...Heaven is constantly moving, bestowing, and accepting, and we must be the same...
...If we become too addicted to any policy...
...If we make too much of our own opinions...
...If we try to force our notions upon others...
...If we become locked in orthodoxies or prejudices...
...we are violating the law of HEAVEN...
...For Heaven wants the individual to move graciously, lovingly, and kindly,
with deep appreciation for the problems of others, but never, under any condition,
attempting to gain his own ends by destroying, disillusioning, or hurting other people...
...We look into the vistas of space, and we do not sense out there some terrible policing power...
...We do not have the feeling
that eternity stands with a blazing sword to cut us down if we disobey...
...This great mystery of things that surrounds us simply fulfills its own purposes quietly...
...It rises against no man...
...It turns its hand against no man...
...it simply goes on its own eternal way...
...a way that is eternally right...
...And this law by which it operates is not simply a machine...
...although it may almost seem to be that at times...
...This law is infinitely sensitive, tremendously gentle, wise, kind, and at the same time strong...
