    To Steve Moore

    One cannot be held
    For his lack of consistency.
    We must be free thinkers—
    Always progressing.
    And if at any point
    We feel we know
    The absolute Truth for everything,
    We must
    And have an obligation to
    Write it down—
        And jump from a bridge,
        For our worth is done.

    Paths IA, v

    The veils of Truth quickly unfold
       When the pure core of faith within
       Is freed from the smothering walls
       That have kept our Real Self hidden.
    Absorbed with Truth’s Light, our foothold
       Presently strengthens us this day
          For any temptations ahead
          That could precipitate a fall
          From the path of awareness we tread.
       With the ascent well underway
    The occulted knowledge is told
       To all those immersed in Love’s ray
       To continue their Divine Way.

    Through Pisces to Aquarius VII

               VII
    Techutopia promises
    Love that can only emanate
    From the mind and not from the soul.
    This love of things or position
    Is pornography from the dead
    To a dying humanity.
    The new scriptural messages,
    Read from the pulpits of the church
    Of our perpetual progress,
    Are broadcast through the media
    All day and night, all night and day.

    “I want to taste your love”

    I want to taste your love
    As together we become one
    In the warmth and security
    Of each other’s arms and bodies.
    
    While two days will be eternal to us
    We shall experience all in total.
    
    All will end, but only in time’s scope,
    For it will remain forever in our hearts
    And minds as we pass beyond time.

    Borning Prayer

    Mother-Father
    Blessed Universal Presence
    Residing in the Eternal Now
    Let your Presence be Known
    Within this physical vehicle
    Purifying and aligning
    The seven energy centers
    In each and every one of its bodies
    Lighting the Vertical Pathway
    Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

    Paths IA, xi

    During the early budding years
       The Holy Spirit will descend
       To live in the sacred temple,
       Becoming advisor and friend.
    When Heaven’s voice pierces the ear,
       Our Inner Peace gathers the might
          To pass all of temptation’s tests;
          For in the speaking of His Will
          We help establish the conquest
       Of evil’s all engulfing fright.
    With the Kingdom of Heaven near
       His ever radiant Light
       Produces wings for the coming flight.

    Immaculate Conception III

    Undivided    Unconditioned
    Incorruptible Light pulses
    Through a possible Future Age
    Into the timelessness of Now
    To nourish the Child and its host
    As they both rapidly mature
    Through transformational stages
    To ultimately coexist
    In the Oneness of Cosmic Man

    The Owl

    The owl has spoken
    His final piece
    As a token
    Of his inner peace.
    
    With ease flow his feelings
    While clear is his fear
    That the love he is giving
    May not last the year.

    “The time has been reached”

    The time has been reached,
    The limit surpassed,
    For the games of old
    Reoccur at last.
    
    You try so hard,
    Though you’ve failed before
    To bridge the stream
    And open the door.
