THE FOUNDATION OF A TEMPLE
By; Speaker Gerald A. Polley
Someone asked the other day why we don't profit from our work. Why do we
do what we do? What is our purpose in this world? Couldn't we establish
our goals better if we charged a good price for our services, if we charged
a higher fee for our magazine?
The answer is this...we do profit in ways that the greedy cannot understand.
Christians say we are laying up treasure in Heaven. Buddhists would say
we are cleansing our karma. Every article we print for someone outside our
own faith, every interview we give to someone of a different religious persuasion
strengthens the unity between the different groups in The Spirit World,
makes faster the bonds that are beginning to help us work as one as we never
have before.
To make VOICES so expensive that the people that it is intended to reach
cannot afford it, would defeat its purpose. VOICES is meant to bring understanding
and joy. It is meant to help our Children understand that they have never
been forgotten, that they will never be alone. Only the ignorant attempt
to profit from such things.
Our purpose in life is simple...to tell the Truth of our Forbearers,
to erase the lies told about Them by Their enemies; to awaken Their Children
and bring them back to The Light, to destroy those who would, in ignorance
and greed, lead them into Darkness, and destroy Their Eternal Spirits.
This, too, is a thing that cannot be profited from, for if we attempt to
profit from these things we will become like the very ones we despise, sink
into the very pits that they have made for themselves.
Our Way is slower, our Way is harder, but it builds the Foundation of
a Temple that will stand forever, rebuilt with the stones that were knocked
down before by those who would fill their pockets with silver and gold.
That kind builds nothing that ever lasts.
