For the school kids

Translated and simplified concepts for an elementary-school age audience:

Hello to the whole universe, the outside world we can touch, the inside world of our thoughts, and the spirit world of our feelings.

Let’s focus on the awesome light of the Creator, The One™ who made it all.

We ask The One™ to come shine on our brains and make us smarter.

We’re asking The One™ to inspire our minds and give us great ideas.

It’s prayer to the supreme divine force to guide us on a higher, brighter path.
