We have been shown all we need to grow into a healthy, viable earth community. We either learn and grow with the simple truth of God’s messages, or we lose our tickets to the universe. In The Seeds of Simple Truth, author Verle D. Line offers an honest review of the historical consequences, and often poor end results, of our past and current behaviors and demonstrates the need for God’s simple truth. Line looks at the real world versus the one humans built. It discusses: • how much religion has been complicated by human perceptions; • where we are in the universe; • how much we think we know and how great is the amount we don’t know; • the human ego and the vices that inhibit societies growth; and • the duality of humans in the physical body and an ethereal soul. The Seeds of Simple Truth explores both the positive and negative sides of our egos. It asks us to reflect on the influence of our egos and vices so we can achieve positive growth. It sends a plea to de-emphasize devotions to our manmade bells and whistles, and instead, place our values on the uncomplicated simple truth.

Do you really and truly believe that you or any other human being can remain absolutely committed to another for the rest of their lives when they couldn't remain committed to themselves and I am not necessarily talking about infidelity. Go to the mirror and fully scrutinize yourself. Do you see any extra pounds you may have put on because you couldn't remain committed enough to yourself to put down that extra piece of cake. Do you recall lying to yourself about quitting smoking. What about that exercise regime that you lied to yourself about. The first and most important thing in life is to realize and recognize the fact that we are humans first and live within that knowledge and do the very best we can. Each partner must come to know that we are all human and will therefore do humanely things. We must therefore respect some of the weaknesses of our partner.
The monochrome—a single-color work of art—is highly ambiguous. For some it epitomizes purity and is art reduced to its essence. For others it is just a stunt, the proverbial emperor’s new clothes. Why are monochrome works both so admired and such an easy target of scorn? Why does a monochrome look so simple and yet is so challenging to comprehend? And what is it that drives artists to create such works? In this illuminating book, Simon Morley unpacks the meanings of the monochrome as it has developed internationally over the twentieth century to today. In doing so, he also explores how artists have understood what they make, how critics variously interpret it, and how art is encountered by viewers.
