I see things now that i did not see back then, and im very sorry that i did not desire to seek the knowledge that you, through much sorrow of physical hardship to your body, heart and mind, came to bring to us, so that i could understand the Truth of our Father. What i learned from the world was to want a good job so i could buy a nice house and to marry a beautiful woman, and to give her all she could ever want, for the lust was strong in me to want these things and to buy nice cars and everything that i wanted so everyone would see me as successful and i could glory in my possesions. I wanted people to tell others how good of a worker i was, that i was better than others, and i could glory in these things,..very shallow are the things that we want in this world, we exsist here according to the ego's we claim for ourselves, tough strong good workers, smart in business, great lovers so others want us, all these ego's belong to the world....and all are very temporary, we can only be these things for a season, and can only be the essence of what we want to be, we cannot be anything of what we imagine to be glorious and great, because all things pass away Even the things we want to immortalize, those who have come before us that we say are the greatest of thinkers and inventers of our past, WHERE?.... is the result of their teaching? where is the wisdom and knowledge passed on to us, have we the understanding of the ages have we quit judgeing and have we ridded the world of prejudice, do we see each other with love, mercy, forgivness, are we compassionate to all? Where is the wisdom of all our technology,...it is in the greed of our ego's and our desires, I Lord, I repent of the want and desire of the ego, these things i claimed for my own private prison, these things i honored above your people Lord my brothers and sisters, i take off the garments of this world and hand them back to those of the world,....I choose you Lord, Life, and Truth, The Eternal. .... This is what i learned to become one with the Lord, give up all that is temporary, learn what is Eternal and become that...... Thank You Lord for teaching me the things that did not come to mind or heart in my youth and in my selfishness of wanting

the wealth of this world. I see things now that i did not see back then, and im very sorry that i did not desire to seek the

knowledge that you, through much sorrow of physical hardship to your body, heart and mind, came to bring to us, so that i

could understand the Truth of our Father. What i learned from the world was to want a good job so i could buy a nice house

and to marry a beautiful woman, and to give her all she could ever want, for the lust was strong in me to want these things

and to buy nice cars and everything that i wanted so everyone would see me as successful and i could glory in my possesions.

I wanted people to tell others how good of a worker i was, that i was better than others, and i could glory in these

things,..very shallow are the things that we want in this world, we exsist here according to the ego’s we claim for

ourselves, tough strong good workers, smart in business, great lovers so others want us, all these ego’s belong to the

world….and all are very temporary, we can only be these things for a season, and can only be the essence of what we want to

be, we cannot be anything of what we imagine to be glorious and great, because all things pass away Even the things we want

to immortalize, those who have come before us that we say are the greatest of thinkers and inventers of our past, WHERE?….

is the result of their teaching? where is the wisdom and knowledge passed on to us, have we the understanding of the ages

have we quit judgeing and have we ridded the world of prejudice, do we see each other with love, mercy, forgivness, are we

compassionate to all? Where is the wisdom of all our technology,…it is in the greed of our ego’s and our desires, I Lord,

I repent of the want and desire of the ego, these things i claimed for my own private prison, these things i honored above

your people Lord my brothers and sisters, i take off the garments of this world and hand them back to those of the

world,….I choose you Lord, Life, and Truth, The Eternal. …. This is what i learned to become one with the Lord, give up

all that is temporary, learn what is Eternal and become that……
