The seventh task is to enlighten by one's own person. Someone with it explains not so much through words as through the way they live: people copy them, and copy without realising it.

That imposes a responsibility the other tasks do not know. Such a person's habits spread through the people around them: the useful ones and the harmful ones with equal ease. They end up at the centre of attention even when they are not seeking it.

Professionally the task is carried out through passing on experience: teaching, mentoring, explaining the techniques the person has mastered themselves.

The key here is honesty. A gap between what the person says and how they live devalues the seventh task faster than any other.

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.*
