Remember the improper association found in the dictionary between honor and respect? Some time ago, I had the following conversation with one of my parents who was upset because I was being "disrespectful" in their perception. Parent: "the bible says that children must honor (respect) […]

respect - the improper way
respect: to have deferential regard for syn., see admire honor and esteem conformity to duty or obligation compliance undue inclination or bias of mind First, notice the improper association between honor and respect. Based on what Father has taught us, Honor is one step above Respect. That is to […]
Respect
Early in our journey, Linda raised the question: "how can you know when you are being disrespected if you don’t know what it is to be Respected?" Point well taken. So let’s take a look at the concept of ‘Respect’ using the Dreams and Days method developed by Linda. I will be using […]
The other end
If we toss the concept of private property down the drain, does that then mean everything belongs to everyone and everyone can trespass anyone’s living quarters and take anyone’s belongings? No, not really. The notion that we need worldly laws and private property to protect ourselves, our […]
Restating the question
In the entry "Transition", I listed the following characteristics as identifiers of a Harmonious Life with Creation: Respect of Life Unadulterated Hearts Movement without restriction Universal Law, Universal Truth, and Universal Love (as Self) Nourishment of the Soul Respect, Joy, […]
I ask
It may or may not go without saying that besides skewing our perception of how we act toward animals, private property also distorts our walk upon the Earth. Why? Because to acquire property one must first buy it. This of course necessitates a loan which in turn requires a "job" in the […]
Speaking of cows...
Have you noticed that within the confines of private property exists the notion that every "domesticated" animal that is brought into the property becomes property of the owner? You have? Have you ever questioned the morality of this practice? What gives us the right to domesticate / […]
A clear distinction
In reality the unrighteous - unholy never intended the system of oppression they imposed upon us to protect any of us or to give us any rights - including the "right" to "own" property. Instead, what the system does is provide protection to those who are willing to pilfer […]
I ponder...
If thieves are not able to convey good title with the property they steal, I ponder… why do we pretend the system that thieved all the land from the traditional People can convey good title with the land they stole? Did you know there is at least one history book that makes it clear that back in the […]
Perhaps
To be very clear about this, Linda and I have yet to ask Father for his Wisdom on private property. What I say about private property is based on my own observations. Perhaps, the first thing to recognize about private property is that this notion is unnatural to us People on Earth. Traditional […]
A pillar of freedom or enslavement?
Giving the notion of farms some additional thought, one may notice, at least in western society, that the concept of a farm automatically carries the connotation of fenced and therefore well defined boundaries. What is inside the boundaries belongs to the owner of the farm and what is outside […]
Divine Increase and dogs
As shared earlier, our friends in the first farm sell dogs to "raise" the money needed to stay afloat.This of course works (sometimes) in the mercantile game of poverty indebtedness where the norm is to profit at the expense of another, but would such activity be considered Desirable when […]
A slight shift
It is a common perception that it is impossible to have all inhabitants of the Earth live in complete Abundance and Wealth. This is indeed accurate when based on a way of life founded upon the mercantile game of poverty indebtedness which requires the consumption / destruction of Resources and […]
How would?
How then, would our friends in the four farms conduct their lives differently if rather than being driven by the need for money and profit, they would welcome Father’s Way of Divine Increase? How would you conduct your life differently if rather than being driven by the need for money and profit, […]
Divine Feelings
Linda and I have conveyed in many ways that we distinguish between Feelings and emotions. Feelings are constructive and therefore conducive to Health and Well Being. Emotions are destructive and therefore conducive to illness and malfunction. In Divine Increase then, we would conduct our Lives and […]
