He Is the Bridge

He Is the Bridge

Until the Deed on Golgotha,
(His free Deed All-Loving and Good),
No bridge could be found
Between the Two Trees
That separate in Paradise stood.

On Golgotha that bridge for us He has won
And our crossing to the Life Tree can now be begun.

Life Once More In Gold

Slowly there came in the course of time
Harvests that were only of straw,
And in our despair we hungered then
For the life that had been there before.

But our future potential was then to us told;
You’ll hunger no more if you spin straw into gold.

Love Finds Itself in the Free Other

Evolution poured out made the stage
For the great world drama where we find
The author plays in it so in freedom might unfold
A being quite different in kind.

And then the One Who is the play’s Author
Will experience His Love in the free being of the other.

To Him Who Overcomes...

(Revelation 2:7,11,17,27-28; 3:5,12; 21:7)

What are the promises made to me
If I like Him should overcome?
Here you will find them as in Revelation written
As they follow each other one by one.

You shall eat from the Tree of Life and be
Ever and always partaking of Me.

No harm from your second death will you suffer
For then will you and I Am be together.

I will give you the manna and the white stone
That bears the name by you only known.

I’ll make you the shepherd of all near and far
And also I’ll give you the Morning Star.

And your name in the Great Book of Life shall be written
And by Me before God Father it shall be spoken.

And of the Father’s Temple you shall be a Pillar
With my Father’s and My Name inscribed on forever.

And finally shall you sit on the throne with Me
For you will have won Spirit Victory.

And our God as the Father of you His new Son
Is truly in deed what you will have won.

My promises all to all I shall keep
And be fulfilled for everyone
Who takes the Path that on Earth I took
The Path that led Me to overcome.

Wings From the Purified Heart

Wings From the Purified Heart
  
I formed for myself a chrysalis
Which every day I entered in,
But just for a while with there the intent
Of using then leaving Original Sin.

I wish I could say that I feel
The forming of wings for my hoped-for-flight,
But I who had grown so tired of earth crawling
Who there in the dark was striving for light,

Had to discover after so long in the dark
Wing-forming comes only from a purified heart.

If Only

If only Natural Science could
Escape from its obsession
With the Good Friday Body of Christ
To the One of His Resurrection,
It wouldn’t be sending now into space 
The cleverest technology of every kind,
It could be sending out light like a sun
From its resurrection mind.

A Spiritual Science then it would be
Leading while serving humanity.
What’s Found in Soul-Gold

It’s always after death the souls must go
To the Great Gold Miner in the sky,
Who washes all souls in the Water of Life
Hoping flecks of soul-gold to descry.

For these are the souls so special in the dross
Of the dark mountains of souls He ever must wash.

And each fleck of soul-gold that He finds
Gives Him immeasurable pleasure,
For it means that His Son on Earth was found,
The Son now united with these souls forever.

And He knows as the Father of the Creation of Old,
There’s a New One beginning in these flecks of soul-gold.


Going Home with My Compassionate Father

When I’ve become weary on my  journey,
Which I’ve consciously undertaken,
And for a while the light’s grown very dim
And both my faith and knowledge are shaken,

I call to mind the Prodigal Son
Who once had great heavenly wealth,
Who squandered it all and later in a pigstye
He came at last to an awakened self.

And this self was his greatest treasure
Not even heaven could give to him,
And to gain it he had to be pushed out of the Garden
And lead many hard lives in Original Sin.

And as I now falter I pray our Father will come
With compassion as He did for the Prodigal Son.

From Depth to Surface

From Depth to Surface

The great exchange that has taken place

Is now quite easy to see;

Brilliant we’ve become with the surface of things
But depth has disappeared completely.

Long ago we still felt the depth that was there
And before that we were unconscious within it,
But with intellect ascendent our brilliant selves
Onto the depthless can only now fit.

The intellect with instruments may all cut and sever,
But with surface it’s confronted always and ever.

Free To Choose

World creation’s direction and purpose
Was to bring one species to the state
Where it could achieve its freedom then receive
The power to purpose self-fate.

(That freedom can be realized in that which he chooses
Or lost to the One who his freedom opposes.)

Nothing To Be Left Unfree

The purpose and direction of the future 

Will be given over to man

Once he’s achieved his uniqueness in freedom
And can stand before the future as its beginning I am.

But he must enter into the unfreedom
Of that which he’s helped to become,
For freedom’s realization in unfreedom begins
And only therein is it finally won.

This realization of freedom for man must be
Such that nothing of prior purpose is left unfree.

Incomplete Views

The divine is the source 
of the glorious world
That fills us with joy and awe,
And also divine is our thinking
By which
We understand it all.

But different are other's world opinions
That arouses awe in them, too;
They say what’s created Created itself

And the thinking about it we do.

So down from Divinity all comes for some,
And up from below others say it’s self-spun.
