A note about Peace
In exploring the meaning of the word "dignity", we came across the definition of "serenity" and "peace". I thought it important, at least for myself, to make a separate entry just to clearly point out the additional understanding that I received in relationship to Peace […]
Have dignity?
Recently we learned that Respect conveys the understanding of being benign. We also learned that benign conveys the understanding of gentleness and therefore uncovers the Nobility of us, the People.

Ending the spell - continued
There is another way in which it is Right and Proper to be able to "cut through the bull" so to speak. It is in relation to improper relationships and connections to others. Early in our journey, Father explained the following as a necessary condition to progress in our Walk with Him: You […]
Ending the spell
lively: keen keen: able to cut or penetrate readily mental acuteness refined perception Here we seem to have reached a contradiction.
