Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.

Once blasphemy again god was the greatest blasphemy; but god died, and thereupon those blasphemers died too.
Religion Blasphemy Died
Pounce had it easier than any of us. no one noticed a black cat in the street. he stopped here and there to sniff aught of interest. wherever our rat stopped, pounce was there, close enough to see up the rat's nose. i was so proud. now there was a proper god, making himself useful! since my thought might be deemed blasphemy, i said silent prayers to the goddess and to mithros. i begged forgiveness and asked them not to misunderstand. since i wasn't blasted where i stood, i guess they forgave me, or they hadn't heard my blasphemy.

Setting a field for synchronicity is a matter of putting yourself in a particular state of mind. it is easy to think about synchronicity intellectually, but unless you enter the state of mind where your prayer-field will help, all you will do is glimpse the coincidences every once in a while. in some situations that is enough and you will be led forward for a time, but eventually you will lose your direction. the only way to establish a constant flow of synchronicity is to stay in a state where your prayer field keeps this flow moving toward you--a state of conscious alertness.
