This is going to be the biggest thing to hit Earth since artificial illumination. When you are in the presence of Divine Solace, it is no big deal to turn your back on human solace. However, it is a big deal to have no solace whatsoever, either human or divine. A bigger deal still is willingly to sustain exile of the heart for the honour of God. Biggest deal of all is not to seek yourself in any one thing and not to look for any one merit in return. What is better than having Hilarity and Devotion accompanied by Advenient Grace? Everybody desires this hour. Borne by the grace of God, you ride sweetly enough in the saddle, and lightly too; it is the Omnipotent who is bearing your brunt, and the Great Leader who is walking the reins. We know what solace is, and sometimes we even experience it. However, for a human being to be stripped of all solace? What is what happened to holy deacon Lawrence, who with his chaplain was martyred in the third century—marvels both even in their own age. Everything the World held up as desirable he despised. For the love of Christ, he even endured the martyrdom, a few days before his own, of the great high priest at the time, Pope Sixtus II, whom he dearly loved. And so Lawrence could have chosen personal comfort, but instead, for the love of the Creator, he chose Divine Pleasure. The moral? One day too you will be called upon to leave behind a close friend for the love of God. And do not behave badly when you find yourself abandoned by a friend who has chosen God over you. In the end we will all be separated from each other. #RandolphHarris 1 of 20

You must fight against yourself—that you know. However, it takes long bouts over long periods before you begin to win consistently enough to train your whole affection on God. When you face off against yourself, you are easily suckered into human consolation. However, the true lover of Christ and unswering pursuivant of virtues is succored by Divine Consolations. That is to say, he does not fall for the sticky, sugary kind, nor does he seek to wallow in the sleek, cool sweetness. What he does do for Christ is seek rugged spiritual exercise and harsh physical labour. When God gives spiritual consolation, accept it with good grace. Just know that it is His doing, not yours. Do not blow your horn, do not prance about, do not carry on like a clown. Just be all the more humble for the gift. If anything, be even more cautious in all your actions. Why? The hour of consolation will pass and soon be followed by temptation. When consolation is taken away, do no climb out on the ledge, do not throw a noose over the branch. Just wait with Humility and Patience for the Celestial Visitation to come again. Why? God has it in His power to visit upon you even more consolation. The moral? This teetering and tottering in the life of prayer is well documented. The great Saints and the ancient Prophets were tormented by it and, much to our edification, learned to survive it. When consolation came, the Psalmist sang out in his thirtieth, “I was so fully of I, there was nothing I could not do.” When consolation left, he changed his tune, “You have turned your face away from me, and driven me out of my mind.” #RandolphHarris 2 of 20

In these ups and downs, the Psalmist never despaired. Rather, he pressed his wretched case in prayer. “To you, O Lord, I complain, and flat in front of you I pound my fists into the turf.” Finally, he reported the fruit of his prayer, singing out for all the World. “The Lord heard me and felt sorry for me; He took me by the hand.” However, in what way? “You have turned my mournful wails into squeals of delight, surrounded me with gifts.” It happened that way in the lives of the great Saints, so why will it not happen to us poor paupers? If we find ourselves sometimes in fervor, sometimes in frigor, we should not despair. Why? Because the Spirit ebbs and flows according to the Divine Pleasure. Whence the blessed Job who, more than once the victim of Divine Whimsy, was moved to say, “You visited him at the same time every day, but tempted him without warning.” When I am deserted by Grace, what can I hope for? When I am left to wallow in my own poverty of spirit, whom should I confide in? There is always the mercy of God and the hope of Heavenly Grace. There are some other good people around, some fellow Devouts, some faithful friends, some holy books, some illustrated tomes, some chants and hymns whose sweetness lingers. All of these help a little, tell a little. However, a solemn time like this there is no better remedy then suffering, self-abnegation, and, ultimately and inevitably, unconditional surrender to what is, evidently, the will of God. I have never found a dedicated soul who, at least once in a while, did not lose a little grace, who did not sense a diminution in fervor. #RandolphHarris 3 of 20

A holy person may experience rapture or illumination, but even as one does so, one knows that it is at horrific expense to one’s spiritual life; that is to say, as surely as temptation has left, it will come again. In other words, there is no one worthy of spiritual experience, whether high or deep, who has not been exercised somehow by tribulation for God’s sake. Yes, there is a moral. Temptation is generally thought to herald the arrival of consolation. Just remember, to those who have been severely tried by temptation, Heavenly Consolation is already on the way. “From the tree of life,” wrote John in his Revelation (2.7), “the victor can have one’s pick of the fruit.” Divine Consolation, or so the spiritual wisdom has it, is conferred on Humankind in order to make it stronger when it has to beat off attacks. Temptation surely follows consolation, so that we will not blubber about the virtuosity of our own virtues. Please remember, the Devil does not sleep, nor has our flesh lost its itch, at least up to this point. Please remember also, do not let your guard down; do not stop preparing for the battle. Why? Because your enemies are massing on the right and on the left. That is decent enough in the daytime, but what is absolutely indecent is that, while you sleep, they continue their preparations throughout the night. Know that when mortals contact Godsrealm, the Universe registers the sheer unlikeliness of the event in the most obvious of ways, with pain. The pain was a sign of possible sickness in the general setup of what things are and how they happen. Just be sure you get the job done; the Universe created twelve other deities as a second line of defense. #RandolphHarris 4 of 20

Earth is the Dimension of Possibilities. In the case of persons who are not consciously seeking for the reality or truth, the glimpse may also come but may be turned away, refused, and rejected. This may happen because of their Earthly character, materialistic belief, or excessively outgoing orientation. The first faint beginning of the glimpse is supposed and its importance simply unrecognized. Even if its hushed gentle beauty is momentarily felt, it will be pushed aside as mere daydreaming. Thus these people deny, unwittingly, the messenger and lose what could have been a precious chance to discover what is best in them. Beware of keeping out these beautiful spontaneous intuitive moods through the over-intellectualizing of the path to them and of the truth behind them. It all comes to some in a flash. That there is a great advantage of having your destiny preordained. One does not have to spend a lot of time considering various possibilities. It is not often that morals get a chance to do the work that gods are supposed to do, but often cannot be bothered with. Those mortals who can get to do the work of the gods know they are onto a good thing. Currently, human-divine relations are at an all-time low. However, with the job of semidivine status comes a chance to lead several interesting lives simultaneously. It is a once-in-a-lifetime shot: being noticed by the divine is very much like being noticed by Hollywood. The Glimpse will be at its best when one’s ego is not present to interfere with it. Such interference can not only come from is misinterpretations and distortions, against which philosophy so constantly warns its disciples, but also from the self-consciousness which wants one to notice how the experience is happening, to analyze what effect it is having, and to observe the reactions of other people to it. #RandolphHarris 5 of 20

It seems to me you might like to undo the damage your neglect has brough about. All these may be done but not then, not at the same time as the glimpse itself. Instead, they may be studied afterwards, when one’s consciousness has resumed its ordinary state. During the glimpse, one must let oneself be completely surrendered to it. By jumping around between one’s various lives, one is able to slow the aging process to a crawl. Why try to predetermine what, by its very nature, is beyond your reach? Why not let the Overself reveal its existence in its own way? For the moment you introduce your own conception of what it ought to be and insist that it shall be allied to, or governed by, this conception, in that moment you become diverted from the pure and true mystical experience of the Overself into an adulterated and imperfect one. I am asking you to participate in saving the Universe that you have so thoughtlessly put into peril. There is a Universal danger scheme and now many have no privacy whatsoever. However, the problem goes a lot deeper than privacy. People are playing hell with Earth. God never directly invented technology because He has magic. From God’s point of view, technology is just inferior to magic. Nonetheless, humans, by the way they treat the planet seem to believe that it has long outlived its usefulness, and it is refusing to pass away gratefully. Many of their actions are considered rotten, vile, unpleasant, evil-smelling, unsavory. Highly neurotic persons are particularly eager to find a guru (or an analyst), as one affords an opportunity to enter into an intimate mental-emotional relationship centered round the neurotic’s ego, thus feeding it still more. However, the food here is “spiritual.” Quite clearly philosophy, throwing the burden of self-salvation on their own shoulders, would be distasteful. #RandolphHarris 6 of 20

Those who can no longer cope with the life of today or with themselves and their experience of today are segregated and put into homes or institutions for the mentally disturbed. May it not be that there is something wrong with society itself that is has brought them to this state? The neurotic person moves in a small World which is solely concerned with one’s own feelings and one’s own desires. All one’s thoughts are centered in one’s little self. How can one be released from such a prison? One way is to become interested in the lives of other people, helping them so far as one can. Another way is to become interested in understanding the World-Idea, participating consciously in its workings. One’s temperament will make it difficult for one to follow either of these ways. If, however, one is earnestly seeking release, the attempt to follow either of these ways will attract help from outside oneself. If people are love, they are supposed to inflame others with the passion of love. If one really wants to see some interesting reactions, it might be a good idea to try to be loving rather than irritating. Love will achieve the same effect as gall, and yet instead of fearing it, people will go out of their way to be drawn in. The way in which one gets one’s first glimpse, especially if similar to subsequent ones, becomes a fixed form in one’s belief about it or in one’s belief about it or in one’s search for a repetition of it. This may become a handcuff, an unnecessary restriction which the finite self puts upon infinite being. Those who have been instructed in philosophy and therefore in the way glimpses, with the reactions to them and the interpretations of them, happen are not likely to make this mistake; but those who know only religions, aesthetics, and other mysticisms may do so. Let them not dogmatize but leave the Infinite its freedom. #RandolphHarris 7 of 20

People are not interested in the gods anymore, what with the general trend on Earth toward Nothingism. Gods used to have a good business in granting wishes, but nowadays, human missionary groups have been vying successfully for human souls. No one likes being made to fall in love. Love is a typically male idea. Only a man could have thought of it. Only a masculine principle in the Universe could have contrived it so that it could happen at all. Yet, the passive never gave up the hope that the World was going to do something nice for them. Do people have any ancient myth about God coming to them with promises of glory and revenge for unremembered wrongs? The first meeting between the two races had been recorded in sacred scriptures. However, humans were so unaware of how to relate to angel’s ways of thinking, that they did not know when they had been subverted, for humans were able to engage in contradictory behaviour with the greatest of ease. Just when you thought you had a human or a nation of humans safely under your thumb (for angels grew special thumbs in those days to have humans under) the terrestrial creatures would forget all about their promises and go about killing you simply because you were different. However, if people think being in love is tough, wait until they get a look at being loved; or, not being loved. So the situation for Earth continues, no better; in fact, getting a lot worse. This battle being waged on Earth will destroy the Earth. The Universe is going to collapse. I am trying to tell you that the usual ideas about hell are wrong. Hell is reserved for those who, like Prometheus, tried to handle cosmic forces and failed. #RandolphHarris 8 of 20

The Universe, the realm of the gods, godsapce, hell the fractal dimension, the realm of avenging deities, and the countless others—they are sphere of influence that interpenetrate one another. The concentration upon the glimpse must be full, complete, and sustained. If, for only a single moment, one allows one’s attention to be diverted toward some outer thing or person, or to be divided with some inner idea, the glimpse may instantly disappear. It is not that they are wholly insensitive to the touch of the Overself, but that they keep on pushing it away from themselves. And this they do for various reasons, according to their individual nature and situation. The moment you seek to keep the glimpse as you own, it is gone. However, in this place, the possibilities of experienced time are transformed by love to create an eternity of its own, and this without reference to the passage of time in other places. We could live in a subjective forever, and forget all about the Universe. Black holes standout in sharp contrast to the pale opalescence of space. They seem to come in all sizes, from tiny ones the size of coffee grains, to gigantic ones the size of thunderclouds. They really big ones are much less dangerous to an alien spacefleet than then smaller ones. We have to take into account the inverse proportion effect here. It is the smaller ones that really do a job of shredding and tearing. Parasites exist on Earth, too. They drain the host of present time. Many people are fooling around with forces beyond the petty limits of their feeble imaginations. They are going to create a tenth-order paradox and screw everything up. #RandolphHarris 9 of 20

Guardians of the Universe recommend people should cut out this entire sequence of being parasites. That is by far the simplest solution. Otherwise they may be accused of the highest crime there is possible to charge to a human. That crime is the releasing of forces that upset the balance of the Universe and bring to oblivion all who dwell in it, gods, humans, creatures of every sort, living and nonliving; yes, all this, and even stars and quarks, even matter, that fundament upon which both existence and being in the phenomenal World is based. If one complains that the glimpse does not last, one should understand that it cannot last. Unless the mind and the heart are previously put into a properly prepared state to receive it, they will soon reject it. The process of rejection, however, is an unconscious one, for the active agents in it are the restlessness of one’s thoughts, the negativity of one’s emotions, the identification with the body, the strength of one’s desires and, in fact, all those things which constitute one’s ego. The forces which keep one apart from the higher state are within one’s personal self and not within that state. If one is unable to retain it, it is because one needs further purification and preparation, and its departure is really a signal indicating this need. The glimpse is hard to get but easy to lose. If one interferes with it by becoming intellectually analytic or emotionally conceited during its brief reign, it slips away. It is the easiest of things to lose the glimpse. For when attention is transferred from it to any physical activity whatever, and however necessary, if it is NOT guarded with the utmost care, it will slip from one. #RandolphHarris 10 of 20

In the glow of the experience any attempt to analyze it destroys it. Let it explain itself. Do not bring it within the narrower walls of the intellect. For then you bring in the ego and unwittingly dismiss the Overself. If the prerequisite conditions do not exist, if hidden negative traits and mental-emotional imbalance tend to act as a short-circuit and prevent its manifestation, it is less likely that the glimpse will come. In those first few moments of its beginning the glimpse is so fragile, so vulnerable, that even a small movement of interest elsewhere is likely to bring it to a premature end. The quicker one beings to think about the experience, the quicker does the glimpse go. For by reflecting upon it one unwittingly moves out of it to observe, wonder, and then to analyze it. It is a moment of blessed quietness when Earth is deserted and paradise regained. One cannot, perhaps dare not, be oneself but must fall into step with all the others. One is imprisoned within their banal patterns of routine, within a life without real awareness. If one gives oneself up wholly to the World, if one lets life’s trivialities or difficulties absorb it, this inward feeling may easily be lost. These moments must be caught as they come, or they will turn their back on us and be gone. The more eagerly one tries to hold the glimpse, the more anxiously one’s thoughts surround it, the more quickly it leaves one. Many have experienced the early beginnings of a glimpse but, failing to recognize it, have aborted it unwittingly by inattention to this delicate feeling. The personified principle of justice wants it to be clear that willful destruction of the Universe is a serious charge and not the only one that some may face. There is more. #RandolphHarris 11 of 20

When God granted people the power to live and they abuse His planet, Universe, and Earth, what are they doing for Him in return? They are refusing to give God the one thing He most desires. Love, in its essential and Earthly form. When we refuse to love God, it is a sin of pride on our parts. It is possible that the atom bomb might not only destroy Earth, but could also destroy the Universe. Some scientists believe the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Pearl Habour heated up the Earth and could eventually ignite the atmosphere and although this was not sudden, it may happen over centuries, which is why the planet is heating up. In continuing thus to examine facts from the viewpoint of right, no more solidity than truth would be found in the belief that the establishment of tyranny was voluntary; and it would be difficult to show the validity of a contract that would obligate only one of the parties, where all the commitment would be placed on one side with none on the other, and that would turn exclusively to the disadvantage of the one making the commitments. This odious system is quite far removed from being, even today, that of wise and good monarchs, and especially of the kings of American, as may been seen in various places in their edicts. Let it not be said therefore that the sovereign is not subject to the laws of one’s state, for the contrary statement is a truth of the law of nations, which flattery has on occasion attacked, but which good princes have always defended as a tutelary divinity of their states. How much more legitimate is it to say, with the wise Plato, that the perfect felicity of a kingdom is that a prince be obeyed by his subjects, that the prince obey the law, and that the law be right and always directed to the public good. #RandolphHarris 12 of 20

I will not stop to investigate whether, with liberty being the most notable of human’s faculties, one degrades one’s nature, places oneself on the level of uncivilized creatures enslaved by instinct, offends even one’s maker, when one unreservedly renounces the most precious of all one’s gifts, and allows oneself to commit all the crimes one forbids us to commit, in order to please a ferocious or crazed master; nor whether this subline work person should be more irritated at seeing one’s finest work destroyed rather than at seeing it dishonoured. No one can sell one’s liberty to the point of submitting oneself to an arbitrary power that treats one according to its fancy. For this would be selling one’s own life, of which one is not the master. I will merely ask by what right those who have not been afraid of debasing themselves to this degree have been able to subject their posterity to the same ignominy and to renounce for it goods that do not depend on their liberality, and without which life itself is burdensome to all who are worthy of it. Just as one transfers one’s goods to another by conventions and contracts, one can always divest oneself of one’s liberty in favour of someone. However, when that statement is considered, one may realize it is very bad reasoning; for, in the first place, the goods I give away become something utterly foreign to me, and it is a matter of indifference to me whether or not these goods are abused; but it is important to me that my liberty is not abused, and I cannot expose myself to becoming the instrument of crimes without making myself guilty of the evil I will be forced to commit. Moreover, since the right of property is merely the result of convention and human institution, every human can dispose of what one possesses as one sees fit. #RandolphHarris 13 of 20

Not every deity was famous. Among the gods, some were better known than others, and some were not known at all. Some seemed to have no background, no family or friends, no family tree or history, nothing except their godhood, such as it was. However, it is not the same for the essential gifts of nature such as life and liberty, which everyone is allowed to enjoy, and of which it is at least doubtful that one has the right to divest oneself. In giving up the one one degrades one’s being; in giving up the other one annihilates that being insofar as one can. And because no temporal goods can compensate for the one or the other, it would offend at the same time both nature and reason to renounce them, regardless of the price. However, even if one could give away one’s liberty as one does one’s goods, the difference would be very great for the children who enjoy the father’s goods, the difference would be very great for the children who enjoy the father’s goods only by virtue of a transmission of one’s rights; whereas, since liberty is a gift they receive from nature in virtue of being humans, their parents had no right to divest them of it. Thus, just as violence had to be done to nature in order establish slavery, nature had to be changed in order to perpetuate this right. And the jurists, who have gravely pronounced that the child of an enslaved woman is born a slave, have deiced, in other words that human is not born human. Thus it appears certain to me not only that governments did not begin with arbitrary power, which is but their corruption and extreme limit, and which finally brings them back simply to the law of the strongest, for which they were initially to have been the remedy; but also that even if they had begun thus, this power, being illegitimate by its nature, could not have served as a foundation for the rights of society, nor, as a consequence, for the inequality occasioned by social institutions. #RandolphHarris 14 of 20

People of faith have at least three reasons to be skeptical about efforts to test and calibrate effects of intercessory prayer—and to expect no significant prayer effect in those unaware they were being prayed for. The prayer concept being tested is more skin to magic than to prayer to an all-knowing Creator-God. In the biblical view, God underlies whole creation. God is not some little spiritual factor that occasionally deflects nature’s course, but the ground of all being. God works not in the shrinking gaps of what we do not yet understand, but in and through nature, including the healing ministries that led people of faith to introduce medicine and hospitals Worldwide. Thus, while Jesus’ model prayer teaches His followers to acknowledge their dependence on God for basic necessities (“our daily bread”), it does not view God as a celestial vending machine whose levers they pull with their prayers. Indeed, would the all-wise, all-know, all-loving God of the Bible be uninformed or uncaring apart from our prayers? Does the presumption that we creatures can pull God’s strings not violate biblical admonitions to recognize humbly our place as finite creatures? No wonder the faithful are counseled to offer prayers of adoration, praise, confession, and thanksgiving, as well as to ask for what shall (spiritually, if not materially) be given. Prayer is not an attempt to force God’s hand, but a humble acknowledgment of helplessness and dependence. Even for those who believe that God intervenes in response to prayer, there are practical reasons for expecting null effects: The “others prayers” factor: Given that 95 percent of Americans express belief in God, all patients undergoing cardiac bypass surgery will already be receiving prayer—by spouses, children, siblings, friends, colleagues, and fellow believers and/or congregants, if not by themselves. #RandolphHarris 15 of 20

Are these fervent prayers a mere “noise factor” above which the signal of additional prayers may rouse God? Does God follow a dose-response curve—more prayers, more responses? Does God count votes? Are the pleading, earnest prayers of patients and those who love them not sufficiently persuasive (if God needs to be informed or persuaded of our needs)? Are the distant prayers of strangers participating in an experiment also needed? The doubt factor: To be sure, some people of faith believe that prayers, uttered in believing faith, are potent. However, do they also believe that prayers called forth by a questioning scientist will be similarly effective? “God is not mocked”: During the great British prayer-test controversy, the devout recalled Jesus’ response to one of His temptations: “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” Reflecting on a proposal to test prayers for randomly selected preterm babies, do all such experiences come close to blasphemy. If the health outcomes of the prayed-for subjects turn out to be significantly better than for the others, the experimenter will have set up a situation in which God has, as it were, been made to show one’s hand. Any effort to prover prayer, the impossibility of empirical proof is a spiritual necessity lest a person begin to feel like a magician. Indeed, if this experiment were to show that numbers of intercessors matter—that distant strangers’ prayers boost recovery chances—might wealthy people not want, in hopes of gaining God’s attention, to pay others to pray for them? The evidence of history suggests that the prayers of finite humans do not manipulate God. If they could and did, how many droughts, floods, hurricanes, and plagues would have been averted? How many stillborn infants of children with disabilities would have been born healthy? And consider the Bible’s own evidence: How should the unanswered prayers of Job, Paul, and even Jesus (in petitioning that the cup might pass) inform a theology of prayer? If the rain falls on my wedding day does it mean I pray with too little faith—or that the rain falls both on those who believe and on those who do not? #RandolphHarris 16 of 20

Or does petitionary prayer instead connect us to God and His will for our lives? If so, should we therefore pray to God not as manipulative adolescents but as dependent preschoolers, whose living parents, already know their children’s needs, welcome the intimacy? Already we have results in from the arthritis experiment mentioned either. Hands-on healing prayer had very significant effects. Many patients exhibited decreased swelling of joints and reported greatly decreased pain. However, skeptics would surely view this as a demonstration of the mind’s own healing powers—a placebo effect. So what about the added effect of distant intercessory prayer? The honest if disappointed investigator, Dale Matthews, reports simply: “No significant effect from distant prayer was found.” And since writing these words, three more prayer experiments have been published. One “randomized, controlled trial of the effects of remote, intercessory prayer on outcomes in patients admitted to the coronary care unit” appeared in the Archives of Internal Medicine. In this study, 990 patients admitted to the Mid American Heart Institute at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri, were randomly divided into one group in which community volunteers offered four weeks of daily prayers for an uncomplicated speedy recovery. None of the patients had knowledge of the experiment, but all had previously indicated their belief in God and God’s responsiveness to prayers for healing. So it was believers in the power of prayer beseeching God on behalf of fellow believers. The result: length of stay in the coronary unit and in the hospital were unaffected by the prayer treatment, as were various specific complications such as cardiac arrest, hypertension, and pneumonia. However, the prayed-for patient did suffer about 10 percent fewer complications overall—a result that jus reached a conventional standard for assessing statistical significance. #RandolphHarris 17 of 20

Rejoice? Not if we compare this small-time prayer effect the big-time drug effect n other cardiac-care studies. Should our conclusion be that prayer is—if this result were to prove reliable—slightly effective, but that this God effect (if that is what it is) is minuscule compared with certain other medical treatments? Or would this radically misconceive how God, as the sustainer and upholder and creator of all good things, relates to the creation? In the other experiments with 799 coronary-care-unit patients, prayers for some patients by five people “had no significant effect on medical outcomes.” If all this testing and questioning of prayer and these meager results seems revolting and heretical, it may be reassuring to remember that warnings about false prayer come from believers as well as skeptics. There was no stronger critic of false piety than Jesus Christ. If it seems heretical to question the causal efficacy of prayer, is it not more heretical to think of God as a cosmic Santa Claus who grants our wishes if we are good? Is prayer not vulnerable to meeting the definition of superstitious magic—“acts which are only a means to a definite and expected later on”? When contrasted with religious acts, which are—“acts being themselves the fulfillment of their purpose”; it is clear that magic is a manipulative techniques and worship is an end in itself, something intrinsically worth doing. A human arrives more quickly at one’s own natural instincts and true desires after prayer. With every prayer one sheds some part of the artificial and false ones which habit, heredity, society, suggestion, and ignorance have imposed upon one. My seven years of daily prayers have had three interesting consequences apart from the body cleansing which prolonged prayer produce: first, it cleanses the soul and thoughts which are almost intuitive in its correctness. #RandolphHarris 18 of 20

Second, an immediacy of understanding which penetrates swiftly the deepest significance of a situation or experience; third, a heightened fluency in the use of words as instruments of expression. Prayer cleanses the body of accumulated poisons, prayer also cleanses the mind of accumulated errors. This it does by opening a way into the mind for new ideas and preparing it to receive truer ones less resistantly. Thus the fast moves a human away from where one is standing in one’s own light. It is a negative method of achieving beneficial results. There have been many cases, after undergoing the prayer purificatory regime solely for spiritual reasons, people have been pleasantly surprised to find that it also freed them from bodily ailments, death and even brought some back from the dead. However, never bargain with God. Understands we cannot make deals with God. We can only promise to repent, repent, as for forgiveness, praise Him, build our faith and ask for Grace. For instances, “God I am trying to change, please assist me in becoming more Christ like and heal (enter a name). I know it is by your grace that legions of souls and Worlds have been saved. Please grant us your blessing and grace. Amen.” Prayer will awaken old truths reborn under new names in spiritual, psychic, and physical matters. Let us think of Mother Earth, her rich bounty that will result from springtime, the golden corn and the seeds of harvest, all grown strong from Mother Earth, the spring rains, and the energy of Father Sky. It is time to consider healing: healing of ourselves, healing of a loved one, healing of adversaries for peace among nations, and healing of the harms done to Mother Earth. #RandolphHarris 19 of 20

Oh, Great Spirit, I pray for myself in order that I may be healed. Oh, Great Spirit, I pray for my close friend who is sick and needs help. Oh, Great Spirit, I pray for this World so that all these atomic weapons and other bad things that we point at each other will someday soon all be destroyed. I pray that adversaries will communicate and all of the mistrust will be healed. Oh, Great Spirit, I pray for the environment. I pray for its cleansing. And the renewal of our Mother Earth. O may our eyes witness Thy return to America. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who restorest Thy divine presence unto America. We thankfully acknowledge Thee, O Lord our God, our fathers’ God to all eternity. Our Rock art Thou, our Shield that saves through every generation. We give Thee thanks and we declare Thy praise for all Thy tender care. Our lives we trust into Thy loving hand. Our souls are ever in Thy charge; Thy wonders and Thy miracles are daily with us, evening, morn, and noon. O Thou who art all-good, whose mercies never fail us, Compassionate One, whose mercies never fail us, Compassionate One, whose lovingkindness never cease, we ever hope in Thee. These glimpses come at the most unexpected of times and in the most unexpected places. It is not possible to be dogmatic about their appearance and be correct at the same time. Reports have been received which reveal that they may come abruptly during the strain and pressure of business or professional activity, as well as during the relaxation of leisure hours, at the beginning, the idle, and the end of the day, during pleasurable periods or amid great suffering. The Overself’s take-over is not always the same but changes with the time and the occasion, the person and the place. It may be gentle, quiet, almost unmarked at first, or it may be like a tremendous force, commanding and irresistible. The experience may come on gently in moods of relaxation or flash abruptly after a period of emotional or intellectual tension. When all else fails—Gods Word will stand! Build your life on Jesus Christ—the only solid foundation. God has his ways of learning about the dreams of humankind, and he had this ability long before your invention of the camera. These are metaphysical snapshots of your dreams over your lifetime.  #RandolphHarris 20 of 20
