Genesis 39:20-23



 After Potiphar hurls Joseph into prison, Yahweh is still with Joseph and so he flourishes wherever he is at under the most dire circumstances. Surely, those that are God's favorites from birth, with God's mark upon them, and who respond by serving God fully, willingly and brilliantly, do experienced God's direct and full, blessed involvement in their lives in a most rare and remarkable way--such is how Joseph lived with Yahweh front and center in his life, for they were so close: "He seized Joseph and threw him into jail where the royal prisoners were confined. 

But even while he was in prison, the Lord remained with Joseph; he showed him kindness by making the chief-jailer well-disposed toward him. The chief jailer put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners in the jail, and everything that was done there was done under his management. The chief jailer did not concern himself with anything at all that was in Jospeh's charge, since the Lord was with him and brought success to all he did." This quote is from my Roman Catholic The New American Bible

 The children of light need to step it up. 

First, regardless of what deity they worship--and all good deities are real and worthy of worship, but these numerous deities in the heavenly pantheon are brothers and sisters that cooperate, not compete, so holy war any longer by worshipers of one good deity killing or hurting members of a rival denomination following a competing but good deity---any such rivalry and feuding among the factions populating the children of light is an abomination and rejected as wicked and cruel by all the good deities and the Mother and Father, and the Good Spirits. 

Second, they need to maverize, growing and developing. as artists, thinkers, poets, burghers, inventors and farmers.

As the children of light learn to do meaningful work and evolve in spiritual might and depth, these great souls will be walking with God and the Good Spirits each day, and, like Joseph, "the Lord was with him and brought success to all he did."

This will give the earth back to the Good Couple, and heaven or near heaven-on-earth is a real possibility.

Let me quote the passage noted above from the Holy Bible (KJV): "And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in prison. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in sight of the keeper of the prison.

And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.

The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord made it to prosper."

For those that are religious, and believe that God is against worldly prosperity and affluence, note this word prosper and think of Abraham being blessed with worldly wealth, luxury and success, all the while serving the Lord fully and enthusiastically.

Worldly wealth and success are not ends in themselves, but they are comforting, pleasurable, worthy and honorable--mitigating conditions of the existence that the holy and righteous can and should acquire and enjoy, as long as such worldly attachments help them serve not excluded and neglect the worship and love of the Good Spirits and the Divine Couple.
