101:2.1 The fact of religion consists wholly in the religious experience of rational and average human beings. And this is the only sense in which religion can ever be regarded as scientific or even psychological. The proof that revelation is revelation is this same fact of human experience: the fact that revelation does synthesize the apparently divergent sciences of nature and the theology of religion into a consistent and logical universe philosophy, a co-ordinated and unbroken explanation of both science and religion, thus creating a harmony of mind and satisfaction of spirit which answers in human experience those questionings of the mortal mind which craves to know how the Infinite works out his will and plans in matter, with minds, and on spirit.

Know How
A string of hot days in a row
Promote a lack of water flow.
Desert like, the ground becomes
And only worse till the rain comes.

But sunny days help to promote
Good times of social plans of note.
So many things done in the sun.
That’s why the summer’s so much fun.

Balance, balance will be achieved.
But wide fluctuations are now received.
I hope these wide swings settle down.
We need some rain within our ground!

But though catastrophe may be,
We will exist, and we will see
Wiser ways to help us all.
The swings of progress, sometimes stall.

But swings of progress never stop.
Time goes forward, the now’s on top.
The now is where the shifts in weather
Provide those numbers we can measure.

We now have years of many records.
We have set so many standards.
When deviations do occur,
They stand out brightly, not demure.

Thank You, Father, we must learn.
From the data that we discern.
Change is something in the now.
I have faith in our know how!

81:6.37&38 13. Effective and wise leadership. In civilization much, very much, depends on an enthusiastic and effective load-pulling spirit. Ten men are of little more value than one in lifting a great load unless they lift together – all at the same moment. And such teamwork – social co-operation – is dependent on leadership. The cultural civilizations of the past and the present have been based upon the intelligent co-operation of the citizenry with wise and progressive leaders; and until man evolves to higher levels, civilization will continue to be dependent on wise and vigorousleadership.
High civilizations are born of the sagacious correlation of material wealth, intellectual greatness, moral worth, social cleverness, and cosmic insight.

Faith in Numbers
Migrants coming to our shores.
Fleeing conditions they abhor.
What to do when there’s no room?
Peace on earth can’t be too soon!

Tides of people, what to do?
We need a plan, then follow through.
All the good land has been taken.
We need more space from lands forsaken.

High-rise buildings help to use
The space we have if we so choose.
I think The Chinese built their space.
With empty structures, they are graced.

Too bad this world is not united.
Too bad we were led by selfish minded.
Sometime, someplace, someway, somehow
An altruist will lend know how.

Every day a new day dawns
We’re closer to eternity’s song.
Faith and knowing are separate things.
With faith reward’s a Spirit thing.

With living faith, you tap into
An energy source inside of you.
No matter what mistakes you’ve made.
Have the faith, you made the grade.

It’s easier when you’ve tried your best.
Without that effort, your faith is less.
Thank You, Father, I’ll employ.
All my being to find Your joy!
