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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.
