Be careful to leave your sons well instructed rather than rich, for the hopes of the instructed are better than the wealth of the ignorant.

Constructed at will
By will constructed
Instructed at will
By will instructed
If anyone knows will whose real name is bill
Can you ask him instructed him
To construct it?
Is he the instructor?
or the metagrobulizing instructor?
And who is he instructing?
And what is it, he is constructing?
If all truth is constructed?
On construction,
What dreams may come....when we have
Shuffled off this
Vast man made construction site
That will, did will construct it?

MY Toys
I have instructed someone else,
To play with MY toys!
'Instructed?
Why don't you just give them your toys? '
I want it understood that they are mine...
When and IF I decide I want them back.
'Why 'those' toys? '
Gee...
I hadn't thought of it.
I guess the real reason is...
Those were the only toys they selected.
AND...
I now find that myself to be strange.
Because...
IF they had 'not' selected 'those' toys...
I would have given them away,
Anyway.
I hate to be intruded upon!
Especially by those making demands,
With high expectations.
Oh well...
My mind goes 'cuckoo' on me sometimes.

Our Modern Acquisitions
Our modern acquisitions are simple
A transitory mode of non-having.
We hoard symbols of wealth so mindlessly
That we hardly realize the lacking
We have of our physical properties.
In fact, we have only an illusion,
A latent desire to forcefully seize
Objects that anesthetize confusion.
We instructed in the forgetful
Doctrines and taught to covet and to crave,
Reinforcing not what could be useful,
But cold and aggressive ways to behave.
See past what you've experienced thus far,
And be not what you have, but who you are.

The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes by instinct.
I add, that those who are bent on restoring the whole church ought to be well instructed in the word, and to abstain from doing anything under the pretext of simplicity.

To all of us who have been charged, we all agree that we don't feel like we were doing things that we weren't supposed to, because we were told to do them. We think everything was justified, because we were instructed to do this and to do that.
