I Went to the Democrat’s caucus information meeting last night at the public’s library.
In leaving with some campaign’s sticker stuck on my coat at the meeting’s end I was asked to express opinion and then accosted, assaulted, by one of the meeting organizers as my being divisive and angry in that. I am thankful for that consult now for like Tulsi critiquing the nature of partisan party division in Congress I will vote ‘present’ in affect for the caucus by going to the communal group Dome meditation during the caucus hour. The meeting was large wherein I came to caution with friends against mixing with people in their human policies and outward forms of government - showing in all ages that those that were called to be the Lord’s people in nature had been ruined and destroyed by such associations, manifesting clearly by scripture testimonies and other records that our strength and preservation consisted in standing alone and not to be counted among the people or nations who were setting up partial and party interests -one against another- which is the true ground of all war and bloodshed, being actuated by the spirit of pride and wrath which is always opposed to the true Christian Spirit that breathes peace on earth and good will to all men. And therefore, we cannot use any coercive force or compulsion by any means whatever - not being overcome with evil, but overcoming evil with good. And although there were many opposite spirits present who, in their creaturely wisdom and human policy, are pleading for those kinds of associations and taking part with these political governments, yet Truth favors and comes into a good degree of dominion over all - to the strengthening and encouraging by demonstration the true travailers for Zion’s prosperity. In our meditating churches and such places of spiritual practice like the Domes, Truth is favored in an eminent manner where many hearts are deeply bowed from the sensible evidence of the prevailing of the devine power that is in dominion over all, to the tendering of hearts of most present. This is a precious season, worthy of thankful remembrance and humble gratitude to the Blessed Author of Nature and all our rich mercies and blessing, which is over all, blessing forever. The crowd of the meeting appeared in a low state, as to a right ordering of the affairs of the party by reason whereof many and great were the apparent divisions among them. The greater part are too much captivated by a worldly spirit which leads into a neglect of attending to their True spiritual nature and a great carelessness in respect to the right ordering of their families and community. By reason many undue liberties have got in among them wounding the faith. Om how the gold becomes dim, how is the most fine gold changed! Some that retain a good degree of outward spiritual plainness themselves have nevertheless for want of dwelling enough in the pure Spring of Life suffered the eye of their minds to be so far blinded by the god of this world as not only to suffer these improper indulgences but in some instances are ready to plead for them. The sense thereof much affected my mind under which exercise I was led forth in to a line of close searching labor to more diligence and honest care in those respects which afforded degrees in comfort which is a treasure I prefer to all this world’s glory and honor. Stirring up to more vigilance in a careful waiting for the arising of the Spring of Life, as nothing short of the divine power and renewed quickenings of the Holy Spirit, can qualify for the promotion of good order and discipline in the community. I vote ‘present’.
