God is.
And that is all.
God is - because life is.
Life is because - we are.
We are because - the soul is.
And the soul is because - God is.
And God is - unto all things living
for God is - the God of all the living!
- selah -
The soul is
possessed not -
of its own life.
It receives its being from
- the LORD Who is -
and life is its being.
From it,
arise every nature
of everything living.
And thus
by nature
is alive.
For all that is
in spirit - is alive.
It flows forth
from the soul
and is alive.
- selah -
What heart could truly love
without having beheld the beautiful?
The soul contains the living Breath
that breathes into everything that is - alive.
Separate it not from its Maker.
'Tis a manifestation of the Truth of its God.
Esteem it not by its smallness.
- selah -
What mind could truly think
without having thought about truth?
The soul is - the principle of life.
For God is - and gives shape to its being.
'Tis a reflection of the Life of its Creator.
Regard it not by its fragments.
- selah -
Why then, Starshine,
dost the eye of the heart
in regarding a soul without God
claimeth it has seen the soul
when it thinks of naught
but utter disrespect for life?
Who could trust the darkness
when it speaks of itself
about the light?
Thy own soul, precious Starshine,
may only be truly perceived
by other living souls.
That thou art by Beauty beheld!
Therefore -
Do not despair with those
who in death and in desolation
seeketh to perceive life in the living.
Neither weep with those
whose pre-occuppation with evil
have moved them to seek what is good.
There are some who seek,
who find they never find.
Yet, precious Starshine,
there are some who seek,
who are eventually found.
- selah -
Dear Starshine, the eye
that seeth far - into the soul
knoweth from where it proceeds.
It has come to know the majesty
of a myriad unfolding universes.
For it has come to behold the glory
of such dreams - in a grain of sand...
It beheld them in their moments,
as worlds upon worlds arising,
as truths that are everlasting,
and so - knoweth Spirit.
By the Love
through which one shines
far into the darkness - and into
the reality of other souls.
And in the Truth
through which one reaches
deep into the darkness - and into
the reality of other hearts.
- selah -
The soul is -
the principle of life.
And life is -
what gives shape to its being.
Being is
- what makes everything exist -
as they are.
And the soul is
- the being of its life -
being in every living being.
All have their being - because life is.
Thus,
all in Creation is -
because life is.
- selah -
In lower creation, being is
a soul - that is - in each - a soul.
'Tis in the trees and the plants of the earth.
'Tis in the animals of the land, sea, and air.
And gives them life.
- selah -
In higher creation, being is
a soul - that is - in each - a living soul.
'Tis in each Angel up in the heavens above.
'Tis in each Man here upon the earth below.
And gives us life.
And the knowledge of life.
- selah -
The soul of every Man
is heart and mind.
'Tis heart and mind
united as one!
For the heart proceeds.
And the mind knoweth.
- selah -
And so the heart is in darkness.
And love awakens in darkness.
For the heart in every Man
knoweth not - 'tis a heart.
- selah -
And so the mind is in darkness.
And thought arises in darkness.
For the mind in every Man
knoweth not - 'tis a mind.
- selah -
The Beloved
beholds the heart
and the heart knows -
'tis a heart!
And the heart
in beholding the Beloved
beholds the Beautiful.
- selah -
The heart
in knowing itself
knoweth - thought.
And love
in knowing thought
knoweth - mind.
- selah -
The Beautiful
beholds the mind
and the mind knows -
'tis a mind!
And the mind
in beholding the Beautiful
beholds the Beloved.
- selah -
The mind
in knowing itself
knoweth - truth.
And love
in knowing truth
knoweth - self.
- selah -
The soul of every Man
is heart and mind.
'Tis heart and mind
united as one!
And spirit is - its brightness!
In the heart,
where the seat of the soul is,
'tis a brightness of love.
In the mind,
where the seat of the intellect is,
'tis a brightness of truth.
- selah -
For the heart proceeds.
As love must
from the seat of the soul
proceed -
And the mind knoweth.
As truth must
through the love in the heart
succeed -
And spirit is - its brightness!
- selah -
For the heart proceeds.
As the stars must
from the power of their being
shine forth -
And the mind knoweth.
As the stars must
through the reality of their truth
shine forth -
And spirit is - its brightness!
- selah -
Spirit is brightness.
For love
is the life of the heart
and beholds - the Beloved.
Love is -
not because of the heart:
For love
is the way of
every human heart.
- selah -
Truth is fullness.
For - the truth
is the light of the mind
and beholds - the Beautiful.
Truth is -
not because of the mind.
For truth
is the way of
every human mind.
- selah -
We live
through the Life of a Being
that is eternal.
We love
through the Love of a Truth
that is absolute.
We think
through the Light of a Reality
that is infinite.
We are found
not because we seek to find what we seek
but because we have come seek of these things
in and of themselves - in God alone.
- selah -
Thus,
our beloved Starshine,
In spirit and for truth dost
each thy light ever proceed
from the seat of thy every soul
to alloweth thine own time to flow
through the abundance of every heart
into those many rivers and into their seas
that join into the one Ocean of the Infinite.
And in this -
Infinite Ocean
all in Humankind is -
a species of living soul:
That make us all common
in each our being - just human.
For the human spirit is
everywhere the Beloved is
because everywhere the Beloved is,
there is Beauty - and verily,
Beauty is everywhere.
