THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN. N. C.
MIRROR
MEDITATION
By EMMITT L. BRINSON
I am sincerely convinced that
when this universe was set In
motion, the Supreme Intelli
gence also set up a continue! y
of laws. Not only patterns of
Individualism, but, a plan In
which mankind as a whole shall
follow.
These laws pertaining to In
dividualism are so exacting In
Its evolvement, man has come
to feel It Is the natural thing
that will happen. Plant a seed
of corn, and corn will grow.
Thus the basic designs of which
all of Creation is set, the count
less invisible intelligent work
ings of organisms which man
can not change has come to be
called the; “Nature of things"
or “Nature".
All patterns of life and mat
ter will follow Its design and
reach Its goal when In tls nat
ural setting, its habitat, Its
place, Us climate, and most of
all—“ITS PURPOSE". A fish
can not live out of water—nor
can anything continue to exist,
away from its natural laws.
All of nature Is so locked
within Us pattern and purpose
that man himself, with all his
knowledge. Is but an observer.
Each time he finds a new use
for energy or matter he has
but come upon or looked Into
“Nature at work,"
No matter what man might try
to do, he will never change the
natural order of things. Ho
might. In all his effort upset
a small part, or Individual thing.
Like grafting a limb or cross
a breed, but In Its continuity
of existence, It will fall In line,
or revert to Us natural pat
tern.
Therefore, man would have to
practically move heaven and
earth--to keep constantly at his
effort to steer, to attempt this
change—But Never could he
make It a permanent thing. This
constant flow of Creation will
not be changed and anything,
any person, any nation that sets
Its individual Ideals against the
flow of Creation, or the natural
designs of life. Is headed for
defeat.
Since all of existance Is set
to pattern from the smallest
to the greatest; since the small
est particle of matter and life;
the atom, the DNA's, to the
countless billions of stars in
infinite space must follow a
predetermined plan, so must
mankind as a whole have a
purpose. Not only Individual,
but universal.

shall remain. While the Invis
ible natural order of man’s bi
ological design continues to
follow Us set pattern, the only
Improvement has been his
mind—and along with it—his
lot. Therefore, the natural pur
pose of mankind as a whole
must have a long range plan
and extends Into the eternal.
Mind, thought and aware
ness are not material. In It
self it is spiritual. It Is not
caught up in the basic designs
of continuity. It Is free from all
else. It Is a part of the uni
versal mind itself; a part ofthe
Creator. It Is ttot part which
uses this earthly house to ex
press Itself. It Is a part of the
creative power and mind that

While Man’s body might be
shackled with chain and with
man-made laws, his mind Is
free, and can never be bound.
Brainwashed as some might be,
left alone to freedom of thought
he taps an essence of truth
and will follow the laws ofCre-
atlon; oi treeaom, ot peacp and

Power of God,
And so mankind as a whole Is
destined to abide by the Crea
tor’s original intent, or fall by
the wayside. Review carefully
the rise and fall of empires
through-out history, or of
groups, or of people. When
they are consciously or un-con-
sciously aligned with the divine
laws; the nature of things; or
the powerful flow of creation,

same degree. If they Iiave gone
contrary to these laws, they
can not survive and have been

with the change of the season
many changes take place within
the household. One major
change is the return of the chil
dren to tlie classroom. School
times bring about many respon
sibilities for the homemaker.
One of the most Important
tasks for the homemaker is to
provide a suitable study area
for the children. The study area
need not be large In space;
however. It should be quiet,
pleasant and It must have good
light.
The desk or table used for
study should be a comfortable
height for the child and cer
tainly the chair should be com
fortable. A light colored blot
ter on the study desk Is a must
and has a two fold purpose;
first. It prevents glare, cuts
down on contrast of light and
dark areas, so pupil’s eye
doesn’t have to adjust to great
contrasts, and also protects the
top of the desk. You will notice
that I said a light colored blot
ter, light grey, beige or any
pastel tint is an excellent
choice.
There should be general light
in the background of the study
area and specific light at the
desk. A wise choice for the spe
cific light at the desk is; use of
a pair of wall lamps with 100
watt bulbs each. The lamps must
have diffuser heads with light
colored shades and should be
placed 30 Inches apart, 15
Inches from desk top and be 17
inches from desk edge. If desk Is
more than two feet wide select
serving arm lamps.
Another responsibility lor

hatidy for the school party,
Basic Party Punch and choco
late or ginger bread cupcakes.
Decorate the cup cakes with
pumpkin faces made with either
orange colored whipped cream
lems. Individual or universal
can be solved by tuning In on
God’s Natural Laws’ His crea

is within this stream of truth
we too become eternal.
