Coming to the Other in Different Ways

And Consecrated, Too! If you were the left hand And I were the right,  I’d yearn for a master Who prayed every night. 12/23/06 Much in Little Christ created the Jesus Project, Then into Jesus He came And empowered him with His very own Being And gave him also His Name. “Follow me,” He then said, “To where I’m going. (Demonstrating ‘how’ for all to see). "That’s  if you will, of course,” He went on, “And want to come home to Trinity.”  2/1/07 On Awakening A man passed by a lovely rose And was scratched by it quite badly, And as the blood flowed forth from him He uttered words most angrily. The rose awoke from its sun-devotion, Its state of dreaming bliss, And said to herself, how could I so lovely Be responsible for anything such as this? (Waking to one’s nature can sometimes bring pain, But often it’s the only way self-knowledge to gain.) 9/27/07 Question and Answer “What is greater Than Love?” He asked. “He who loves,”  I replied and passed Into the realm Of the Moral Sun, Where Lover and Love Are always One. 12/5/07 Freedom To Love the Other Without the Other I couldn’t be Self-conscious of The I of me. My challenge now Is to endeavor To be I-conscious Without the Other. Unless achieved Dependency On the Other Keeps me unfree. Only in sleep And in Death is it gone, But with it then goes My I-consciousness won. I love this Other That’s awakened me, But that love can’t be perfect Until I’ve made myself free. 1/4/11 Bittersweet Life was bitter most every day Since from the Garden I was sent away. But He brought sweetness  To the marrow of me  Saying, "I shall forever abide in thee.”

Shamed into Fulfilment While I was selfing and being selfed Just the other day, Into my self, so very capacious, The natural world came to say That it was really dissatisfied And loudly it complained, And demanded to know when I would begin  That for which I had been ordained. There was much shame in this for me To be so by it chastised, And the Cosmic Intelligence - that now is mine - I immediately exercised. So now we’re becoming quite happy together As fulfilled am I while evolving world nature. 12/7/06   Seriousness I won’t be too serious about the Passing Show, Its appearance, its substance, its form, Its endless parading for my pleasure and pain And its state of being endlessly reborn; I’ll keep my seriousness for drawing out God Who’s spellbound in the parading I see, And serious too about drawing out His Son In the Passing Show of me. (This seriousness is, I think you will find, The true essential of a “Michael mind.” 4/10/07 In Purity Circling He was an old ocean steamship Covered with salt, smoke and grime, But filled with rich cargo and heading home After voyaging a very long  time. She was heading for the open sea  And her voyage had just begun. No cargo had she, but so graceful was she As she sailed to the rising sun. They met quite far from the harbor And each admired the other, And the innocent one and the experienced one Touched and then circled together. He  told her of all his adventures Which on land and sea he’d found And the love in the telling and listening In a timelessness both of them bound. But the old one woke first from that dreaming Time’s tide told him he must go, And as she still dreamed, full steam ahead He signalled his engines below. And as he broke free, he many tears shed  But no more than the one left behind, But that pure loving circling planted a seed For themselves and all of mankind. 5/19/07 To Gain Allegiance of His Power Before the Dragon All bowed are we Because of spirit lethargy. Unlethargized We would see The Dragon before us  On bended knee. The choice is ours, whether bowed we remain Or receive Dragon allegiance when True Self we attain. 12/11/09
