                          The Ways and Means of The Next Testament

                                                  CHAPTER ONE 

Congratulations, Civilization!

As the birthright child of Creation, it is time to seek the even ever-higher gifts;

It is time to rethink, to rethink yourself, to know yourself, to come into your own,

To step up into Adulthood, into the active independent integration of All of your-Self;

Yes, you are the child of Creation, Civilization, but, the dependent child no longer;

No longer the minor to be schooled and gifted, always taking for granted,

No longer selfish, driven by the lower emotions - fears and hates and hoardings,

No longer having to be commanded and taught how to behave, how to relate;

Having matured through the ages, you are now the Adulthood child of Creation,

Full grown and groomed, ready to step into your potential active excellence;

Ready to step even past the passive golden rule of your young adult Constitution,

Into Adulthood active for the actualization of All of your Selves, Civilization;

And, given all you have been given from stage to stage over the ages, Civilization,

As hard as you have worked with what you have been given, you should be ready,

Ready to step into your own stewardship, into your own awakened expectations,

Into your own Adulthood independent free Free Will - ready to serve All your-Self.

So, yes! Yes, Civilization, congratulations on your pending graduation into Adulthood!

From the beginning Creation has loved you, Civilization,

Loved you all along and as you have matured Creation loves you and is proud of you,

Conception thru childhood thru young adulthood to on the verge of Adulthood:

Loves you for you and all you have done with all you have been given, Civilization;

And here you are on the verge of Adulthood in the image of Creation,

And, Creation smiles, Civilization, mostly smiles at the time of your maturation,

Smiles at the creation and the raising from nothing thru your stages, Age to Age,

Conscious in the light of Creation, you have grown into awareness of your-Self;
