For appearances fade
And no longer give joy, no longer give
strength
No longer feeds us
And what is given immediately
Transforms, transforms, transforms
Until what had been a source of pleasure
Devolves into a need
And then further devolves into
imprisonment
The imprisonment of addiction
He advises his fellows to choose wisely
To discern well
To look underneath the exterior
All the way down into the essence
He advises to see past the immediate
And to the near future
And to the long-term future
Of every single thing that they ask for
He asks them to ask for the real
He asks them to ask for the true
He asks them to ask for the good
And his song suggests to them
That they look around them
Look at the experiences of others
Do not listen to rhetoric
For one can be so fooled by language!
But look, look, and look some more
At the lives of your fellow Earthlings
And note the choices they made in their
youth
And note what they reaped as a result of
their choices
How did their lives play out based on
these their choices
And yes, look at the evidence
Look at the evidence that is all around
you
So plain and so visible
Naked to the human eye it is
No need for psychic or spiritual sight it
is so visible
Yes all it requires is discernment
Yes do look beneath the superficial
exterior
Yes do not be fooled by the initial
immediate rush
No for all that glitters is not gold
All that glitters is not gold
All that glitters is not gold
And do not be as children
And reach your hand out for every shiny
bauble
That is presented before you
But discern, discern
Observe, observe, observe
Observe what has been chosen
Observe what the different choices
yielded to the chooser
And based on what you observe
Decide
Decide for your self what end result you
desire
And walk backward
Work backward
From the end result to the initial choice
Do not look at the initial choice
Look at the end result
Choose your end result
And then, using the experiences of your
fellows
Determine which choice yields the end
result you want
Observe children observe
Look closely, listen well
Look deeply, listen for the truth of what
is being said
And yes, use your judgment
Look at all the evidence
ALL!
And use your judgment
Decide for yourself what end results you
want for yourself
And then walk backward
Backward from the end result
Back to the near term future
Back to the initial choice
From the end result to the initial choice
And note, note, note
How remarkably the two differ
How surprisingly and astonishingly
different they are
Do not dear ones, be deceived by false
promises
Discern well, discern wisely
Look for yourselves, see for yourselves,
decide for yourselves
And choose my dear ones choose
Choose for the permanent
Choose for the real
Choose for what sustains life
Choose for what nourishes the soul
Choose my children for what will feed you
For the remainder of your days
And this is all the advice I have for you
my children
Listen to me
More importantly, look around, look
around, look around
And decide from the results
The choices to make
From the end results, decide what to ask
for
Work backward my children
Do not believe in promises
Look at the facts; look at the actual
results
And based upon these results
Make your choices
Choose well my children
Choose wisely my children
Choose for the permanent
Choose for what will be good for you
For all the days of your lives
God bless you my children
God bless you with the gift of
discernment
And that my dear ones is my prayer for
you
That God blesses you with the gift of
discernment
So that you in truth and in fact
Choose Heaven for Terra
Amen. Amen
As I have said it
So may it be
Amen
