I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

Aim for the chopping block. if you aim for the wood, you will have nothing. aim past the wood, aim through the wood; aim for the chopping block.
Block Past Woods
God saves - but not now, and not here. his salvation is on layaway. like all grifters, he asks you to pay now and take it on faith that you will receive later. whereas women offer a different sort of salvation, more immediate and fulfilling. they don't put off their love for a distant, ill-defined eternity but make a gift of it in the here and now, frequently to those who deserve it least. so it was in my case. so it is for many. the devil and woman have been allies against god from the beginning.
Devil Allies Different
Our joy, peace and happiness depend very much on our practice of recognizing and transforming habit energies. there are positive habit energies that we have to cultivate, and negative habit energies that we have to recognize, embrace and transform. the energy with which we do these things is mindfulness.

Times have changed, and science has made great progress, and so has our work; but our principles have only been confirmed, and along with them our conviction that mankind can hope for a solution to its problems, among which the most urgent are those of peace and unity, only by turning its attention and energies to the discovery of the child and to the development of the great potentialities of the human personality in the course of its formation.
Children Discovery Times Have Changed
To me the sole hope of human salvation lies in teaching man to regard himself as an experiment in the realization of god, to regard his hands as god's hand, his brain as god's brain, his purpose as god's purpose. he must regard god as a helpless longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.

Great occasions for serving god come seldom, but little ones surround us daily.

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.
