We live in a materialistic age. Gadgets and luxuries with their glitter
and glamour entice even Pagans to spend too much energy and money to
obtain them. That's why it's important to keep spiritual values foremost
in our minds.
Have you been putting all of your energies into getting ahead in this
world while neglecting your Mother & Father? Isis said in the dream of the
Pharaoh, "Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures."
Have you attempted recently to teach anyone the Pagan truth - to alleviate their
fear? If so you have offered food that satisfies forever?
If you want to see how materialistic you are, take this little test:
Suppose someone were to offer you a thousand dollars for every person you
earnestly sought to teach of tolerance. Would you try to come out of the
closet to more people than you are now? Is it possible that you would do for
money, even at the risk of harm and ridicule, what you would hesitate
to do otherwise? Is your love of money stronger than your love of Gods?
What is the prime goal of our lives? For what are we working? Our Eternal
parents ask us? Do you love Us, or your worldly pursuits?
Living for the Gods through earth's little while,
My dearest treasure, Their light for awhile;
Seeking to teach tolerance and peace is the dream,
Bringing understanding to find the truth of Them.
WORLDLINESS IS LIVING AS IF THERE IS NO ETERNITY.
