Excerpt from The Lessons of the Ages
My Guide and I.
A Friend once met me in the dark,
And through much cunning and fine art,
Said: "Come with me, the way seems fair,
We'll walk along, a loving pair,
And give ourselves to duty's call,
Not asking Self or love at all,
But simply say 'in God we trust.'
Follow what will, come what must,
Our standard high, our faith supreme,
Humanity the living stream
That we must better if we can,
By lending will to heart and hand.
Unfurl our banner for the right,
The only power that giveth might;
Step down, if need be to secure
The gem called Charity, whose birth is pure,
And greater than a diadem
To crown the hearts of living men.
To angels help we will give heed,
Asking whenever much in need,
And if the way seems filled with doubt
We'll never stop and turn about,
But bravely on, the uphill side
Oft times presents the loveliest ride.
And in our journey on together

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the nature of religion and spirituality, challenging traditional views and seeking a deeper understanding of God, humanity, and the universe. The author, writing from a perspective informed by both personal experience and spiritual insight, argues that true religion transcends dogma and embraces the power of science. The book explores the lessons learned across the ages, examining the evolution of religious thought from ancient civilizations to the author's own time. It critiques the limitations of traditional belief systems, including those based on scripture and church authority, and emphasizes the importance of individual experience and ethical action. The author suggests that the true understanding of God lies not in supernatural pronouncements but in the natural world and the workings of science, which reveal a universe governed by universal laws. Through a blend of philosophical reflection and historical analysis, this book invites readers to consider a new approach to spirituality, one grounded in reason, science, and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all things.
