Alléluia!! Amen. Hosanna In Thé Highest!

Thé référence that Philosophy is à deeper religion of thé most intelligent people lends à profond meaning to thé business of Philosophy, which essentially consist in thé application of REASON & KNOWLEDGE to provide solution to thé problèms of human life & existence.

Whenever I enter most intimately into what I call myself, I begin to see things visible & invisible with psycho-oculus vision, reading genuine & authentic meaning into thé abstracts & microcosms of thé Universe. This is philosophical in thé highest degree.

But what is it that moves DESIRE? I answer: Happiness & that alone. *Happiness in its full extent is thé utmost pleasure we are capable of. Thé nécessity of pursuing true Happiness is thé foundation of all liberty.

*Certainly, thé government of our passion is thé right improvement of liberty. 

*The préférence of vice to virtue is à manifest wrong judgment. 

*Revelation is à source Of KNOWLEDGE. Thé bare testimony of Revelation is the highest certainty - yet Revelation must be judged by REASON. 

*Where there is a multiplicity of such personal Revelations, all inconsistent with each other, Truth or what passes as such becomes purely personal & losses its social character. 

*Love of Truth is a very différent thing from love of a particular doctrine which is proclaimed as the Truth.

*Enthusiasm-laying by REASON, would set up a Revelation without it, whereby in effect it takes away both REASON & REVELATION & substitutes in the room of it the ungrounded fancies of a man's own brain. 

*Men who suffer from melancholy or conceit are likely to have persuasions of immediate intercourse with thé deity. Hence, odd actions & opinions acquire Divine Sanction, which flatters men's laziness, ignorance & vanity. 

*REASON consists of two parts: first, an inquiry as to what thing we know with certainty; second, an investigation of propositions which is wise to accept in practice, although they have only probability & not certainty in their favour. Thé grounds of probability are two: conformity with our own expérience, or thé testimony of others expérience.

*KNOWLEDGE is thé perception of the agreement or disagreement of two idéas. From this it would seem to follow immediately that we cannot know of the existence of other people, or of the physical world, for thèse thing, as they exist, are not merely idéas in our minds. Each one of  us accordingly, must so far as KNOWLEDGE is concernéd be shut up in himself & cut off from all contact with the outer world. KNOWLEDGE, in its educational frame, is thé acquisition of facts & information. We have three kinds of KNOWLEDGE of real existence. Our KNOWLEDGE of our own existence is intuitive, our KNOWLEDGE of GOD's existence is demonstrative & our KNOWLEDGE of things present to sensé is sensitive. Perception is thé first step & degrée towards KNOWLEDGE, & thé inlet Of all the materials of it.

*Wisdom, I take to be the Knowledge of things Divine & human, & of their causes. It is thought by which all things are steered through all things. It is the right application of Knowledge to solve the problem of life.

 *God has laid down certain moral rules: those who follow them go to Heaven, but by Divine Sanction or His Grace, & those who break them risk going to hell-fire. 
*The prudent Pleasure-seeker will therefore be virtuous. It is very important that 👬 men should be guided, as far as possible, by their long-run interest. That is to say, men 👬 should be prudent. Prudence is the one Virtue which remains to be preached, for every lapse from Virtue is a failure of Prudence. A prudent man will act in such & such ways since otherwise God will punish him. Virtue with a view to Heaven is psychologically very analogous to saving with a view to investment. *God's decrees are not arbitrary, but are inspired by His 🏡 Goodness & Wisdom.

*Blessedness, which consists of Love towards God, is not the reward of Virtue but Virtue itself. We do not rejoice in it because we control our lusts; but we control our lusts because we rejoice in it. *The wise man, in so far as he is regarded as such is scarcely @ all disturbed in spirit, but being conscious of himself, & of God, & of things by a certain eternal necessity, never ceases to be, but always possesses true acquiescence of his spirit. 

*But all excellent things are as difficult as they are rare. 

*The statement that "Love of God" must hold the chief place in the mind is not a primarily moral exhortation, but an account of what must inevitably happen as we acquire understanding. 

*Sweetness is a pleasure & bitterness a pain, therefore, both are mental. It is also urged that a thing that tastes sweet when I am well may taste bitter when I am ill. 

*Similar argument is found about odours: since they are pleasant or unpleasant, they cannot exist in any but a perceiving substance or mind. What does not inhere in matter must of necessity inhere in a mental substance since nothing can be both mental & material.

 *Sin has its source in freedom: it arose because man turned towards himself instead of towards God. 

*Evil 😈 in itself does not have its ground in God, for God is Good & in Him there is no nature of 😈 evil; for evil is a deprivation of Good - though both Good & Evil work together as instruments for His Service. 

*Self-consciousness is the highest form of KNOWLEDGE. But the highest kind of KNOWLEDGE must be that possessed by the Absolute, & as the Absolute is the Whole, there is nothing outside Itself for It to know. 

*The mind's highest good is the 🔑 KNOWLEDGE of GOD, & the mind's highest Virtue is to know God.

*Emotions are called "Passions" when they spring from inadequate ideas. Passions in different 👬 men may conflict, but men who live in obedience to REASON or God will agree together. 

*It is true that obedience to God flows freely from a ♥ heart of 😍 Love. 

*The New Birth takes only a moment: Growth in Holiness takes a life-time. 

*The best way to know God's Will is to say "I Will" to God. Fear fades as Faith increases in its growth. Keep the Faith but not to yourself. 

*What sin has twisted, God's Grace can strengthen. *People will not be judged by the way we see them, but by the Way God sees them. 

*God's dawn of deliverance often comes when the hour of trial is darkest. 

*A world without Christ De Messiah would be a world without Hope. No Gift is more needed by dying world than a living Saviour, Who is Christ De Messiah. Unless Christ De Messiah is the center of interest, life will be out of focus. 

*GOD's Judgment may not be immediate, but it is inevitable.

*Pray not for a life free from trouble, but for triumph over trouble. 

*We shape tomorrow's world by what we teach our children today. 

*CHRIST De MESSIAH gave Himself for us that we might give ourselves for others.

 *What we call "adversity" God calls "opportunity". Where we have nothing left but God, we will find that God is enough. 

*Those in power need the Power of Prayer. 

*No one is more secure than those who are in God's Hands. 

*Spiritual Wholeness begins with a broken ♥ heart. 

*An idol is anything that takes the "Place of God" in your ♥ heart. 

*Repentance clears the Way for our 🚶 walk with God. 

*The Compass of GOD's WORD will keep you from spiritual 🚢 shipwreck. 

*Christians & Zionists live in the world, but should not let the world live in them. 

*We dishonour God when we despise others. 

*To resent & remember brings strife; to forgive & forget brings Peace. 

*A thankful person enjoys a blessing twice - when it is received, & when it is remembered. *The better we know ourselves, the less we will criticize others. 

*You cannot repent too soon,  for you don't know how soon it may be too late. 

*We may give without loving, but we cannot love without giving. 

*Spiritual fitness comes from "working out" your Faith. 

*Wealth is a double blessing when it is used for the blessing of others.

*Love increases as we give it away. Beautiful Love is a Love that forms one's inner being for it to reform; evaluating one's self to meet certain norms; checking one's inner self, wanting to be reborn. Beautiful Love is a Love that moulds the brains of 👬 men, their minds unfold, minds that think of Good deeds untold; minds that reflect, turning things like gold. It is Love that constructs the web of life to be worthy & strong. It is a Love that disrupts Society's ills, corruption, greed & graft. LOVE is that velvet smooth feeling that teleports man into the dimension of Peace & Harmony, balanced high over the abyss of hate. Beautiful Love is the Love that fashions the destiny of 👬 men, that today, tomorrow & @ the end human beings could mingle with their Maker.

*A concealed Love is a Love that finds itself in an unfavourable climate, & therefore a Love that doesn't manifest itself because it is inhibited to function properly. This Love is no better than a revealed REPROOF.

*A Belief is a lively idea related to or associated with present impression. Through association, if A & B have been constantly conjoined in the past experience, the impression of A produces that lively idea of B which constitutes belief in B.

In the best thinking, I am sensible that of all paradoxes, which I have had or shall hereafter have occasion to advance in the course of my apologetic dimension of the ministerial life & work, the most imminent one is the most violent, & it is merely by dint of solid proof & reasoning I can ever hope it will gain admission, & overcome the inveterate prejudices of mankind.
