THE QUEST
Stanzas 100 to 199

100

That if one's clothing is all of the acts of one's life,
And one's home is what these acts have built,
And the Kingdom of Heaven is the homes which have been built around everyone,
Then righteousness is to receive because of the total of these acts.

101

That buying and selling righteously,
Is being able to know exactly what part of the Kingdom is one's own,
Or what part one has created shall be given to another,
And for each person to give and receive by the principle of Balance,
Whether during times of creative peace,
Or after the destruction of accidents in nature.
And then I taught:---

102

Think now of the total acts of your life as your clothing,
And then add all of these together as if they are a column of figures,
Your garment then whereby you are known to your fellow human beings,
Is the total of all that you have given.

103

And make this statement for all women as well as men,
For she who keeps a home and ministers unto children,
Worketh as much and often more than many tasks that men perform,
A woman's garment as is also with any man,
Is her works wherein she has shown love for others.

104

Then with this garment possessed by both men and women,
Proceed with your buying and selling,
Giving those first choice who has given more than others,
And proceed with such a manner of distributing,
Until all has been chosen or there is no more wanting.

105

And do this no longer by bargaining for values,
Or taking away from one to give to another,
Nor taking a housewife's garments from her as she receives,
So that after buying she is left naked without the recognition of the total
center> works of her life.

106

Distribute by quantities available,
And what proportion each person has helped in making the quantities be,
Rather than any longer by trading values,
Or saying he or she must starve who has spent all of their value for trading,
Or has coins or paper printed in foreign figures.

107

For God looks upon a field of wheat as a QUANTITY of portions for his

children,
But man has looked upon the field as value for bargaining,
And while man bargains, the cries of the starving destroy the homes which
have been built,
And the wheat rotteth in the storehouse and feedeth only weevils.

108

Look then upon your acts with the eyes of God,
Count their quantities instead instead of how you can bargain with their value,
And if ye have produced 10,
Then give one each to 10 people who have given the most who have not yet

received,
And if there be plenty for all,
Then give to all freely even though some may not yet have given or been lazy.

109

And to each who gives,
Increase his position in the arrangement of all who have given according

to their giving,
This ye will do now instead of any longer collecting value from those to
whom you give,
For it is not from the lowly that ye receive in God,
But rather from they who like yourself have given greatly.

110

Seek not then any more to take the farthing from a beggar,
But rather to be as high in the giving arrangement,
As others who have come to know God and creating intimately,
And ye shall receive by the abundance of what cometh down the arrangement by

its quantity,
Rather than any more by impoverishing more the poverty stricken.

111

Here is how to place the figures on your acts and what they have produced,
So that a merchant may know who has helped others more than another,
So that if there is not enough for all who come to a merchant for receiving,
In justice he can fulfill the needs first of the most deserving.

112

With every person having the statement of the total acts of their life as

their clothing,
Any small number of people coming to a place of business for receiving,
Will be a small arrangement of that which is all of human civilization,
Just as any one human being in microcosm,
Is a small model of all that which is God.

113

Start with a number on each item and service available for giving,
Which is the number of whoever is highest,
Among those who come to you for receiving,
And say whatever you have to give may be received,
By whoever has performed as the total acts of their life,
A quantity as large as this starting number.

114

Then begin lowering the starting number you place on any item or service for

giving,
With each person receiving a reasonable amount of one each of each item,
Until you find by experiment the Balance point,
Where all you have available is distributed.
Or desire by receivers to receive is met.

115

With this procedure of placing a number on what is available for receiving,
One may engage in shopping for what one needs or desires,
Comparing the number which has thus been placed on any item or service for

personal receiving,
With a number which is the total acts of one's life.

116

Any person can have the reasonable quantity noted with the number of each item,
If its number is no higher than the total works of one's life.
The number of the works of one's life is not taken away or reduced as one

receives,
For this is no longer a way of value exchanging.

117

With the the number of the works of your life no longer decreasing as you

receive,
Purchase limiting will no longer be achieved by using up your value for
exchanging.
Instead it is achieved by giving back for receiving by someone else,
An item you have previously received of the same kind as the newer or
different item you desire.
So no one will possess at any one time,
More than the reasonable quantity noted with the number of each item.

118

Thus he who gives an item or service,
Increases the number of his acts, not because he collected money from those

to whom he has given,
But because of his act of giving alone,
It is the act of giving rather than receiving,
That increases the number of the works of your life.

119

Thus ye no longer will exchange money in buying and selling.
And the evils money has brought to you will depart from you.
No longer will you have produced what is needed or desired,
But find they who need it cannot receive it.

120

Thus the way you were promised has now been shown you,
Wherein justice is achieved for all in receiving,
And the earth comes to be ruled by God instead of man,
For the quantities of what is available is of God,
But man bargaining these quantities for value for exchanging is of that

against God.

121

Thus in justice does he who has given the most receive first choice,
But he who has given naught also receives,
If in truth enough has been produced for all,
No longer shall there be starving in the midst of plenty,
Nor failure in giving because they who need do not have value for exchanging.

122

And one who becomes sick,
Will no longer find oneself without money for living or exchanging for care of

one's sickness,
Nor those who have grown old without food or shelter,
For no longer is the number of the acts of one's life decreased by receiving.

123

By this way of God which has now been shown you,
Ye can never receive less than you have at any previous time in your life,
Only the same for the rest of your life if you stop working,
Or continually more if you keep on giving to others.

124

And no longer does one man hate another,
Because one has and the other has not,
Because by this promised method each person receives according to their works,
And no longer by stealing or devious collecting of money.

125

And by this way of giving and receiving,
Will taxation finally be ended,
For all receive by the works of their life,
Instead of some receiving by tax money taken away from others.

126

And thus the giving of the mark of the Beast is ended,
Wherein no person might buy or sell lest they have their tax number,
And those who were found with the mark of the Beast in their hand or forehead.
As this way of buying and selling was given to them,
Were those who still desired to use the way of taxation.

127

For the Beast and its power,
Is the subjugating of humankind to the will of men and away from the

functioning of God,
With central bureaus of human beings,
Dictating what shall be done, what shall be believed, and who shall be fought
against in wars.

128

And the power of the Beast which enables it to enslave mankind,
And support corruption, hating, wars, and abominations,
To which all were made a party without their knowledge,
Was the power to levy and collect taxes.

129

Those who were found without the Mark of the Beast in their hand or forehead,
Were those who heard what the spirit said,
As this new way of buying and selling was shown to them,
And who saw in it the fulfilling of what they said they had been believing,
And in it the way promised of the whore of Babylon fallen.

130

And I showed how any who wished,
Could demonstrate this new way of giving and receiving with less than everyone

in a community,
And thus show they did not have the Beast's mark in their hand or forehead,
And thus train themselves as teachers for the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven.

131

And this was by saving their records of purchases,
From merchants who were found without the Beast's mark as this way was shown

to them,
And merchants giving what they could afford by this new method,
Numbered and receiving their recognition for such giving,
Even as has been shown here.

132

And then the time when peace comes to humankind in one day,
Through every eye seeing broadcast to all nations,
With waves as if they were like clouds in the air,
What was shown here ahead of time to those who were ready,
Would each person's statement of their life's earning of money,
Suddenly become for everyone the record of their life's work.

133

Thus as the world of the spirit and prophecy,
Turns upon its poles as many prophets had prophesied,
Does money suddenly become the language of one's help to others,
Instead of any longer a medium of exchange used for stealing,
And tax records kept for everyone,
Become the way of verifying the love each person has shown for others.

134

And thus the records that were previously called taxes,
No longer are used to deprive people of what has come to them by working,
But instead are the adding up of the garments with which each person has

clothed oneself,
And thus the book was written of each person's life,
Even as You told those You sent before me.

135

And thus with the records of the quantities being produced of goods and

services,
That resulted from communication problems being solved by the way of clouds
and waves in wires,
So that it became known what is available to be received,
With ALL of each item's quantity.

136

And with the records of the works of each person's life,
Kept in places of banking, accounting, and tax recording,
Did the two parts of buying and selling become fully revealed.
So that buying and selling could be performed by the way of God which is like

a Bow in the sky,
Instead of any longer by the way of Babylon,
Which is like the way of stealing, hiding, and blackness.

137

So that finally to bring world peace to the whole earth,
And at last feed all of the poverty stricken and starving,
These two statements of total quantities of items and works.
Now can be brought together as prophesied and as clarified in their details

by these words,
And thus the Kingdom of Heaven will be established as promised.

137.1

Because the way of buying and selling was so strange to so many,
I tried saying it again in words likened to a rainbow,
And with more direct description of how Babylon the whore who corrupted the

Earth is fallen,
That is to say how taxation and its bedfellow dictatorship by human despots
is ended.

HOW TO OPERATE A CIVILIZATION
WITHOUT TAXATION
(and procedure for resale distribution)

137.2

Let they who are members of a civilization be arranged like a rainbow.
Just as a rainbow includes ALL colors,
So include ALL who are your civilization's members,
Instead of just those who work in exchange for money,
Or only those who are male rather than female,
Or only those who are the strongest by force of arms, ballots,

members of a majority party, more, numerous viewpoint, more numerous
race, of but a single religious or non-religious persuasion,
or any other basis for exclusion, leaving out, or division.

137.3

As each color of a rainbow has its own the individual part and quantity,
So let each person be known to others by the total of one's life work in

helping others,
For love is the action of fitting together with others,
And this is how to be ruled by love, instead of the violence,
hate, division, or deciding whom you must be against or destroy.

137.4

As the colors which are more are toward one end of the bow,
And those which are less are toward its other end,
So let your distribution of your works to help others be distributed.
Look upon your rainbow arrangement, as humans, as your "works-to-help-others"

arrangement.
For this is the way of love and fitting together which is creation.

137.5

Then by this arrangement of works to help others,
Distribute what the works have caused to be,
Starting with the end of how the bow which is greater works,
And proceeding toward its other end until all that is available has been

distributed,
Or all have received all they desire,
So that every person receives according as one's works shall be.

PERSONAL REWARD DISTRIBUTION

137.6

To put this arrangement patterned after the bow which is the face of God into

operation,
Let merchants no longer distribute by stealing the value of their wares,
But rather by starting with a higher figure placed on each item,
And slowly decreasing it to a lower figure,
To be compared with the works-in-life-to-help-others-recognition each person
possesses.
This is the beginning of the judgment of your works as you were promised,
How will you be judged?

137.7

As receivers compare their recognition of love shown for others,
With the new non-value figures on what they need or desire,
And find figures lowering to their total love shown for others,
Let each such person have such items for the asking in reasonable quantities,
And no longer by giving away, lowering, exchanging, or having taken from them

their statement of how much love they have shown

137.8

As such distribution is accomplished,
Let whoever is the distributor,
Whether one be an employee of government, employed privately, or self-employed,
Have the records of one's works increased according to the value of what is

given,
But this is a bookkeeping entry of the works of one's life in the book of
one's life.
Rather than any longer taking value from whoever receives.
This is already being done widely in bookkeeping,
Merely interpreted differently because it has been behind a veil awaiting
this time,
In your business records, tax records, credit cards, payroll accounting, and
totaling of inventories.

RECEIVING FOR REDISTRIBUTION

137.9

Let the quantities which are delivered to places of distribution,
Be determined by whoever makes them available,
Through examining the personal use distribution levels each item or service

reaches in its figure,
Through its lowering by its final distribution,
And causing more to be delivered for redistribution where an item's
distribution level figure is higher,
And less where an item's distribution level figure is lower.

TRANSITION PROCEDURE
NON DESTRUCTION

137.10

There will be those who say their works of their life are more than what the

book of their life shows,
And there will be those who accuse others of having dishonestly high
recognition of their works.
In the interim period before final judgment of these claims,
The guideline will be used of:
Let those who have keep,
And produce more for those who do not yet have.

137.11

During the transition from existing procedures to this new procedure,
Our concern will be with starting anew, and fairly and justly with new people

beginning this new way.
Now you must truly decide whether you wish a way of peace, beauty, and creation,
Or continuance of the way of hate, retribution, violence and destruction.

137.12

Those who are older and will soon die.
We need not concern ourselves with trying to destroy only a few months or

years earlier.
What is just for them, and each judged according to one's true works of love,
Will be properly attended to in the general judgment which is 1000 years from
now.
And do not forget that many of these older people do not even believe that
such a judgment will take place.
So let them die peacefully without hate or destruction,
And their children continue in understanding and justice.
You will save yourself much torment and waste,
If you cease trying to murder them.
God will end their lives in due course.
You need not try to hasten the process.
This is the true way of peace.

RELEVANCY - SELF MOTIVATION
FREEDOM - GOVERNMENT

137.13

That those who are younger and are deciding how they will help others,
May decide in freedom and self-determination,
Which is more relevant and less relevant to carrying on the purpose of being,
Which is creation,
Or that those who are older can know what recognition will be received for

helping others,
Let an ASSEMBLY OF REPRESENTATIVES of all of the ways of helping others be
convened,
Having the responsibility to vote increased recognition
For tasks more necessary in its opinion to continue creation or end or avert
destruction,
And to lower recognition rates for new individuals entering a way of help to
others where problems have been solved,
Or which in the opinion of the ASSEMBLY are less necessary.
They do not prohibit or order, only lower or increase recognition for
self-choices by those who choose for their own personal reasons,
What they will do to help others.

137.14

Voting in the ASSEMBLY as in a rainbow is by a scale of graduating quantity,
And not by signifying agreement or disagreement,
The result of the voting is the average of the quantities stated.
Let the agenda for discussion and voting flow through 24 advisors to the

CHAIRMAN,
Which are the past and future aspects of the twelve divisions of reality and
the spirit.
(see "The Articles" Number 138)

PURCHASE LIMITING OTHER THAN BY
RUNNING OUT OF MONEY TO SPEND


137.15

The principle in this procedure which limits purchasing,
In the absence of giving away all of your recognition of how you have loved,
Is the statement of the fair amount to be received by each individual

accompanying each item's distribution level figure.
It is stealing and detectable by the record keeping of this procedure,
(as in present procedures),
To receive at one place or a combination of places more than this fair share,
But you may with no penalty exchange items previously received as often as
desired,
On different or newer items of the same kind,
So long as at any time you do not possess more than the fair amount of each
item made possible by its available quantity.

HOW TAXES ARE ENDED

137.16

This procedure ends taxation through anyone receiving by the records of the

works of one's life,
Rather than some receiving because of money collected from taxpayers,
Others receiving for private work or selling in exchange for money,
And others receiving by free hand outs from those who in various ways have
received money.

137.17

Materials used by governent previously obtained by exchanging money collected

by taxes,
Are obtained in the same way as materials obtained by non-government
activities, by ordering from their supplers,
In combination with higher or lower recognition levels voted by the ASSEMBLY,
For supply of such materials to activities of government.
With such suppliers exercising the initiative of who will receive,
When several seek to provide the same service or item.

137.18

As you receive by this procedure,
You do not sell, give away, or have reduced in any way,
Your recognition of your works and love in helping others,
Thus this is not only a taxless, but also s non-money exchanging way of

distributing what work creates.

137.19

Thus is Babylon, the great trading empire and whore which corrupted the earth

fallen.
No longer is a tax number required to engage in murder of others or their
slavery,
Which has been the mark of the beast which is slavery of man by man,
By the instrumentalities arising from the system of Babylon,
And without which no person may buy or sell by present procedures.

137.20

That which was, but is not, yet is (the medium of exchange trading system of

Babylon),
Is now replaced by the promised way of love and creation surrounded by a
rainbow.

137.21

The mystery of God is now ended.

May the way of the rainbow give you peace until the time of the final judgment

arrives,
For in what I have shown you here,
Is also the way hidden of the judgment and the resurrection.

138

"BUT DID YOU REVEAL HOW TO FIND THEY WHO STILL TRY TO SIN AGAINST

THIS FULFILLING OF MY PROPHECIES?"

139

By the way I spoke of crime and punishment.
I was asked this question often Father,
"If a person upon receiving,
"No longer loses the recognition of one's works to accomplish buying,
"What is to keep the dishonest from going to many places of giving,
"And in greed and selfishness receiving much more than the reasonable
quantity available for each person?"

140

I answered the question in this manner.
I revealed its answer had already been accomplished,
That mankind's places of banking and exchanging money, Had already learned how to detect such actions of dishonesty, greed, and

selfishness.
For as each person receives in the Kingdom of Heaven,
He gives his name with it to be placed in the book of his life,
Even as it is already required in the keeping of tax records.

141

Therein can it be seen immediately,
Where a person in greed, selfishness, and dishonesty,
Has in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Gone from place to place deceiving in how much one has already received.

142

Some people called this giving their name by writing checks.
Others called it the giving of contracts.
Others called it assuring by giving a bond.
Others called it a receipt that proof for taxes could be given.

143

Therein I told mankind,
Is honesty no longer regulated by the extent to which one does not lie about

value,
But rather by the number of the quantity available of each kind of item,
And the fact of quantity of how much one has already received.

144

Thus, I told mankind,
Buying and selling comes to be ruled by God,
Which is the QUANTITY AND POSITION of what is available,
Rather than by the opinions of individuals alone of value or lying and

cheating,
And whether one person can lie more than another to receive more for oneself
than another for the same item,
At a place of bargaining and exchanging money.

145

Therein crime in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Is receiving more than the number of your acts can give you,
Which can be known absolutely by their numbers,
Even as a person's total works of their life is a number,
And the quantities which become available because of work can be stated as a

number.

146

Thus I said once again by the law of Balance You gave me,
How each person could know surely,
Where the balance point is between one's own works,
And what has become available by everyone's works.

147

The Balance point is known for each item or service in the Kingdom of Heaven,
By receiving only that which has a number on it no higher than the acts of

your life,
You raise your Balance point by more works,
And know you have ministered to more of your fellow human beings,
And thus have helped to carry out the plan of God and purpose of being which
is creation,
When by your works you lower the Balance point achieved by what your works
accomplish.

148

Punishment then becomes to restore a Balance one has destroyed,
And no longer is punishment toil as retribution.
Rather it is to give back one part for each one part stolen,
So that Balance is restored, rather than destroyers destroyed.

149

And if a person taketh another person's life,
Balance shall be restored by giving his own life,
But it is not the life taken from one's body that is given,
But rather the life which is the fruits of one's labors,
Which are given to they who depended upon the life taken.

150

And they who commit unbalance continually,
Shall be required to live only with their kind,
And it shall be taken from them to make more of their kind of lives to be by

their bodies (sterilization),
But they shall not be deprived of their own life among their own kind,
Until they have died naturally, but then forever.

151

Thus in the Kingdom of Heaven,
Is the judgment made to stem once again from a basic statement of divine law,
Rather than by unrighteous actions of many people,
By "Common Law" thus making unrighteous justice.

152

The new law is:

LIVE IN BALANCE

NO MORE DESTRUCTION OF ANYONE

--- LAWS ---

153

"BUT DID YOU TELL MANKIND HOW TO BRING ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN?
"FROM THAT WHICH WAS THE CONDITION IN WHICH YOU FOUND IT?"

154

By the way in which their laws are written,
By the method of forming their governments,
By the way that each person becomes part of and helps his fellow human beings.

155

And wars plagued humanity for as long as they could remember,
And hate against one's brother was a greater maker of actions than love,
And every person sought to reveal which was the right way,
By calling all others wrong and only oneself right.

156

And meetings called under the name of hearing the speaking of others,
Were planned only to trick others by their own words,
And they were called the ambassadors of peace,
Who could speak most skillfully with a split tongue.

157

Most spoke of God and peace,
While the blood of those whom they hated or had forgotten dripped from their

fingertips,
All spoke of great wisdom for which they searched,
And murdered the body or spirit of any who spoke to them of things they had
not yet learned.

158

How then could righteousness be born?
Could the Kingdom of Heaven be hewn?
Could the honest be rewarded before the deceitful?
Could the meek inherit the earth instead of the destroyers?
Could creation according to the plan of God be completed?
This problem I encountered in the QUEST, Father.

159

For this I taught mankind to look upon one another,
By how each person helps others,
And not by how another's thoughts are the same or different from one's own,
Or the place where one's home is located.

160

That in the acts in which each person engages,
And not in the different motivations for the same actions,
Lay the long sought way to peace,
And the promised Brotherhood of Mankind.

161

That in adding up the acts of each person's life,
So that they become the total of a column of figures,
Would each person then have to speak for oneself in terms of what one has

given,
And that adding the quantities of what the acts had brought into being,
Laid not in opinion,
But rather in the natural and divine fact of being itself.

162

Then would mankind gather in their meetings of government,
To hear what has been given or needs to be given,
Rather than to determine who is right and who is wrong,
Thus would the arrangement of everyone according to the clothing of their

acts with which each person has girded oneself,
Be brought into being as a result of this assembling.

163

And that the laws establishing this assembly,
Would be how much each kind of action,
Would add to the total of the life of he who performed it,
Herein would the purpose of government become to recognize how much each

person has given,
Rather than to divide one opinion from another.

164

And mankind would no longer gather by place of birth, nationality, race,

or political agreements,
To determine who is stronger and who is weaker,
Or to determine which birth or way of life is right,
But rather mankind would meet because one person is a doctor, or another an
artisan, and another a mother,
And the purpose of this meeting,
Is to determine the quantity of each kind of giving.

165

Herein would the lamb come to lie down with the lion,
Even as both are separate parts of the same whole,
Rather than a doctor who is a part of a lion,
Being against a doctor who is the same part of a lamb.

166

That no longer would a person be shackled because of one's birth or opinions,
As long as one lives by the new laws:

LIVE IN BALANCE

NO MORE DESTRUCTION
OF ANYONE

167

That no longer would the lion hunt the lamb because one is stronger and the

other is weaker,
But rather now, by this new way of assembling,
Would all find at last they are brothers.

--- FREEDOM ---

168

"BUT DID YOU TEACH MANKIND WHAT IT IS TO CEASE BEING HUNTED?"

169

By freedom.
By each person becoming the master of one's own life.
By constant choices of alternatives for everyone.

170

That in both the material and the spiritual,
Each person being the controller of one's own actions,
Being guided by the central principle of righteousness,
That all others as well as oneself,
Shall also be able to live by the way of freedom.

171

That when one person makes a slave of another,
Therein does oneself become a slave,
For the responsibility of the life enslaved,
Then becomes that of the enslaver,
And by this is one bound is all of one's actions.

172

That if one is honest one is haunted continually,
By the responsibility of the life one has enslaved,
And if one is dishonest and seeks only to master,
Then oneself is part of what is destroying one's own peace.

173

And this may be said also of the buildings, machines, and factories,
Whereby mankind ministers to its needs,
Enslave not a machine or factory,
Even as you would not enslave that which is the life of any of your fellow

human beings.

174

Each must be free to look from it to the universe about it,
And not under the yoke of despotic authority,
For to give any one person or one machine the job of twenty,
Leads only to a task being but one-twentieth accomplished.

175

If there are ten parts to accomplish,
Give one each to ten different people and let them be free,
Herein will ten minds instead of just one be seeking to do the task,
And should one fail, still there will be nine left,
Who will learn from the first who faltered.

176

And that in what I showed mankind of business of he who has given more

receiving first,
And adding together the quantity of what has been accomplished instead of
exchanging values,
Would humanity at last find freedom in that which is buying and selling,
And no longer would greed and lust be the master of the market place.

177

For if by the meeting of the assembly,
Gathered according to help to others instead of agreement in opinions or

motivations,
It is voted that a specific action receives a certain recognition,
No matter to whom such help is given,
Then the motivation for doing business,
Can be where one's help can best be used,
Rather than where the greatest gain for oneself can be achieved by the same
action.

178

If you have produced ten items,
And ten people come to you desiring them,
There is naught in what I have told you,
To prevent you from meeting the needs of all ten.
For it is by distribution to them that you earn your acts of your life

recognition,
And no longer by gaining from one person more than from another for the same
item.

179

Herein is the yoke of poverty at last lifted from every person's shoulders,
And each person becomes as free as his acts,
Rather than being any longer at the mercy of the dishonest,
Who by devious methods deprives one of money for spending.

180

And if fifteen who come to you,
For that of which you have only ten,
The ten who have earned the right to receive first,
Has already been determined by God even as I have shown you,
And no matter who they are you are assured the increase in the number of your

acts,
Merely by having met their need,
Rather than any longer having to collect value from them.

--- RESALE SELLING ---

181

What I have shown you of who shall receive before another,
Speaks of the person who receives as one's reward for working,
There is also distribution for redistributing,
Or making facilities available for commerce.
Here is how freedom is achieved in this part of business,
In the way of the Kingdom of Heaven.

182

As distributors ask you for what you provide for reselling,
Observe the Balance positions that are being achieved by items of the same

kind already distributed to them,
And provide proportionately more where Balance points are higher,
And proportionately less where Balance points are lower,
So that you seek to cause a uniform Balance point to be achieved,
For each individual item where ever it may be received.

183

And for those who come to you seeking what you distribute to begin a new

enterprise or for expansion,
And you do not have enough for all who desire to receive what you can provide.
It is your responsibility to judge who will make the best use of what they
request from you,
And what effect their intentions will have upon existing Balance points,
And whether what they request from you will be wasted.

184

It is your responsibility as a distributor,
To govern your actions in such a manner and so temper your judgments,
That you do not have complaints of waste, stealing, or prejudice made against

you,
For initiative to respond to the way of God for each person,
Originates with each individual and not a central dictatorship of man by man,
In the way of distribution of the Kingdom of Heaven.

185

But if you fail in your judgment of Balance points, waste, stealing, or

non-prejudice,
Complaint in a court of law may be made against you,
By those who feel they have been made less by your actions,
And then the way of the court of law will decide what is Balance in such a
dispute,
For whoever in freedom were unable to respond to or did not respect the way
of God and creation.

--- CREATION AND PASSION ---

186

"BUT DID YOU TEACH MANKIND HOW TO TEMPER FREEDOM SO THAT

IT WOULD NOT BE LOST?"

With reason and logic.
With the wisdom of justice.
With the plan of habits well formed.

187

Reason is the guardian of freedom,
Only by making others free does one remain free oneself.
To understand this reason must triumph over passion,
For passion can be both a creator and a destroyer of freedom.

188

Passion is one's destroyer,
When it is used to gratify oneself and deprive freedom to another,
But passion is the builder of the temples of love,
When it is used to drive one forward for the sake of creation.

189

Reason is what guides passion so that it creates goodness,c
Without reason, passion is the soul's fire unchecked.
It can be either the fire that turns the mountain into steel,
Or the flame which burns away all for which you have labored.

190

Passion is a part of each person's being,
Just as your arms, your eyes, or your hearing.
Without passion a limb does not lift itself to the sun,
Or birds burst their confinements with their singing.

191

Lose passion and you lose the will for living,
Use passion wisely and you will conquer every adversary.
Let passion become your master,
And ashes will result from your ambitions.

192

Reason is the connection between life and God,
It is the golden thread linking each life to its destiny.
Without reason, love is the father of disaster,
Of heartbreak, of sorrow, and of death.

193

Reason is the divine plan of God understood,
One who knows God most intimately,
Is one who knows more reason.
One who reasons not divorces oneself from God,
For God is that which is reason itself.

---PAIN ---

194

"BUT DID YOU REVEAL THE PENALTY FOR NOT PURSUING THE COURSE OF

REASON?"
195

Pain.
That pain is the punishment for acting without reason,
That in absolute reason is pain forever ended.

196

That in the way of government I showed mankind,
Was the way to live without pain,
The way governed by fact and reason,
Rather than by opinions of rightness and wrongness.

197

That by it is mankind shown how to build sufficient hospitals,
And train sufficient doctors,
And make sufficient medicines,
Or be assured that anything one receives righteously,
Will never be taken from one,
That herein would mankind at last be free of either material or spiritual

pain.

198

"WHAT DID YOU TELL MANKIND OF KNOWING THEMSELVES?"

That in knowing oneself is pain most often found.
That in the imperfections of oneself,
Can cause for remorse always be discovered.

199

That oneself is such a small universe,
That in it lies almost no avenues for action and creation,
That it is used up almost before it is thought of,
That in knowing others instead of oneself is true happiness found.
