This is the understanding I came to have of what I was teaching.
This school is My
Church,
and I am the Pastor of
this holy place.
This is My Spot on
Earth in which to be effective,
the only place on
Earth over which I have Dominion.
Conceived in Love.
Whose Divine Purpose
it is
to glorify the Human
Spirit
and discipline the
mind and body to it’s Will.
To be a Friend.
To Teach each of my
Pupils
the Natural Laws that
govern Every Thing;
to tune them in to the
Diversity of Truth
and the Vastness of
the Universe;
to free them from the
Darkness of Superstition;
from Mistrust and Fear
of fellow humans;
And to trust
Themselves;
to teach the holy art
of Gratitude
and celebrate with
them the Blessings Of Our Age;
to cultivate that holy
mix of
Humility, Personal
Power, Empathy and Joy
which resurrects the
soul
and frees the heart to
feel Compassionate toward Self and Others.
To guide them to such
discoveries
that they may reach
whatever Heights they may aspire to;
take responsibility
for the Depths that they explore;
add to the Beauty of
this world;
reduce Suffering;
increase Pleasure;
triumph over Adversity
and help others do the same;
see the Connectedness
of all things;
accept Aloneness and
the Great Unknown;
Forgive;
and wherever they are
in the vast millieu of Life,
to dance in gratitude
with a song on their lips
whose lyrics are
simply, “Yes! Yes! Yes!”
And in the end,
to have each of my
pupils come to know
and to Enjoy
the God within
Themselves,
and Everything,
and Everyone.
