The true vocation of human beings is to achieve in ever fuller freedom an ever more loyal devotion to our spiritual ideals. Freedom and loyalty alike are unique and personal. The duty to which we are devoted is our duty; the endeavor to recognize and fulfill it is our true being and career. This insight and commitment constitutes our conscience, our own self-recognition and our self-experience. To act always in accordance with one’s best conviction one’s duty; or act according to one’s conscience. Humanity can only go forward by developing reason, finding a new harmony, a human one. We are gifted with reason; we are life being aware of itself. Sometimes we sit back and think about life, and the future and pray that our family and everyone we love will be safe and protected. Many also think about the life of the planet, and about the plastic and other waste we throw into the landfills and it creates a sense of guilt, it makes us feel like greedy humans. However, that is part of being human. Sometimes we feel helpless before the forced of nature and society. If we did not have spirituality and know that God is in control and do the best we can to be good people, we might “think” ourselves crazy, which basically means it is not good to overanalyze everything. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5

Life is meant to be enjoyed. We would become insane if we could not liberate ourselves from excessive control. It is important in life to unite ourselves with other people and learn to use our human powers to actively make a difference. It is never good to feel separate from humanity because that would mean that we are helpless, unable to grasp the World—things and people—actively; it would mean the World could invade us without us having the ability to react. Evil essentially consists in the laxity or disloyalty of the moral will. Any placidity or routine self-contented stagnation is a denial of our moral career. Any easygoing or cowardly compromise with our bounden duty is a betrayal of our quest. These two evils are in corrupt kinship: laxity and laziness lead to cowardice, and from these two vices issues the third, falseness. We owe every human absolute frankness and truthfulness. We do not need to prove to others that we are someone special. The truth is that we are children of God, and we do not have to prove anything to anyone. Know that you are special and never think that you are worthless. The worth of a soul is its capacity to become as God. God is your Father. He loves you. You value is beyond any measure. You are unique. One of a kind, made of the eternal intelligence which gives you claim upon eternal life. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5

Let there be no question in your mind about your value as an individual. God put us on Earth so that we could have the opportunity to reach our fullest potential, which is eternal progression. In our moral philosophy, there is the self-achievement of the dutiful will, in utter devotion to ideal ends. It is the unique career of each person to be involved and participating in a social institutional milieu. In the system of actual human conduct, one’s duties are not merely one’s own; they imply acknowledgment of others and of their rights. The purposes and projects of my career cannot be realized in a social vacuum; they affect others and others’ claims and rights. These claims and rights, and my relation to them, and not only personal; they affect objective natural conditions in which ethics involves economics. Moral respect for my neighbor precludes violation of what belongs to one, that is, one’s property rights. There is a still small voice of conscience, and we have a dutiful integrity in self-expression. By recognizing our separateness, we remain strangers because we have not learned to love each other (this is made very clear by the fact that Adam defends himself by blaming Eve, rather than by trying to defend her). #RandolphHarris 3 of 5

The reason people have a lack of respect for other is because they look at their differences. The awareness of human separation, without reunion by love—is the source of shame. It is at the same time the source of guilt and stress. The deepest need for humanity is to overcome this separateness, to leave the basement of aloneness. The absolute failure to achieve this aim means insanity, because the panic of complete isolation can be overcome only by such a radical withdrawal from the World outside that the feeling of separation disappears—because the World outside, from which one is separated, has disappeared. Many people believe the love of God is the true union we seek. The person who already has the greatest spiritual faith will make the most active demonstrator of Truth. The person who naturally has a spiritual insight will more quickly sense the truths which the conscience portrays. Many people talk too much about God, but fail to employ the loving principals in their lives. They permit themselves to become confused by the introduction of contradictory ideas. They spend too much time in merely philosophizing, theorizing, speculating, until finally they live in a World of wistful wishing, of daydreams. #RandolphHarris 4 of 5

The soul is truly the mean of all things created by God. Consciousness is aware not only of its own existence, but of the consciousness of others. Altruism is a necessity, since isolation is impossible. Seize upon whatever facts present themselves to your mind today, begin to use such truth as you grasp, and you will become more connection with your spiritual psychology, with its vast possibilities, without fear; in true humility, happily, willing to accept, eager to experiment. We know that faith has healed the sick, and faith has power to produce all kinds of wonder-working and amazing results. Naturally, we believe n God as the infinite spirit permeating everything. We believe that there is a law of mind which responds to our thought, faith, and conviction. We believe that the Universe in which we live is a spiritual system and that the Kingdom of God is now ours and present with us. Our thoughts are creative because our thoughts are God’s power flowing through us will and imagination. For a spiritual treatment to be effective, it must be communicated from a consciousness that knows the power and activity of God. This spiritual power can and will heal, accomplish, demonstrate, and answer prayers. One of the great challenges each of us faces every day is to not allow the concerns of this World to so dominate our time and energy that we neglect the eternal thins that matter most. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
