Pleasure, knowledge, aesthetic experience, beauty, truth, virtue, harmony, love, friendship, justice, freedom, self-expression are all valuable pictures drawn by our imagination and considered a valuable part of superior wisdom. Life must be lived constructively, in unity and love and sympathy. Everyone is born to be creative and to live to the fullest and to enjoy life, be happy and glad and whole. We do not believe that God is a failure. God never makes any mistakes. It is said that the average person draws on only about 10 percent of one’s real capacity; the other 90 percent is supposedly submerged and unused. If that is true, we can multiply our talents many times. Keep in mind that when one sees a true in full bloom, one has to remember that the roots through which the tree draws its life are entirely invisible from the unassisted eye, but the tree is, in fact, connected to a system that supplies it with nourishment that allows it to grow. And, unless the tree drew on this invisible source it would never flourish. Our roots are in the mind of God. Our individuality, everything that we are and do, is an effect of our invisible forces—forces which continually draw on the infinite. Indeed, people’s charms should not go to waste, may this never be a dire consequence for the mortal World. You are just fine, honey bunch.  #RandolphHarris 1 of 6

However, in our lack of understanding, we limit the flow of the divine power into our lives. It is important to take the limits off God and have faith that God has the power to do anything in our lives. He is the God of miracles and blessings. Do not let someone make you think that your mind is limited. They have no idea what other processes that are going on in your brain because your mind is connected to God. If we are certain that our lives are constructive, and if our whole desire is to live in such a way as to harm no one but to bless all, then we should place no limit on the possibility of our future. Our ambition for success and perfection in work drives us on, while worries about failure keep us tied to the soul in the work. When ideas of perfection dive downward into the lower region of the soul, out of that gesture of incarnation comes human achievement. We may feel crushed by failure, but our lofty aims may need some adjustments if they are to play a creative role in human life. Life is embedded in the soul. Right here is where our faith in the power greater than we are must be brought into play. For we as individuals are rooted in this power. We must come to believe that God dwells within us, and that same creative spirit that is back of all things flows through us. In ordinary life, creativity means making something for the soul out of every experience. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6

 Sometimes we can shape an experience into something of value, thought to be good or desired. At other times, simply holding experience in memory and in reflection allows it to incubate and reveal some of its imagination. Creativity may assume many different forms, it can generate its own style of awareness and its own brand of insight, which allow more important elements of culture and personality to emerge with some fundamental psychological insights and desires. Creativity finds it soul when we embrace that if we fail, this does not define is. We just have to use it as a moment of reflect and see how we can improve. God has a need of us or he would not have put us here. God has divine wishes to express through us or we would have no existence. An ethically sensitive person is more subject than others to doubt, crisis, and remorse: satisfied conscience is more readily found in those who have a narrow awareness and ready formulas. However, an ethically sensitivity person may exemplify the perfection of individual morality, in which are combined a feeling for each individual act and a care for all possible results. God will give us ideas, that the spirit within us will suddenly give to us in a competed form. Creative work can be exciting, inspiring, and Godlike. #RandolphHarris 3 of 6

As we do our daily work, make our homes and marries, raise our children, and fabricate a culture, we are all being creative. Entering our fate with generous attentiveness and care, we enjoy a soulful kind of creativity that may have the brilliance of the work of great artists. The ultimate work, then, is an engagement with the soul, responding to the demands of fate and tending the details of life as it presents itself. The satisfactions of our work can be deep and long lasting, undone neither by failures nor by flashes of success. The soul has need for vernacular life—its relationship to local places and cultures. It has a preference for details and particulars, intimacy and involvement, attachment and connections. The soul feeds on whatever life grows n its immediate environment. To the soul, the ordinary is sacred and the everyday is the primary source of religion. We are people and we can short-circuit the divine energy that ought to be flowing through us. We short-circuit it when we deny that it is there. And the reason we deny it is because we do not see this energy, and therefore we do not believe in it. The soul needs spirituality. Let us, every one, resolve within ourselves to arise to a new sense of responsibility, a new shouldering of obligation to assist our Father in Heaven in his glorious work of bringing to pass the immortality and eternal life of his sons and daughters throughout the Earth. #RandolphHarris 4 of 6

 In the modern World, we tend to separate psychology from religion. We like to think that emotional problems have to do with the family, childhood, and trauma—with personal life not with spirituality. We do not diagnose a mental issue as a loss of religious sensibility or a lack of spiritual awareness. Yet it is obvious that the soul, seat of the deepest emotions, can benefit greatly from the gifts of a vivid spiritual life and can suffer when it is deprived of them. If we believe that the Heavenly Father is within us, and if we believe that all things are possible to God, then we should no longer deny that God knows what to do with his own creation, and we should include ourselves in that creation. The family is the ideal place for teaching. It is also a laboratory for learning. Family home evening can bring spiritual growth to each member. The soul needs an articulated Worldview, a carefully worked out scheme of values, and a sense of relatedness to the whole. The soul needs to believe in immortality and the spirit of the family, arising from traditions and values that have been part of the family for generations. We should learn to have a better opinion of ourselves because we live due to the fact that we are drawing on the invisible source of all life. #RandolphHarris 5 of 6

We wish to draw on these invisible forces of God, to let our roots run deep into that life which already is perfect and complete, and we want to live happily and without fear. For fear short-circuits this divine energy, while confusion and uncertainty cause it to produce bondage instead of freedom. If we want to change this, let us start by accepting ourselves for better. God always does and can and will provide for us. And having clearing all doubt from our consciousness we must learn to affirm that all the power and all the presence and all the life that there is, is for us and with us and in us. “May the Lord answers you when you are in distress. God answers one from his holy Heaven with the saving power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and in horses, but we must trust in the name of the Lord our God (Psalm 20.1 and 6-7).” The higher forces of life always work constructively. When we use them constructively, there seems to be no limit to their possibility. However, the moment we begin to use them destructively, they appear to block themselves. We cannot expect to use the power of good for evil purposes, nor could we expect through hate to generate love. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
