Walk this path that has been given,
Sense its reverent tempo initiating you,
Breathe fully this breath of the eternal fires
Of sublime transcendency,

That you might take these steps
And be delivered,
Back, back, back,
Into the center of all things.

The infinite place of ecstatic bliss
To which your soul has been leading you,
These many centuries of moonless wanderings.

Feel the Sun of Self annoint you,
As you drink of this and drown
In the eternal waters of pure delight.

Know,
That as you become the center,
You leave the past,
To drift on the seas of its own uncertainties.

The holy oracle speaks to you,
The Kingdom of Self
Sits enthroned in the wisdom of wonder.

You taste fully of the banquet of you,
And are satiated in divine awareness,
Wherein doubt becomes but a mere wisp
In the winds of existential realization.

As you allow this holy place within you
To relinquish its abundant fountain of wisdom,
The rhythm of your soft feet
In the circle of existence,
Shall pattern the life force,
Of you, to you, through you.

And this spiraling dance shall deliver you
To that infinite place of holy reverence,
Wherein you shall know:

The stillness before movement,
The silence before sound,
The essence before creation,

And you will fully realize:
You are the towering light
That spews forth from your greatest imaginings.

You are the field of love
>From whence all truths emanate.

You are the knowledge
>From which all creations take form.

And in this will you trust
Unto millenniums hence,
My sweet children of the infinite universe,
That soul might be present
At the heart of all things.
