If the infinite eternal wisdom of love is embodied in light and in all that has emerged and derived from light including your own life, how could you possibly consider light absent from the family of life? Or any other necessary minuscule member of Cosmic Order?

Fulfillment of soul in service to life is the life worth living. Such fulfillment is the only true profit in any transaction. Such profit is achieved by the measure of creative and collaborative social union. Unity is your best freedom and your best vessel for the flourishing of infinite diversity, just as the hexagonal core of all snowflakes binds and promotes all their glorious unique differences of elegant structure.

Not executive mansions, not the halls of legislation, not the courtrooms of justice but the community is the seat of the power of the people directly active in the determination of their rights, freedoms and responsibilities.

Community is small enough so that its members may all know each other if wise enough, and large enough to be known by all life on Earth for its exemplary wisdom and beneficence to the common good. Treat well, therefore, your communities; for they are the new and emergent citizens of the world’s politics of salvation.

necessary dynamics in the struggle of lives to survive. But they are as small beings in the vast web of symbiosis. Symbiosis is the dynamic of living in mutual supportive harmony within, among and between all species. It is the predominant dynamic that has been the carrier of ever-emerging and evolving life on Earth. It might well be said that through all the annals of life, past, present and future, life is symbiosis. Of course, all life must eat however it can, but what it eats is the fruit of symbiosis, the fruit of mutual communal support and synergy.
