“Is it valid to”
```
Is it valid to 
Orderly push
Ones mind—
Milking it
Expanding it
Thinking. . . .
Being?

Paths IIA

Peek from ego’s cyclic wheel
To glimpse the eternal Light,
Which eclipses mortal appeal
And pleasure’s fleeting delight.
Leaving blind delusions behind
The treasure of life we’ll find
In lasting gifts of sight divine.

From the Center of Being II
```
When the inner Voice of Conscience
Began questioning Man’s actions
It redirected his attention
To the dimensionless center
Of his expanding consciousness

When the bright lights lost their luster,
The bittersweet carrot disappeared,
And I began the task of looking,
In hopes of one day Seeing.

Paths I, xii

There came this man from Galilee
   Showing life’s direction with Love; 
   Some say he could walk on water,
   God’s emissary from above,
While in His name some charge a fee
   To purge others from mortal sin.
      He has been taken into battle,
      Worshipped from palace to gutter,
      And although the debates still rattle,
   His flame burns outside and within.
He points to Immortality
   With the Christ Consciousness to win. . .
   Our choice is fall, or to begin.

Paths I, viii

Awakening to the morning sun
   We accompany the birds and sing
   Our thankfulness for light of day
   And render this our offering. . .
Humble gifts of selfless action
   Toward a world in harmony.
      While seeking love and brotherhood
      Along the dimly lighted way
      We cast aside evil for good
   Finding actual Reality.
The quest is made with devotion
   For the future Humanity
   To evolve its true Identity.

Listening Point

Pend d’Oreille, remember the time
Before time when in the womb 
Of your mother Lake Missoula
You heard her tell of the upheaval
That violently birthed these mountains;
When horizontal layers of rock
Instantly pitched to angles
That today disorient my eye;
Appearing to fall directly
Into their own reflection.
