Go to the forefront
Be a leader in the congregation.
The One will rejoice.

The Spirit’s robe will cloth you
Bring blessings for your friends,
Bring answers to their prayers.

Bring forth the golden words
Be well known and respected,
The One is your Father and Friend.

Primary is service for the One.
Secondary the service for your fellowman.
Through the Spirit, share knowledge and wisdom.

Heaven and Earth will listen and observe.
Those who listen receive comfort and aid.
Heart and mind are cleansed with love.

Allow the Spirit to freely flow.
Prosperity and joy will follow.
Happiness and love perfect the heart and mind.

This is the wish of the assembled.
This is the wish of the Spirit that guides.
This is the wish of our Father and Friend.

Holy hymns rise with love.
Love sends the Spirit forth.
One Father and Friend listens with concern.

The One is God of gods.
His Spirit leads and guides the poets.
His Spirit trains and guides the sages.

The One is supreme over all.
He is Father of the heavens.
He is Father of the earth.
He is Father of all living men and women.

With His voice He sends the Spirit forth.
The Spirit stirs the heart and mind,
Gives rise to our words and hymns.

He knows we have not learned.
We use only the minor powers.
He guides us to become knowledgeable and wise.

Those who serve find gladness and joy.
They are never harmed doing good.
Ample strength and vigor is given to them.

Be thoughtful before you speak.
Be gracious to those who do not know.
Be loving as a leader and guide.

In prayer be grateful for your high position.
Ask for the Spirit to be your constant companion and guide.
Show delight at whatever task you are given.

A hundred powers are available to use.
A thousand paths open before you.
Take up your position as a leader and guide.

In ancient times, leaders were born.
They sought out the sacred treasures.
They sought out the Spirit’s power.

Clothed with the Spirit they warded off curses.
They honored the One as King of all existence.
They used the power of prayer to cleanse.

Our ancient Sages knew the Father.
They developed sacred rites as tools and aids.
They performed their sacred duty to the One and mankind.

They fought to preserve the sacred knowledge.
They guided the steps of the willing on the sacred journey.
They enriched us with guidance and wisdom.

Because of them we know many things.
We know of the life giving Spirit.
We know how to receive comfort and aid.

We know how to receive knowledge and wisdom.
We know the words of power.
We know of our position as children.

The Spirit flows onward even today.
Sweet knowledge and Holy wisdom is still shared.
Leaders still provide love, guidance, and aid.

Many have grown fat and lazy in performing this task.
They have lost the joy and gladness of life.
Forgotten is the Spirit’s power to rejuvenate and guide.

Today a new commitment is needed.
Leaders need to claim their seat at the Father’s table.
Leaders need to have the Spirit pour through them again.

The river of life still flows onward each day.
We have become consumed with mundane things.
Our existence depends on us re-attaining knowledge and wisdom.

Love can purify our words and hymns.
The Spirit can remove the malignities.
A leader can guide our steps on the Way.

Knowledge and wisdom can be expressed in new ways.
The passage from the old to the new can be smooth.
The One will rejoice as we rekindle hearts and minds.

Cleanse heart and minds with love.
Our words become our noble weapons.
The secret name of the One can be shared with all.

We each become like a new born babe.
We grow and learn with each new day.
We take our places as noble children.

We learn the meanings of the poets words.
We learn the secret meanings in the Sage’s wisdom.
The Spirit fills again our hearts and minds.

With a proper leader we leave darkness behind.
We enter the light as Children of the One.
Will you strive to be such a leader for your fellowman?

Spirit, heart, and mind must work together.
You must seek only the good for your fellowman.
You must declare your intention to be a leader and guide.

Without the Spirit you have no guide.
Without love to yoke your thoughts – nothing will be done.
Without commitment – success will not come.

To be a leader is a high and worthy  calling.
The Spirit will carry you forward step by step.
Each day you will feel the presence of the One.

With your commitment a task will be assigned.
The Spirit will fill your heart and mind.
Accomplish the first task and more will be given.

The Spirit will increase you in knowledge and wisdom.
You will receive the strength and might needed for the job to be done.
You will find others waiting to hear your words and songs.

The Spirit will give form to your loving thoughts and words.
You will be guided each day that you are willing.
To take your place as a worthy child comes with great responsibility.

Your heart and mind will be cleansed with love.
The Spirit will flow through you to others.
You will be called to approach all as family and kin.

Many may grow to depend on you as their source of knowledge and wisdom.
Many will depend on you for love, guidance, and care.
Great will be your responsibility as a leader and friend.

With love,

Rev Dorris
