The Way of Every Day

1

I say: the Way is the Sacredness of Life. And you ask: But what of this day?

2

You are sad? You are angry? You fear? Ask yourselves: how does this serve Life?

3

You see another in distress? Serve him, serve Life

4

You ask: must I sacrifice my own life to save another? I say: do what is possible not always what is extreme

5

Someone has offended you. Turn your face towards Life

6

Remember the sacredness of Life and you will avoid much foolishness

7

Should I attempt to convert others to the Way? Demonstrate your serenity and answer questions

8

Study Life everyday and rejoice

9

A solitary walk in the woods or with a friend is better than a thousand holy places

10

Remember: there is no “one” in life. Seek the others

11

Keep one eye on Life and thus the other one will always see more clearly

12

Let not daily tribulations irritate you. Always ask: how can I make them serve Life?

13

Life is the Fight

14

Love deeply and fear not failure. Life requires our bravery

15

Forgive: for even this is the holy Water of Life

16

Those who will not forgive serve only Fire

17

Show mercy for e’en this is the special gift of Man from God

18

Do not despair. Do not abandon your belief in Life and, thus, endeavor to transcend

19

You doubt? Meditate in Nature

20

Nothing is new in this World. All has already been here before

21

Do not be fooled. Nothing passes away.

22

Believe in the sacredness of Life and watch what is transient fall away

23

Seek not war but always oppose those who threaten Life

24

Clear your thoughts: meditate about the Sacredness of Life

25

Do not attempt to force others to the Way: Show them

26

I do not say: renounce your Ego. Rather I say: the Sacredness of Life will heal it

27

Your enemies wish to destroy you? Fools are they, for they are the enemies of Life

28

I do not say: put down your sword. Rather I say: always raise it to defend Life

29

Evil thoughts are those which diminish Life. Focus on the Immensity

30

You will be truly rich? Believe in the Sacredness of Life

31

Learn to fill your heart with a belief in Life and there will be less room for tears

32

There is only one battle worth fighting for: the continuance of Life

33

Cease thy squabbling over words; learn how to properly look at trees

34

They call you fool? They mock you? What importance? You know

35

They say you are a blasphemer? There is only one blasphemy: the enemies of Life

36

If you have increased the measure of Life, you are blessed beyond All Measure

37

Have faith in this for it is the Supreme Logic: Life

38

You love because you live. Which, then, is the higher emmanation of God?

39

He or she has died. Honor them by planting more seeds

40

You doubt? Feel your pulse: listen

41

I do not say: You are not important. Rather I say: the Sacredness of Life is the Supreme Logic

42

Children are not the only way to serve Life

43

It is not for us to say which life is more important. Life is principle, its practices are many

44

You say: Life is not God. I say: God does not need your aid only your heart

45

You say: God is first principle. I say: God is first transcendent principle. Life is first immanent principle

46

It is not meant for us to reach God but to protect Life

47

Live your life with the knowledge of the Sacredness of Life and find Joy

48

Let your rituals be simple and your churches the places of Nature

49

Do not make Life into a God but as a sacred code of Existence

50

Rejoice my brothers and sisters! Every day is the Wonder of Life. Train your Mind to see it. Teach your heart to feel it. Live its Sacred Logic.
