upon a definition of the word liberty;
and precisely the same difference
prevails today among us human creatures

or what harm is caused by its water.
The River is the River, and that is all there is to it.

which supply us with water.

in whom is embodied all goodness,
and who directs all things for the good of his children.

pure water forms pure ice - dirty water forms dirty ice.
Consider how much easier it is to purify water before it freezes

before they manifest into physical reality,
than to try to cut the cancerous impurities from solid reality
after you have manifested your thoughts into physical form.
