Michaelmas 2015

Introduction: For Michaelmas last year I posted here a number of new verses I thought appropriate for the occasion (see under September Posts 2014) Here is a group of older ones which I hope you will find of interest for this 2015 Festival time:

R.S. and The Turning Point of History He observed the Light Source By which the world was known And that was how the Wall of Faith At last was overthrown. And now the Mysteries of Wisdom and Love Are opened to human knowledge, The which, like him, we can  confirm With Michaelic courage. 10/5/05 One Moral Deed Forever Christ is the Archetype of Freedom And His descent at the Jordan River Sacrificed that freedom in the following three years By uniting with humanity forever. Then He who had willingly become unfree On Golgotha became free again To the extent the humanity He loved Followed him in becoming free men. 11/26/05 It’s My Decision Michael follows the Cosmic Intelligence Which in time has been passed to me, And it is needed to govern the cosmos But to return it or not I’m free.  “Don’t give up this treasure now yours,” Says the Tempter in the Earth Garden. “You are now free and together with me The Cosmos can become your New Eden.” And O the power that therein speaks As my intelligence to intellect grows And  into the Cosmos from the earth-made-Brain That technological Intellect goes. 2/21/06 Seed of the Logos As Adam of Old my biography was In the original evolutionary stream; In it I slept, then gradually in time I came to the state of dream. But with the Turning Point of Time Autobiography in history began As I woke to the “logos spermatikos” As the truth of who I am. And now I strive that there come to be Evolution fulfilled in my history. 5/29/06 Seed of the Logos As Adam of Old my biography was In the original evolutionary stream; In it I slept, then gradually in time I came to the state of dream. But with the Turning Point of Time Autobiography in history began As I woke to the “logos spermatikos” As the truth of who I am. And now I strive that there come to be Evolution fulfilled in my history. 5/29/06

The New Tempter Christ no longer evolves the world, Though Evolver He has been in time, But the Cosmic Intelligence from the Beginning Is now completely mine. And that will further evolve the world But to use it evolved I must be, And the how of that the Christ has shown With Love that leaves me free. And I am trying to follow Him While resisting the best I can The power that’s offered by Earth’s Dark Lord For the price of who I am. 4/8/064 Eve Remembers Her heart knew the very truth of him, So she embraced him when he came; He who was her free letter of love  In the envelope of her shame. (But in freedom he could not have come at all If she had not brought him to the Fall.) 4/10/06 The Would-Be-Free Each day he strives for a little while (This truth I’m allowed to tell) To take the world from out of his mind And then in pure thinking to dwell. He says it’s not easy to do at all But the Bread of Life does come, No longer feeding the old Adam of him But the new one of Life now begun. And once a week he meets with friends Who’re striving the same as he, And at that time there flows the Wine Of the Communion of the would-be-free. 4/12/05 While Michael Waits I’m a Being whose relation Is essential to the Earth at this time, But another Being is attempting through me To usurp this relation of mine. And this He does only because My thinking inclines so much to His kind of thinking which lacks Earth relations  Except through the thinking I do. And this is the way He will come to rule The Earth and embalm it forever As the prison of all who think like him, A thinking diabolically clever. All this while Michael waits to be Called into this battle by thinking that’s free. 4/17/065
