Part 89
One American, re 9/11/01
"We'd almost All-of-us been Hypnotized, and Almost All of us were Quite surprised, when evil came our way. I Say it's TIME for More of Us ta CARE, and Even More than THAT, ta Dare ta SHARE – we've Got ta Start, Today!"
Fundamentals
(song lyric)
"It's Time ya Really loved the Holy One, it's Also Time ya Truly Loved your Self; it's Time ta Get a Lot o' Loving Done – love God, your self, and Everybody Else!
"Oh, That's Fundamental, Plain ta See, and Jesus Got a Lot of Love fer You and Me! So, Go on, Baby, Open Up the Door – the Lord will come on in, and Love you More!"
Preemptive Practices
"If You don't practice prayer every day, then fears and anger both will enter in. If You're not Loving God, they're Apt ta Stay, and then they make it Hard fer Love ta Win. You'd Best devote your self ta Truth, for Good, 'cause Lies pervert a Human Heart and Mind. And If ya Want ta Change the Neighborhood, you've GOT TA START ta Practice Being Kind!
"The Holy One kin Help ya Do these things; the Holy One's as Real as Real can Be, the Source from Which your Every Blessing Springs. Give Thanks, and Greater Blessings You will See! Alleluia, Amen!"
Why Not Be Faithful?
(to a friend)
"Ya Call ya Self religious, yet ya Kill, and You git Mad, ta try ta Git your Way. You Won't spend Time in Silence, Sitting STILL – you've GOT ta Take some Time, ta Pause and Pray!"
Sweet and Short
"I've Got one Simple Thing ta Say: Thank YOU fer Blessing ME TODAY!"
Capital and Loving-kindness
"The tyranny of capital means death, and All who're Serving capital are Slaves. If You want Change, you'd Best not hold your Breath! But Just remember: Loving-kindness Saves!"
Commandments Revisited
(as though the Holy One were speaking)
"You Shall Not Kill, you shall not Lie, nor Steal. Love God and Everybody Here on Earth; love All your Enemies, my child, for Real, and Love yourself, and Love the Universe! You shall not worship idols, only Me. No Cheating, Spouses, Neither Man nor Wife. You Shall not Covet, Lust, nor angry BE! You Must show Reverence, to All of LIFE.... These Here are laws that Faithful Folks obey; and If you're Smart, you're Also Gonna Pray!" What do you think?
Prayer for the Enemies of the People
"Oh, Daddy, Please forgive the crazy ones – the ones who kill with missiles, bombs, and guns, the ones who're doing anger, hate, and spite. Please, Help the Fearful People All git Right!"
Sow Love, Reap Love
"Ain't fearfulness a suicidal thing? And genocide, that comes from fearing, too. But Life's what Truth and Loving-kindness Bring, plus Justice, Peace, and Joy to All the Crew! Some folks who fear don't realize they're scared, it's been so long that fears have ruled their hearts. To doubt the lies they've heard they've never dared, so perfect peace within them rarely starts. It's Up to those who Care to LOVE THE LORD, so love between us all can Greatly Grow. And Faithful Lovers Get a rich reward; they Tend to reap Great Love from what they sow...."
And you and I can sow and reap just like that, can't we, my friend? We can love, and we will reap a crop of love....
For an Acutely Grieving Person
