Over the course of human history, there are some whose lives may serve as examples to us all. I offer them as "Exemplars;" as persons who served Deity and Humanity and who thereby made other's lives the better .

These are not "saints." They have no special, supernatural powers per se, nor did all of them lead utterly blameless lives. They are simply people who rose to the challenge of living, each in their own way, lived well and nobly, and in so doing helped Humanity another step up the Path.

Some saw their ideas take root and blossom. Others were killed for their thoughts and teachings. Others never knew how much they had given us.

You may not recognize all the names. It would be worth your while to learn what they wrote, said and did, for these are people on whom we could do well to model our ideals, lives and aspirations.
