They are All Acting in Concert

 

We all need guidance through life. The human soul is not meant to be understood. Rather, we may want to consider taking a more relaxed position and reflect on the way our lives have taken shape. The Earth was once thought to be the center of the Universe: above us was Heaven, and below us was Hell. It is true that various sorts of Angels were supposed to exist and be in some ways superior to human beings, but humans were considered the lord of the material World. Humans were made in the image of God, and God became the incarnate in the flesh of humans. Many people travel through life without good guidance, lacking knowledge of a desired destination or how to get there. The ultimate objective in our mortal journey has been revealed by our Creator, who said, “If you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the favors of God.” God’s gift of eternal life is subject to conditions established by him. Those conditions constitute a plan, a spiritual road map. And when trouble comes, guidance is needed most. Whatever the approach, the aim will be health or happiness achieved by the removal of these central problems. #RandolphHarris 1 of 7

Care of the soul is a fundamentally different way of regarding daily life and the quest for happiness. The emphasis is not on problems at all. One person might care for the soul by buying or renting their dreamhouse, another by selecting an appropriate career, and another by buying a care they like. Care of the soul is a continuous process that concerns itself not so much with fixing perceived imperfections of everyday life. To reach our objective of eternal life, we follow teachings in the standard works and other revelations received from God. Our loving Heavenly Father foresaw our need for guidance. Scriptural guidance helps us to recognize error and make the necessary correction. We stop going in the wrong direction. We carefully study the scriptural road map and then we proceed with repentance and restitution required to get on the correct path which leads to eternal life. Tending to the things around us and becoming sensitive to the importance of home, daily schedule, and maybe even the clothes we wear, are ways of caring for the soul. Some people place careful emphasis on colors, spices, oils, places to walk, countries to visit—all very concrete decision of everyday life that day by day either support or disturb the soul. #RandolphHarris 2 of 7

Many people are poor and unhappy with their lives because they do not value time and are too busy paying attention to the lives of others, instead of focusing on themselves. Time poverty is a problem partly of perception and partly of distribution. Once hours are financially quantified, people worry more about wasting, saving or using them profitably. When economies grow and incomes rise, everyone’s time becomes more valuable. And the more valuable something becomes, the scarcer it seems. Individualistic cultures, which emphasis achievement over affiliation, help cultivate this time-is-money mindset. This creates an urgency to make every moment count. Larger, wealthy cities, with their high wages and soaring costs of living, raise the value of people’s time further still. People who live in Manhattan, New York USA are more economical about how they use their minutes—and generally are more in a rush to get things accomplished and errands and goals taken care of. They tend to be swifter than people in small towns. The tempo of life in rich cities is faster than that of developing cities. #RandolphHarris 3 of 7

When people see their time in terms of money, they tend to grow more conservative with the ways to maximize their days. People who are goal oriented do not like to be given the runaround or spend countless hours and days resolving unnecessary problems. All resources are viewed in terms of money and even each sheet of paper is considered a valuable resource. Many corporations are always looking for ways to cut costs and maximize profits and will get upset about pointless memos being printed on expensive paper. Once my boss got really upset with me, at the time I was sixteen and did not feel like look for the clear plastic tape to seal off my register tape and used one of the gold labels, and got reprimanded for it. I did not understand at the time, but it was a valuable lesson to learn. It does not make sense to use something that was special made and expensive unnecessarily, especially when there is an alternative material that is less expensive. When you have to maximize profits, and have to pay shareholders, every quarter they expect more money and if your costs are constantly going up and profits down, due to inefficiency, then more than likely you will lose your job. People who are investing their hard earn money want a return on their investments. #RandolphHarris 4 of 7

It can be a challenge to make the best out of our time, and we have to do it in ways that are honest. Some people like to waste time and to make up for the loss of profits, they take bribes or try to cheat people out of money and other resources, but that is no way to life because then you have to worry about being reported to law enforcement and hiring a law and facing criminal charges. Criminal organizations are a group of three or more people, formed for an extended period of time and acting in concert, with the objective of intentionally perpetrating criminal offenses. Acting in concert means that the members of the criminal organization share tasks related to criminal activities, which obviously presumes prior planning, and a certain degree of direction and organization. So, you do not want to work at a criminal organization because you can be considered to be mutually reinforcing effects of those acting in it; however, the existence of acting in concert does not follow from being in direct contact with actors in a criminal organization, nor specific knowledge of other actions nor the identity of the actors; behavior as a member of a criminal organization formed by a division of functions, and in a manner based on superiors and subordinates, with full knowledge of the organization, and collaborated while in constant contact with its members. #RandolphHarris 5 of 7

The existing provisions of the Criminal Code do not distinguish among the hierarchy of actions within the criminal organization in terms of their activity or intensity, as these conditions are only considered during the sentencing phase. If there is evidence that a criminal offense was linked to the operations of an actual criminal organization, or committed within the context of such, then due to the conditions it was carried out—particularly due to the nature of specific behavior presuming the prior or later linked actions of others, and due to events that are necessary and therefore likely to occur, it can be concluded that the action of the occasional perpetrator (participant) is recognized at the time it was carried out as being committed within a criminal organization. The mandatory criteria of a criminal organization are: collaboration of three or more people for a prolonged or indefinite period of time, and suspected or convicted of committing serious criminal offenses with the objective of pursuing profit and/or power. Optional criteria being involved in a criminal organization is having a specific task or role for each participant, using some form of internal discipline and control. #RandolphHarris 6 of 7

We care what happens to our people. They are precious to our Heavenly Father, and they are our hope for bringing about good in the World. However, false gods can lead to dead ends. More optional criteria in being a criminal organization includes using violence or other coercive means suitable for intimidation, exerting influence on politics, the media, public administration, law enforcement, the administration of justice, or the economy by corruption or any other means. Using commercial or business-like structures, engaged in money laundering, and operating on an international level. Therefore, in our busy lives, we are forced to focus on things we do from day to day. However, the development of character comes only as we focus on who we really are. To establish and accomplish those greater goals, we do need Heavenly help. Inner peace comes only as we maintain the integrity of truth in all aspects of our lives. When we covenant to follow God and obey his commandments, we accept his standards in every thought, action, and deed. We want to enable our people to recognize error and to take action. We must help people seek for and love truth and choose to act independently, to act according to it. #RandolphHarris 7 of 7
