“Truth, beauty, and holiness are powerful and effective aids to true worship…. Beauty is most religious when it is most simple and nature like.”  [UB 167: 6]

Thought Adjuster: “What prompts your soul to spontaneously sing the praise of its Maker is beautifully articulated in the lyrics of this worship song: 

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

“Devotion to the Pharisee was a means of inducing self-righteous inactivity and the assurance of false spiritual security; devotion to the publican was a means of stirring up his soul to the realization of the need for repentance, confession, and the acceptance, by faith, of merciful forgiveness.  The Pharisee sought justice; the publican sought mercy.  The law of the universe is:  Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find.”  [UB Paper 167:5]

“There is a great and glorious purpose in the march of the universes through space.  All of your mortal struggling is not in vain.”  [UB 364:03]

Thought Adjuster: “Had human beings not been gifted with intelligence, they would not question the origin and purpose of their destiny.  In and by itself, it constitutes a powerful revelation that also validates the fact that such an intelligent and purposeful creation is not accidental.

Thought Adjuster: “In the Tai Chi move called “Move Hands Like Clouds,” you let your hands slowly float from the right to the left side of your body, attentively following them with your gaze.  It is good imagery for the continuum of time and how you can remain present-minded in such an unbroken flow.

“Service—purposeful service, not slavery—is productive of the highest satisfaction and is expressive of the divinest dignity.”  [UB 36:04]

“In your courts of law, you deferentially address your judges as “Your Honor.”  As well, politicians are frequently referred to as ‘The Honorable so and so.”  What does that tell you?  Are they that special?  If so, what is so special about them?

“Trustworthiness is the true measure of self-mastery, character.”  [UB 315:06]

Thought Adjuster: “This short statement provides much food for thought.  Am I trustworthy?  Are you trustworthy?  Those are very significant inquiries.  How so?

Thought Adjuster: “When you come to Me to bask in My Presence and pick up on My silent leadings, the best way to activate this sought out connection is to appease your entire being.  Sit still; slow down your breathing, and shut down your unruly mental chatter.  Isn’t it how you would proceed if you were to attend a conference where the esteemed guest speaker only speaks with his ‘indoor voice’? 

“One hour of teaching will not wholly change the beliefs of a lifetime, and so Jesus found it necessary to reiterate his message, to tell again and again that which he wished them to understand….”  [UB 166:4]

“The love of the Father absolutely individualizes each personality as a unique child of the Universal Father, a child without duplicate in infinity, a will creature irreplaceable in all eternity.”  [UB 138:04]

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.” Psalm 139 :13

Thought Adjuster: “Right now, abortion is a hot topic in this country. Some states are pushing to legalize late-term abortions, which could lead to issuing death sentences to viable infants up to the time of their due date and even post-partum.  ‘Abortion on demand’ jeopardizes the sanctity of the womb, turning it into a potential death chamber.
