...21years from now until the end of what began in 1963. Hope for a new order started to wither then. the call has been made again, the seed planted. but it will take another 21 years before we see its true fruit.

D enomination, ritual practice--none of these make a difference for a 'true spirit'. All can work--but to find others, you must recognize, you must know, ..the essence can be smelled.

N ot with your nose, but a true spirit psychically emanates a fragrance of rain on hot pavement, the warmth of the sun on a cold blustery day, a calmness of a sunset, the giggle of a baby, the strength of an old oak tree swaying slightly as it holds its arms over you to protect you.

I f you feel these things in others, draw them to you, give them a simple present and your love. The power of a group of true spirits can be potent. Don't try to use it, flow with it. It shall accomplish God's will on its own. When people "try" it has always been distorted. Dissention, conflict, anger dogma, and new self destructing ritual is produce and abused.

T o stay "true of spirit" is impossible. This is a dynamic universe. Only change is constant(and I have my doubts about that.) To be true we must forgive. To be able to forgive others, we must forgive ourselves first. Don't be afraid of being fooled. Naivety is a blessing, it is the opposite of cynicism--and a hardened heart. Of course we fool ourselves often, believing in things or people we later find are false. We may believe in magic, reincarnation, physics, magic mushrooms, communion, friends, lovers, children, matter and antimatter, reality, illusion, mustard on pretzels, to eat pork or not eat pork, eat meat only, pasta only, vegetables only, all of the above, or none of the above.

W hat seems important is not important. What is your illusion may be my reality. A true spirit can "see" the other's reality and respect it. A true spirit never condemns, never judges, does this mean the spirit has no goals, no ritual, no desire? ... No.

IT IS LIKE WATER,
AT ONE MOMENT A VAPOR IN THE AIR,
THEN A DROP OF DEW ON A LEAF,
THEN PART OF A PUDDLE,
THEN PART OF THE EARTH,
THEN PART OF THE LIFE BLOOD AND FLUID OF A PLANT,
THEN PART OF THE FRUIT OF THE PLANT,
PERHAPS THEN FOOD IN THE MOUTH OF A BEING NURTURING ITS GROWTH,
THEN URINE SPLASHED ON A ROCK,
THEN FROZEN FOR A THOUSAND YEARS,
THEN LIQUID,
THEN VAPOR,
THEN A CLOUD,
THEN RAIN,
AND THEN,
AND THEN....

B ut the spirit is always true to itself. It is always"water". It does what water needs to do in the situation in which it finds itself. So it is with a 'true spirit'. You may say,"but water can be transformed or mixed with other chemicals to become a different thing. "So can a 'true spirit' .."Water can be destroyed" notes the cynic. So can a 'true spirit'. Does that stop water from being water? If it did, everything on the earth would die. The same is true of 'true spirits'. They are as necessary as water to the world's survival ..'true spirits' can help each other survive. 'True spirits' can help any spirit survive,

JUST GIVE A SIMPLE PRESENT -AND YOUR LOVE.
