I Would Sense, Percieve, Understand, and Speak Well

Do you see what you are looking at?
Would you truly see what you look at?
Would you store in your memory that which is right?
Would you have your mind grow in balance and purity?
Would you use your eyes rightly?
Would you have right understanding?
What would you know of your inner eye?
Could one contact a law of sight through meditation?
How is your word power?
How might you better benefit from silence?
Could one more properly understand and rightly use sound?
What sound impresses your mind?
Would you let the sound which comes through your throat be in accord with what you know to be true?
Would you know when to be silent?

Until one knows better, one does well to avoid:
~ speaking until it is worth while
~ slander
~ petty, small talk
~ malice of speech.

Do speak:
~ honestly
~ what you know to be the truth

Wise men have believed that: 
~ Words become flesh and that you utter the truth that frees you.
~ Your consciousness is the heart of you
~ It is okay to be happy and grateful.
~ It is good to attend to joy and reverence
~ Men deserve responsibility and light.
~ Help is available.

How's Your Constitution?

What do we consider just? I bet you and I could identify some acts and processes that we both consider just.


One of the main reasons the writers and signers of the Constitution gave for that writing and signing was the establishment of justice among them.


What do we agree is just? How do we establish justice among us? What can we do to maintain justice in our lives?


Justice is related to rightness and faithfulness. What is a process that we can name and agree is right. A process is just, in part, to the extent that it agrees with the facts. Where do we get our facts?


When I think of justice I think of fairness. How do we agree on that which is fair to each of us?


How do you and I and the rest of us establish justice among us? What can we do to establish justice? How often? How can we make justice and keep it firm?


Can we learn to speak among ourselves a bit more effectively?




Justice has a lot to do with rightness and faithfulness. How do you and I agree on the right of it? How do we express rightness and our faithfulness to it?
Voting doesn't seem enough.
