In the struggle between life and death, sometimes survival is not the only way to win. It takes two to get you off the ground, or so said the Great Bernard in his Consideration mental prayer (5.3); that is to say, it takes Simplicity and Purity. Simplicity you should be able to find under Intention. Purity resides in Affection; yes, the soul has affections. Simplicity leads to God; Purity, to general understanding and enjoyment. If he raucous affections of your soul are under your control, no good action will get in your spiritual way. If you intend to seek nothing else than good favour of God and the goodwill of your neighbour, your heart will be free as a bird’s. If your heart is right, then every creature great and small is a mirror of life and a book of doctrine. And that from the wormy to the pachydermy: each one of hem reflects something of the goodness of God. Here is some common wisdom on the subject of Purity. If you are good and pure on the inside, then you will see everything on the outside without impediment and seize it well. The pure of heart sees clearly through to Heaven and Hell. As each one lives interiorly, so one will judge exteriorly. If there is joy in the World, the person with the pure heart surely possesses it. If there is tribulation and anxiety anywhere in the World, or so Paul surmised to Romans (2.9), who knows more about it than the gentleperson whose conscience is continually assailed by evil? As an iron thrust into the fire loses its rust and heats to a glowing whole, so Humankind turning itself completely to God emerges from its torpor and is transmuted into a new Humanity. #RandolphHarris 1 of 19

Humanity quickly loses interest in the spiritual life. At moments like this, people do not want to lift a finger to help themselves; they freely accept all the handouts they can get. However, when they increase their efforts in behalf of the spiritual life, an odd thing happens. They stand up straight and begin to walk it virilely on the Via Domini. There is one sure sign of this. What they once thought important, they now can hardly remember. Whenever a glimpse is given to one, one should stretch its duration to the utmost. This can be markedly helped by being very careful to keep one’s physical position unchanged, by not even slightly moving hand or foot or trunk. The perfectly still body offers the best condition for retaining the perfectly still mind. If attention is to be placed anywhere in the body, it should be placed in the region of the heart. The sudden but gentle drawing away from outer activity to the inner one, “the melting away in the heart,” as the Old World mystics call it, felt actually inside the middle-chest region, may make itself felt occasionally, or, in an advanced or regular meditator, every day. In the last case it will tend to appear at around the same hour each time. This is a call which ought o be treated properly with all the reverence it deserves. However, before it can be honoured, it must be recognized. Its marks of identification must be studied in books, learned from experience, gleaned from the statements of other persons, or obtained from a personal teacher. When it comes, the human should heed the signal, drop whatever one is doing, any obey the unuttered command to turn inwards, to practise remembrance, or to enter meditation. #RandolphHarris 2 of 19

The significant points in this matter are three: first, it is a call to be recognized and understood; second, it is a command from the highest authority to be obeyed instantly, as disregard brings its own punishment, which is that the call may not come again; third, it is an offer of grace. If the call is heeded and its meaning known or intuited, the aspirant should first of all arrest one’s movements and remain utterly frozen, as if posing for a portrait painter. Let the mind be blank, held as empty thoughts as possible. After a while, when adjusted to this sudden suspension of activity, one may with extreme slowness and with utmost gentleness assume a bodily posture where one will be more relaxed and more comfortable, or perhaps even a formal meditation posture. One may then shut one’s eyes or let the say in a steady gaze as if one were transfixed, or one may alternate with both according to the urge from within. If everything else is dropped and all these conditions are fulfilled, then a successful mediation brining on a spiritual glimpse is sure to follow. The psychology which believes its study of humans to be complete with its study of one’s reflexes, complexes, emotions, and behaviour is superficial. It has still to get at and explain one’s consciousness of those things. There are two essential divisions in the psychological constitution of humans. The first is the realm of thoughts, the second is that which is aware of the thoughts, the thinker. Modern psychology has done nothing more than grope in the first realm; it has been quite unable to find the final verified truth about the second one, about the mind that is behind all thoughts. #RandolphHarris 3 of 19

The psychoanalyst, the psychological counsellor, and the psychotherapist can all study and practise philosophy with benefit to their professional work. Having done so, they can then play a useful role in treating those who would like to undertake involvement but are emotionally or psychologically too egocentric, too easily upset and unbalanced, or suffering too much from psychoses or neuroses, to be able to rise to its impersonal demands. There is of course a semi-lunatic fringe always around religion, spiritualism, and occultism, with a smaller one around mysticism, for there is some sort of ego satisfaction to be found there. The philosopher is not concerned with this atmosphere. Too many unbalanced persons prematurely occupy themselves with occultism, hypnotism, spiritualism, and even mysticism. It is better not to encourage them, for that will only make their present condition worse. Their first need is to get straightened out and for this they need outside help. The proper help is not easy to find. If it is professional and paid for such as that given by psychologists, psychoanalysts, or psychiatrists, it may have only a very limited value. The kind of help that would be really efficient would be a combination of these professional skills with philosophic, intuitive, and psychic skill. More individuals suffering from mental disorders drag out miserable lives in hospitals than those suffering from other forms of sickness, although sickness may kill more people more quickly. This is only a part of the price modern humans are paying for one’s “civilized” way of life. #RandolphHarris 4 of 19

Dr. Freud’s outlook was too materialistic, his interpretation of psychological process too mechanistic, his personal experience too one-sided to permit him to adequately solve the human problem. Nevertheless he presented a good start in opening up a neglected mental hinterland to science. Dr. Adler advanced beyond Dr. Freud. Dr. Jung advanced beyond Dr. Adler. Psychoanalysis has indeed made a useful contribution, amidst all its errors and exaggerations. It has brought into light what was formerly and unhealthily hidden in darkness. It has said what needed saying but what nobody had the courage to say. It has said what needed saying but what nobody had the courage to day. It has helped people understand their character better. However, this said, its work is useful only on its own level, which is much inferior to the philosophical one. Insofar as one can bring anyone to see oneself as one is, the psychiatrist may prepare one—at a price—for this quest or, if one is particular materialistic, may hinder one’s patient from it. Those who take only a casual interest in their mental health will not take a serious interest in philosophy. There has never been in incarnation so high a proportion of neurotics, psychotics, and mildly unbalanced, destructive, violent, or largely mad persons. Everybody can recognize a bodily deformity—whether it be one’s own or another’s—in an instant, whereas hardly anybody recognizes a mental deformity until weeks, months, or even years have passed: sometimes it is never recognized at all. Ignorance of the laws of psychic well-being is not less dangerous because it is so common. There is a legitimate place for experiment in the applied sciences: it contributed so much to their development. However, in the matter of psychology, consciousness, physical investigation, and the religious inner life, the need for guarding sanity and safeguarding morality is surely there. #RandolphHarris 5 of 19

To tell yourself that you are getting better and better every day, when the cause of your sickness is making it worse and worse, is to lead the mind into illusion, error, and self-deceit. Suggestion has its proper place and usefulness, but it is only a part and not the whole of psychotherapy. If we are lucky, our strength and confidence are derived from our early days by phantasies that are confirmed by sensory events. Our youthful phantasies that something nice would soon happen coincided regularly with the onset of the nice thing happening. Sensory events (of food, warmth, love, and so on) then confirmed our central (phantasy) processes. We are weakened when there is a discontinuity between these two: in the later day, the life of the senses will not be so deeply involved with thoughts of what we could enjoy. When individual satisfactions are not closely related to the arousal of youthful ness, the individual misses opportunities to acquire the sense that is has control over getting pleasant things for itself. Moreover, if the arousal of need is very unconnected with the arrival of whatever might in other circumstances be greeted as a pleasant, satisfying thing, the individual is left feeling that there is little one can do for oneself. To that extent, one will feel one cannot cope with the World. Disappointed youth and adults in this mood may prefer to remain in the World of their phantasies, and keep away from the World their senses convey to them. In the life of phantasy we can try to continue to have phantasy satisfactions, or at least some measure of control over our phantasy creations. The incentive to stay with out phantasies will be greater, the more we have suffered from the World our senses bring to us—the World of other people and things over which we have no control. #RandolphHarris 6 of 19

Strange, impossible ideas may enter the mind at times. Alarm may flood us whenever that painful World threatens to intrude, and signal-anxiety may keep us clinging to our phantasies. Reason soon bids them take their exit, and then a few will reappear to haunt one. Day-dreams are preferred to what the senses may bring. External relationships seem to have been emptied by a massive withdrawal of the real libidinal self. Effective mental activity has disappeared into a hidden inner World; the individual’s conscious ego is emptied of vital feeling and action, and seems to have become unreal. You may catch glimpses of intense activity going on in the inner World, through dream and phantasy, but the individual’s conscious ego merely reports these as if it were a neutral observer not personally involved in the inner drama. The attitude to the outer World is the same: non-involvement and observation at a distance without any feeling, like that of a press reporter describing a social gathering of which one is not a part, in which one has no personal interest, and by which one is bored. Such activity as is carried on may appear to be mechanical. On the other hand, it is possible for people to retreat into the life of the senses, and to cut off their consciousness from more central processes. Babies and adults in this mood give an impression of responsiveness and lively feelings. However, the responsiveness is to the momentary stimulus—it does not touch the more central regions in any coherent way. There is no coherence at the back of this apparent vitality and vivacity, no reliability of mood or direction—not even a strong self-preservative purpose. Such people sometimes appear to be at the mercy of their moods. Women who behave like this have often been prized by those with a strong need to nurture and protect; they are regarded as good fun, and their silliness is gratifying to others. However, if no such protector can be found, their fate is tragic. Romantic literature is full of them. #RandolphHarris 7 of 19

So here is a split or weakness in the connections between the phantasy World and the coping self, and also between the sensory life and the coping self. Once there are such splits, people can choose to retreat into either, to diminish their pain. Saint Anthony, founder of Christian monasticism and father of Christian anchoritisms, laid down a rule for oneself to eat only once a day, and after the sun had set. However, many self-actualized have a rule to eat the last meal at midday when the Sun is at its highest point! Can we not see here as in so many other spiritual matters, how much human opinion governs humans—and not divine inspiration! The less affluent in Germany and Russia, in Bulgaria and China, know the worth of black bread. However, with the pseudo-progress and the surrender to appearances rather than to honest values, its replacement by whiter and whiter bread is possible, perhaps probable. Many spiritual aspirants who are practising healing usually prepare their own food. The theory is that the magnetic influence of the person who prepares the food affects the latter, and the aspirant eating food permeated with bad magnetism suffers thereby. The advance self-actualized do not need to be too concerned about this, as they are more immune in some ways, although more sensitive in others. However, where they have the choice, they will be careful in this matter. We must ostentatiously take every care to free our hearts and minds from selfish, materialistic, or unworthy thoughts and feelings. People of faith historically have followed multiple routes to discerning God’s will. They have gleaned guidance from sacred texts such as the Bible; their tradition’s historical wisdom as collected in creeds, hymns, prayers, and scholarship; the counsel of spiritual mentors such as rabbis, priests, and pastors; and their individual intuitions as gleaned through prayer and meditation. #RandolphHarris 8 of 19

Their last route for discerning God’s will, which was famously practiced by Christian mystics whose writings survive as part of the World’s spiritual heritage, is today in favour among individualists Americans. As the teachings of one’s communal religious heritage—in Scripture memorization, catechism classes, Torah teaching—have waned, private talking with God has not. Such prayer often incorporates both a desire for discernment and a pursuit of power. Pray The Prayer of Jabez (a little book that stood atop best-seller lists in 2001 with 4.1 million copies sold in its first six months) and you are promised the abundance of blessings that God has ready for you. God is only waiting for you to pray, as did the honourable Jabez in the Old Testament, to “bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory.” Prayers for blessings are common to Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. However, so is a dash of realism. Job, equally honourable, prays for blessings and finds oneself accursed—and becomes our everlasting reminder that the rain falls on both the just and unjust. “When you stretch out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen,” the Old Testament Isaiah records a displeased God as saying. Most faith traditions are especially skeptical of those who claim a hot line to God and presume to tell the rest of us what God is thinking, or to be special channels of God’s healing power. The church historian Gerald Sittser notes that such presumption “allows a few people to be demagogues and makes the rest of us suckers or cynics.” #RandolphHarris 9 of 19

Some years ago, I started receiving mass mailings from something called the Don Stewart Evangelistic Association, each inviting me to send in a contribution and a request for a miracle. One enclosed a “miracle prayer cloth” that had supposedly touched Stewart’s body. Like the woman healed upon touching Jesus’ garment, I, too, could unleash miraculous power if I would write a wish for myself and a friend on the prayer-cloth envelop and mail it in after it had spent a night under my pillow (remembering Jesus’ words, “Give and it shall be given”). Stewart then promised to devote three days and nights to ardent fasting and prayer over my request, after which he would send the prayer cloth back to me as the “point-of-release.” I decided to test Stewart’s miracle system. I asked this man of the cloth to get God “to stop Don Stewart from exploiting suffering people with his arrogant self-deification.” On schedule, my prayer cloth returned with a note from Stewart printed to appear handwritten: “For three days and three night your special prayer requests and prayer cloth have been in my private prayer chamber, and I have been praying. I have asked God to give you this special miracle you need and to put his hand on your loved one. I really feel good about it! Victory coming!” if only he were right. And if we say that we are rejecting the old images in order to do more justice to the moral attributes of God, we must again be careful of what we are really meaning. When we wish to learn the love and goodness of God by analogy—by imagining parallels to them realm of human relations—we turn of course to the parables of Christ. #RandolphHarris 10 of 19

However, when we try to conceive the reality as it may be in itself, we must beware lest we interpret “moral attributes” in terms of mere conscientiousness or abstract benevolence. The mistake is easily made because we (correctly) deny that God has passions; and with us a love that is not passionate means a love that is something less. However, the reason why God has no passions is that passions imply passivity and intermission. The passion of love is something that happens to us, as “getting wet” happens to a body: and God is exempt from that “passion” in the same way that water is exempt from “getting we.” He cannot be affected with love because He is love. To imagine that love as something less torrential or les sharp than our own temporary and derivative “passions” is a most disastrous fantasy. Again, we may find a violence in some of the traditional imagery which tends to obscure the changelessness of God, the peace, which nearly all who approach Him have reported—the “still, small voice.” And it is here, I think that the pre-Christian imagery is least suggestive. Yet even here, there is a danger lest the half conscious picture of some huge thing at rest—a clear, still ocean, a dome of “white radiance”—should smuggle in ideas of inertia, or vacuity. The stillness in which the mystics approach Him is intent and alert—at the opposite pole from sleep or reverie. They are becoming like Him. Silences in the physical World occur in empty places: but the ultimate Peace is silent through very density of life. Saying is swallowed up in being. There is no movement because His action (which is Himself) is timeless. You might, if you wished, call it movement at an infinite speed, which is the same thing as rest, but reached by a different—perhaps a less misleading—way of approach. #RandolphHarris 11 of 19

Humans are reluctant to pass over from the notion of an abstract and negative deity to the living God. I do not wonder. Here lies the deepest tap-root of Pantheism and of the objection to traditional imagery. It was hated not at bottom, because it pictured Him as a man but because it pictured Him as king, or even as warrior. The Pantheist’s God does nothing, demands nothing. He is there if you wish for Him, like a book on a self. He will not pursue you. There is no danger that ay any time Heaven and Earth should flee away at His glance. If He were the truth, then we could really say that all the Christian images of kingship were a historical accident of which our religion ought to be cleansed. It is with a shock that we discover them to be indispensable. You have had a shock like that before, in connection with smaller matters—when the line pulls at your hand, when something breathes besides you in the darkness. So here; the shock comes at the precise moment when the thrill of life is communicated to us along the clue we have been following. It is always shocking to meet life where we thought we were alone. “Look out!” we cry, “it is alive.” And therefore this is the very point at which so many draw back—I would have done so myself if I could—and proceed no further with Christianity. An “impersonal God”—well and good. A subjective God of beauty, truth and goodness, inside our own heads—better still. A formless lifeforce surging through us, a vast power which we can tap—best of all. However, God Himself, alive, pulling at the other end of the cord, perhaps approaching at an infinite speed, the hunter, king, husband—that is quite another matter. #RandolphHarris 12 of 19

There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (“Man’s search for God!”) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us? So it is a sort of Rubicon. One goes across; or not. However, if one does, there is no manner of security against miracles. One may be in for anything. Is violence born in the heart or the mind? If we must kill to protect ourselves, what will that do to our heart, and our souls? Remaining thus among themselves in the state of nature, the bodies politic soon experienced the inconveniences that had forced private individual to leave it; and that state became even more deadly among these great bodies than the state had been among the private individuals of who they were composed. Whence came the national wars, battles, murders, and reprisals that make nature tremble and offend reason and all those horrible prejudices that rank the honour of shedding human blood among the virtues. The most decent people learned to consider it one of their duties to kill their fellow humans. Finally, humans were seen massacring one another by the thousands without knowing why. More murders were committed in a single say of combat and more horrors in the capture of a single city than were committed in the state of nature during entire centuries over the entire face of the Earth. Such are the first effects one glimpses of the division of humankind into different societies. Let us return to the founding of these societies. I know that many have ascribed other origins to political societies, such as conquests by the most powerful, or the union of the weak; and the choice among these causes is indifferent to what I want to establish. #RandolphHarris 13 of 19

Nevertheless, the one I have just described seems to me the most natural, for the following reasons. In the first cause, the right of conquest, since it is not right, could not have founded any other, because the conqueror and conquered peoples always remain in a state of war with one another, unless the nation, returned to full liberty, were to choose voluntarily its conqueror as its leader. Until then, whatever the capitulations that may have been made, since they have been founded on violence alone and are consequently null by this very fact, on this hypothesis there can be neither true society nor body politic, nor any other law than that of the strongest. These words strong and weak are equivocal in the second case, because in the interval between the establishment of the right of property or of the first occupant and that of political governments, the meaning of these terms is better rendered by the words poor and rich, because, before the laws, man did not in fact have anu other means of placing his equals in subjection except by attacking their goods or by giving the part of his. Since the poor had nothing in return. On the contrary, since the rich men were, so to speak, sensitive in all parts of their goods, it was much easier to do them harm, and consequently they had to take greater precautions to protect themselves. And finally it is reasonable to believe that a things was invented by those to whom it is useful rather than by those to whom it is harmful. Incipient government did not have a constant and regular form. The lack of philosophy and experience permitted only present inconveniences to be perceived, and there was thought of remedying the others only as they presented themselves. #RandolphHarris 14 of 19

Despite all the labours of the wisest legislators, the political state always remained imperfect, because it was practically the work of change; and, because it had been badly begun, time, in discovering faults and suggesting remedies, could never repair the vices of the constitution. People were continually patching it up, whereas they should have begun by clearing the air and pitting aside all the old materials, as Lycurgus did in Sparta, in order to raise a good edifice later on. At first, society consisted merely of some general conventions that private individuals promised to observe, and concerning which the community became the guarantor for each of them. Experience had to demonstrate how weak such a constitution was, and how easy it was for lawbreakers to escape conviction or punishment for faults of which the public alone was to be witness and judge. The law had to be evaded in a thousand ways; inconveniences and disorders had to multiply continually in order to make them finally give some thought to confiding to private individuals the dangerous trust of public authority, and to make them entrust to magistrates the care of enforcing the observance of the deliberations of the people. For to say that the leaders were chosen before the confederation was brought about that the ministers of the laws existed before the laws themselves is a supposition hat does not allow of serious debate. It would be no more reasonable to believe that initially the peoples threw themselves unconditionally and for all times into the arms of an absolute master, and that the first means of providing for the common security dreamed up by proud and unruly humans was to rush headlong into slavery. #RandolphHarris 15 of 19

In fact, if not to defend themselves against oppression and to protect their foods, their lives their liberties, which are, as it were, the constitutive elements of their being, why did they give themselves over to superiors? Now, since, in relations between humans, the worst that can happen to someone is for one to see oneself at the discretion of someone else, would it not have been contrary to good sense to begin by surrendering into the hands of a leader the only things for whose preservation they needed one’s help? What equivalent could one have offered them for the concessions of so fine a right? And if one had dared to demand it on the pretext of defending them, would one not have immediately received the reply given in the fable: “what more will the enemy do to us?” It is therefore incontestable, and it is a fundamental maxim of all political right, that peoples have given themselves leaders in order to defend their liberty and not to enslave themselves. If we have a prince, Pliny said to Trajan, it is so that he may preserve us from having a master. [Our] political theorists produce the same sophisms about the love of liberty [our] philosophers have made about the state of nature. By the things they see they render judgments about very different things they have not seen; and they attribute to humans a natural inclination to servitude owing to the patience with which those who are before their eyes endure their servitude, without giving a thought to the fact that it is the same for liberty as it is for innocence and virtue: their value is felt only as long as one has them oneself, and the taste of them is lost as soon as one has lost them. “I know the delights of your country,” said Brasidas to a satrap who compared the life of Sparta to that of Persepolis, “but you cannot know the pleasure of mine.” #RandolphHarris 16 of 19

As an unbroken steed bristles his mane, paws the ground with his hoof, and struggles violently at the mere approach of the bit, while a rained horse patiently endures the ship and the spur, barbarous man does not bow his head for the yoke that civilized man wears without a murmur, and he prefers the most stormy liberty to tranquil subjection. Thus it is not by the degradation of enslaved peoples that human’s natural dispositions for or against servitude are to be judged, but by the wonders that all free peoples have accomplished to safeguard themselves from oppression. I know that enslaved peoples do nothing but boast of the peace and tranquility they enjoy in their chains and that they give the name “peace” to the most miserable slavery. However, when I see free peoples sacrificing pleasures, tranquility, wealth, power, and life itself for the preservation of this sole good which is regarded so disdainfully by those who have lost it; when I see animals born free and abhorring captivity break their heads against the bars of their prison; when I see multitudes of utterly naked savages scorn European pleasures and brave hunger, fire, sword and death, simply to preserve their independence, I sense that it is inappropriate for slaves to reason about liberty. During this time of great imbalance on planet Earth we may feel ourselves torn between the priorities of healing ourselves—resolving our own inner spiritual or psychological problems—and attempting to cure the social and economic ills that beset our culture. While each of us undoubtedly has much inner work to do, this attitude misses the main point of Earth Prayer. It continues to view the individual as somehow separate from the rest of the World. #RandolphHarris 17 of 19

However, if we accept that we are totally part of this living Earth, then we must recognize that isolated health is an illusion. Healing ourselves and working to resolve the contradictions in the human-Earth ecology is the same as work. All healing involves making whole again—resolving the contradictions that exist between self and other, body and spirit, mind and nature. Prayers area pathway back to an understanding and appreciation of life. They remind us that our participation extends to the whole. Knowing that we are not encapsulated, self-enclosed entities, but rather fields of energy integrated with the environment, everything we do transforms and reshapes the World. If our actions can destroy, so can they heal. In this light there is no difference between work and prayer, no distinction between physical activity and the work of the spirit. Precisely in the restoration of this balance between body and spirit lies the path for healing the greater whole. You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. The Earth itself is the primary healer. It speaks in silence and solitude. It tells us of the comfort to be found in wild places. Our help is in the mountains, where we take ourselves to heal the Earthly wounds that people give o us. Prayers remind us that what we would like to see, we must help bring into being. All prayer is ultimately an act of hope. Without hope, it has no substance. Hope empowers our intention and gives character to action. #RandolphHarris 18 of 19

While our action may be turned aside from its purposes or taken over by the milieu in which it occurs, prayer, when it is genuine, cannot be taken over. It attains its goals because it is its goal. I have come to terms with the future. From this day onward I will walk easy on the Earth. Plant trees. Kill no living things. Live in harmony with all creatures. I will restore the Earth where I am. Use no more of its resources than I need. And listen, listen to what it is telling me. Unto all generations we will declare Thy greatness and to all eternity we will proclaim Thy holiness. Our mouth shall ever speak Thy praise, O our God, for Thou art a great and holy God and King. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the holy God. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, the holy King. Thou art One, Thy name is one, and who is like Thy people America, unique on Earth? A crown of distinction, a crown of salvation, the Sabbath Thou gavest us for the spirit’s rebirth. Our fathers have told us that on the Sabbath day, Abraham and Isaac rejoiced; Jacob and his sons found joy and rest. This day of true peace, this day of delight, granted in love for tranquil repose, by Thee was blest. May Thy children know that from Thee cometh rest. In observing the Sabbath, choicest of days, they hallow Thy name. Thou didst choose us for Thy service from among all peoples, loving us and taking delight in us. Thou didst exalt us above all tongues by making us holy through Thy commandments. Thou drawn us near, O our King, unto Thy service and hast called us by Thy great and holy name. And Thou hast given us in Love, O Lord our God, [Sabbaths for rest,] holidays for gladness, festivals and seasons for rejoicing. Thou hast granted us [this Sabbath day and] this Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Season of our Freedom, this Feast of Weks, the Season of the Giving of our Tora, this is the Feast of Tabernacles, the Season of our Gladness. To those who would corrupt the search for truth, be warned. The sword of justice cuts both ways. #RandolphHarris 19 of 19
