Statement 8 (Vol 4 No 29)

The new being is manifested in a good spirit in the world – the spirit of goodness, compassion and beauty.  The good spirit is the best expression of people’s lives and their aspirations, and becomes a major focus of their worship.


The nature of ‘new being’ is manifest, unfurled

By gifts of that good spirit abroad throughout the world;

This spirit of compassion, of kindness and of grace,

Of goodness and of beauty – this spirit we embrace.

 

This good and present spirit, this energy we sense

Gives voice to human values in all their excellence;

This spirit gives expression to that which is the best

In all our lives and strivings; and with that we are blest.

 

Our boldest aspirations, intentions of good-will –

Expressed by this good spirit, alive and in us still,

Lead us into our worship, to concentrate our gaze

And focus on that spirit, to meditate and praise.
