money in it, more territory, more sovereignty, and other
kinds of enly suffer by it, in my opinion." so said Mark Twain.
"She has been so eager to get every stake that appeared
on the green clomolument (oil?), than there is in any other game
that is played. But Christendom has been playing it badly of late,
and must certaith that many of The People who Sit in Darkness,
have noticed it -- they HAVE noticed it, and they all have begun
to show alarm! They have become suspicious of the ...
Blessings of Civilization!"

Thoughts manifest as the word.
Words manifest as the deed.
Deeds develop into a habit.
Habits harden into character.

"So watch the thought and its ways with care.
And let it spring from love...
Born out of concern__ For All Beings!"

"A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge
Slowly accumulated in the course of centuries.
Elements difficult at times to justify by logic__
But justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere,
Since they open up for man... his inner distance."

"Time occupies our full attention__ so blotting out Eternity?
The idea seems to be that our lives have been taken over:
So totally by invasive and pervasive communications technologies
- television, e-mail, cell phones and whatever -
That we are no longer able to engage...
In any kind of meaningful inner life." so saith ~ Gary Eberle.

Reverend Charles Kingsley once said:
"When I walk the fields, I am oppressed now and then
With an innate feeling that everything I see has a meaning:
If I could but understand it__
And this feeling of being surrounded by truths, which I cannot grasp
Amounts to indescribable awe__ sometimes?"
