More From John Shimkus

I heard of martin luther king jr. when i was 15 years old. i heard of rosa parks. and i met dr. king in 1958 at the age of 18. i met rosa parks ... but to pick up a fun comic book - some people used to call them "funny books" - to pick this little book up, it sold for 10 cents, 12 pages or 14 pages? 14 pages i digested. and it inspired me. and i said to myself, "if the people of montgomery can do this, maybe i can do something. maybe i can make a contribution."
Kings Fun Book
We want to make certain that every american who stood in silent tribute to rosa parks hopes that the sepreme court judge will break silence and speak out clearly for the civil rights that define our unity as a nation.
Court Judges Rights Speaks Out
When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the un. you can take it before the general assembly. you can take uncle sam before a world court. but the only level you can do it on is the level of human rights. civil rights keeps you under his restrictions, under his jurisdiction. civil rights keeps you in his pocket.
Country Uncles Struggle
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.
Men Rights Forever
[rosa louise] parks used to say, "everybody looks at me because i sat down once in montgomery, but the real hero is a woman named septima clark."she created the citizenship schools [where civil-rights activists taught basic literacy and political education classes].
Real Hero School
To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. if by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. if by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? without her, man could not be. if nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?

A servant wants to be rewarded for what he does. a lover wants only to be in love's presence, that ocean whose depth will never be known.
Spiritual Ocean Depth
Bountiful is your life, full and complete. or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. that person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. sometimes it can be a child to look after. what matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. all the prophets have given the same advice: find the one who will be your mirror!".

If there is any one truth from the legacy of the cayce readings, it would be that there is a spiritual dimension to humans, something beyond time and space.
