34:6.11 The Spirit never drives, only leads. If you are a willing learner, if you want to 
attain spirit levels and reach divine heights, if you sincerely desire to reach the eternal 
goal, then the divine Spirit will gently and lovingly lead you along the pathway of sonship 
and spiritual progress. Every step you take must be one of willingness, intelligent and 
cheerful co-operation. The domination of the Spirit is never tainted with coercion nor 
compromised by compulsion.

Life’s Path

It seems like fall, not wintertime.

The weather is by God’s design.
He controls all things involved.
He helps us see how to evolve.

We’ve learned to tame the wintertime.
With fire and wood, we do design
Structures that are weatherproof.
And through the years we do improve.

Now we use more brick and metal.
We’re all connected via cable.
We know when and where there’s trouble.
We can react then, on the double.

We’ve come so far in how we live,
But can we learn to share and give?
Can we survive without more war?
We need to look within our core!

If we’d all take the time to look,
And read more of our sacred books,
I know we would advance ourselves.
God’s within us, there He dwells.

To learn the Spirit way of things—
Truly joy is what that brings.
Deep inside a Spirit shines.
It tries to show us what’s Divine.

Thank you, Father, deep within.
You know exactly where I’ve been.
i’ll advance within Your Spirit.
It is my goal to truly hear it!

132:2.5 Goodness is always growing toward new levels of the increasing liberty of moral 
self-realization and spiritual personality attainment – the discovery of, and 
identification with, the indwelling Adjuster. An experience is good when it heightens the appreciation 
of beauty, augments the moral will, enhances the discernment of truth, enlarges the capacity to 
love and serve one’s fellows, exalts the spiritual ideals, and unifies the supreme human motives of 
time with the eternal plans of the indwelling Adjuster, all of which lead directly to an increased 
desire to do the Father’s will, thereby fostering the divine passion to find God and to be more like 
him..

Beauty Can Lead

The beauty of the day begins.
Beauty starts somewhere within.
Beauty’s in beholders eyes.
First we see and then apprise.

To look for beauty’s the first step.
We often get what we expect.
Have faith your loved, things do work out.
God’s love is there without a doubt!

The best for all His universe.
That is His way, chapter and verse.
To Him, I’m sure, it makes best sense.
Get in His flow, right now, repent!

Improving as one’s life goes on.
Finding ways before we’re gone.
To make good things around you happen.
Life on earth is what we fashion.

We all contribute as we live.
We all give something, yes we give
What can you do, yes, right now?
Are you the one with the knowhow?

Courage to step up and do
The things you truly know how to.
To know yourself and not to freeze.
You can do as you believe!

Thank You, Father, we’ll become
More like You, we’ve just begun.
Every day we do decide.
We become the things we try.

66:7.15&16 Hap presented the early races with a moral law. This code was known as 
“The Father’s Way” and consisted of the following seven commands:

1. You shall not fear nor serve any God but the Father of all.
2. You shall not disobey the Father’s Son, the world’s ruler, nor show disrespect to his 
superhuman associates.
3. You shall not speak a lie when called before the judges of the people.
4. You shall not kill men, women, or children.
5. You shall not steal your neighbor’s goods or cattle.
6. You shall not touch your friend’s wife.
7. You shall not show disrespect to your parents or to the elders of the tribe.
This was the law of Dalamatia for almost three hundred thousand years. And many of the stones 
on which this law was inscribed now lie beneath the waters off the shores of Mesopotamia and 
Persia. It became the custom to hold one of these commands in mind for each day of the week, 
using it for salutations and mealtime thanksgiving.

Thank You

Good morning, Father, a day of thanks.
We’re going to fill our energy banks.
A day to feast with gathered guests.
I pray love fills all of our nests.

With love on board to pass around
A festive day with love resounds.
Families gather, share their goods.
The table set for brotherhood.

A time that’s special to this land.
We started something truly grand.
The pilgrims showed how they survived
Cooperating with the Indian tribes.

They learn from those who were indigenous.
Everybody has some genius.
They shared a meal of celebration.
Traditions formed in this great nation.

The Holiday season now takes off.
With black Friday we get lost.
The season’s made for all our Faiths.
With different days we celebrate.

A truly special time of year.
We all get filled with Holiday cheer.
Time to hold all loved ones near.
And thank the Lord that we are here.

Thank You, Father, for this day.
And as we gather, we all pray
For Your Peace within our hearts.
Love for all is what must start!

Seasons and temperature variations occur on all sunlighted and sun-heated planets. Agriculture is universal on all atmospheric worlds; tilling the soil is the one pursuit that is common to the advancing races of all such planets.

Shorter Ways

The shorter days of winter come.

We have less time to get things done.

The winter solstice’s, a month away.

The shorter days affect our play.

Until the solstice, days get shorter.

Sunspots might affect your router.

The sun just shines, we stay in orbit.

The way we tilt has been recorded.

The way we tilt accounts for seasons.

Weather patterns have their reasons.

We tilt away in winter time

And towards the sun in summertime.

“Easy Peezy” it may seem.

For years and years, we were off beam.

The world was flat, that’s what we thought.

For many years our way was lost.

Our understanding is time based.

We live and die with the years we’re graced.

Our time on earth is truly short.

Blips of experience we can report.

A time perspective we do lack.

But we can change, we do react.

But even when we do enact,

We cannot see long-term impacts!

Someday we’ll have longer lives.

But as that happens, we must thrive.

Record-keeping helps us see

The course of time’s reality.

Thank You, Father, for this time.

To look inside’s an act Divine

As we live, we learn more truth.

The inner way is our pursuit!

Advancing Love

Cold and rainy all day long.

No snow as yet, cold’s not that strong.

But every day we do get closer.

Winter days won’t lack composure.

The cold may make us all seem stiff.

Hard to move through life‘s snow drifts.

But when we use our minds and shovel

Our days go on, because were humble.

A humble approach to find our God,

Will yield success when that way’s trod.

God reveals himself to you

When you humbly search for truth.

When your ego plays a role

Ego dignity takes its toll.

An ego chief who is in charge

Cannot see as he gets too large.

He cannot see as he grows tall

Too much involved or he may fall.

He must worry about himself.

A humble man plays cards he’s dealt.

So with my humble hat in hand

I pray to God, I don’t demand.

God knows best, I understand.

I will learn, His Will is grand!

Thank You, Father, what I see

Is advancing Love through history.

Our direction overall

Is what’s best, I hear Your call.

65:7.6 The acquisition of the potential of the ability to learn from experience marks the beginning of the functioning of the adjutant spirits, and they function from the lowliest minds of primitive and invisible existences up to the highest types in the evolutionary scale of human beings. They are the source and pattern for the otherwise more or less mysterious behavior and incompletely understood quick reactions of mind to the material environment. Long must these faithful and always dependable influences carry forward their preliminary ministry before the animal mind attains the human levels of spirit receptivity.

Learning The Spirit

A sunny day but in the 50s.
The weather is really pretty nifty.
The cooler temps do stimulate.
There’re things to do we contemplate.

Planning helps with things we do.
An action plan helps us pull through.
Planning helps the coming day.
It truly helps to plan your play.

Practice also helps us be.
It helps us see reality.
To practice what you want to do,
Helps perfect what is your truth.

Decide how you can help your God.
Cooperate and you’ll evolve.
God within will show the way.
Keep the faith when things seem gray.

Never lose your faith in God.
He’s with you on the paths you trod.
God will help when all seems lost.
Discover how their hearts defrost.

As we evolve, we will become
More like the God, we learn to strum
And play His music as we live.
The loving notes are His to give.

Thank You, Father, for Your notes.
I’ll spend some time, yes I’ll devote
Time and energy to Your cause.
I wish to learn Your Spirit laws.

107:5.2 Since Adjusters can plan, work, and love, they must have powers of selfhood which are commensurate with mind. They are possessed of unlimited ability to communicate with each other, that is, all forms of Monitors above the first or virgin groups. As to the nature and purport of their intercommunications, we can reveal very little, for we do not know. And we further know that they must be minded in some manner else they could never be personalized.
Go With God
A cooler day, but not a freeze.
A day to rake some golden leaves.
Pile them up in mounds and hills.
Them bag them up so they don’t spill.

Uncover ground, uncover green,
Then seed the ground with summer dreams.
Flowers grow from tiny seeds.
Give them a chance against the weeds.

Plan ahead, then do the work.
If you don’t know, then read a book.
Experts can be found with wisdom.
Believe with Faith, and use good reason.

Thinking does require some effort.
As you think, become more expert.
Your mind’s a tool, so use it well.
Remember, God there does indwell.

Let God adjust what e’er you see.
Use Faith and Trust, and you will be
A tool for God’s reality.
You will gain more, as God decrees.

We all must face our given plights.
We all are given certain rights.
Life’s a battle, it’s a fight.
Let God be with you on this hike.

Thank You, Father, for being there.
The path ahead I’m going to share.
Life becomes much more a joy
As all Your Love I do deploy.

70:2.9 War has had a certain evolutionary and selective value, but like slavery, it must sometime be abandoned as civilization slowly advances. Olden wars promoted travel and cultural intercourse; these ends are now better served by modern methods of transport and communication. Olden wars strengthened nations, but modern struggles disrupt civilized culture. Ancient warfare resulted in the decimation of inferior peoples; the net result of modern conflict is the selective destruction of the best human stocks. Early wars promoted organization and efficiency, but these have now become the aims of modern industry. During past ages war was a social ferment which pushed civilization forward; this result is now better attained by ambition and invention. Ancient warfare supported the concept of a God of battles, but modern man has been told that God is love. War has served many valuable purposes in the past, it has been an indispensable scaffolding in the building of civilization, but it is rapidly becoming culturally bankrupt – incapable of producing dividends of social gain in any way commensurate with the terrible losses attendant upon its invocation.

Wars Will End

Today I’ll join my voice with others—

With my sisters and my brothers.

From the balcony we’ll sing.

Together truth will truly ring.

We’ll sing the songs that bring us cheer.

Inside we know that God is near

We sing out, the people hear.

Inside, God builds, we are sincere.

As we follow God inside

His purpose helps us all decide

How we truly want to be.

This world united, we decree!

Someday, perhaps, not too far off

This world unites, please do not scoff.

One God who spreads his love to all

Will unite us though we brawl.

Wars are common on this planet.

We blow up buildings made of granite.

We try to kill all those opposed.

Our love inside though truly grows.

The acts of wars give us unrest.

There’s something wrong within our breast.

No longer do we beat our chests.

Peace amongst us gives us rest.

Thank You, Father, you know best.

I know this world will pass the test.

Time it takes, but not forever.

In the future we’re together.

61:7.11 100,000 years ago, during the retreat of the last glacier, the vast polar ice sheets began to form, and the center of ice accumulation moved considerably northward. And as long as the polar regions continue to be covered with ice, it is hardly possible for another glacial age to occur, regardless of future land elevations or modification of ocean currents.

World Change
The warmest year we’ve ever had.
With less winter, it’s not bad.
Stronger storms, I guess there’ll be.
A warming trend is what we see.

Naysayers helped us all deny
When there were ways that we could try.
When all the ice melts on this earth
We’ll see how much we are immersed.

If all the ice melts at the poles
Another ice age may unfold.
The world will balance what’s been done.
If ice comes back, will that be fun?

The future is not known by me
And yet it comes relentlessly.
Every day that I wake up
Another chance, my Faith erupts.

Gods in charge, thank God for that.
He’ll help us all face all the facts.
If you think you know it all
Prepare to change, please hear God’s call.

Constant change we all must face.
Resilient, yes, this human race.
Altogether we can win.
We will combine, it’s in the wind.

Thank You, Father, future times
Will come as You have Truth designed.
I pray all souls look deep inside
And find Your Love, it won’t divide!

44:7.3 Cosmic concepts of true philosophy, the portrayal of celestial artistry, or the mortal attempt to depict the human recognition of divine beauty can never be truly satisfying if such attempted creature progression is ununified. These expressions of the divine urge within the evolving creature may be intellectually true, emotionally beautiful, and spiritually good; but the real soul of expression is absent unless these realities of truth, meanings of beauty, and values of goodness are unified in the life experience of the artisan, the scientist, or the philosopher.

Find Your Path

The beauty of the autumn weather

Is truly fleeting, it’s a treasure.

The temp does rise above the norm

And now’s the time to harvest corn.

Outside work must now be done

Shorter days with setting suns.

Invigorated by the season?

Make your life one with God's mission.

God has got a plan for you.

Look for it in all you do.

Do what’s best in every case—

Loving kindness with God’s Grace.

Every job upon the earth

Has a way to put God first.

Let God lead you deep within.

Your path ahead will vanquish sin.

God will not require of you 

Anything you cannot do.

He knows your courage yet will test.

In every case just do your best!

We’re not perfect on this planet.

Stubborn minds are running rampant.

Visionaries, we put down.

We say their ideas are not sound.

A God of Love, we tend to spurn.

A warlike God is what we’ve learned.

Very few do look inside

And find where love there does reside.

Thank You, Father, now’s the time

To find Your plan that is Divine.

Things work out when open minds

Find God’s Love is more than kind.
