And how, you ask, are we to walk the spiritual path? We answer: say little, love much, give all, judge no one; aspire to all that is pure and good - and keep on keeping on - White Eagle

Despite all the doom and gloom on the news every night, this is a BEAUTIFUL world, with many wonderful sights and sounds - and people.
Open your eyes, open your heart and marvel.

But to every mind that openeth
A way and way, and away
A high soul climbs the highway
And the low soul gropes the low
And in between on the misty flats
The rest drift to and fro
But to every man there openeth
A high way and a low
And every mind decideth
The way his soul shall go
One ship sails East
And another West
By the self-same winds that blow
Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
That tells the way to go
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time
As we journey along through life
Tis the set of the soul
That determines the goal
And not the calm or the strife
Lovely poem by Ella Wheeler wilcox, knightofalbion.
"This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
His Holiness the Dalai Lama
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves
- Amelia Earhart
Remember, my brother, that the coin which you drop into the withered hand stretching toward you is the only golden chain that binds your rich heart to the loving heart of God

The Highest Teaching:
Sometimes I get very tired with those who want what they call 'higher teachings' from the spirit world and do nothing to help their brother men. As people grow, they understand more and more the operation of the laws of the Great Spirit. There is no 'high' and there is no 'low' teaching.
If all the people who clamour for teachings would do something to make the earth a better place, a brighter place, a place where the hungry would be fed and the thirsty would be given drink, where people were allowed to live in houses where the sunshine of the Great Spirit could reach their poor, tired bodies, then they would be putting into operation the highest teaching of all
