We Will Come Grandly

The world is not wrecked.

It is like a magnificent steamer with the engines in place and the machinery in perfect order.

The bunkers are full of coal, and the ship is amply provisioned for the cruise;
there is no lack of any good thing.

Every provision Omniscience could devise has been made
for the safety, comfort, and happiness of the crew;
the steamer is out on the high seas tacking hither and thither
because no one has yet learned the right course to steer.

We are learning to steer, and in due time will come grandly
into the harbor of perfect harmony.

The world is good, and growing better.


Existing discords and inharmonies are but the rollings of the ship
incidental to our own imperfect steering;
they will all be removed in due time.

This view gives us an increasing outlook and an expanding mind;
it enables us to think largely of society and of ourselves,
and to do things in a great way.

Furthermore, we see that nothing can be wrong with such a world
or with any part of it,
including our own affairs.

If it is all moving on toward completion,
then it is not going wrong;
and as our own personal affairs are a part of the whole,
they are not going wrong.

You and all that you are concerned with
are moving on toward completeness.

It is Okay with You

When you feel free, you're free to be who you want to be under any and all conditions, and you really don't worry about what anybody else thinks about it, because you know that what they think about you is their problem. It has nothing to do with you. And when you really feel that way, you become in the greatest place that we know of, which is in the place of allowing -- and you know you are in the place of allowing when you can see another not approving of you and it is okay with you.

A Game of Boomerangs

-

Many people are in ignorance of the fact
that gifts and things are investments,
and that hoarding and saving invariably lead to loss.

"There is that scattereth and yet increaseth;
and there is that withholdeth more than is meet,
but it tendeth to poverty."


For example: I knew a man who wanted
to buy a fur-lined overcoat.

He and his wife went to various shops,
but there was none he wanted.

He said they were all too cheap-looking.

At last, he was shown one, the salesman said
was valued at a thousand dollars,
but which the manager would sell him for five-hundred dollars,
as it was late in the season.

His financial possessions amounted to
about seven hundred dollars.

The reasoning mind would have said,
"You can't afford to spend nearly all you have on a coat,"
but he was very intuitive and never reasoned.

He turned to his wife and said,
"If I get this coat, I'll make a ton of money!"
So his wife consented, weakly.

About a month later, he received
a ten-thousand-dollar commission.

The coat made him feel so rich,
it linked him with success and prosperity;
without the coat he would not have received the commission.

It was an investment paying large dividends!

If man ignores these leadings to spend or to give,
the same amount of money will go
in an uninteresting or unhappy way.


For example: A woman told me, on Thanksgiving Day,
she informed her family
that they could not afford a Thanksgiving dinner.

She had the money, but decided to save it.

A few days later, someone entered her room
and took from the bureau drawer
the exact amount the dinner would have cost.


The law always stands back of the man
who spends fearlessly, with wisdom.

An Observation

If you love something, set it free.
If it comes back, it was and always will be yours.
If it never returns, it was never yours to begin with.


If it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff,
eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money,
and never appears to know
that you actually set it free in the first place,
---
then you either married it or gave birth to it.

Your Playground

This physical environment is your playground of expansion. 

And without it, 
the Universe could not expand in the way that it does.

What This Is

-

epimedium and maca and a little ginkgo for the Missus
a grand slammin' breakfast, hostin' a toast to yer juicy kisses
got 10 pound balls that are slappin' in time to...
my 13-inch bat ironing out the insides of you
that's what this is

Attitude of Gratitude

Might Appear To Be Sad

It might appear to be sad on the face of it.
But the Spirit's here...saying..."Relax, my friend; you can hang with it."



So I sit here waiting...for yet another miracle.
If it wasn't for what I've seen,...I'd probably have no faith at all.


Sometimes I think it was easier...when it was just a dream.
I understand, Sister Morphine,...sometimes things ain't what they seem.



I guess I keep going through with it,...since I ain't got no better plan.
Wonderin' if there'll ever come a time...in which they'll understand.
















Yeah, I guess I keep going through with it,...since I ain't got no better plan.
Wonderin' if there'll ever come a time...in which she'll understand.
