... is no evidence; you cannot murder an innocent man. But power is blind, and when blind power becomes revengeful then it is absolutely destructive. I am not concerned that one man has been hanged. My concern is, as a citizen of this country, that hanging an innocent man is hanging justice itself, is hanging democracy, freedom of individuality, freedom of expression - even freedom to be innocent! And...

... opposition who is in power, and he does not belong to this opposition party. To take refuge and support from them he felt was undignified, and he was hoping that he would have so many friends who would come to help him. Nobody has come to help him. Finally he accepted - this is even more humiliating - the government's offer to him. Until his death he can occupy a certain bungalow. But that bungalow is...

.... BLUE MOUNTAINS WITHOUT A SPECK OF DUST. I EXERCISE OCCULT AND SUBTLE POWER, CARRYING WATER, SHOULDERING FIREWOOD. What he is saying is the experience of every meditator. DAILY, NOTHING PARTICULAR... These words are applicable to you. Nothing in particular, daily, ONLY NODDING TO MYSELF. When you see your being, when you see the vast sky, the freedom, the joy, the blissfulness, have you ever thought...

I EXERCISE OCCULT AND SUBTLE POWER, CARRYING WATER, SHOULDERING FIREWOOD. "In ordinary life," Koji is saying, "I am exercising what is called 'occult power.' In carrying water, I am being a witness. Shouldering firewood, I am a witness." And...

... very monstrous situation. For example, half of your body grows, and the other half remains retarded - it won't be a very comfortable, restful, beautiful situation. And it can be changed: the other half can start to grow, and the first half starts declining. The mechanics of economic power, richness, have to be understood. Whenever a country becomes very rich, a few significant things happen. One, it...

... it, what is the need to think about it? So the first thing: whenever any section of the world becomes economically dominant, it starts losing interest in the very power for which it was striving for centuries. And secondly, the moment a section of humanity becomes very rich, dominant over the other sections of the world, it starts feeling empty, because now the old longing is no longer there, and...

It was an hallucination created by your thirst, by your longing, by your desire. Then the mind turns one hundred and eighty degrees. It becomes antagonistic to the same things for which it has lived up to now. It starts...

... were so much against wealth, against comfort, against luxury, they forgot completely that they were not being objective; these are subjective reactions. You had hoped for much and found nothing. That does not mean that comfort is useless. It simply means you have asked too much - something which is not in the power of comfort to supply to you. You had asked too much - something which money cannot...

... beyond the church's power. Only the poor man wants a savior God. Here, he is poor; he wants at least to guarantee that in the afterlife he will be allowed into paradise. And it gives real consolation that only the poor will enter into paradise. Riches you can enjoy here, but these same riches will make you fall into the eternal darkness of hell. The church was basically against science, but science is...

... an enquiry into truth. It was difficult, with the church obstructing it on every inch, but still science overcame, and now the West is in a condition to think of meditation, to think of peace for the soul, to think of eternal life. It can turn its eyes from the object to the subject - and that will be the beginning of the decline of riches, of power. And that has started in a way. That's why you...

... see that Japan and other small Asian countries have tremendous power, riches, technological expertise, and the per capita income of Japan has gone higher than the United States. It is a very symbolic fact. It may carry far-reaching effects. And what is happening in Japan will spread into other Far Eastern countries. Now the whole East is tired of poverty, is tired of religion. It wants science, it...

... PRISONER. Zarathustra has been teaching up to now will to power. Now he goes a little farther ahead. He says, "Even will to power becomes a prison." One becomes imprisoned in it. One has to transcend that too. First, will to power; and then relax. Forget about the will, and forget about the power, and just be a child playing on the sea beach - innocent, full of wonder, unafraid of anything...

..., trusting existence totally. That will be your liberation. He has divided consciousness into three stages: the camel, which is the consciousness of a slave, who wants to be burdened, who is always ready to kneel down and be loaded; the lion, that is the will to power; and the third, the child. The highest is the innocence of the child. The innocence of the child is the only thing that makes you religious...

So even though the will power liberates man, he remains secretly burdened with the past...

It is just like the birds flying in the sky - they don't leave their footprints. Although the will to power liberates you, there are still chains deep in your memories. 'IT WAS': THAT IS WHAT THE WILL'S TEETH-GNASHING AND MOST LONELY...

... world there is no such thing as menial work; all service is sacred and exhilarating; neither do the higher orders of beings look down upon the lower orders of existence. (273.11) 25:1.2 The Havona Servitals are the joint creative work of the Seven Master Spirits and their associates, the Seven Supreme Power Directors. This creative collaboration comes the nearest to being the pattern for the long list...

... Master Spirits and the Supreme Power Directors at their joint area in the far northerly sector of Paradise. Every fourth servital is more physical in type than the others; that is, out of each thousand, seven hundred and fifty are apparently true to spirit type, but two hundred and fifty are semiphysical in nature. These fourth creatures are somewhat on the order of material beings (material in the...

... Havona sense), resembling the physical power directors more than the Master Spirits. (274.1) 25:1.4 In personality relationships the spiritual is dominant over the material, even though it does not now so appear on Urantia; and in the production of Havona Servitals the law of spirit dominance prevails; the established ratio yields three spiritual beings to one semiphysical. (274.2) 25:1.5 The newly...

... Master Spirits. It is difficult to undertake to portray the natures of these Reflective Spirits to material minds. They are true personalities; still each member of a superuniverse group is perfectly reflective of just one of the Seven Master Spirits. And every time the Master Spirits associate themselves with the power directors for the purpose of creating a group of Havona Servitals, there is a...

(277.2) 25:3.5 The commissioners’ decisions are placed on the planetary records and, if necessary, are put into effect by the divine executioner. His power is very great, and the range of his activities on an inhabited world is very wide. Divine...

By this time these counselors and teachers have become expertly familiar with most of the actual problems and difficulties encountered...

... magnificent strains of his melodies. One such human being could forever change the course of a whole nation, even the entire civilized world. It is literally true, “melody has power a whole world to transform.” Forever, music will remain the universal language of men, angels, and spirits. Harmony is the speech of Havona. 2.

... beyond our control. And there are other-worldly people - the monks, the saints - they are also afraid of love. They escape from the world just to escape from situations where love is possible. So the worldly and the otherworldly are not very different. If you look deep down their orientation is the same: both are afraid of love. The worldly runs after money, power, prestige; these are his substitutes...

He wants to escape from any situation where love may happen. My sannyasin has to open himself up for love to come. He is not to escape into the search for money, power, prestige, and he is not to escape to the...

... a facade for the real business to hide behind. The real business is converting people. Why? - because they bring power. The more people you have, the more power you have. If you can convert the whole world to be either Christian or Jew or Hindu, then of course, those people will have more power than anybody ever had before. Alexanders will fade out in comparison. It is a power struggle. The moment...

... Gandhi saw it - and I say again, he was intelligent enough to see it - he changed his idea of becoming a Christian. In fact, being a Hindu was far more profitable in India than being a Christian. In India, Christians are only one percent, so what political power could he have? It was good that he remained a Hindu, I mean for his mahatmahood; but he was clever enough to manage and even influence...

There is a deep longing for truth, for freedom, for love -- it is almost like a land that has been lying unused for sixty years, waiting for its spring, waiting for someone to sow seeds. It has gathered so much potential and power that if you...

... had been there, he would have been the governor still. The politicians who had become immensely important have lost all their power. Their power was because of us. If they had real intelligence, they would have continued to be against us superficially, and behind the curtain they would have been helping us to be as strong as possible -- because we were the source of their power. The more powerful we...

... would have been, the more powerful they would have been. But Oregonians are simply the most stupid people in the world. They destroyed their very source of power; now nobody takes any note of them. They were trying to collect signatures to change the rule that you can be a voter in Oregon if you have stayed there for twenty days before the voting but they needed the signatures of seventy-five percent...

The fact of Supremacy is predicated on Paradise power, Son personality, and...
