Be not like the rock, nor the wind, nor the valley, nor the water -instead, always be true to yourself, for all of these things are already a part of you -
2.To examine our Past, to live in the Present, to prepare for the Future...this is our life's work -
3.To receive is delight, to give is divine -
4.Do not put on your Sunday shoes and Sunday dress and say "I am going to temple", you are much closer to God as you are, here, now -
5.A hospital is for healing what is sick and broken, once healed, a man resumes his work...and so, God gives words of self healing so that man may throw down his crutches and go and do good in the world -
6.God is not concerned with your wealth of silver or gold, savings or profit; commerce will not embrace you on your death bed -
7.In times of hardship, false prophets multiply like ravens hungry for crumbs from the public square -
8.Go and do good, for God is beyond us all -
9.The sharing of love is much more powerful and wise than the giving of it -
10.Build no temple in My name, take care of each other, that is all that is required -
11.Do not procrastinate through song, praise and prayer...the crops must be planted, the soil must be turned -
12.I have given you instruction, now go and serve brother, sister, father, mother, neighbor and stranger -
13.The chains of sin are heavy; ultimately, they are yours alone if you are to grow strong enough to break them -
14.Smell the bloom of the flower with your nose, stand in the soil with your feet; naturally, this is the order of mankind -
15.Wheat is ground for bread, the grape is pressed for wine, so it is that you should understand the meaning of joyful sorrow -
16.The sin of sloth extends to both physical and intellect alike -
17.Existence will understand itself without intervention, to understand that one is alive is the greatest of first steps -
18.However large or small your boat is upon the ocean, always keep in mind its capacity, life and death will depend on it -
19.It is better to contemplate faith than to live in religious hypocracy, for mankind is reasonably limited to the former and sorrowfully unlimited to the latter -
20.Be mindful when studying scripture and psalm, for ignorance of the passage of time and changing of the seasons will distort the mind and spirit -
21.The soul is fed more through living experience and less through ritual experience...yes, you must prepare the food, but you must also eat the food to survive -
22.Do not be gluttonous for physical vice or spiritual ferver -
23.The mind must have room to breathe, do we not fill it to the brim everyday with trivial and value-less things? Room to breathe is room for peace, room for peace is room for strength & love; this is where we begin -
24.A State loyal to itself lacks the virtue to govern, for the capacity for goodness and God is drastically diminished -
25.Attain what security you need, but the sole dedication of your life to the collection of it only brings death and despair -
26.Money serves to give man prosperous use of the natural world and yet, he uses money in the opposite way, thus man alienates man from himself. This is an abomination unto humanity -
27.God is for you and you alone, like a loving mother, no other will suffice -
28.Density is the only difference between the body and the soul -
29.Demonism and possession do not exist, only the absence of self examination -
30.To advance your business and finances at temple, is to make a whore of God and a brothel from His house -
31.A man of faith will constantly challenge and attempt to overthrow his religous convictions, what is left standing is what is nearest to God. In turn, faith unchallenged results in spiritual slavery and is directly opposed to the tenant of man's respobsibility to Free Will -
32.Religion is a convention of man. The divine is a convention of the heart. One is like oil, the other is like water -
33.Tear down the banks and idols of commerce when they cease to serve the greater good. The pain of this active destruction is miniscule compared to that of passive oppression -
34.Be wary of those who promote Usary and Debt, for these earthly instruments set man against man, and gives him domain over which only God has authority. Without having planted the seed, guided the plow and cared for the Oxen, the Money Changer lacks a sacred foundation, and has no place in the Kingdom of God; he has made a desert in his heart and his thirst will never be satisfied -
35.No person has, can have or will have the power of God, this is blaspheme and a transgression against divinity; you only have the power of your self and humanity, which is wonderously abundant in its own right -
36.Immoral politicians are like streams of water running down a mountain, they will follow any path that is shaped in front of them -
37.The apparition of spirits and saints reside in the realm of fantasy and paganism; it is much better to seek apparitions of love and hope in our fellow man -

40.Truth is a rope that breaks at the moment of stretching -
41.Confusing substance with appearance makes civilization more animal than man -
42.Nothing is gained by trading material weatlh for the wealth of time, friends & family -
43.The three pillars of society are individualism, community, and government; unrestrained corruption in one allows the eventual destruction of the others -
44.Oh you evangelists who say "Come hear the Word and I will share food, drink, gold and silver." This is spiritual bribery, and immoral. Instead, invite and share your food, drink, gold and silver and do not mention My name; this act of kindness without pretense is the most potent influence upon a person's heart and mind -
45.Do not seek acceptance and the favor of others, this self-deception spreads like wildfire among the ignorant; instead, seek wisdom and understanding -
46.A cube of sugar, a saddle & bridle, an open pasture; each is appropriate in its own way, in its own time -
47.Natural evolution has been substituted by the artificial, nature knows not the way -
48.Living in the age of money is to understand that you can only build your boat so big, and your boat can only take on so much water before sinking -
49.To be ignorant of history is to be like the animal who's given to instinct and sudden inclinations; the past never enters the mind -
50.The greater capacity for War, the greater capacity for Peace; choice makes the peacemaker -
51.The cosmic sum of all things is only known by the cosmic sum of all things itself, we are a remainder at best -
52.Do not give money to your temple if you understand that it makes your seat more comfortable or pays for portraits and statues of the saints, in reality you are only giving money to yourself -

54.Violence takes but a second, peace, a lifetime -
55.The most tangible difference between one man and another is not based on property, status or power; it is morality -

57.To understand the deeds of your hands take a lifetime, to understand the deeds of my Father requires an infinity of lifetimes -
58.As the nose is to taste, so the heart is to the seeing of truth -
59.Every freedom gained by growing profit made, requires freedom lost though we may not know the cost -
60.We need not complexity in religion; simply observe, listen, meditate and reflect -
61.Do not constantly press your nose into the pages of the Holy Book for the pages will transform into blinders, and the Holiness of the Life around you will be lost. Do not forget, the Book of Life is written by no man and the volumes are kept in the authored conscience and subconscience of us all -
62.Do not close your eyes and imagine the wonderousness of Heaven, man has only speculation and is infinitely limited to the comprehension of afterlife. Are you not warmed by the sun, refreshed by the rain, shaded by the tree, marvelled by the sweetness of the fruit, humbled by the beauty of a bloom, delighted by the kiss of a lover, awakened by knowledge, amazed by the variety of animals in the world and stars in the sky? Heaven is upon you, you may look no further -
63.Benefit at the expense of corruption is an unyielding losing disproportionality -
64.To know of every blade of grass, every fish in the sea, every bird in the sky, every soul of mankind, every star in the universe and every unkown...this is the beginning of understanding the will of God; until then, you are only the student, and a tremendously humbled one at that
