The twenty-second task is the last, and it takes into itself all the previous ones: a person with it is free to choose any profession at all, there are no restrictions.

Its own part, however, is the upbringing of children. The difference from the third task is substantial: that one sets the child on professional rails, this one is concerned with the kind of person the child will grow into.

That is why what matters here is not instruction but presence: how much time the person spends with the children and what they see beside them day after day.

The task is carried out not through a result that can be produced and shown, but through what those who were beside this person grew up to be.

Social task — purpose and profession

Social task = DT + MT + GT

The social task is what, in this system, a person came for. Not a post and not a profession in itself, but the direction in which their effort has meaning.

What matters here is the movement itself. As long as a person is moving towards their task, they are collected and engaged; a halt is felt as the loss of a footing, even when everything looks well from the outside.

The system notes two dead ends. The first — when a person has gone so far from the task that the earlier plan has stopped working and life effectively begins again, often in an entirely different field. The second — when the goal has been reached and the person decides there is nowhere further to go; by this logic what was achieved was a step, not a summit.

DT, MT and GT are steps towards that same task, and there is no need to pass through them in order: one can concentrate on the task directly. The task is most easily carried out through a profession — but it does not reduce to one.

The system connects a person's physical well-being to this as well: it holds that movement towards one's own task sustains a person, while a long departure from it tells on their health over time.

*This is a tenet of the teaching, not a medical claim. The causes of ill health are established by a doctor, and the calculation does not suggest putting off seeing one.*
