I asked God for strength, that I Might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might Learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health, that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked for riches, that I might be happy,

Lost Generation By Jonathan Reed [VIDEO]

Lost Generation
By Jonathan Reed

I am part of a lost generation
and I refuse to believe that
I can change the world
I realize this may be a shock but
“Happiness comes from within.”
is a lie, and
“Money will make me happy.”
So in 30 years I will tell my children
they are not the most important thing in my life
My employer will know that
I have my priorities straight because
work

is more important than
family
I tell you this
Once upon a time
Families stayed together
but this will not be true in my era
This is a quick fix society
Experts tell me
30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
I do not concede that
I will live in a country of my own making
In the future
Environmental destruction will be the norm
No longer can it be said that
My peers and I care about this earth
It will be evident that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It is foolish to presume that
There is hope.

And all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it.

There is hope.

It is foolish to presume that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic
It will be evident that
My peers and I care about this earth
No longer can it be said that
Environmental destruction will be the norm
In the future
I will live in a country of my own making
I do not concede that
30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce
Experts tell me
This is a quick fix society
but this will not be true in my era
Families stayed together
Once upon a time
I tell you this

family
is more important than
work
I have my priorities straight because
My employer will know that
they are not the most important thing in my life
So in 30 years I will tell my children
"Money will make me happy"
Is a lie, and
“Happiness comes from within”
I realize this may be a shock but
I can change the world
and I refuse to believe that
I am part of a lost generation

 

Which generation are you part of?

This Bitter Earth [VIDEO]

dinah_washington


By  Dinah Washington

 

This bitter earth

Well what fruit it bears

This bitter earth

and if my life is like the dust

Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I

Heaven only knows

Lord, this bitter Earth

Yes, can it be so cold

Today you're young

Too soon you’re old

But while a voice

Within me cries

I'm sure someone

May answer my call

And this bitter earth

May not be so bitter after all

This bitter earth

Lord, this bitter earth

What good is love?

That no one shares

And if my life is like the dust

that hides the glow of a rose

What good am I?

Heaven only knows

The Greatest Speech Ever Given [VIDEO]

charlie_chaplin

 

This is the greatest speech ever recorded.  The speech is from the movie The Great Dictator, featuring Charlie Chaplin.  Chaplin's words are those of hope, love, peace, and speak about the reality of what we, as human beings, are.

 

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible- Jew, Gentile, black men, white…

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s’ happiness, not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

The Master Key Stystem Introduction


The Master Key System book cover 1 The Master Key Stystem Introduction

Nature compels us all to move through life.

We could not remain stationary however much we wished. Every right-thinking person wants not merely to move through life like a sound-producing, perambulating plant, but to develop-to improve-and to continue the development mentally to the close of physical life.

This development can occur only through the improvement of the quality of individual thought and the ideals, actions and conditions that arise as a consequence. Hence a study of the creative processes of thought and how to apply them is of supreme importance to each one of us. This knowledge is the means whereby the evolution of human life on earth may be hastened and uplifted in the process.

Humanity ardently seeks "The Truth" and explores every avenue to it.

In this process it has produced a special literature, which ranges the whole gamut of thought from the trivial to the sublime-up from Divination, through all the Philosophies, to the final lofty Truth of "The Master Key".

The "The Master Key" is here given to the world as a means of tapping the great Cosmic Intelligence and attracting from it that which corresponds to the ambitions, and aspirations of each reader.

Everything and institution we see around us, created by human agency, had first to exist as a thought in some human mind.

Thought therefore is constructive.

Human thought is the spiritual power of the cosmos operating through its creature man.

"The Master Key" instructs the reader how to use that power, and use it both constructively and creatively. The things and conditions we desire to become realities we must first create in thought. "The Master Key" explains and guides the process.

"The Master Key" teaching has hitherto been published in the form of a Correspondence Course of 24 lessons, delivered to students one per week for 24 weeks. The reader, who now receives the whole 24 parts at one time, is warned not to attempt to read the book like a novel, but to treat it as a course of study and conscientiously to imbibe the meaning of each part-reading and re-reading one part only per week before proceeding to the next. Otherwise the later parts will tend to be misunderstood and the reader' s time and money will be wasted.

Used as thus instructed "The Master Key" will make of the reader a greater, better personality, and equipped with a new power to achieve any worthy personal purpose and a new ability to enjoy life's beauty and wonder.

Heaven’s Here On Earth [VIDEO]

tracy_chapman_dirt_road

 

 

By Tracy Chapman

You can look to the stars in search of the answers
Look for God and life on distant planets
Have your faith in the ever after
While each of us holds inside the map to the labyrinth
And heaven's here on earth

We are the spirit the collective conscience
We create the pain and the suffering and the beauty in this world

Heaven's here on earth
In our faith in humankind
In our respect for what is earthly
In our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding

Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
Oh I, Oh I've
Done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right

At this point in my life
I've done so many things wrong I don't know if I can do right
If you put your trust in me I hope I won't let you down
If you give me a chance I'll try
