If There Were No Self...There Would Be No Self-life to Forsake...

 If There Were No Self...There Would Be No Self-life to Forsake...




(Written 2/12/2014)


Your life is mystery...constantly changing...rearranging 

the droplets of glow...of life and love in the river flows

of time in space...the footprints trace in your youthful aging...

where you have been...where you begin...the path of one who knows...


The path of one who knows is singular and oft alone...

It is many times a lonely back road to walk...

alive with the blood and thoughts of ancestors, who have shone

continuous light upon timeless truth...who "walked the talk..."


Hardships and disappointments faced...build strength of character...

social inequalities experienced...fosters desire...

to altruism...in the service of one's fellow wayfarers...

even when your feet must walk upon coals...pass through the fire...


Without ongoing uncertainty and insecurity...

there is no hope of the soul's greater spirit attainment...

no grandeur of sublime faith trust...no divine guarantee... 

mind that...knows...knows ever less than its present acquirement...


In this supreme assertion of thought...faith may become bridge...

ascend the material mind and see with spiritual eyes...

falsehood and error...present evil...escape its bondage...

and love the truth so much you mount its wings...go where truth flies...


Let relative goodness and beauty stimulate your reach...

your inching toward a clearer concept of the divine...

indwelling divine spirit through intuition may teach...

a tempered idealism allows the mortal soul to shine...


When you exhibit valorous devotion to duty...

you experience...default, betrayal and desertion...

carry on amidst the fury...in truth...goodness...beauty...

the highest good...is loyalty that remains...the solution...


Must face the face... the unceasing, inescapable self...

is ever clamoring for honor and recognition...

In unselfishness...self-forgetfulness...escape the shell...

good from potential evil...clarifies true intention...


In the great test...human experience...you are at your best...

a subtlety of wisdom so sublime...self is absent...

You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind | Any Questions?

 you are the victim of your own mind You Are the Victim of Your Own Mind  Any Questions? Victimization by Others vs. Self-victimization Is there a point where early victimization (by others) in childhood is no longer other-victimization but self-victimization? At what age could this be said to be true? Being victimized by parents (one or both), by foster parents (one or both), by a step-dad or step-mom (or both), an uncle, an aunt, a cousin, etc. begins a life-long tragedy of suffering in the mind of the victimized individual. But when the victimization by another or others stops (for whatever reason), at what point do you continue on in self-victimization , when you are old enough to make a different choice? The answer is likely that of personal choices to grow or to not grow in soul-awareness. In my own experience, it took until 29 years of age to make a different choice--a soul-conscious choice to no longer victimize myself and start down the path to healing. It took 11 mor...

1 - The 1st of the 28 Principles in The Urantia Book

the first 4 of the 28 principles in the urantia book The 1st of the 28 Principles  in The Urantia Book  The Great Question Number One 1. Is courage—strength of character—desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments. The Great Goal of Hue-man Attainment It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function—when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development—that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being. By such a balanced growth does man ascend the circles of planetary progression one by one, from the seventh to the first. The Urantia Book 110:6.4    On the Path to Understanding the "Mastery of Self" It is accurate to say that "understanding" the 28 principles of "high mortal philosophy" ...

Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity | What Do YOU Fear?

  arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity Arrogance is the Camouflage of Insecurity   What Do YOU Fear that Makes YOU Arrogant? Give Me Liberty If one man craves freedom — liberty — he must remember that all other men long for the same freedom. The Urantia Book , ( 134:6.1 ) Arrogance is Mimicry I was recently asked on social media: " So tell me please, when did you first come to think something like soul could be real, do you remember?" And my response was: Thank you for asking this question, a rare question indeed in my experience and an excellent one. (I love for others to ask questions of me.) The First Moral Decision At five and one-half years of age I made a more unconscious than conscious decision that I wanted to be  like God, based on the little information provided to me by my grandmother.  I admired the qualities of character of the idea and concept of God, because I admired those same qualities which I saw in my grandmother. To the child mind, it w...
