On Ordination

Why does the Eternal Father,
ordain his son's?

Why does not the Eternal Mother,
ordain her daughter's?

It has dual meanings,
In English.

To be appointed to religious orders.
to be placed in organized, pairs.

After ordination,
one is assigned to a quorum.

A quorum is a group of brothers,
assigned a task.

"No power or influence can,
or ought to be maintained,
by virtue of the priesthood."

No man can ordain, or appoint,
himself.

No man can use his priesthood to bless,
himself.

He can only bless others,
or allow other men to bless him.

Thus the need for a quorum.

The Eternal Mothers works are performed,
in a nursery.

There she nurtures the Eternal Souls,
she and father have gathered.

These souls have existed,
from all time, and throughout all Eternity.

Her duty is then to help them,
become more, this day.

Her work can be enhanced, 
with assistance, 
from the Eternal Mothers, 
but does require it.

Thus no need for a quorum,
and ordination.
