Excerpt Philosophy 4, Book 7 - Alfred J. Parker


We, as Kabalarians, must have and hold to an ideal, and learn through sacrifice, concentration, and application to the Principle how to create a constructive pattern of living that all may benefit through our experiences and wisdom.

To get down to a practical basis, we should spend some time each day in constructive concentration on our possibilities and future plans; we must check up on our actions of the day, searching ourselves to see if we have sown a constructive seed, or done something worthy of service. We must have complete faith in the Principle and in our own strength to fulfil our destiny; we must value ourselves at the highest possible value, and realize that what others have done, we can do, and still more, if we follow the Principle.

We see the blueprint in our names and birthpath; it is our duty to create the circumstances through which these events and necessary contacts can culminate in our lives. We must know what we want, and then create it mentally in detail; the accomplishment will follow; however, we must keep in mind the fact of the cycles. We cannot go against the law of growth; we can intensify it through constructive action, but we cannot change the time to seed. Do not take the attitude that one's mind is strong enough to do anything it desires regardless of nature's laws. Remember that your mind is all you are; learn to know it, and then, knowing yourself and your destiny, you will be able to work with it constructively. If desire were sufficient, then dreamers would have been the most accomplished people. The actual fact is that dreams are negative, action is positive when directed consciously; the combination of the two is materialization.

Thought for the Day
  • Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared. –Buddha

  • Regardless of what your personal experiences in life are: your role, your activities, your birthpath, group, background - it does not matter - whatever you are in nature, whoever you are in potential, you can live within Principle because it is the law that governs us all and none is exempt. You have a potential as great as anyone else's. The only thing that stops you is the limitations in your merging with that Principle. –Kabalarian Teachings

  • When viewing or thinking a thought, always clarify it for the value of its logic and reason; divest it of imagination, mystery, and all falseness; see the clear intent, whether constructive or otherwise, and never compromise with illogicality; a statement is, or is not. See it for what it really is, and do not attempt to clothe it with personality; this is what so often leads to jumping to conclusions and self-pity. –Alfred J. Parker

  • Know that a wise man changes his mind; but a fool never. Be humble, and thus keep the door to wisdom always open. Ego is the greatest destroyer of potential thinkers. Be principled, just, and honest at all times; and peace, health, and success will follow you all the days of your life. –Alfred J. Parker
