How Can We Know Whether the Creator is Good or Merely Manipulative in an Evolutionary Sense? BECAUSE, from the human and physical standpoint, all we have to do is look around, and Beauty EXISTS; Love exists. And it all had to come from Somebody Else.

... ... ...

Compiled over a period of nine years, condensed and edited for simplicity and brevity, these writings "came to me" while I was on the internet talking to people about God. You can take them or leave them; but they have led me to see God's Goodness, Whole-ness and Compassion.

This is part of an anthology of entries into my personal Journal that God has moved me to make. They are completely subjective; and they are my own struggles to make sense of human life, nothing more and nothing less.

I leave it to your judgment, whether to accept or reject what I have written down.

5338 -- WOMEN OF THE SACRED HEART

God's "women of the sacred heart" point the way to fulfillment of promises and Covenants Yahveh made and makes:

• that the planet will be stewarded competently [the Adamic Covenant]
• that all the nations will bless and educate themselves by means of the children of God [the Abramic Covenant]
• that what's Law-FULL is what is commonsense, workable and Just [the Mosaic Covenant]
• that Blind Justice is worse than Chaos [the Covenant of Grace]
• and that those ruining the Earth will--in their turn--get ruined and dispersed [Christ's covenant with the Churches in Revelation].

5339 -- Alpha the Holy Spirit prefigures the "Professional Woman"--

People don't realize that the name Alpha, as in the Alpha and the Omega, is Feminine. Alpha is a Spirit-Entity part of the Trinity, and a Person, begotten of Yahveh.

Yahveh has both Masculine and Feminine characteristics; thus, it fell to Alpha to be Feminine--that is, to occupy a negatively-polarized, doubt-full, open Will, but enjoying a positively-polarized dominant Mind, somewhat the opposite of Yahveh Himself.

In this respect, Alpha is a full complement of Yahveh, although She only occupies the Cosmic and Subjective Dimensions, but not the Physical nor Objective Dimensions in which humanity dwells.

Alpha is suited to asking the question, "Well, how much >IS< there, that has materialized?" And so She parses what is True out of all Subjective experiences and informs Her Father.

Alpha's Role in Yahveh's Order is parsing Physical Truth from Subjective Truth--what has manifest out of what has not yet manifested, so Physical Truth, what is Holy, known; what is Sacred, known; what is Active, known; and what is Necessary, known. It was She who inspired the Course in Miracles.

Alpha's Truth serves to illumine the Path that God's Will takes, to Joy. She is given to Feminine Thoughts and Roles and Hopes when not focused on Truth, and She wanted you to know that there is no relinquishment of Integrity or Being Whole by the activity of Working at a godly Devotion whole-Souled.

The Trinity steers this Planet toward Galactic Citizenship because Alpha points the way and Yahveh steers the Rudder, but there is no looking back and no regrets over lacking what you term "Freedom."

There will be Time Sufficient for THAT--for Alpha--when the work of the Omega--the Christ--and the Will of God are Done. So be it. Amen.

5342 -- Mary, the Mother of Yeshua is the Devotional Mother of the Church--

She prefigures all submissiive and obedient women who have devoted their lives to doing good, inside and outside organized religion; to the Ministry of Miracles, to the Ministry of Rosary Meditations, and Ministries of the Poor, the Convents and Hospitals for the Poor.

Mary's investiture into idol-worship comes with the recognition She deals with the most primitive races and cultures in humanity at this time, and only in that realization, that primitive women do not respond to abstractions.

5344 -- Shechainah the Consort of Yahveh long ago-- Fragmented and removed from contact with God--

Moving Her Spirit, she gathers Herself together to respond with Joy and Realization that Chaos is Necessary, Good and Appropriate for this Good Planet at this time, to undo founts of Evil.

Yea, the time for Shechainah to break Her chains of confinement in Hell is come; and Her Daughters hearing Her Voice now necessarily , known.

Moving Her Spirit, she gathers Herself together to respond with Joy and Realization that Chaos is Necessary, Good and Appropriate for this Good Planet.

Yea, the time for Shechainah to break Her chains of confinement in Hell is come; and Her Daughters hear Her Voice and come to Awareness--in Wicca.

This---Gaia---Her Beloved beautiful world now nearly corrupted and polluted to death, will be cleared once more. This segment of Teachings is for Women who have borne Evil and borne Trouble and borne Heartache for the sake of the children and for the sake of love and for the sake of Mercy.

The Sacred Woman--A Vision of Shechainah's Rest

Shechainah is the Form of God Whose Will splintered and incarnated into millions and billions of human spirits. She never articulated doctrine, because speaking of Her Own needs has never been upon Her til now.

Shechainah's Rest is always a form of motion; yet it was thought She was a form of obstruction, not movement. Because She is very Involved all the time, She likes just to move in a repetitive motion during Her Rest--to balance high in the air or twirl herself around while she visualizes a New thought or a New future. Her idea of Resting is ice skating or dancing or taking a walk. Or, She gets things 'settled down' by moving to clean out a closet or a room.

The established Sabbath is not the time Shechainah rests, although She can be Involved with Yahveh's rest on the Sabbath. Her Time of rest is when everyone else is asleep, out of Her way.

The pace of life on this planet is killing the planet and killing the peoples' souls, is what Shechainah says. Fragments of Shechainah all share certain commonalities in terms of their Gifts and Problems.

"She" will stick with an appropriate Role as long as it is safe to do so; but when a Role demeans and demands more than She can bear, a Fragment of Shechainah defaults and dissipates. In this way, she has diminished and diminished Herself until Her Spirit is like the grains of sand on the beach. At this point, only the Ancient of Days can restore Shechainah to Her former Glory and Praise--as a Renewed Aeonian.

Spirits and angels may prefer to keep buzzing like bees, but souls of Yahveh's and Shechainah's fragments are heavily immobilized, overwhelmed and overburdened with demands and expectations. Responsible spirits delegate indiscriminately, as if everybody were the same; and in so doing, they violate the principle of Diversity. Why not let Freedom Ring for Everyone, even the spirits of God? [as Shechainah spoke it, 11/20/95]

Defeating and Forgetting a Culture IS A Form of Blasphemy

ELEMENTS OF WAR--

Anger can become collective. But it always fails at its Aim: Control.

Forgetting that people are people is NOT JUST living a form of Lie.

It is Blasphemy against Life itself.

In the past, War was a Tool to Cull and Limit Lawlessness.

He Who Had Dominion Bred and Culled at Will.

Love abides with what's Lovable; but it Limits Chaos.

Initiating the Culling Process belongs with God--NOT by men's authority.

Abiding belongs to Every person, high or low. TODAY--

The Form of Composure that is Acceptable to God is the Form which says--

"Thy Will be done." The Kingdom of God is the Will of God--in which

Exclusion is the capital penalty; and shunning is the Lawful practice.

The Bible was a Book of Wars because this has been an Aeon of Active Doubt.

Your Future will see yet one More War to come. Just this One is Left.

We are getting you Ready for this Last War: to make sure--

Never again will War make Sense in the Good Thoughts of the People

5432 -- Ten Teachings of a Socialized Culture

• The Goals of Experience are strength-training and Well-Being . Thoughts and Actions aimed at Fear, Disgust, Lust, Contempt, Disruption, Violence and Domination need to be channeled (ergo, "taken with a grain of salt"); and Actions which favor Conciliation, Cooperation, Confrontation, Justice, Fairness, and Due Process must be the operating principles in force. Peace is an Effect and not a Cause. Peace will come after People have dealt with their own personal Issues. Making choices needs to become a well-polished Process.

  This Teaching means that personal, small-group, and national decision-making processes must become more self-conscious, more articulate, and more informal so that "process" does not dominate over "expected outcome."

  Throw out Robert's Rules of Order; learn the Quaker Way, conflict mapping so people can see problems. Then consensus agreements that leave no one feeling left out. No limits need to be placed on nations' Political consent process. Whether a nation governs itself by monarchy, hierarchy, theocracy, democracy, republic, or benign dictator is not the issue. The issue is whether people all have a say in their own lives.

• Thread together a Life based on sincerely-held beliefs -- not technology-driven dogma. This Teaching means that impersonality, regulation for the sake of regulation and mechanization are wrong and bad. In their place we must reestablish respect for the rhythms and spaces of human life. This teaching does not limit any particular technology except as it affects people whom it touches. The people who have been touched by cancer, diabetes, heart disease, lung disease and immune diseases [due to pollution or chemicals] need to examine their lifestyles and locate and eliminate commercial sources of their suffering.

  Much disease is based on obsessions and toxicity. So, deal with it. It is also fundamental to the use of personal space and time. All animals have innate sense of personal space and rhythms of Activity. Modern life must demonstrate respect for diversity in human natures, and must not reduce all peoples to a single common denominator called "Normal.

• Face one's Place with an Open Mind and Heart. This planet's gift is biogenetic diversity. Those who don't fit in need to move on. People crammed into forty-hour work weeks who gain no capacity for Joy or Hope under such conditions are ripe for disease and disaster. Zoning regulations (drafted for convenience and profit of local good ole boy networks) create nightmares for families.
• Give way to every other person's time and space, especially that of the Children. The Role that each human Spirit must be able to face and commit to is Freedom. What is true is that Freedom itself must present novel and uncomfortable options, uncertain risks and difficult consequences, or all men might as well remain chained to their beds. When all freedom is removed from human roles on this Planet, we might as well revert our Gaia to Medieval lock-step roles. Her domain as school of experience is gone.
• Make way to Freedom of speech and association. These "freedoms" are useless if people have no time to talk to their families or read the Sunday funnies. Free Enterprise is a sham if there are FEW who experience Freedom to operate from respect for the rhythms and spaces of a truly human life. When all workers do is drive and work and drive and shop and drive and get things done; and others can't get work to save their souls or fill the bellies of their children, this is not living. The excuse that some people just don't want to work is just another way of saying that work has become intolerable to deal with. Just ask anyone who works behind the counter at a fast-food restaurant whether he feels he's free or not.
• Make the right of each person to control 200-sq ft of space of their own (no restrictions, no mortgage, no taxes) fundamental to freedom. Foxes have free dens and birds have make free nests; and people need to cooperatively build their own homes, without money and without cost. Then they have a vested interest in who they are, not only in where they happen to sleep. The Universe is wondering why Earth's peoples are choosing such heavy burdens for themselves, and why our laws make so little human sense.
• Let each community cultivate its own options and opportunities. An Economy operates because people work to build, process, support, serve, create, embellish, or tool things which are needed, or beautiful, or both. Even sophisticated technology can be developed and devised in garages and basements, staffed by local friends, and run by entrepreneurial wizards.

  Now that scientists have articulated basic concepts for technology, such knowledge must not be lost. We claim our technology when we create our own niche, our own market, our own miracle process, our own skills. Economies run at the local--not national or conglomerate -- level. Let "dinosaurs" go bust so every person can have his or her own home business.

• Adapt Speech and Goals to Diversity, not to an Expectation of Uniformity. What "everybody" does DOESN'T MATTER, so long as Everybody is HARMLESS. It makes no sense that all newscasters have to have accent-less voices. It makes no sense that people are being replaced by computer speech-recognition when in fact people are literally dying to have human interaction and fellowship. It makes no sense to dump cheap imported merchandise in national markets, and put local artisans and businesses out of work. It makes no sense to teach all the children the same set of skills (many of which they have no inclination to learn and no clear goal in sight).

  In order to respect ourselves, we must respect whole persons. This means that everyone we meet must have a place, a story to tell, some roles in life, some hopes and dreams. What needs to be able to happen is that people should have opportunities to be diverse in all the ways that Diversity can BE. We who are enlightened CAN sense how to direct others utilizing Acceptance and Tact.

  The idea that Government and business simply make rules, and everybody follows them is tyrannical. Each of us is a child of God; and each of us expects to be able to direct our own soul. That's what freedom is, consenting to experience, with God's Help. Realize no one has the sovereign right to direct anyone else's Will. One may guide, suggest, implore, reason, correct, or even plead, but we do not have the sovereign right to tell even one other person exactly what to do. The people who can cooperate with bureaucracy, do. Others need other options.

• Regulate each one our own On-going Practices. We physically are what we practice eating (not what we treat ourselves with occasionally); our character is what we practice doing. If we are pre-occupied with correcting and perfecting our own practices, then we have less time to judge others' performance.

  Grasp the Consequences of Making Judgments. Judgments produce expectations, which in turn produce predictions; and predicting others' behavior has a power to it which can distort others' actual performance, and we call this ability to skew other peoples' behavior, The Pygmalion Effect.

  Hating another is a habit that consumes the person who carries it around. Let us relive Yeshua's words in the book of Matthew. If someone offends you, go to that one and bare his sin. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. If he does not listen to you, go get another person to go back with you and tell your story again. If he still does not listen to you, then go to your Community and try to energize them to help you work things out [but not to indict]. In this way, we free our minds of guilt that accompanies strife and turmoil. When we practice forgiveness, we are forgiven in return.

• Work at what you are inclined to do, not just for advantage or gain. Simplicity means people working to meet their material needs and laboring at skills and techniques find joy in the work they do. Force is not an issue, and neither is "settling for" boring, stultifying or uncomfortable labor. This principle implies moving away from today's workplace and doing something else.

Participating in Truth-telling has Effects : Harmonizing What's Physical,

Guiding Choices, Harmonizing Values and Responding Appropriately to Discovery.

ELEMENTS OF TRUTH

Participating with Others puts one's Own Truth to the test.

Handling what comes up or someone brings up until some Mastery is achieved

puts one's Own Integrity to a test of effort, feedback response and tact.

Relating to Others and Exchanging mutual Discoveries puts Knowledge to the test.

Feeling how Life feels, and Articulating one's feelings puts Clarity to the test.

Intending and permitting mutual Awareness puts Society's Norms to the test.

The Role of Speaking Out when a Problem Arises puts Political Systems to the test.

FURTHER QUOTATIONS--

"All these divisions we see on all sides, all these disputes and opposition, are caused because men cling to ritual and outward observances, and forget the simple, underlying truth. It is the outward practices of religion that are so different, and it is they that cause disputes and enmity--while the reality is always the same, and one.

"The reality is the Truth, and Truth has no division. Truth is God's Guidance, it is the light of the world, it is love, it is mercy. These attributes of truth are also human virtues inspired by the Holy Spirit." Baha'is Prophet--- Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, pp. 120-1.

"The Holy Spirit, seeing where you are but knowing you are elsewhere, begins His lesson in simplicity with the fundamental teaching that truth is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the end the only one. Simplicity is very difficult for twisted minds. Consider all the distortions you have made of nothing; all the strange forms and feelings and actions and reactions. Nothing is so alien to you as the simple truth, and nothing are you less inclined to listen to. The contrast between what is true and what is not is perfectly apparent, yet you do not see it. The simple and the obvious are not apparent to those who would make palaces and royal robes of nothing, believing they are kings with golden crowns because of them.

"Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot come." Course in Miracles, Text, p 272, par 2.

"Spiritual Truth finds its lodgment in all sorts of unexpected places, and in all sorts of unexpected ways.

The man of God, when most depressed by the buffets of a world steeped in selfishness, sees a glorious vision: Hidden spiritual forces work for him, make known the truth in marvellous ways, and proclaim the Goodness and Judgment of God." The Quran, Sura LXXII, C. 252, p. 1624.

"Moses replied: 'I am as all good men who speak truth; all that is good, and all truth, are Jehovih's words. In a rose He findeth expression i perfume; in the lightening His words are thunder; in a bird His words are songs; but in man, His voice is in man's words; for every living creature, and every dead thing on the earth, or in the qwaters, or in the air above the earth, giveth expression in its own way; because the Father's hand is the foundation of all that is good and true. He is the I Am Who sent me to thee; by His command open I my mouth before thee. And in His name declare I unto thee thou shalt not only suffer my people to depart out of Egupt, but thou shalt send thy armies to drive them out." OAHSPE, Book of the Arc of Bon, Ch. 17, v. 16, p. 521.

"God is the first truth and the last fact; therefore does all truth take origin in him, while all facts exist relative to him. God is absolute truth. As truth one may know God, but to understand--to explain--God, one must explore the fact of the universe of universes. The vast gulf between the experience of the truth of God and ignorance as to the fact of God can be bridged only by living faith. Reason alone cannot achieve harmony between infinite truth and universal fact." The Urantia Book, Foundations of Religious Faith, 6, p. 1125, par. 1.

3330 -- * T R I N I T Y * in Function--

The Role of each Fragment, of each Individual SOUL in this Galaxy, is sacred.

Likewise, each Member of the Trinity serves in a different Role and in a different Capacity.

Yahveh's Role is to adopt Holy Opportunities to evolve Peoples and the Planet. This Book is One Such opportunity. It was Yahveh who inspired Oahspe and that work also.

Alpha, The Holy Spirit's, Role as Firstborn in the Heavens is to Find Out what IS physical and what IS not physical. Her Perspective is, that Honoring one's Center and Reckoning Truth are Tools that work in the Present and for the Future.

Simple Faith is no longer sensed as Solely-Useful because it derives more Certainty than Leaders can deal with. Omega-The-Son's Role is the work of judging Simple Faith communities, adopting doctrines that serve to clean up our polluted planet, investing in peoples' attachments to doctrines and certainties, upholding those who are poor and lacking. It was Omega who inspired The Urantia Book.

Shechainah's belief-system teaches only to disrupt that which needs disruption; therefore, "She" is now empowered to disrupt all mankind who are killing the planet; disrupt authorities who mechanize human families; disrupt the medical establishment for its waste and abuse of human life in the name of 'Research'.

22.56---"She" is committed to promoting ALL viable forms--not just the popular and pleasing. "She" is comfortable dealing with Diverse Humankind, but what she has no acceptance for is obsolete forms, policies, rules, laws, and structures that which inhibit Diversity, inhibit her ability to Adapt, to Change, to Grow.

33/66---"She" invests heavily in being Composed and Articulate, and she usually can cut people to pieces verbally. She easily exposes the fears of others; and for that reason she makes enemies everywhere she goes. This Gift has the Purpose of preserving What is Viable, and Disrupting What is Disruptive; but people don't understand, and they avoid her.

44/76---Shechainah progresses everything that progresses Everybody, as if Everybody lived in one Hive; and She disrupts everything that disrupts Everybody as if it were Her Business to do so--which it is.

55/86---"She" has her own Vision of What is Possible; when that is challenged unduly, She retreats.

66/96---"She" works diligently to pick out the ways and means to Live; this is because she fears Being Put Back, Being De-Evolved, Being Put Down.

77/06---"She" is easily attached to Certainty whenever She can Sense Yahveh's Will. She works relentlessly for His Will and Purpose regardless of others' input, perspectives, judgments, or opinion. As a result, she appears to be intractable; but what is true is, "She" is being Faithful to God's Vision rather than to Her Own.

88/16---Shechainah has learned how to live a healthy Lifestyle; but if She finds herself in Default or Incompletion, She dies with a broken heart.

99/26---Although "She" adopts Clarity [Truth] as Her Tool, when Obsessed and Frustrated, Shechainah becomes muddled, lost and self-destructive. If you see yourself in this profile, perhaps you too are a fragment of Shechainah.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TRINITY
99 99--God transcends the Wisdom of every point-of-view.
99 79--He is BEYOND Wisdom because He encompasses Experiences.
79 49--Experiences ONLY convey Wisdom, not Glory.
49 19--Moreover, admiring experiences themselves
19 59--always leads to frustration with outcomes.

Alpha and Omega participate in the Trinity with YHVH.

They challenge and trust Each Other.

Each attaches to different gifts, different goals, and different ways of thinking.

Yet They cooperate and participate fully Together, to evolve, acquire, reckon, reason and organize This Planet, these peoples, this solar system, and ALL this galaxy's inhabited planets.

When HALF the inhabitants of this Planet have adopted the Holy Law of Moses, then abundant power will become visible; then space travel will become a reality for Christian communities who seek new frontiers.

Not before.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GODHEAD
80 80--Strength is in relationships.
80 50--Love is by design.
50 20--The approach of love
20 00--is a sufficient
00 99--frame, to preserve
98 97--and convey what is Sacred.
96 95--What people acquire must be honed.
94 93--Activities, to persist in Time,
92 91--must confront the thoughts that sent them out.
90 89--Strength increases
88 87--as Leadership becomes realized.
86 85--Points-of-view can initiate change,
84 83--only if their processes are competent to do so.
82 81--Everyone must know and agree, what is forbidden.

The Godhead consists of 50 ascended humans who died with their Perspectives of Integrity intact. They progress to New Levels of Understanding, and move on; and new Ascenders are moved into their Places.

The Godhead relates only to This Planet; each Planet has Its Own Godhead that gradually attrits and is replenished by Those having Experience in the Material and the Subjective Dimensions.

There are no quotations surrounding the Godhead and the Trinity which articulate their Domains of Experience with this Clarity, so None are listed here.

Holographic Being

THE SOVEREIGN CONVENES JUDGMENT DAY: Judging what is adopted, conveyed and reckoned.

Exercising Sovereignty in the United States at the turn of the Third Millennium after Christ is problematic at best. People who can exercise dominion over their own lives, in terms of mobility, glut and/or access and influence are few.

Holy Books use the words sovereignty and dominion interchangeably, yet their scope is quite different.

The King James Bible does not utilize the word, sovereignty. What is says about Dominion comes from some of these quotes:

"And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck." Gen 27:40: ('the upper hand').

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou has made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou has put all things under his feet." Ps. 8:4-5:

"And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation." Dan 4:34

"Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. ... For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under grace. ... Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?" Rom 6:9,14; 7:1: ('other dominions')

"Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever." Rev 1:5-6

In The Course in Miracles, the whole Material World is subsumed under Subjective Experience. No validity for Cause and Effect is posited; no physical effects are seen as Real.

"The world we see merely reflects our own internal frame of reference--the dominant ideas, wishes and emotions in our minds. 'Projection makes perception' [Text, p 445]. We look inside first, decide the kind of world we want to see and then project that world outside, making it the truth as we see it. We make it true by our interpretations of what it is we are seeing." [Preface, page xi.]

In the Quran, God ["Allah"] is seen as controlling everything, to the most minute detail. "To God belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth; and God hath power over all things. ... "[S. III. 189].

"God's Creation is not haphazard. Everything goes by law, proportion, and measure. Everything has its appointed time, place, and occasion, as also its definite limitation. Nothing happens but according to His Plan, and every deed, word, and thought of man has its fullest consequences,except insofar as the Grace or Mercy of God intervenes, and that is according to law and plan. [LIV. 49 note].

The Urantia Book does not deal with dominion; but it has a great deal to say about sovereignty: where the buck stops.

"With divine selflessness, consummate generosity, the Universal Father relinquishes authority and delegates power, but he is still primal; his hand is on the mighty level of the circumstances of the universal realms; he has reserved all final decisions and unerringly wields the all-powerful veto scepter of his eternal purpose with unchallengeable authority over the welfare and destiny of the outstretched, whirling, and ever-circling creation. The sovereignty of God is unlimited; it is the fundamental fact of all creation. The universe was not inevitable. The universe is not an accident, neither is it self-existent. The universe is a work of creation and is therefore wholly subject to the will of the Creator." Paper 3.6, page 52, par 4.

And again:

"You cannot have equality among religions (religious liberty) without having religious wars unless all religions consent to the transfer of all religious sovereignty to some superhuman level, to God himself. The kindgom of heaven in the hearts of men will create religious unity (not necessarily uniformity) because any and all religious groups composed of such religious believers will be free from all notions of ecclesiastical authority-- religious sovereignty. God is spirit, and God gives a fragment of his spirit self to dwell in the heart of man. Spiritually, all men are equal.

"The kingdom of heaven is free from castes, classes, social levels, and economic groups. You are all brethren." Paper 134.4, page 1487.

The Book of Mormon does not deal with either Sovereignty or Dominion directly.

This is what YHVH said to me about sovereignty: -- "What My having sovereignty means is that I choose effects to keep or to discard. The function of Sovereignty is not merely choosing Which families to incarnate or which kings to persist; it is choosing the Experiences that All Mankind will Enjoy or Suffer. "What is sufficient for this planet is what is sacred and holy. What is abundant is relationships and discovering what has value. Becoming strong is an effect of experience with the Law and what It obtains.

"Providing testimony to your beliefs is a form of cooperating with God. The role you get is the one you must stand for and Smile with your Friends. Adapt to changes in your life; get moving. If you count on God, what arises to meet you will permit you to take a turn.

"Discipline is always a trade-off. So, Focus on your own Mastery, for in that lies your Joy. What is Sacred is that Peoples are Diverse; therefore, what is Holy for different Peoples IS THEY will retain Autonomy ONLY IF NO single planetary Government is ever formed. What is Sacred is that peoples must attach to their own thoughts. Therefore, what is Holy is that political realities be undone so freedom of thought is again possible.

"What is Active is that peoples are engaging in technology; Therefore, what becomes Holy is that Technology must be controlled--for Good--at the subjective Level: by public opinion, by boycott, by consensus, by opting out.

What is Sacred is that peoples prefer mates of any gender who spiritually attune. Moreover, specifying one's gender before maturity is impossible. Therefore, families will continue to break apart; and the effect of this outcome is that the children will all feel cheated and they will distrust and hate their parents.

"Over an extended period of time, the effect of this outcome will be to discourage cooperative thinking with Angels. And this is good, until--Angels begin to learn about Sovereignty, the knowledge of which they presently lack.

"I will continue to select experiences so long as My Will holds sovereignty over this Planet. What gives me the Right to Sovereignty is Progenitors' Law which states: "One aeonian just is sovereign over a planet." ... "This is My Planet," is what your experience comprises.

"What is Real is that I, YHVH, visit this Planet from time to time. Although I can hear all your Prayers and Thoughts from anywhere in the Galaxy, I only return at stated intervals [millennium]. This is one such stated interval.

'The Farmer has returned to find his Farm in Ruins, and the Foremen [angels] have walked off the job; they now teach their own Doctrines. This is Fine, so that I may create My own adapptations."

6789 -- S E L E C T I N G * T H E * W I L L * O F * G O D

People who sacrifice Themselves [at maturity] are a Great Blessing to God.

All the work of the Church is done by people who sacrifice themselves for God.

Sometimes the work is Good; sometimes it is Bad.

But the Sacrifice of Time and Effort Stands in Good Stead, no matter the Feelings that Arise or come to be associated with it.

The fact is, everybody who makes a Sacrifice cries about it later.

And they try every which way, to get out of it again. But this is of no matter.

God is Faithful; and He patiently teaches His People how to live with their Vows.

Life is NEVER comfortable, least of all for God.

His Portion is to listen to the Suffering of All the People, and to Stand Helpless before it.

Thus, the Gifts in Men who come to Him offering Help become His Hands and His Fingers.

These are Gifts which are not used lightly, nor turned aside easily.

Prophets have historically arisen from among the people who sin and are experiencing Karma [suffering and disease].

Prophets are not called where the people have no desire for Clarity.

Lacking Clarity and Truth is also a Choice.

The reason God sends prophets into the world is to instruct the People how to relieve their bad outcomes.

THAT is the Clarity that Peoples want.

People chosen as prophets are Those who are willing to End Suffering by Understanding the Experiences of Suffering [which they also experience].

That is why an up-and-coming Prophet is always labelled a Sinner because he or she has a reputation for dealing with sinful behavior.

The difference is, the Prophet--due to God's Intervention--is now dealing with issues--which behaviors reap misery, which behaviors reap Happiness.

On this new basis, the Prophet's old personality--that was sinful and unhappy--is now transformed sufficiently to teach Others the Way to New Life.

So it is with the person to whom these Lessons were given.

6790 -- S E L E C T I N G * H A P P I N E S S

The people who get happiness are the ones who Select Chastity.

Chastity, working from cause and effect, produces good outcomes.

People who live with good outcomes have little need for prophecy because all their needs are met.

People who do not select Chastity, do not get happiness, because Karma is working and they get back ten times what they sow in deeds.

Thus it is that people suffer, because they've been left with the idea that Chastity is irrelevant or stupid or silly.

Relieving bad outcomes comes with redemption, faith and charity; but without chastity the peoples' lives continue broken.

Although things may be eased somewhat by effects of the other virtues, Repentence, to work completely, must include chastity.

The fact is, chastity is not understood with any clarity.

"Glamorization of sin" working against chastity serves to strengthen resistance of the Good, to sin.

7632 -- RECOGNIZING JUSTICE AND EXERCISING JUST JUDGMENTS

809--"Judging for Justice" DEMANDS DETECTING WHAT PERSISTS--

Good or Bad Effects in the lives of the people observed and assessed.

908--Effects follow as they are conferred and conveyed by relationships among family members of a person under suspicion.

898--The question must arise, whether what essentially is being conveyed by and endowed by the entire family, if anything.

888--Leading questions must uncover and unmask what is TRUE about the adequacy of and focus on family life itself.

878--People tend to associate with those who share their personal Reality; It is not hard to infer from peoples' testimony, just whom they favored.

868--And people function by point-of-view, not by Doctrine, Procedure, Regulation, Rule or Law--merely citing references just blows people Off.

858--The work of Justice is to initiate what promotes Good-- not merely penalize what is Bad.

Unfortunately, penalizing is all some judges KNOW.

848--Judges must be certain of their process, but they must become certain about outcomes, SO they direct events away from dehumanization and towards what is Life-Promoting.

Handing off a case to social workers is NEVER the simple answer to a question of Justice.

That solves no matter of relationship.

838--Competent tools for judging an individual include assessment of the Accused's mental state and competence; the adequacy or inadequacy of his family [mate or associates] to maintain honest dealings; his ability or inability to find sustaining work; his political and social aspirations, and his economic history [to look for obsessions and cravings].

Whether the individual ACTUALLY committed a crime is of secondary importance; building his character is primary.

If there is nothing unusual about his character, then you REALLY have a problem.

But that's another matter, because neither political reform nor retribution is the legitimate work of a Judge seeking Justice.

When "normal" people are involved in crimes, then what has become corrupted is Law itself.

828--Justice itself is accountable. Everybody knows when a Judge hands down mere retribution or political currency as sops to corrupted awmakers.

818--The health of the people's society must be the primary Value, not Egos of injured parties.

But if an Accused is dangerous and defiant, he must be removed from all human society and confined with his own kind.

807--From that perspective, the Judge must get inside the Accused's head, and sense his sense of reality, to know whether he is safe to let go gain.

797--Whatever the Judge lets go, will multiple and return.

787--This is because the Accused's point-of-view will manifest [grow] more of his kind.

777--What is active in HIM will activate others.

767--It's one thing to cope with the point-of-view of a single individual, and it's quite another to deal with an angry segment of society.

757--Yet, people have Rights that extend into relationships with other people.

747--And people cleave to doctrines that articulate their feelings about how they are [and were] treated, and why they are fearful.

737--What you must trust is that people behave according to what they count as important; however, this is not always accurate; sometimes, people simply flail away without any thought at all.

This is when it's hard to know WHAT to do with them, and the dictim that says, "Three strikes and you're out" is probably promoting the public good.

727--Justice is the recognition, "What goes around, comes around." Let the Judge not add to that problem, his/her preference for retribution."

7678-- PRINCIPLES OF ATTACHMENT

It has been taught in various forms that Attachment is at the Root of all Evil; yet the first urge a newborn has is his attachment to his mother, and the first urge a young adult has is an attachment to a likely mate. Attachments are Important and some work better than others. If you cultivate these Ten True Attachments, the False ones of Pleasure (Lust), Wealth (greed), and Power (Pride) will never ensnare you, and you will remain true to your Integrity.

1. Attach Well-Being, not to Comfort for its own sake, because Well-Being is willing to suffer to be strong; but comfort is lazy and unproductive.
2. Attach to What is appropriate, not to What is sincerely felt, because What is Appropriate takes into consideration the feelings of others as well as one's own.
3. Attach to Awareness, not to Belief, because Beliefs are like Vices--everybody has some--whereas Awareness is Open to Truth at all times and in all places.
4. Attach to Showing Up, not to Correcting because simply showing up with a Willing Heart leaves all Doubting out of the Picture, and cooperates with Joy and not with prodding.
5. Attach to Focusing on an Issue, not On a Point of View or Order, because focusing on an issue leaves all personal preferences out of the discussion.
6. Attach to Being Centered, not to Doing, because Doing will never substitute for Being Simply Whole.
7. Attach to Articulating Truth, not to Identifying with a group, because Truth is holy and works to describe Cause and Effect anywhere in the Galaxy; whereas identifying with a group guarantees that what is Sacred for group norms will dominate over Truth.
8. Attach to Reckoning Justice, not just Upholding Roles/Rules, because Justice manifests consequences far into your future lives; whereas Doctrine concerns this life only.
9. Attach to Harmony, not to Sensing Pleasure, because Health enables all other functions; whereas Just Sensing Pleasure leads to Addiction and Disease.
10. Attach to Hope, not to Perceiving by Sight, because Hope is Inspired by the Holy of Holies Who Make Things Happen; whereas Sight is merely the effect of others' Hopes.

3445 -- PLANETARY FAIRNESS-BASED ECONOMY

This our planet is made of and lives with certain Resources. We need to Compose a Living Picture.

Most of these resources need to be conserved in order to continue to sustain ourselves and our children to Eternity.

We must sell only what we do not want to utilize for ethical purposes.

Thus, we will sell uranium, sulfur, coal, and oil when the time comes; so let's not use these all up now.

That is short-sighted. So, save those now; and utilize solar, wind, and thermal power for our own needs.

By storing all metal we can reclaim, our stores can serve later generations for Star Ships.

Let our Great-great Grandchildren have what they need to Go Out There to the Stars.

Let's husband our Trees; they keep us safe and comfortable on this surface of Home Gaia.

Let people live in Highlands, and save Lowlands for the animals and crops.

Let's get out of cities--New York and Mammon--and live by Villages and Towns for the children's sake.

Let's fire all corrupted [incompetent] Officials; and let them be our friendly trash collectors and street sweepers.

Or, permit them to suffer when Karma serves that same function after we are reduced to ruin.

Let's only kill and sacrifice an animal one day per week, so animals in general live and thrive without fear.

The rest of the time, let's be Vegetarians and grow our own food [and O2] in the glassed-in attics of our houses.

Animals and children teach us how to live, in case we forget; so we mustn't waste them.

We should keep waterways clear of dwellings because dwellings generate waste contamination.

We should hold sea mammals sacred because they are Intelligent also, as we are.

Let's use our lives to progress Reckoning and Reason; and avoid creating Stuff to dispose of later.

What we have is Good; let's not squander, plunder and harm it.

8777 -- P E A C E

ELEMENTS OF PEACE--
Peace implies that what is working is Justice.
Justice implies constant correction and perfection.
Justice operates from Clarity [Truth] that is an effort.
Life that is Challenged does not promote Ease.
Thus Peace is a challenge, not an indulgence.
Peace demands people speak only Truth. In these ways,
Peace copies God.

"Call at the top of your voice, do not hold in, lift your voice like a ram-horn, andtell my people of their crimes and the house of Jacob of their sins. And theyresort to me day by day and like to know my courses; like a nation that had done the right thing and not deserted its God's law, they ask me for judgments for the right, they like to feel that God is near. 'How was it we fasted and you did not see it, we denied ourselves the gratification of appetites and you did not know it."

"Here on your fast day you engage in business and drive all your hands; here you fast wrangling and tussling and striking with lawless fist--you do not fast at present to make your voice heard on high.

"Is the fast that I choose like this, a day for men to deny themselves the gratification of appetites? is it to bend one's head over like a rush and make a bed of a sackcloth and ashes? will you call this a fast, and a day acceptable to YHVH?

"Would not this be a fast I would choose: to open up unlawful durance and undo the ties of yoke-bows, and let men held on trumped-up charges go free and snap the bows of every yoke?

"Wwould it not be to share your piece of bread with a hungry man and take homeless wretches into your house, when you see a naked man to cover him and not be unregardful of your flesh and blood?

"Then your light would break like the dawn and your wounds will quickly grow whole, and the rightness of your cause would go before you and YHVH's glory would bring up your rear; then you would call and YHVH would answer, you would shout and he would say 'Here I am.'" The prophet Isaiah in The Bible, chapter 58, Byington version.

"There is in the mind of God a plan which embraces every creature of all his vast domains, and this plan is an eternal purpose of boundless opportunity, unlimited progress, and endless life. And the infinite treasures of such a matchless career are yours for the striving." The Urantia Book, p. 365, par. 3.

"Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot come.

"Would you not want to make a holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely given wherever faithlessness is laid aside, unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly transforms all situations into one sure and continuous means for establishing His purpose, and demonstrating its reality." Course in Miracles, ch. 17, p. 370.

~ THOSE ON WHOM YHVH SHOWS MERCY ~

"The rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous."

Humanity is marked by intentions to create Good and intentions to create Advantages.

This is the simple difference between Good and Evil.

HOW MERCY OPERATES

"Seek not to spread My gospels, and entice followers unto this, or that, saith Jehovih. Neither go about preaching, saying: Thus saith Jehovih! Let all men hear Me in their own way. No man shall follow another. I will have no sect. I will have no creed. I am not exclusive; bUt I am with all My living creatures. ... As to thought and as to knowledge, this hath been a great labor. ... to those who choose Me, practicing their all highest light, I am a shield and fortification against all darkness, and against all evil and contention. ... Thou shalt not establish Me by man's laws, nor by the government of man, saith Jehovih. Nor establish by man's laws or government any book or revelation, saying: 'Behold, this is Jehovih's book. To keep man from interfering with man, this hath been great labor. To teach man to comprehend liberty, especially as to thought and as to knowledge, this hath been a great labor." OAHSPE, copyright 1882, Oahspe Publishing Association, New York.

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak." Scofield Version of the Bible, Eccl. 3:1-13.

P>"The more complex civilization becomes, the more difficult will become the art of living. The more rapid the changes in social usage, the more complicated will become the task of character development. Every ten generations mankind must learn anew the art of living if progress is to continue. And if man becomes so ingenious that he more rapidly adds to the complexities of society, the art of living will need to be remastered in less time, perhaps every single generation. If the evolution of the art of living fails to keep page with the technique of existence, humanity will quickly revert to the simple urge of living--the attainment of the satisfaction of present desires. Thus will humanity remain immature; society will fail in growing up to full maturity." The Urantia Book, 1772, par 4. MERCY.

8789--MARRIAGE : A Commitment Two People Make

Marriage cannot prevail, that exists to satisfy long-held internal unmet needs. Let's think about this.

In a society in which everyone is under siege, the temptation is to buddy-up, just to survive, just to "make it through the day [or night]."

Marriage is a mutual--Lawful--covenant relationship. When people who consider themselves Righteous and Lawful enter into it, it is a relationship that demands some grown-up skills:

• 181--an understanding of one's own internal well-being and health. Without such an understanding, they will break down under stress and/or impose great burdens of care upon their mate.
  
• 192--an approach to Life and Lifestyle that is thrifty and attentive to essentials. Without such an approach, they might dictate a destructive and wasteful life course.
  
• 202--persistence. Without persistence, they will give up when Changes are demanded of them.
  
• 212--an awareness of what appropriate dealings consist and/or don't consist of. Without manners, they will offend their mate, their children, and their community.
  
• 222--the ability to commit to a decision. Without commitment, without a STAKE in the relationship, no sense of "family" occurs.
  
• 232--the desire to "belong". Without embracing belonging--to oneself, to family, to a community-- a relationship takes on changes that empty it of all its meaning.
  
• 242--a fair sense of Discipline. Without a Fair sense of discipline, one's mate suffers from Intrusion and exploitation without any awareness on their part.
  
• 252--the desire to match responses. Without a desire to "keep count" of reciprocating, of quid pro quo and "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours," the relationship deteriorates into a rut and boring routine.
  
• 262--an effort to be very Clear with each other. Clarity about what evokes Gratitude and about "putting your heads together" are essential glue that hold your Spirits together in Unison.
  
• 272--understand each other's needs. Without meeting each other's TRUE needs--whether sexually, socially, financially, or interpersonally, then the Love that was expected gives in to Disappointment.

A NOTE---
A relationship with God WILL help your relationship with others. This is because God's Spirit assists in deriving Truth, God's Will assists by energizing your bodies, and God's Presence enables the Fruits of the Spirit to develop in both parties to the marriage.

And so it IS.

From The Bible:

"Those who fear YHVH are intimate with him and his covenant is to be made known to them. ... A capable wife who can find? Her value is far more than that of corals. In her the heart of her owner has put trust, and there is no gain lacking. She has rewarded him with good, and not bad, all the days of her life. She has sought wool and linen, and she works at whatever is the delight of her hands. She has proved to be like the ships of a merchant. From far away she brings in her food. She also gets up while it is still night, and gives food to her household and the prescribed portion to her young women. She has considered a field and proceeded to obtain it; from the fruitage of her hands she has planted a vineyard. She has girded her hips with strength, and she invigorates her arms. She has sensed that her trading is good; her lamp does not go out at night. Her hands she has thrust out to the distaff, and her own hands take hold of the spindle. Her palm she has stretched out to the afflicted one, and her hands she has thrust out to the poor one. She does not fear for her household because of the snow, for all her household are clothes with double garments." Ps:25:14; 31:10-21.

"Love is patient, kind; love is not jealous; love does not show off, does not get insulted, does not shock people, does not look out for its own interests, does not get provoked, does not count its injuries, is not glad at a wrong deed but glad to have the truth made glad, stands everything, believes everything, hopes everything, holds out through everything." I Cor. 13:4-8

"A good and noble man may be consummately in love with his wife but utterly unable to pass a satisfactory written examination on the psychology of marital love. Another man, having little or no love for his spouse, might pass such an examination most acceptably. The imperfection of the lover's insight into the true nature of the beloved does not in the least invalidate either the reality or sincerity of his love. Urantia Book, Paper 103.8, p. 1140.

Love is the Form of Attraction that Honors Initiatives

THE ELEMENTS OF LOVE :

The form of love that elevates
also gives Acknowledgment to the Infinite.
It encourages for Encouragement's sake--alone--
and it profits Giver and Receiver alike.
Love and Honor both demand great Effort;
yet Love also conveys an Expectation
that whatever a person initiates in its Light
is probably All Right, anyway.

T H E * K I N G D O M * O F * G O D

We live with the challenges of harmlessness and karma, Being dependent on Grace and remembering that people get what they expect.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

The Kingdom of God is for those who want to live harmlessly, constantly correcting and perfecting outcomes.

This implies great effort and focus. The challenge of being harmless is dealing with karmic debts from the past that involve suffering, and yet praising God the while.

Among the brothers and sisters in the Kingdom, one's companions and associates are numerous and unlimited as sands on the beach.

Options and experiences are centered on people, on skills, on events, on conveying Grace to one another--but not on obtaining mere Things.

Giving and Getting are beyond money and beyond price.

The people from among whom YHVH select--His Prophets, Seers, Ministers, Teachers, Workers--predominantly and preeminently--learn how to "share with each other" despite what the rest of the world chooses to do.

THE KINGOM OF GOD is an economic system of sharing in which spiritual and personal values predominate over obtaining personal riches.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD places Autonomy as primary, Community is secondary, Adventure is tertiary, and obtaining is Moot. Experiences and relationship are the focus of the Kingdom--not acquisitiveness.

Community: People Get what they Select. The following quotes illustrate what has been said about THE KINGDOM

"Therefore said he unto them, 'The harvest is great, but the labourers are few: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.' And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give; for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. The Bible, King James Version, Luke 10:2-8.

[To the disciple Andrew, Yeshua said]: 'You have forsaken everything, not only to follow me, but to be ordained as ambassadors of the kingdom. Already have you had several years' experience, and you know that the Father whose kingdom you proclaim will not forsake you. You have dedicated your lives to the ministry of the kingdom; therefore be not anxious or worried about the things of the temporal life, what you shall eat, nor yet for your body, what you shall wear. The welfare of the soul is more than food and drink; the progress in the spirit is far above the need of raiment.

When you are tempted to doubt the sureness of your bread, consider the ravens; they sow not neither reap, they have no storehouses or barns, and yet the Father provides food for every one of them that seeks it. And of how much more value are you than many birds! Besides, all of your anxiety or fretting doubts can do nothing to supply your material needs.

Which of you by anxiety can add a handbreadth to your stature or a day to your life? Since such matters are not in your hands, why do you give anxious thought to any of these problems?

Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is cut down and cast into the fire, how much more shall he clothe you, the ambassadors of the heavenly kingdom. O you of little faith! when you whole-heartedly devote yourselves to the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom, you should not be of doubtful minds concerning the support of yourselves or the families you have forsaken.

If you are only believing disciples, you must earn your own bread and contribute to the sustenance of all who teach and preach and heal. If you are anxious about your bread and water, where are you different from the nations of the world who so diligently seek such necessities? Devote yourselves to your work, believing that both the Father and I know that you have need of all these things.

Let me assure you, once and for all, that, if you dedicate your lives to the work of the kingdom, all your real needs shall be supplied. Seek the greater thing, and the lesser will be found therein; ask for the heavenly, and the earthly will be included. The shadow is certain to follow the substance." The Urantia Book, paper 165, page 1823.

Applying the Wisdom of Cause and Effect to Human Behaviors

ELEMENTS OF JUDGING

7121---Judgment comprises the completion of a material experience.
7222---In the final analysis, it includes all who identify with YHVH and His Will.
7323---All experiences that convey Identity are part of God's Judgment of human BEINGS.
7424---People are judged based on the experiences they SELECT--challenges or indulgences.
7525---It is noted whether an individual abides with Autonomy or Slavery.
7626---Testimony focuses on either accepting and willing cooperation or cultivating influence.
7727---Let it be noted that cooperation differs from mere obedience or compliance.
7828---The Last Judgment is an Honored Gift because--THEN--God takes you Home with Him.
7929---"Effects of lfestyle on Others" is the basis for judgments about integrity.
8030---Who's Will is Sovereign is the issue on the table--
whether ONE Favors Law or Consumerism can be seen in the lives of the people.

OTHER SOURCES :

"Since creative ability rests in the mind, everything you create is necessarily a matter of will. It also follows that whatever you alone make is real in your own sight, though not in the Mind of God. This basic distinction leads directly into the real meaning of the Last Judgment. The Last Judgment is one of the most threatening ideas in your thinking. This is because you do not understand it. Judgment is not an attribute of God. It was brought into being only after the separation, when it became one of the many learning devices to be built into the overall plan. . . . It is essential, that you free yourself from fear quickly, because you must emerge from the conflict if you are to bring peace to other minds." Course in Miracles, Text, p. 33-34.

0494 -- JUDGMENTS :: What is Practical?

WE Expect Effects TO SHOW Coherence

* H I S T O R Y * I S * P A S T : Causes Are Holy, Self-Sustaining, Eternal.

The Path of God YHVH Employs Cause and Effect on a Heading toward Joy.

807--What is Holy is the Sense of Experience--IN- and NOT OUT-OF-TIME

797--It's the most fun if everyone's experiences can be included, that sufficed as Wise.

787--What's going on becomes associated as elements and relations to each other.

777--What's active must be what gets people excited and adapts them to keep going.

767--What's necessary is to gain all the perspectives that can be sincerely experienced.

757--It's a challenge to remember and store all this data; yet the Holy Spirit is Faithful.

747--Attachments form the dominant links for a long time.

737--Eventually, cooperation is what counts.

727--Finally, the people achieve and maintain moment-by-moment clarity and Truth.

717--When this occurs, Reason becomes prevalent in place of mere Reckoning or Rule-following.

706--Although Reckoning is what is spoken and written down for All to employ,

696--what is acquired is the sustaining power and flexibility of Reasonableness.

686--Some day, each Perspective will serve its own Function without Judging the Others.

676--Points-of-view are Eternally Necessary, simply to be able to communicate on commonground.

666--Composing one's point-of-view demands goals and specificities.

656--Each point-of-view will acknowledge all the others' forms.

646--Each one will Stand and speak out from his or her own Role in material Life.

636--Teaching will exist as what is coherent with what.

626--Speaking one's own Truth will become comfortable and natural.

616--Thus, Life will become articulated, experience-by-experience, as long as it Lasts.

Causes and effects can be detected and discovered.

Any Effect which manifests and is judged Sacred has an integrity of its own.

Experience is the record of causes and effects in the Material.

Cause and Effect reveals what is of God ["of Good"] and what is temporary.

Expectations around Cause and Effect changes what actually occurs.

All final and summary effects include what is Essential and Of God.

Yet what is Essential is never THE Visible Part of an Effect.
