The chief difficulty which prevents men of science from believing in divine as well as in nature Spirits is their materialism.

It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.

Paradise Achieved Prosperity
materialism is too often part of problem mix
perpetuating human greed indifference in excess
materialism applied with soul vision focus
tuned to solving species global problems
should be key to achieving prosperity
spiritual golden paradise for humanity
love dream seeds hope expansion interactions
materialism is too often part of fault problems

The Science of Truth
Estimating values, we assign upon a podium,
In position of primary importance all that remains
For us to hold when all that is secondary has been
Declared Unfit for the honour of priority. Our science
Thus takes the form of an Index upon emphasis, held
Within the realm of speculation. Our mission is to establish
The relation of the fire to the salamander; of manifestation
To intangible cause. Of all that lay pure, divine in nature
We seek to know upon our Journey. Thus is the science of truth.

To bare our souls is all we ask, to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us. Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them, make offerings to them - these nature spirits who call us here - sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love.
Rocket science has been mythologized all out of proportion to its true difficulty.

Keep On Believing
I woke up in the quiet dark
Fed the cat and hit the park
Cutest chicest chocolate queen
Look and smiled right at me
Keep on believing, keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing
She said "hi" without no sound
Made my head go Iight and 'round
She was dressed to kill tne pope
Ard what she did she gave me hope
I smiled back without no sound
I said "hi" and left the ground
Keep on believing, keep on believing, keep on believing
Life won't leave me alone
Trouble won't leave rne alone
Strenght don't leave me alone
Truth don't leave me alone
She looked so bright in pixie hair
She made me know how much I cared
Her brown eyes gave me butterflies
Sho towed my soul up to the sky
Keep on believing, keep on believing
Keep on believing, keep on believing

Tsunamis- God Makes: God Takes!
God makes, He breaks!
God gives, He takes!
What tragedy!
What mystery!
What suffering!
What faltering!
But Why God does, no one can know!
Why He allows? Why He says, ‘No’! ?
This is the world in which we live;
Nature will not her secrets give;
Nevertheless, we can’t complain;
There’s harmony in boon or bane;
Who dare question Almighty’s ways?
We live a life of numbered days!
Yet, God is kind and cares for us;
Without the Lord, we shall be worse;
Some things happen which we can’t take:
We never know what’s true or fake;
The science we know turns obsolete;
Our labor seems at times effete;
And yet, men say that science is God!
-Believing which is rather odd;
The earth has built her devices,
Those mitigate human vices;
The man who thinks he is all wise,
Is sooner, later cut to size;
Who dare defy the Lord’s commands
Will slip into the Devils’ hands;
We have a code and soul to keep;
If otherwise, bad things we reap;
Man cannot curb Nature’s freedom;
Harnessing it is but seldom;
God made the man better than beast,
Promising him a sumptuous Feast;
If he lives not a better life,
God gives him woes, aplenty strife;
Through Nature’s fury, God reminds
-‘Man is God’s toy, which He rewinds! ’

Magic On The Quiet
Charmed by the wonderful wit of Terry Pratchett
in Carpe Jugulum, sharing Agnes Nitt’s admiration
for the Right Reverend Mightily Oats’ kindness in
helping Granny Weatherwax under the ruse that
she was helping him and Granny’s grudging res-
pect for a priest of Om no longer burning witches,
not burning in holy fire himself meaning he is truly
an honest man and bringer of light to dark places
The ramifications of the situations which reveal the
true nature of the protagonists who face them, form
a string of magical events that glisten and shine in
my imagination just as they do in Indra’s heaven
where every pearl reflects all the other pearls
The logical consistent action of Pratchett’s main
characters forming a musical theme that plays
through all his books, carefully camouflaged from
the regard of the casual passer-by who does not
pick up the shining strands to follow them to their
harmonious conclusions
Led astray by the science of materialism used to
lull unobservant connoisseurs into believing that
empiricism forms the basis of Pratchett’s edifice –
And I shall leave it at that, delighting in magic
on the quiet…

Materialism
What is materialism?
Affluence and lavishness,
Extravagance and pomposity,
Hoarding and possessiveness,
Or miserliness or being a spendthrift?
No,
Swindling to spend,
Smuggling to spend
and wasting the abundance.
Can’t you avoid materialism?

Everyone Will Become Affected
Houses built on stilts,
And on mountain sides that slide.
Folks believing their stubbornness...
Will be ignored by nature when nature shifts.
Earthquakes and volcano blasts,
Are soon to join hurricane and tornado winds.
No one is here to conquer Mother Nature.
She has been speaking.
And no one has listened.
People in tears and fleeing with items they collect.
Praying to God they are not victims next.
But a truth about who we are has been ignored.
And a comprehension of this,
Is coming to humble those in fixed delusions.
To settle a score,
Not to question anymore...
The power of God.
And the disrespect this Earth has endured!
The spirits are upset...
With all the conflicts and human neglect.
And this has come to be reflected.
In a way that is best to be witnessed and shown!
None of the deceit shown has been condoned!
Everyone will become affected!
A balance that is off has to be found,
And must be respected.

Sonnet: The Poet and Science
Is Science, a poet’s foe in poetry?
Why blame the world of science for its progress?
Out-moded’s the poet’s Nature-study;
Literature must wear a scientific dress.
Gone are the days of blind beliefs/ legends;
Man has landed on the moon many times;
No more the moon has myths it portends;
Let science therefore be thy decor in rhymes.
Decoded has man, the human genome;
Many diseases have a cure today;
’Tis unwise still to write the myths of Rome!
Poets incorporate what science shall say.
Science is no impediment to the art!
Let modern poets make a newer start.

Perhaps, to the uninformed, it may appear unaccountable that a man should be able to retain in his memory such a variety of learning; but the close alliance with each other, of the different branches of science, will explain the difficulty.

One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license.
