28:6.18 The universal economy is based on intake and output; throughout the eternal career you will never encounter monotony of inaction or stagnation of personality. Progress is made possible by inherent motion, advancement grows out of the divine capacity for action, and achievement is the child of imaginative adventure. But inherent in this capacity for achievement is the responsibility of ethics, the necessity for recognizing that the world and the universe are filled with a multitude of differing types of beings. All of this magnificent creation, including yourself, was not made just for you. This is not an egocentric universe. The Gods have decreed, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and said your Master Son, “He who would be greatest among you let him be server of all.”

Searching
It’s cooler now, but heat’s a comin’.
We live the now as it’s becomin’.
On the crest of our existence.
We find good paths when we’re persistent.

Persistent in our search for Truth.
The ways of Love are never rude.
Look for things that need be done.
Then work until the setting sun.

Once the Truth within is found,
Then it can spread to those around.
It has a ring that is Truth’s timbre.
It is the Truth not propaganda.

The Truth will stand the test of time.
Your inner Truth is what’s Divine.
Temporal truths sometimes will fade.
But inner Truth will always stay.

In your inner life you ask
What’s the best way through this task?
Sincerely looking for best ways.
Use your courage when dismayed.

Yes, sometimes we must use courage.
Faith in good we must encourage.
Faith does get me through my day.
It lights a pathway through dismay.

Thank You, Father, for this path.
Please forgive me for my past.
With sincerity of Spirit
I will speak with all who hear it.

71:4.17 Idealism can never survive on an evolving planet if the idealists in each generation permit themselves to be exterminated by the baser orders of humanity. And here is the great test of idealism: Can an advanced society maintain that military preparedness which renders it secure from all attack by its war-loving neighbors without yielding to the temptation to employ this military strength in offensive operations against other peoples for purposes of selfish gain or national aggrandizement? National survival demands preparedness, and religious idealism alone can prevent the prostitution of preparedness into aggression. Only love, brotherhood, can prevent the strong from oppressing the weak.

Love & War
A little warmer, yes, today
But very pleasant anyway.
A day to do most anything
And be prepared for what life brings.

A day to increase beauty’s grace.
Find beauty in the things you face.
Don’t deface, please just enhance.
Keep up your pace, and do God’s dance.

What’s the best thing you can do?
Do it today with follow-through!
Innately you know when you’re on
And dancing to our Father’s song.

Fan the flames of Faith with fervor!
Faith is what will take you further!
Faith in goodness being right
Gives direction to God’s light!

What be right, and what be wrong?
That’s a very human song.
Yet most know within their hearts
How love there had its first start.

When love’s first upon the scene,
It doesn’t take long before it’s seen
There is a way through war’s deceit.
Love’s the answer! – War’s defeat!

Thank You, Father, I know You
Have a plan with follow-through.
Though there’s war, we will achieve.
World lasting peace, hard to believe!

130:4.4 A one-eyed person can never hope to visualize depth of perspective. Neither can single-eyed material scientists nor single-eyed spiritual mystics and allegorists correctly visualize and adequately comprehend the true depths of universe reality. All true values of creature experience are concealed in depth of recognition.

Relation/Rumination
Once again, I wake to beauty.
Today we’re going to Boogie-Woogie.
Many things to do on tap.
We’ll fit in today, we will adapt.

Adapting to new ways of life.
Getting older causes strife.
Slowly, slowly, aging bones
Do their job, but with more groans.

Accept the fact that we won’t last.
Time is slow, we don’t fade fast.
Relentlessly, we age and slow.
It’s just the way our bodies go.

That perspective, it is not youth.
Youth develops till grown is truth.
But once grown, we go downhill.
Some are prolonged with cosmic pills.

Sooner or later, we all face
An end to how we use Your grace.
How it ends for each of us
Shows how we believe, and how we trust.

I believe we do go on.
We have a purpose in God’s song.
We can avoid, and take control
Of how we die, and become our souls.

But if we take the aging way
We find that life is but a play.
We’re on the stage with lines to speak
And then we find the lives we seek.

Thank You, Father, I’m aware
Of Your presence in me there.
There I live, and You can see.
I pray I am refined in Ye.
