How narrow is such scope To feel that we Should be eternally The goal of all the toil And wretchedness From birth to death And like a play The curtain dropped And left an empty stage. How dull of us to feel that we Were all the target of this strife And that we lived but once And living then did reconcile The whole in one brief life. Oh no, a wider drama here Was planned and staged And we with narrowness of mind Did overlook the plan. We said that all is Mortal flesh The spirit just a thing To send, for pence To some strange heaven There to waste its skill Or had we not the price To some deep other place To pain, and waste again The life. To what dark depths Were dropped our minds To feel that flesh Is capable of love or trust or Livingness To feel that fingernails and masks Are all we need to dream. To what deep place Did our love go That mass could recompense? Anxieties that ruled our years Were nurtured here Approved For Release 2003/09/10 : gj96-00787R000200020051-4 Made blind and dumb Approved F Release 2003/09/10 : QIA-RDP96-00742000200020051-4 By other greed Spanned down our lives To One. What waste! To feel that all our love Our work, Our gifts, Our knowledge and our Sighs Were meant To be consumed All in one Breath and flash And by one name? Today, come wiser now The chains gone weak The tyranny of cult Gone tired with the years We look We find we live Not once But on and on From body's birth to Body's grave and then To birth again And yea to grave again So to dispose possessions Oft come undone With livingness. From century to century From age to age and on We go in march along The path that leads Forever up the countless Tick of time. We crawl, we walk, we fly We win From here and evermore The heritage of all our lives And spend it once again. Why this is no sad and Bleakish look No sorrowed thing This life.

We of the Church believe : That all men of whatever race, colour or creed were.created with equal rights. That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their performance. That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives. That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity. That all men have inalienable rights to their own defence. That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist and support their own organisations, churches and governments. That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions of others. That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind. That the souls of men have the rights of men. That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not be alienated from religion or condoned in non-religious fields. And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these rights, overtly or covertly. And we of the Church believe: That man is basically good. That he is seeking to survive That his survival depends upon himself and upon his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the Universe. And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid Man: To destroy his own kind To destroy the sanity of another To destroy or enslave another's soul To destroy or reduce the survival of one's companions or one's group. And we of the Church believe: That #W(spadT rRbleam-e2loaoib9/10 : CIA-RDP96-00787R000200020051-4 That the spirit alone may save or heal the body.
