-2- irresolute faith in his personal destiny as designed by the higher order. One should bear in mind primarily the direction in which the path he chooses will take him. These decisions are not come by easily and they exact a difference for the affects on others of the ultimate decision. This is a challenge in life which demands every moral fibre of the intellect to be employed in a merciless impersonal manner and yet bearing in mind certain personal frailties that have an influential bearing on the decision making process of the mind of the individual. Decisions, decisions, decisions, we are never free of them because they are an innate part of our life. Not a day goes by that we are not conscripted by circumstances to face a command decision that will some how affect future events of our life an the moral fibre of our personality. We must seek out the highest order to gain some perspective of the problem to be resolved to aid us in constructing the formation of truths against desires and right against preferences. Part of the decision making is a feeling of terror of the consequences of our subsequent actions and an exaggeration of the effect of them in threading the pattern of future events. How can we find the necessary courage in order to not succumb to this fear and uncertainty of making a decision. One needs the guidance of the hands and mind of the all powerful to shore up his self confidence. To this reality we must all surrender and pay humble homage to our inability, our insignificance, our helplessness, and out forsaken humanity. Never independent but dependent on a force of unknown origin, a cataclystic magneticism that pulls us up and beyond mere human capability to unite us for a moment with the divine. To a state of transfiguration where all thought and concern for the trivia of life is of necessity excluded.
