The bad news is if you hope to get all, you have to give up all; that is to say, you have to lose yourself, leaving no traces or tracks behind. “A good human will obtain favour from the LORD, but He will condemn a human who devises evil,” reports Proverbs 12.2. Know that love of self does more harm to you than all the calamities of the World. If I were to pick one such calamity, you would find it thriving, unbeknownst to you, among your everyday loves and affections. If your love has been pure, simple, and well ordered, you will not be held captive by material things. Do not look for what it is not allowed to have. Do not acquire what can impede your progress and deprive you of your interior freedom. It is amazing, is it not, that you do not, from the bottom of your heart, commit yourself to the Lord, in whom you can desire or have everything your soul should ever need. “However, while Joseph was there in prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favour in the eyes of the prison warden. So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there. The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did,” Genesis 39.20-23. Therefore it is important to discover how to experience more of God’s favour so one can live the American Dream. “God has crowned us with glory and honour,” reports Psalms 8.5. Wherefore, why consume yourself with false labour? Why weary yourself with worries that are not yours? #RandolphHarris 1 of 19
If you are always on the quest, if you simply have to have this convenience or that advantage, then you will be in an uproar ad nauseam. You will never be in quietude; in fact, you will be up to you bum in solicitude. Why? Because nothing is perfect. That is to say, in every enterprise some defect will flare, and in every endeavour some contrarian will say it cannot be done. Creepers and other wildly successful plants, therefore, do not really help; unfortunately, they choke all the life out of your spiritual garden. Pretty they may be for a time, but, eventually you will have to root them out. God wants to make your life easier. He wants to take you to a higher level and show you extraordinary things. This is not just about counting coin or amassing wealth It is also about honours and decorations and the inflated citations that go with them. All this stuff turns to dust as the World dies; John said as much in his First Letter (2.17). If it lacks spiritual fervour, your soul is poorly defended. To have fervour for God means that you are releasing faith and believing that God is currently assisting and want to increase His grace and blessing in your life because He is your Heavenly Father, and He loves you. Put up a monument to Peace with the World as foundation, and it will not stand for long. Erect n obelisk within, with God as base, and it will never stop pointing to the sky. You are a child of the Most High God and he has His Angels protecting you. Your Father created the entire Universe, and He has crowned you with favour. This grace and blessing from God makes people want to go out of their way to show your kindness and assist you with whatever you require. #RandolphHarris 2 of 19

You can change yourself, but you will not necessarily change yourself for the better. Try it, and see what happens. Changes are you will meet your same old self coming and going. Confirm me, O God, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, if I may echo the Psalmist. Strengthen the interior man, if I may echo the Ephesians. Please empty my hear from every useless solicitude and distress. Discourage me various desires from shopping for stuff, no matter how cheap or dear. Grant that I may see that everything is fading, if I may echo Ecclesiastes, and that I am fading with it. Nothing under the sun remains where it is. Everything is vanity and affliction of their spirit. God is the King of kings, and with this heritage, we can live with confidence and expect good things. While it is also important to remain humble, keep in mind this will help you receive preferential treatment because you are a child of God. When one starts to declare God’s greatness, one will be astonished by how people will go out of their way to help one. Oh, that I were wise as the person who knows this! Please grant me, O Lord, the Celestial knowledge, if I may echo the Wisdom of Solomon, to seek and king You in all things, to be wise and love You above everything, and to understand the rest, according to the order of Your wisdom, for what it is. Allow me to prudently decline the flatter and to patiently bear the slanderer. Why? Great wisdom it is for a person who has set sail on a spiritual voyage not to be swayed by, as Paul put it to the Ephesians, Doctrinal Hearsay or Daresay—Sirens both, meant to distract, then to destroy!—but to continue with some serenity on the charted course. Lord, help to me wake up every day and declare that no matter how the situation appears, I have the favour of God. #RandolphHarris 3 of 19

Lord, please assist me in staying in an attitude of faith. I thank You, Father, that I have Your favour, and that I have favour with other people not because of who I am but because of who You are, and that I am Your child. When someone trashed me in public or torches my ears, please allow me to stay humble, and think less of myself than the slanderer thinks of me. If I am already treading the downward-inward path, I will not pay much attention to whatever slanders come flying in my direction. When times are bad, it is no small prudence to keep my peace, that is to say, to turn myself toward God—that is how His John put it (16.33). That way I will not be knocked off my course by some outrageous judgment about my person or conduct. My you help me, God, not to look for my peace to come from the mouths of humans. Heir animadversions, whether for good or for bad, do not make me either a better or worse person. Just where is True Peace and True Glory? Should it not be in God? Pleasantries, unpleasantries, it really does not matter. Either way, the true Devout will enjoy great peace. Out of unruly love and ungainly fear, there arises every inquietude of heart, every distraction of sense. The Glimpse that comes from God provides overwhelming confirmation of the belief in a divine principle, absolute certainty that it rules the World, and renewed assurance that one day all humans will obey its benign prompting towards goodness and wisdom. These moments of spiritual insight give one more than much study could give one. One learns then that there is another part of oneself not the ego which has hitherto dominated one’s thoughts and days—a delightful beautiful unpressured part. One knows then what peace of mind really means. One sees that one has lived only as a fraction of oneself, and even that have been made miserable by inner or outer friction. #RandolphHarris 4 of 19

It is a mysterious condition of the mind, when the normal doubts and hesitations vanish, when certitude is complete and understanding direct, when one knows that truth has visited one and feels that peace has held one. One perceives that this is a new kind of experience, a new way of knowing, a new level of happiness, a new quality of life. The proper use of mystic experience is as a counter to the merely intellectual and theoretical stages which usually come before such experience. With the coming of this climax one may experience a profound sense of liberation, which later justifies itself, as the problems which had beset one’s mind slowly begin to dissolve and vanish under its wise tuition. One may think of Keats’ joyful lines: “Then I felt like some watcher of the skies when a new planet swims into his ken.” For there will be present all the magnificent exhilaration, the intellectual intoxication which is born when the mind alights upon new-found truth guidance or inspiration. One who as tasted the immeasurable joy of the Overself’s peace will not care to shrink back again into the little self’s confines. For one will know then that the Infinite, the Void, the Transcendent—call what one will the loss of one’s ego—is not a loss of happiness but an unlimited magnification of it. Each glimpse generates afresh confidence in the existence and wisdom of the World-Mind. One now has a revelation which throws its vivid light on humans, their lives, characters, and histories. There is now a spacious meaning in existence. The Glimpse may be different from any experience one has known, as well as overwhelming in its several implications. However, if one has been exposed to the full power, one will trust it, and can hardly do otherwise. It is as if one’s inner being clears up, becomes transparent, and obscurities covering one’s essence roll away. #RandolphHarris 5 of 19
The Glimpse is like light being enkindled in the mind. It is the will to believe and the determination that backs up its belief. We need a vision of the things to be light up the rough pathway of the things that are. Without it no great work would be done. If the glimpse is accompanied by a revelation, then one will understand more on the particular subject or subjects it concerns than one has ever understood before. Each glimpse brings a grace. It may be a message or an awakening, a revelation or a warning, a reconciliation or a confirmation, a strengthening or a mellowing. Sometimes the mind slips into a dazed beatitude as Sarah Winchester’s did when she received the blueprints for her mansion in the blue séance room of mystical enlightenment. Here in the heart is He who witnesses to your divine identity, and in the head comes the confirmation. Such mystical experiences will open one to the true meaning of one’s humanhood. In these brief but glorious moments we discover that we are divine beings. If most of us are worse than the front we present to our neighbours, all of us are better than they think through our afflation with divinity. In these hallowed moments, one learns one’s essential oneness with the Universal Mind. Unless a genuinely scientific and metaphysical basis is found, it will be discovered, as one famous healing cult has already discovered, that although cures are effected which cannot be doubted, many of these cures are not permanent. The principle which is the key to such healing—if it is to be real healing and not a temporary suppression of symptoms—and which overrides all others is the surrender of the conscious will, the personal will, to a higher power behind all bodies. The cure is not effected and cannot be effected by the patient oneself or by any professional healer who may be employed. It is done only by the Overelf itself, which means that it is essentially a bestowal of grace. #RandolphHarris 6 of 19

Now grace is an active force, not a mere intellectual thought or emotional attitude. It is the cosmic willpower, or what Indians called kundalini. This bestowal in turn requires that not merely the body alone be touched, but also the mind. Hence a cure which is genuine and permanent will always involve to some extent a mental re-adjustment, a correction of outlook, even an ethical conversion. Those who do not understand the Overself’s workings expect it always to manifest at all—in all its naked purity. If they desire healing, they think that the Overself’s help can show itself only in a direct spiritual healing, for instance. The truth is that they may get the cure from a purely physical medium, like a fast, a diet, or medication; yet that which roused them to seek this particular medium or gave it its successful result was the Overself. Jesus’ primary intention was to heal the inner man, to promote a directional change in one’s thought and feeling, to divert one from a sinful to a righteous attitude toward life, and to convert one from spiritual indifference to spiritual enthusiasm. The healing of the body was but a byproduct and took place only after these inner processes had been successfully carried out. When the higher elements in a humans’ character got these better of one’s lower ones, the victory was followed by, and symbolized in, a return of health to the sick body. It was a visible sign of the reality of the invisible healing. If the sufferers had not previously felt His greatness, repented of their former way of life, asked forgiveness, and resolved to become righteous, Jesus could not have cured the physical sickness. The Gospels record the cases of those who were able to do this; they do not record the cases of the far larger number who could not and whose bodily maladies therefore remained uncured. Most readers erroneously believe that Jesus could heal any and every person. Nobody can do that because nobody can force faith, conversion, penitence, moral evolution, and spiritual aspiration into a stubborn humans’ heart. #RandolphHarris 7 of 19

There is a further factor in Jesus’ healing. They were often accompanied by the proclamation that the patient’s sins were forgiven one. This means first, that the aforesaid prerequisite conditions had been established and second, that the humans’ Overself had intimated its gracious cancellation of the particular bad destiny which had expressed itself in the sickness. The forgiveness came through Jesus as a medium; it did not originate in Him. Those who believe that Jesus personally could unburden all humans’ evil fate, err. One could do it only in those cases were a humans’ own higher self willed it. Jesus then became a medium for its grace. The healing does no come from the healer oneself; it comes through one. What one does is to prepare conditions rendering it possible for this to happen. However, this is no guarantee that the Overself will necessarily make use of them every time. We eagerly seek to be relieved of sickness or trouble, but where relief is followed by a feeling of relationship to the Overself, we have gained something far more valuable than we originally sought. When every form of available or affordable physical treatment—the unorthodox as well as the orthodox—has been exhausted without success, it is time to try spiritual healing. For the desperate it is the last hope. The actual cure is so swift in time and so unethical in method that one may be seized with the most exhilarating astonishment. Genuine cures are quite possible and valid. The person responsible for it may have been used by the higher self of the sufferer as an actual instrument of spiritual healing. So powerful is the force of suggestions implanted from outside that a human may be exercising the gift of healing direct from one’s own Soul yet one will believe, and believe firmly, that one is exercising and deriving it from the spirit of a dead man. #RandolphHarris 8 of 19

Spiritual healing cannot be successfully practiced by anybody who has merely pocked up its jargon and intellectually familiarized oneself with its ideology. It can be successfully practiced only by one who has entered into the consciousness of, and surrendered one’s ego to, the divine spirit within oneself. If, when the process of the quest are not definitely directed towards the eradication of disease, they are still successful in contributing to such eradication, how much more successful can they be when they are quite definitely directed toward it! This presence whose contact is directly felt has healing values emotionally. It frees one from frustrations and alienations. “I am not a healer. Jesus is the healer. I am only the little heiress who opens the door to nowhere and says, ‘Come in.’”—Sarah Winchester, in explanation of her hundreds of miraculous cures. The spirit can operate to ameliorate bodily ills directly and internally or indirectly through an external agent or medium. The latter does not replace but only co-operates with or is used by the spirit. As this Spirit-Energy passes through the human, one feels dynamized, empowered in some direction, inwardly or physically or both together. One understands well enough that this power is not one’s own, that it must be ascribed to the Overself, and that practicing humility while using it is one’s best protection against the sin of pride. That which is Heavenly is also healing. The divine self cannot be aristocratically ordered by its lowly offspring to do this or that, although it may be humbly implored to do so. The ego cannot impose its will. The attunement of humans’ mind to the Universal Mind, of one’s heart to the fundamental love behind things, is capable of producing various effect. One of them maybe the healing of bodily ills. #RandolphHarris 9 of 19
What makes transference particularly interesting is that it grows out of the situation rather than the qualities of the analyst. This concept was the result of clinical observation. Dr. Freud found that analysands develop a very strong bond to the person of the analyst during the treatment, a bond which is in itself of a complex nature. It is a blend of love, admiration, attachment; in what is called “negative transference” it is a blend of hate, opposition and aggression. If the analyst and the analysand are of different genders, the essence of transference can be described easily as a case of the analysand’s falling in love with the analyst (If the analyst was of the same gender, in the case of homosexual analysands, the same would). The analyst becomes the object of love, admiration, dependency and intense jealousy to the extent that anyone else is considered a possible rival. In other words, the analysand behaves exactly like a person who has fallen in love. No analyst can be so stupid or unattractive as not to produce this effect on an otherwise intelligent person who would not care to look at one if one was not one’s analyst. While this transference can be found in relation to many physicians, Dr. Freud was the first to pay full attention to this phenomenon and to analyze its nature. He came to the conclusion that the analysand in the analytic process developed many feelings which one has as a child toward one of the parents. One explained the phenomenon of the loving or (hostile) attachment to the figure of the analyst as a repetition of the earlier attachment to father or mother. In other words, the feelings toward the analyst were “transferred” from the original object to the other person of the analyst. An analysis of transference made it possible, so Dr. Freud thought, to recognize—or reconstruct—what the attitude of the infant had been toward one’s parents. #RandolphHarris 10 of 19
It was the child in the analysand who experienced one’s transferred feelings so intensely that it was often difficult for one to recognize that one did not love (or hate) the real person of the analyst but the parents who the analyst represented for one. Until Dr. Freud, nobody had care to investigate the affective attitude of a patient toward the physician. Usually the physicians accepted with satisfaction that the patients “adored” them, and if they did not, often disliked them for not being “good patients.” In fact transference is one factor conducive to the professional sickness of analysts, namely the confirmation of their narcissism by receiving the affectionate admiration of their analysands regardless of the degree to which they deserve it. Psychoanalysts mention that the analyst should be a blank piece of paper for the analysand so that all reactions to the analyst can be considered as expressions of transference rather than expressions of one’s feelings toward the real person of the analyst. The latter reasoning is of course an illusion. Just to look at a person, to sense the quality of one’s handshake, to hear one’s voice, to notice one’s fragrance, to see one’s whole attitude toward you when one is speaking, is plenty of material to enable you to know a lot about the analyst, and the idea that the analyst remains as unknown as one is invisible, is very naïve. The transference phenomenon, namely the voluntary dependence of a person on other persons in authority, a situation in which an individual feels helpless, in need of a leader of stronger authority, ready to submit to one’s authority, is one of the most frequent and most important phenomena in social life, quite beyond the individual family and the analytic situation. #RandolphHarris 11 of 19

Anybody who is willing to see can discover the tremendous role that transference plays socially, politically and in religious life. One only has to look a the faces in a crows that applaud a charismatic leader like Elvis, Aaliyah, Beyonce, or Shawn Mendes, and one see the same expression of blind awe, adoration, affection or something in fac which transforms the face from its humdrum daily expression into that of a passionate believer. It does not even have to be a leader with the voice or the stature of a Jay Z or with the intensity of Britney Spears. If one studies the faces of Americans who are looking at presidential candidates, or, more obvious examples, at the president oneself, one finds the same particular facial expression, and expression that could almost be called religious. As in the psychoanalytic transference this has almost nothing to do with the real, human qualities of the admired person. The office itself or even simply a uniform makes one into a “worshipable” person. Our whole social system rests upon this extraordinary effect of people who have appeal, to a greater or lesser degree. The transference in the analytic situation and the worship of leaders in adult life are not different: they have their basis in the sense of helplessness and powerlessness of the child which lead to its dependence on the parents, or in the transference situation on the analyst as a substitute for the parents. Indeed who could deny that the infant could not live for a day without being care for, fed, protected by mother or her substitute? Whatever narcissistic illusions the child may have, the fact remains that with regard to its total situation in the World it is helpless and hence longing for a helper. What is often overlooked, however, is the fact that the adult is helpless too. #RandolphHarris 12 of 19

In many situations which the child could not manage, the adult knows what to do but is, in the last analysis, also extremely helpless. One is confronted with natural and social forces which are so overwhelming that in many cases one is as helpless against them as the infant is in one’s World. True enough one has learned to defend oneself in many ways. One can form ties with others, so as to be better equipped to withstand attacks and dangers, but all this does not alter the fact that one remains helpless in one’s fight against natural dangers, in the fight against better armed and more powerful social classes and nations, the fight against disease, and finally against death. One has better means of defense but is also much more aware of the dangers than the child is. If follows that the alleged contrast between the helpless child and the powerful adult is to a large extent fictious. The adult, like the child, is longing for somebody who could make one feel certain, secure, safe, and it is for that reason that one is willing and prone to worship figures that are, or readily lend themselves to being considered saviours and their helpers even if in reality they are half mad. The social transference born out of the same sense of helplessness as the psychoanalytic transference is one of the most important social phenomena. Even though humans are helpless not only as a child but as an adult, this adult helplessness can be overcome. In a society which is rationally organized, which does no need to confuse a person’s mind in order to deceive one about the real situation, in a society that encourages rather than discourages a person’s independence and rationality, the sense of helplessness will have disappeared and with it the need for social transference. #RandolphHarris 13 of 19

A society whose members are helpless needs idols. This need can only be overcome to the extent to which humans are fully away of reality and of one’s own forces. The insight that one must eventually die does not have to make one helpless because this knowledge too represents a piece of reality which one can cope with. Applying the same principle to the analytic situation I suggest that the more real the analyst is to the analysand and the more one loses one’s phantomlike character, the easier it is for the analysand to give up the posture of helplessness and to cope with reality. However, it is not desirable and even necessary that the patient in the analytic situation regress to a state of childhood, so that one can express those desires and anxieties one is taught to repress as a condition of being accepted as an adult? It is, but with an important qualification. If the analysand during the analytic hour becomes a child together, one might as well be dreaming. One would lack judgement and independence which one needs in order to be able to understand the meaning of what one is saying. The analysand during the analytic session constantly oscillates between the infantile and the adult existence; on this very process rests the efficacy of the analytic procedure. Behind all this confusion and turmoil, a new Third Wave family system is coalescing, based on a diversity of family forms and more varied individual roles. This de-massification of the family opens many new personal options. Third Wave civilization will not try to stuff everyone willy-nilly into a single family form. For his reason the emergent family system could free each of us to find one’s own niche, to select or create a family style or trajectory attuned to individual needs. However, before anyone can perform a celebratory dance, he agonies of transition must be dealt with. #RandolphHarris 14 of 19
Caught in the crack-up of the old, with the new system not yet in place, millions find a higher level of diversity bewildering rather than helpful. Instead of being liberated, they suffer from overchoice and are wounded, embittered, plunged into a sorrow and loneliness intensified by the very multiplicity of their options. To make the new diversity work for us instead of against us, we will need changes on many levels as once, from morality and taxes to employment practices. In the field of values we need to begin removing the unwarranted guilt that accompanies the breakup and restructuring of families. Instead of exacerbating unjustified guilt, the media, the church, the courts, and the political system should be working to lower the guilt level. The decision to live outside a nuclear family framework should be made easier, not harder. Values change more slowly, as a rule, than social reality. Thus we have not yet developed the ethic of tolerance for diversity than a de-massified society will both require and engender. Raised under Second Wave conditions, firmly taught that one kind of family is “normal” and others somehow suspect, is not “deviant,” vast numbers remain intolerant of the new variety in family styles. Until that changes, the pain of transition will remain unnecessarily high. In economic and social life, individuals cannot enjoy the benefits of widened family options so long as laws, tax codes, welfare practices, school arrangements, housing codes, and even architectural forms all remain implicitly biased towards the Second Wave family. They take little account of the special needs of women who work, men who stay home to take care of their children, of bachelors, and “spinsters” (hateful term!), or of between-marrieds, or “aggregate families,” or widows living alone together. All such groupings have been subtly or openly discriminated again in Second Wave societies. #RandolphHarris 15 of 19

Even while it piously praised housekeeping, Second Wave civilization denied dignity to the person performing that task. Housekeeping is productive, indeed, crucial, work, and needs to be recognized as part of the economy. To assure the enhanced status of housekeeping, whether done by women or by men, by individuals or by groups working together, we will have to pay wages or impute economic value to it. In the out-of-the-home economy, employment practices in any places are still based on the obsolete assumption that the man is the primary provider or breadwinner and the wife a supplemental, expendable earner, instead of a fully independent participant in the labour market. By easing seniority requirements, by spreading flextime, by opening part-time opportunities, we not only humanize production, we adapt it to the needs of a multistyle family system. Today there are many indications that the work system is beginning to accommodate itself to the new diversity of family arrangements. Shortly after Citibank, one of the largest banks in the United States of America, began to promote women to managerial jobs, it found that its male executives were marrying their new colleagues. The bank had a long-standing rule barring the employment of couples. It had to change that rule. According to Business Week, the “company couple” is now flourishing with benefits both for company and for family life. It is likely that before long we will go far beyond such minor adaptations. We may see demands not merely for the hiring of “company couples” but whole families to work together as a production and promotion team. Because this was inefficient in the Second Wave factory does not mean it is necessarily inappropriate today. No one knows how such policies would work out but, as in other family mater, we ought to encourage, perhaps even publicly fund, small-scale experiments. #RandolphHarris 16 of 19
Such measures could help us ease our way into tomorrow, minimizing for millions the pain of transition. However, whether painful or not, a new family system is emerging to supplant the one that characterized the Second Wave past. This new family system will be a core institution in the novel socio-sphere taking shape alongside the new techno-sphere and info-sphere. It is part of the act of social creation by which our generation is adapting to and constructing a new civilization. Nuns are taught not to rush across a room nor to run along a corridor. A paced, slowed walk is the proper way. This helps recollection, remembrance, self-control, and a growth of inner calm. Entering a room, going to a chair, or walking in a street should not be done by a soul-guided man too quickly or too violently. It is ungraceful and unspiritual in appearance, while disturbing mentally. Gentle, leisurely movements are more suitable. Even one’s bodily movements must be brought into conformity with one’s mental attitude. One’s gait in walking must be brought frequently to conscious attention and harmonized with the deliberations, the patience, the equilibrium, and the uprightness which, ideally, exist there. When we remember that so much of the day we are doing these very things—sitting, standing, walking, breathing, resting, or sleeping—the importance of doing them in the right way may be realized. They are functions which may easily be done in the wrong way, and continue so for years, and even for a whole lifetime. Whether it be to practice prayers or to fall and lie asleep, the position of the body should be such as to prevent it from becoming cramped or taut. #RandolphHarris 17 of 19
Shall the mystic walk with anaemic face and flat feet through life and let only the materialist walk with forceful steps and resolute mien? The New World physical exercises seem designed to create bulging muscles, an over-expanded chest, and special athletic skills. It is enough for the healthful development of a blanaced human being to bring the muscles no father than the point of easy and instant obedience, to make the body perform its varied functions adequately and gracefully. Whereas the New World gymnastic exercises are intended to develop muscle, the Old World exercises are intended to develop control. All physical techniques have an indirect helpfulness but their value should not be overrated, as the advocates and teachers of these techniques almost always do. They misplace their emphasis on the body and on the tricks it is able to perform. Only detail of the human organism deserves their greater emphasis and that is intuition. Let the reeds pander to the wayward wind, I am the mountain range that determines the course of the wind. Let the seaweed flatter the inconstant tide, I am the moon that controls the tide’s ebb and flow. Let the magnet succumb to the unbending north and south, I am the greater Earth: Only I have directions. Please save us for the sake of Abraha cast into flames of fire; for the sake of Isaac who was bound upon the wood and the fire; for the sake of Jacob who wrestled with a prince of fire; for the sake of Moses who was received on high and exalted as the Angels of fire; for the sake of Aaron Thy representatives who was amid the Angels of fire; for the sake of the tabernacle canopied beneath curtains and a cloud of fire; for the sake of the fair mountain whereon Thou didst descend in fire; for the sake of the beloved habitation which Thou didst love more than the Heavens of fire; for the sake of Moses who abode in prayer until the sinking of the fire; for the sake of Aaron who with fiery censer allayed Thy displeasures with fire; for the sake of Phineas who burned with a jealousy great as fire. #RandolphHarris 18 of 19
This was done for the sake of Joshua who waved his hand and there fell stones of fire; for the sake of Samuel who placed upon the altar a suckling lamb, an offering consumed by fire; for the sake of David who stood on the threshing-floor and won grace by his offerings of fire; for he sake of Solomon who interceded in the Temple-court till there descended fire; for the sake of Elijah who rose and was received loft with chariot and horses of fire; for the sake of Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah who were cast into the furnace of fire; for the sake of Daniel who behold many myriads of ministering Angels and streams of fire; for the sake of the desolations of Thy city, burnt with fire;—O do Thou save us. Save us for the sake of the generations of Judah’s princes whom Thou wilt purify as a refining furnace of fire. O, Eternal, we beseech Thee, please save us now. Saviour of mighty ones that dwelt with Thee in Lud, the land whence Thou didst set them free; so save Thou us! As Thou didst save together God and nation, the people singled out for God’s salvation; so save Thou us! The host of Thy redeemed, with manifold Angelic hosts were saved by Thee of old. So save Thou us! From bondage grim Thy power brought forth the pure, Thou, Gracious One, didst all their grief endure! So save Thou us! They passed between the deep divided sea; and with them for their guide, the light from Thee. So save Thou us! “He saved” : Thy stock with joyful singing told; then saved was He, who gave them birth of old. So save Thou us! “And I will bring you out,” the mandate said: “And I went out with you,” the mystics read. So save Thou us! “And I will bring you out,” the mandate said: “And I went out with you,” the mystics read. So save Thou us! Thy sons with circling step, (their guardian Thou!) Around Thine altar bore the willow bough. So save Thou us! Thine Ark was won by marvels from the foe, Philistia, sinful, by Thy wrath laid low. So save Thou us! And with Thy banished throngs to Babylon journeyed in love Thy presence, Gracious One! So save Thou us! Helper of Jacob’s captive tribes of yore, return, and Jacob’s exiled tents restore, and save Thou us! #RandolphHarris 19 of 19
