea.
		From this unfortunate situation has arisen the mistaken idea that the Great Work, amongst other things, is whatever one decides to accept it as.
		Be that as it may we can only reply that, in the least, we desire to present an understanding of the fact that this Work is not whatever you desire it to be, but instead, under certain conditions, a very definitie subject which can be calculated and measured.

	Thomas Berry's Earth Spirituality and the "Great Work," by Andrew Angyal, Spring 2003
		Berry's work offers both a conceptual framework for understanding how this western cultural estrangement has come about and a means of overcoming it through his new cosmology.
		Implicit in Berry's work is a reunification of science and religion through an "Earth Spirituality," an incarnational spirituality, an affirmation of the spiritual potential of matter, and a reflection of how we treat the material world.
		In The Great Work, Berry discusses the necessary reforms in all of these major institutions, but he has observed that the single most devastating document for the nonhuman world has been the American Constitution, with its exclusive emphasis on human rights (74).

	Alchemy: The Great Work
		But there was one big difference between the alchemists and modern chemists: The alchemists believed their own state of consciousness would somehow affect the final outcome of their experiments, that the purity of their own souls was a factor in perfecting the metals.
		For that reason, they worked as much on themselves as they did with their chemicals.
		The transmutation of these base metals into gold was the perfection of their personalities, and, as mystics, they meditated frequently, exposing their very souls to the processes of alchemy.
