The Pairs

“If with a pure
mind a person speaks or acts, happiness follows
him like his never-departing shadow.”

“Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their
chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with an impure mind a person speaks or acts suffering follows him like the wheel that follows the foot of
the ox.”

The Dhammapada (page23)

Begin Your Work

and the Lord be with you!

“You have many workers:
stonecutters,
masons
and carpenters, 
as well as those skilled in every kind of work
in gold
and silver,
bronze
and iron—
craftsmen beyond number.
Now begin the work,
and the Lord be with you.”

1 Chronicles 22:15-16

Where Are Fellow Poor Young Soldiers Of Christ?

…However, the Poor FellowSoldiers Of Christ are not young; they are all old men with grey beards.
-Enter: The Young Tyler.
He calls himself a, P.F.S.C.,” yet he has zero poverty; he has food on his plate, shoes on his feet and a roof over his head.
Neither is nor.
They Young Tyler is Apprenticed into Entership- the state of arriving to an unfamiliar environment, thought paradigm and yet-to-be (if ever) -seen set of circumstances.
This “Entership,” is an internship into the realm of: “Void of Ego and Personal Gain,” therefore, is the most honorably practice!

Pray In Silence

 But when you pray,
go into your room,
close the door and pray to your Father, 
who is unseen.
Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you. 
And when you pray,
do not keep on babbling like pagans,
for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 
 Do not be like them,
for your Father knows what you need 
before you ask him.”

MATTHEW 6:6-8
