seeking new knowledge, following the way,
|
until at last my SOUL, in great travail,
|
broke from its bondage and bounded away.
|
Free was I from the bondage of earth-men.
|
Free from the body, I flashed through the night.
|
Unlocked at last for me was the star-space.
|
Free was I from the bondage of night.
|
Now to the end of space sought I wisdom,
|
far beyond knowledge of finite man.
|
Far into space, my SOUL traveled freely
|
into infinity's circle of light.
|
Strange, beyond knowledge, were some of the planets,
|
great and gigantic, beyond dreams of men.
|
Yet found I Law, in all of its beauty, working
|
through and among them as here among men.
|
Flashed forth my soul through infinity's beauty,
|
far through space
|
I flew with my thoughts.
|
Rested I there on a planet of beauty.
|
Strains of harmony filled all the air.
|
Shapes there were, moving in Order,
|
great and majestic as stars in the night;
|
mounting in harmony, ordered equilibrium,
|
symbols of the Cosmic, like unto Law.
|
Many the stars I passed in my journey,
|
many the races of men on their worlds;
|
some reaching high as stars of the morning,
|
some falling low in the blackness of night.
|
Each and all of them struggling upward,
|
gaining the heights and plumbing the depths,
|
moving at times in realms of brightness,
|
living through darkness, gaining the Light.
|
Know, O man, that Light is thine heritage.
|
Know that darkness is only a veil.
|
Sealed in thine heart is brightness eternal,
|
waiting the moment of freedom to conquer,
|
waiting to rend the veil of the night.
|
Some I found who had conquered the ether.
|
Free of space were they while yet they were men.
|
Using the force that is the foundation of ALL things,
|
far in space constructed they a planet,
|
drawn by the force that flows through the ALL;
|
condensing, coalescing the ether into forms,
|
that grew as they willed.
|
Outstripping in science, they, all of the races,
|
mighty in wisdom, sons of the stars.
|
Long time I paused, watching their wisdom.
|
Saw them create from out of the ether cities
|
gigantic of rose and gold.
|
Formed forth from the primal element,
|
base of all matter, the ether far flung.
|
Far in the past, they had conquered the ether,
|
freed themselves from the bondage of toil;
|
formed in their mind only a picture and swiftly
|
created, it grew.
|
Forth then, my soul sped, throughout the Cosmos,
|
seeing ever, new things and old;
|
learning that man is truly space-born,
|
a Sun of the Sun,
|
a child of the stars.
|
Know ye, O man, whatever from ye inhabit,
|
surely it is one with the stars.
|
Thy bodies are nothing but planets revolving
|
around their central suns.
|
When ye have gained the light of all wisdom,
|
free shall ye be to shine in the ether --
|
one of the Suns that light outer darkness --
|
one of the space-born grown into Light.
|
Just as the stars in time lose their brilliance,
|
light passing from them in to the great source,
|
so, O man, the soul passes onward,
|
leaving behind the darkness of night.
|
Formed forth ye, from the primal ether,
|
filled with the brilliance that
|
flows from the source,
|
bound by the ether coalesced around,
|
yet ever it flames until at last it is free.
|
Lift up your flame from out of the darkness,
|
fly from the night and ye shall be free.
|
Traveled I through the space-time,
