Paths IA, vi

In contact with the Holy Choir
   Our Spirit’s intense fire rages
   To help ward off the earthly thoughts
   That have swallowed Man for ages
In the quicksands of mortal mire.
  When locked in Higher Truth’s domain
      We precipitate our soul’s reunion
      With our Spirit, and can pilot
      This newfound self’s total union.
   Becoming a link in His chain
Helps fulfill the Divine Desire
   For Humanity to regain
   The lost oneness of Eden’s reign.

“Welcome the Divine Physicians”

Welcome the Divine Physicians,
Freely offering their healing powers
By pouring Gold Rejuvenating Liquid
Into and on this physical vehicle.

“The history we hold so dear”
```
The history we hold so dear
Study and dwell on is
Rubbish quite clear
    And deserves that end.

If we cannot learn
From its sad tale
We might as well burn
In our hell, or
Set Noah’s sail.

Paths, I, ii

                  
We progress beyond thoughts of one
   Inwardly growing hand in hand.
   The sprouting seeds from ego’s hub
   Bring forth trees in desolate sand
To light the path beyond the sun.
   Together we greet the new day
      Outwardly radiant, and purge
      From self the demon Beelzebub.
      Thwarting greed and desires that surge
   We cleanse the soul, halting decay.
With death of selfish pride begun
   We don plumes in brilliant array
   Walking and old, yet newfound way.

The Cul de Sac of Growth

Innocence blesses our early waxing years—
The freedom possessed though not known
Is a release from prejudice, hate and fear,
Until seeds of worldly knowledge are sown.

The senses pleasures become our growth,
As pushing and striving for distant gain
We cast aside the heavenly oath
To replace universal love with mortal pain.

The Fire of Desire

When finally in possession
Of the Fire and intense Desire
To Know who and what you are
And have Forever been
Then your innermost Being
And its empty spaces
Can begin to be filled
To overflowing
With the Light that is
The only Reality
That IS

Every Day
```
Live every day,
May it be your last.
Love every winging bird,
Every blade of grass.

The rain from the heavens,
The warmth of the sun;
Breathe and touch all life
With Love and Affection
Till your day is done.

“The lone house watches”
```
The lone house watches
Summer residents depart
The October chill

Awaiting winter solstice
And hibernating Nature
