Purpose shall be Found in Life
True knowledge hath a deliverance impulse .. a strengthening power for those who arise to embody it.
Knowledge shall be transmuted into faculty and empowerment .. into its perfect use and application; knowledge shall become organic, natural, and it must have its awakening in the life of each individual who finds the courage and fortitude to confront themselves and to conquer with compassion all which can be brought into Order and Harmony.
The experience of dynamic religious living transforms the mediocre individual into a personality of idealistic power and gracefulness. Religion ministers to the progress of all through fostering the progress of each individual, and the progress of each is augmented through the achievement of all within God the Supreme.
Spiritual growth is mutually stimulated by intimate association with other religionists. Love supplies the soil for religious growth — an objective lure in the place of subjective gratification — yet it yields the supreme subjective satisfaction.
And religion ennobles the commonplace drudgery of daily living.
Humanity demands the unfolding, developing, and training of the mind into harmony and beautiful balance.
As the object of all discipline is to form right habits of life in developing character, so the right religious training, with a knowledge and observance of the laws of life and health, would secure better - balanced minds and lessen the danger of becoming warped and delusional and diseased.
If any of God’s creatures are too low in the scale of advancement to comprehend the right, and the laws of his being, then you, being intelligent in these laws of life, should findeth mercy upon him, as you would an infant, until it is capable of helping itself.
A single generous act, a single kind word spoken, may have an incalculable and enduring effect. Many a one has become hardened and dishonest by being abused, and by dwelling upon grievances. What they want is sympathy and encouragement, and someone to make them do what they can; this is the service of a friend…Michael Of Nebadon
