People are always blaming their circumstances. However, you are free to choose, but the choices you make today will determine what you will have, be and do in the future of your life. Belief is that knowledge that we can do something. There are to secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. It is clear that the nucleic acid mechanisms for the control of growth and reproduction that have been described to this point contain a number of imperfections. For example, the existence in the cell of several different types of floating molecules with the same arrangement of unpaired bases at the hairpin bend would permit the same kind of surface-bound nucleic acid molecule to control the assembly of more than one kind of array of parasitic molecular fragments. The same result could arise from certain kinds of interferences among the floating molecules: the early attachment of one such molecule at a complementary region of the surface-bound nucleic acid might render impossible the later attachment of another floating molecule if suitable conjugation of its “connection” bases should require that it occupy almost the same position as the earlier arrival. Because of the high probability that only one of the resulting arrays would lead to the formation of a complex molecule that would be useful in the metabolism of the host cell, this kind of architectural unpredictability would usually result in lowering the survival of the associated mechanisms. Similarly, in the geometry of the alignment of parasitic fragments there would appear to be extensive opportunities for inefficiency. Depending on the exact three-dimensional configurations of the floating nucleic acid molecules, the successive parasitic fragments that need to combine to form the complex product molecule might be twisted or displaced relatively to one another; this could greatly diminish the probability that they would make the necessary linkages. #RandolphHarris 1 of 18

 However, these are just the kinds of problems that evolution must have found it easy to solve. For by the slow but inexorable workings of natural selection the initially crude and imperfect processes would have been gradually refined. Improvement in the ability of the floating molecules to align their parasitic fragments for ease of coupling probably started, for example, in an accidental change or “mutation” in the structure of the one of the floating molecules of some individual. If the change was a lucky one, it would have caused floating molecule to hold the parasitic fragment it carried in a better position or orientation for linkage with its neighbours. As a result, the host individual would have grown more rapidly and produced more progeny; the new descendants, possessing the improved nucleic and molecule, would in turn have thrived by comparison with their less well-endowed fellows. Ultimately the new species would have displaced the old; the modified kind of nucleic acid would have become “standard equipment.” We can even trace at least part of the evolutionary development that has tended to reduce the architectural unpredictability tht would have resulted from competition of different types of floating molecules, would in turn have thrived by comparison with their less well-endowed fellows. Ultimately the new species would have displaced the old’ the modified kind of nucleic acid would have become “standard equipment.” We can even trace at least part of the evolutionary development that has tended to reduce the architectural unpredictability that would have resulted from competition of different types of floating molecules for affiliation with overlapping bases of the stretched-out molecules. Bishop, Leahy, and Schweet, of the City of Hope in Los Angeles, and Dintzis, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, discovered an interesting refinement in the processes involved when floating and surface-bound molecules come together. #RandolphHarris 2 of 18

Using radioactively tagged amino acid components, these investigators were able to show that the floating molecules attached themselves one at a time along the surface-bound molecule, moving from one end to the other—in order like strung beads. It therefore appears that in modern cells one end of the long surface-bound nucleic acid molecule carries an arrangement of electric charge that interacts with part of the appropriate floating molecule so as to provide an especially tight bond for its attachment. In turn, once the appropriate floating molecule attaches itself tightly to this end position of the surface-bound molecule, its presence results in increasing the strength with which the next floating molecule can be attached to the growing structure, and so on. In addition to eliminating some of the possibilities for manufacture of the “wrong” parasitic molecule, this refinement, through the additional strength of the connections between surface-bound and floating molecules, enhances the ability of the floating molecules, enhances the ability of the floating molecules to displace “impurities” tenuously attached to the surface-bound template. Thus, by means of countless small evolutionary steps, the nucleic acid mechanisms have been refined until little remains today of the erraticism and inefficiency that must once have characterized their fumbling architectural efforts. Although experimental evidence is less than complete, there is reason to believe that all the floating nucleic acid molecules that appear in modern organisms are well designed in the sense that they couple tightly to the structure provided by the surface-bound and previously attached floating molecules and position their parasitic fragments properly for easy linkage with their neighbours. In addition, modern combinations of floating and surface-bound nucleic acid molecules appear to be unambiguously coded in the sense that a surface-bound molecule of specified base sequence always directs the formation of one and only one kind of parasitic complex molecule. #RandolphHarris 3 of 18

One of the important evolutionary developments that occurred somewhere along the line was the appearance in single-celled organisms of a division of effort between the two types of nucleic acid, RNA and DNA. In modern organisms it is only DNA that exhibits the two-stage self-reproduction process described in past reports. For the more part, this is carried out in the principle cellular “inclusion,” the nucleus (recent work has revealed that a small amount of DNA activity also occurs in other cellular inclusions). In fact, this DNA never leaves the nucleus. Instead, the DNA molecules manufacture complementary RNA molecules, which then leave the nucleus and carry out in the surrounding cellular regions—the cytoplasm—the architectural activities that we have previously considered. The base sequence in an RNA molecule manufactured in this way is, of course, determined by the base sequence of the generation DNA molecule, with the A, G, C, and T bases of the DNA “template” matched by U, C, G, and A bases, respectively, along the backbone of the RNA “product.” The formation of RNA depends upon a highly sophisticated type of catalytic action. The DNA molecules in the nucleus are always double stranded (except for short intervals when they are reproducing themselves). From time to time a catalytic molecule attaches itself to the double-stranded DNA and breaks some of the hydrogen bonds so as to spread apart a section of the two strands. This permits nucleotides appropriate to RNA to aggregate to one (only one!) of the separated strands. However, as this happens, the changing electric forces cause the catalytic molecule to move along the DNA, successively separating new regions of the double molecule. This, in turn, permits the newly exposed part of the active strand of DNA to attract additional nucleotides and add new segments to the matching RNA molecule. Meanwhile, as the catalyst and the site of active RNA synthesis move along the double-stranded DNA molecule, the separated strands close in again behind the action, stripping off the newly formed RNA and restoring the double-stranded configuration of the DNA. #RandolphHarris 4 of 18

In terms of our speculations as to the origins of the nucleic acid mechanisms, such complex processes must be considered to be the result of extensive evolutionary refinements that make of the modern cell a much more advanced organism than the late coacervate/early cellular structures we have parts of moderns cells (nucleus and cytoplasm in most cells; less pronounced but nonetheless important structural details in bacteria and other primitive organisms) contributes to the sophistication of the nucleic acid mechanisms by facilitating differences in the catalytic and other chemical content of different parts of the cellular fluid. The nature of the processes connecting DNA and RNA gives rise to descriptive names for the surface-bound and floating RNA of our discussion. The first type is commonly called messenger RNA in recognition of its role of transcribing from a DNA molecule in the nucleus a “message” determining the architecture of parasitic molecule whose assembly is ultimately to be directed by the RNA molecule. The accepted term for what we have called floating RNA is transfer RNA (sometimes also called soluble RNA because of the ability of these short molecules to remain in fluid suspension) in recognition of its roles in transferring parasitic molecular fragments into ordered alignment under the direction of a molecule of messenger RNA. It is, of course, the key importance of the nucleus as the habitat of the DNA and the place of manufacture of the RNA that originally gave rise to the term “nucleic acid.” And of the two kinds of nucleic acid, the division of effort we have just described assigns to DNA a sort of primacy. The loss or destruction of any of the RNA molecules can be compensated for by the generation of new RNA under the architectural supervision of the DNA. However, the cell can never compensate for the absence of any of the types of DNA molecule on which its metabolism depends. These molecules must come to the cell from its parent in the course of cell division. #RandolphHarris 5 of 18

Subsequently, only the numbers of DNA molecules of the available types may increase by the duplication process we have studied; new types may increase by the duplication process we have studied; new types cannot be formed (except, of course, by an occasional accidental mutation). Clearly it is DNA, not RNA, that contains in the base patterns of its molecules the original book of instructions for the chemistry of the cell. However, of all that evolutionary refinements that we can deduce must have taken place in the nucleic acid mechanisms one seems to have overshadowed all others in its importance. This far-reaching development consisted of a specialization in the nature of the parasitic complex molecules for whose architecture the nucleic acid mechanisms were responsible. With the passage of time the specific structures of the controlling DNA molecules in the nucleus and of the resulting messenger and transfer RNA in the cytoplasmic “factory” controlled by the nucleic acid mechanisms came to manufacture only one general class of product. This class of product consists in its entirety of protein material—primarily of protein materials having special catalytic properties. These protein catalysts, called enzymes, play a key role in the metabolism of all modern living organisms. In order to comprehend the strength of the tendency that impelled the forces of natural selection to eliminate over products of the nucleic acid mechanisms in favour of enzymes, we must first learn something of the nature of these protein catalysts and of the powerful role they play in life processes. For now, keep in mind, tomorrow is the most important thing in life. It comes to us at midnight very clean. It is perfect when it arrives, and it puts itself it our hands and hopes we have learned something from yesterday. #RandolphHarris 6 of 18

Biological approaches may be used to help people withdraw from substances, abstain from them, or simply maintain their level of use without further increases. As with the other forms of treatment, biological approaches alone rarely bring long-term improvement, but they can be helpful when combined with other approaches. Detoxification is a systematic and medically supervised withdrawal from a drug. Some detoxification programs are offered on an outpatient basis. Others are located in hospitals and clinics and may also offer individual and group therapy, a “full-service” institutional approach that has become popular. One detoxification approach is to have clients withdraw gradually from the substance, taking smaller and smaller doses until they are off the drug completely. A second detoxification strategy is to give clients other drugs that reduce the symptoms of withdrawal. Antianxiety drugs, for example, are sometimes used to reduce severe alcohol withdrawal reactions such as delirium tremens and seizures. Detoxification programs seem to help motivated people withdraw from drugs. However, for people who are not motivated or those who fail to receive psychotherapy after withdrawal, relapse rates tend to be high. After successfully stopping a drug, people must avoid falling back into a pattern of abuse or dependence. As an assistant to resisting temptation, some people with substance-related disorders are given antagonist drugs, which block or change the effects of the addictive drug. Disulfiram (Antabuse), for example, is often given to people who are trying to stay away from alcohol. By itself a low dose of this drug seems to have few negative effects; but because disulfiram interferes with the body’s metabolism of alcohol, a person who drinks alcohol while taking disulfiram will experience intense nausea, vomiting, blushing, fasting heart rate, dizziness, and perhaps fainting. People taking disulfiram are less likely to drink alcohol because they know the terrible reactions that awaits them should they have even one drink. Disulfiram has proved helpful, but again only with people who are motivated to take it as prescribed. #RandolphHarris 7 of 18

Narcotic antagonists, such as naloxone and naltrexone, are sometime used to treat people who are dependent on opioids. These drugs attach to endorphin receptor sites throughout the brain and make it impossible for the opioids to have their usual effect. Without the rush or high, continued drug use becomes pointless. Although narcotic antagonists have been helpful—particularly in emergencies, to rescue people from an overdose of opioids—some clinicians consider them too dangerous for regular treatment of opioid dependence. These antagonists must be given very carefully because of their ability to throw a person with an addiction into severe withdrawal. In recent years, so-called partial antagonists, narcotic antagonists that produce less severe withdrawal symptoms, have been developed. Recent studies indicate that narcotic antagonists may also be useful in the treatment of alcohol and cocaine dependence. In some studies, for example, the narcotic antagonist naltrexone has helped reduce cravings for alcohol. Why should narcotic antagonists, which operate at the brain’s endorphin receptors, help with alcoholism, which has been tied largely to activity at GABA sites? The answer may lie in the reward center of the brain. If various drugs eventually stimulate the same pleasure pathway, it seems reasonable that antagonists for one drug may, in a roundabout way, affect the impact of other drugs as well. Moving on, at an underprivileged school in Harlem, they used to test the intelligence of all the children at two-years intervals. Researchers found that every two years each advancing class came out ten points lower in “native intelligence.” That is, the combined efforts of home influencing and school education, a powerful combination, succeeded in making the children significantly less well-educated year by years; if they had a few more years of compulsory home ties and compulsory education, all would end up as gibbering idiots. #RandolphHarris 8 of 18

In this same school a new principal, with a better staff, more personal attention to the kids, and more progressive methods—and also willing to give one’s own time for social work among the parents—has reversed the trend. One method to remedy stupidity that he swears by is to invite the free expression of criticism and hostility, exempli gratis, “Write a composition telling why you hate your father—why you hate school—why you hate me.” We have talked much about celibacy and in a religious context. However, not all people choose celibacy for religious reasons. Some women and men choose celibacy because they simply have a strong preference autonomism, want to focus on their career and do not care for a romantic relationship. Therefore, celibacy can also be a combination of choice and circumstance. These individuals want to be honored solely on their leadership positions, and they maintain the highest standards for professional and social success. Many find such an intense personal satisfaction, social honour, and financial gain in their celibate lives. Conscience, in the New Testament, has religious significance only indirectly. It has primarily an ethical meaning. The acceptance of the gospel, for instance, is not a demand of the conscience. It does not give laws, but it accuses and condemns one who has not fulfilled the law. Consequently, it is considered to be not a social quality of Christians but an element of human nature generally. In Romans 2.14-15, Paul expresses this very strongly: “When Gentiles who have no law obey instinctively the Law’s requirements, they are a low to themselves, even though they have no law; they exhibit the effect of the Law written on their hearts, their conscience bears them witness, as their moral convictions accuse or, it may be, defend them.” According to these words, the conscience witness to the law (either the Mosaic or the natural law), but it does not contain the law. Therefore its judgment can be wrong. Paul speaks of a “weak conscience” when describing the narrow and timid attitude of Christians who are afraid to buy meat in the market because it might have been used for sacrifices in pagan cults. Paul criticizes such attitudes. #RandolphHarris 9 of 18

However, Paul emphasizes that even an erring conscience must be obeyed, and he warns those who are strong in their conscience not to indue, by their example, those who are weak to do things that would give them an uneasy conscience. No higher estimation of the conscience as guide is possible. Paul does not say that we must follow it because it is right, but because disobedience to it means the loss of salvation (Romans 14). We can lose our salvation even when we do something objectively right, if we do it with an uneasy conscience. The unity and consistency of the moral personality are more important than its subjection to a truth that endangers this unity. In principle, Christianity has always maintained the Pauline doctrine of conscience, the unconditional more responsibility of the individual person. Aquinas and Luther agree on this point. Aquinas states that he must disobey the command of a superior to whom he has made a vow of obedience if the superior to whom he had made a vow of obedience if the superior asks something against his conscience. And Luther’s famous insistence, before the emperor in Words, that it is not right to do something against the conscience (in this case to recant a theological insight) is based on the traditional Christian doctrine of conscience. However, neither in Paul nor in Aquinas or Luther is the conscience a religious source. They all keep the authority of conscience within the ethical sphere. Luther’s refusal to recant his doctrine of justice is an expression of his conscientiousness as a doctor of theology. He declares that he would recant if refuted by arguments taken from Scripture of reason, the positive source and the negative criterion of theology. However, he does not say—as has been often stated by liberal Protestants—that his conscience is the source of his doctrine. There is no “religion of conscience” either in the New Testament or in classical Christianity before the sectarian movements of the Reformation. #RandolphHarris 10 of 18

Opening the system to more non-dominant power and allowing citizens to play a more direct role in their own governance are both necessary, but carry us only part of the way. The third vital principle for the politics of tomorrow is aimed at breaking up the decisional logjam and putting decisions where they belong. This, not simply reshuffling leaders, is the antidote to political paralysis. I call it “decision division.” Some problems cannot be solved on a local level. Others cannot be solved on a national level. Some require action at many levels simultaneously. Moreover, the appropriate place to solve a problem does not stay put. It changes over time. To cure today’s decision logjam resulting from institutional overload, we need to divide up the decisions and reallocate them—sharing them more widely and switching the site of decision-making as the problems themselves require. Today’s political arrangements violate this principle wildly. The problems have shifted, but the decisional power has not. Thus, too many decisions are still concentrated, and the institutional architecture is most elaborate at the national level. By contrast, not enough decisions are being made at the transnational level, and the structures needed there are radically underdeveloped. In addition, too few decisions are left for the subnational level-regions, states, provinces, and localities, or non-geographical social groupings. Many of the problems that national governments are grappling with are simply beyond their grasp—too big for any individual government. We desperately need, therefore, to invent imaginative new institutions at the transnational level to which many decisions can be transferred. We cannot, for example, expect to cope with the far-reaching power of the transnational corporation—itself a rival of the nation-state—through strictly national legislation. We need new transnational arrangements to establish, and if need be enforce, codes of corporate conduct on the global level. #RandolphHarris 11 of 18

We need transnational food stockpiles and “hot spot” disaster-relief organizations. We need new global agencies to provide early warnings of impending crop failures, to level out swings in the price of key resources, and to control the wildfire spread of the arms trade. We need consortia and teams of nongovernmental organizations to attack various global problems. We need far better agencies to regulate out-of-control currencies. We shall need alternative to—or complete transformations of the IMF, the World Bank, COMECON, NATO, and other such institutions. We shall have to invent new agencies to spread the advantages and limit the side effects of technology. We must speed the construction of strong transnational agencies for governing outer space and the oceans. We shall have to overhaul the ossified, bureaucratic United Nations from the group floor up. At the transnational level, we are as politically primitive and underdeveloped today as we were at the national level when the industrial revolution began nearly 400 years ago. By transferring some decisions “up” from the nation-state, we not only make it possible to act effectively at the level where many of our most explosive problems lie, but simultaneously reduce the decision burden at the overloaded center—the nation-state. Decision division is essential. However, moving decisions up the scale is only half the task. It is also clearly necessary to move a vast amount of decision-making downward from the center. Again the issue is not “either/or” in character. It is not decentralization versus centralization in some absolute sense. The issue is rational reallocation of decision-making in a system that has overstressed centralization to the point at which new information flows are swamping the central decision-makers. #RandolphHarris 12 of 18

Political decentralization is no guarantee of democracy—quite vicious localist tyrannies are possible. Local politics are frequently even more corrupt than national politics. Moreover, much that passes for decentralization—Trump’s government reorganization, for example, was a kind of pseudo-decentralization for the benefit of the community and businesses. Nevertheless, with all these cavils, there is no possibility of restoring sense, order, and management “efficiency” to many governments without a substantial devolution of central power. We need to divine the decision load and shift a significant part of it downward. This is not because romantic anarchists want us to restore “village democracy” or because angry affluent taxpayers want to cut back of transfer payments to the less affluent. The reason is that any political structure—even with banks of Lenovo ThinkStation P340 Tower Workstation computers—can only handle so much information and no more, can produce only a certain quantity and quality of decisions, and that the decisional implosion has now pushed governments beyond this breakpoint. Moreover, the institutions of government must correlate with the structure of the economy, the information system, and other features of the civilization. Today, little noticed by conventional economists, we are witnessing a fundamental decentralization of production and economic activity. Indeed, it may well be that the basic unit is no longer the national economy. What we are seeing, as I have already stressed, is the emergence of very large, more and more cohesive regional sub-economies within each national economy. These sub-economies are increasingly different from one another, with sharply divergent problems. One may be suffering from unemployment, another from labour shortages. Many states in the United States of America and manufacturers protest the shift of energy from fossil fuels to only renewable energy; the Rocky Mountain states refuse to become “energy colonies” of the West Coast. #RandolphHarris 13 of 18

Uniform economic policies stamped out in Washington, Paris, of Bonn have radically different impacts on these sub-economies. The same national economic policy that assists one region or industry increasingly damages others. For this reason, a great deal of economic policy making must be denationalized and decentralized. At the corporate level, we not only see efforts at international decentralization (witness a recent meeting of 280 of General Motors’ top executive who spent two days talking about how to break up bureaucratic patterns and move more decisions out from the center), but also an actual geographical decentralization as well. There was also a geographical tilt of the U.S. economy, when companies built plants and moved offices to less readily accessible parts of the country. All of this reflects, in part, a gigantic shift of information flows in society. We are, as noted earlier, undergoing a fundamental decentralization of communications, as the power of the central networks wane. We are seeing a stunning proliferation of cable, cassette, records, MP3 Players, mobile phones, and private electronic mail systems, all pushing in the same decentralist direction. It is not possible for a society to decentralize economic activity, communications, and many other crucial processes without also, sooner or later, being compelled to decentralize economic activity, communications, and many other crucial processes without also, sooner or later, being compelled to decentralize government decision-making as well. All this demands more than cosmetic changes in existing political institutions. It implies massive battles over control of budgets, taxes, land, energy, and other resources. Decision division will not come easily—but it is absolutely unavoidable in country after overcentralized country. The ultimate goal is to ease the bottleneck, unfreeze the political system so it can function again. However, there is far more here than greets the eye. #RandolphHarris 14 of 18

For application of the principle does more than reduce the decision load of national governments. In a fundamental way, it changes the very structure of elites, bringing them into conformity with the needs of the emerging civilization. In renouncing war for such reasons, we simply are looking for a method of resolution that will save lives and the environment. So long as this enormous distrust of each other remains, so long will the desire for disarmament on both sides fail of realization. There is no likelihood that it will not continue to remain. Therefore if this failure is ever to be brought to an end, what cannot be reached by both sides agreeing together must be reached by one side acting along. That is, the goal of full disarmament can only be reached by stages, and this is the first stage. It has some unsatisfactory and disconcerting features, it raises new doubts and fears, but all that is outweighed by the enormous gain of preventing a nuclear war. We are confronted by the power of evil in formidable array of menacing guise. We cannot ignore it for it forces itself aggressively into our lives. We may not, without being untrue to our ideals, respond to its crude and cruel emotional and intellectual attacks with the same weapons, with hatred, greed, contention, with rejection of God, morality, and truth. This we admit. However, to its threats of physical attack we consider ourselves entitled to use the same physical weapons. We refuse to let ourselves be dragged down to evil’s own low plane inwardly but we are willing to let ourselves be dragged down outwardly. Why this difference? If the one is wrong, the other is also wrong. A sharp logic requires us to hold firm heroically in nonviolence, and not to copy the ways and weapons of our antagonists. If the course suggested here offers great risks, as it does, it is justified by the incontestable fact that to hold inflexibly to the old one offers immeasurably greater risks of spilling death upon us all. #RandolphHarris 15 of 18

The pattern of fighting in war has been followed since history began. It is a familiar one and was safe enough to follow in the past, for both antagonists survived. However, now in this nuclear age, it has lost its safety, for both know that they are unlikely to survive a nuclear war. A new and unfamiliar pattern is needed and most be created, and that quickly. Time is running out. It seems that an agreement to disarm is unwise. You know human nature, not everyone will actually disarm and it may leave other nations vulnerable to attack. The best thing to do is try to work together and find peace. There will be risks either way, so why not take the risk of peace rather than of war? However, again, war sometimes is about expanding boarders and acquiring more resources, so a peace agreement may not be the answer either. Nations have to leave the moral courage to apply spiritual truth. In one sense our time is a challenge to change old ways of thinking about war. It is a time to draw on spiritual resources until we see it in a new light, a spiritual light, which should induce us to banish it once and for all. It is a chance to avert calamity and create opportunity. There is no escape. If we do not rise to the new requirement, much of our civilization will be eclipsed and most of us will vanish from the scene. A second revolutionary wealth system and society—industrialism—began to emerge in the late 1600s and sent a Second Wave of transformation and upheaval across much of the planet. Historians still debate the dating and the multiple underlying causes of the industrial revolution. However, we know that during that period a remarkable group of Western European intellectuals, philosophers, scientists, political radicals and entrepreneurs, drawing on the ideas of Descartes, Newton, and the Enlightenment, changed the World again. #RandolphHarris 16 of 18

The Second Wave wealth system that sprang up along with these new ideas eventually brought factories, urbanization and secularism. It combined fossil-fuel energy and brute force technologies requiring rote and repetitive muscle work. It brought mass production, mass education, mass media and mass culture. Colliding with traditional work ways, values, family structure and increasingly decadent political and religious institutions of the agrarian age, it pitted the interest of a rising commercial, urban-industrial elite against entrenched rural-agricultural elites. Eventually, Second Wave “modernizers” came to power in all of what we now call the “developed” economies. Industrialism polluted the Earth. It was accompanied by colonialism, wars and plenty of misery. However, it also gave rise to a vast, expanding urban-industrial civilization that created riches beyond the wildest dreams of our less affluent ancestors. Built on common principles of standardization, specialization, synchronization, concentration, centralization and maximization of scale, industrial economies took various forms. They ranged from Angelo-American capitalism to Stalinist communism, from Sweden’s “middle way” to Japan’s hierarchical and heavily bureaucratic variant, Korea’s variant of that variant, and many other versions. All focused heavily on production in their early stages and consumption late on. Today, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development classes its thirty-eight member nations with a total population of 1.4 billion as “developed” or industrialized. These, along with Russia and several other countries, are products of modernity—the second wealth wave to sweep across the planet. Ah Power that swirls us together, please grant us bliss, please grant us the great release, and to all Beings vanishing, wounded, in trouble on Earth, we pass on this love. May their numbers increase. #RandolphHarris 17 of 18

Thou, our Lord God, didst cover the Earth with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains. At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away; they ascended the mountains and flowed into valleys, unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them; Thou didst set a bound for the waters, that they might not return to cover the Earth. Thou sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains; they give drink to every beast of the field, that all creatures may quench their thirst. Beside them dwell the fowl of the Heaven, from among the branches they raise their song. Thou sendest down rain upon the mountains from Thy reservoirs, the Earth is full of the fruit of Thy works. Thou causest grass to spring up for the cattle, and herbs for the service of humans. Thou bringest forth bread out of the Earth to sustain human life, and premium cranberry juice to gladden one’s heart. Thou appointest the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth its time of setting. How manifold are Thy works, O Lord! In wisdom hast Thou made them all. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with thanksgiving. For the Lord, your, God, brought you into a good land; a land of brooks and of fountains that spring out of valleys and hills; a land wherein you shall eat bread without scarcity, and shall lack for nothing. You shall eat and be satisfied, and bless the Lord your God for the good land which He hath given you. Beware lest you forget the Lord your God, and forsake His commandments. When you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built goodly houses, and dwelt therein, when your herds and your flocks increase, and your sliver and gold is multiplied, and all you have is multiplied, beware lest your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, and you say in your heart: “My own power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.” You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He that hath given you the power to get wealth. #RandolphHarris 18 of 18
