These short essays will be appreciated by those who like to contemplate some of the finer points of the practical human spirit's achievements. As mature human beings we are able to do much for our fellow humans by learning the power of compassion and using it to solve life problems for those not quite as advanced as ourselves. The great challenge for our century is the evolution- or resurrection-growth of those who are called or even chosen to evolve to the point of completion, however they have little or no understanding of what is involved. As a consequence they mistake the often painful challenges to their creative capacities for misfortunes and grief rather than perceiving them as means towards communal reality and eternal life.
