Nines
```
In the dark
We arrive
At the west end
Of the continent
Of the millennium

To the outflowing tide
Throw passport     throw bankbook
Excrete     Vomit     Emote

Paths IA, x

A wedding of diverse forces
   Within the newly evolved Man
   Creates an everlasting fire
   Where the flickering flame began.
Our journey’s return to the source
   Is often difficultly slow;
      Becoming heaven’s instrument
      We soon lose our earthly desire,
      While donning the sacred garment
   Of His ever eternal flow.
Once on the straight and narrow course
   The Man Divine must surely grow
   From celestial embryo.

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.

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.

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.

Paths IA, iv

Whenever the soul’s descent ceases
   The building process can begin
   To revive the inner strength lost
   When mortal darkness grew within.
With hope commences the release 
   From our soul’s rebirthing desire
      And the appeal for earthly gain,
      Which was purchased at any cost
      And whose pleasures reaped only pain.
   Sown seeds of hope help to inspire
Our growing faith for the peace
   On earth that every soul requires
   When climbing paths ever higher.

Paths IA, iii

Become one with God in silence
   And the Light will forever shine
   To illumine each darkened day
   With knowledge of our gifts divine.
When immersed in His eternal presence
  The Life Immortal grows within,
      Opening formerly locked doors
      So as to view heaven’s stairway
      To existence forevermore.
   Love of God is the origin
Which sparks the needed diligence
   To find centered in His doctrine
   The divine flame which is our twin.

Children of the Sun III

Being third child removed
From his solar parents
Mars soon experienced
A growing family
With the birth of a child
That some would call Deimos

He patiently watched
The surface of his planet
As it slowly began to form
The crucial environments
For the development
Of a wide variety
Of plants and animals
