Through these words i see a clear grasp of my own cosmology and understanding untainted by the accumulated error of our present 'knowledge'. Yet we do have an excessive veneration of the almighty which merely enhances the potential influense of the priests.
It is enough to know that GOD is knowable and that the over riding rule is love and that physical death itself is completely irrelevant to our immortality.
Our researches have established that our Earth is a completely engineered construct using the capability to 'fold time' and insert actions with current consequences. Additional reports argue as well that our Earth is unique in the Universe and must be a grand experiment. I do not want to believe that but it may be true.
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
THE HYMN FROM THE BOOK OF SONGS - 5 Hymn Fragments
The following paragraphs come from fragments and
may originally have formed parts of more than one hymn.
1 believe in You, Great God of Life, Lord of the
Kingdom of Light, Dweller in the Eternal Silences. From the centre of Your
domain there is an outflowing which sustains all life, and in You rest the
hopes of all men.
You are The Ruler of All Spheres and Your
dominion is unchallengeable. Under Your benevolent guidance Earth continues to
exist and hold together, changing for nought but the benefit of man. We are
Your children and You are our Father.
I believe in the Sacred Spirit of Inspiration
which enters the hearts of men, flowing out from You and joined with You and
yet separate, the Spirit to whom our fathers of old gave the greatest
reverence, the Beautiful One, the Gentle One, the Inspirational One who first
taught men to love and who drew aside the veil to show them beauty.
I believe in the Great Kingdom Beyond Earth,
where, in the Place of Light the souls of men, if worthy, find a perfection not
known here. The light which is in the Region Beyond the Veil is not as earthly
light, it has a sustaining quality, it is a vitalising light indescribable in
earthly words.
O Great Dweller in the vast silences which are
not as the silence known on Earth, who attends this sacred place where men
gather in devotion. We who are here see You revealed as a beacon light for
those whose hearts dwell in the darkness of ignorance. We rejoice in the strengthening
emanation which flows out towards those with the wisdom to attract and absorb
it.
Here, in the Hidden Place, we Your servants are
gathered, and we bow before You, O Great One. We bow in humility, not in
servility; we bow in recognition of our earthly limitations. We are overcome
with awe and can but stand in worshipfiil silence before the
vision of Your glory. It shines before our eyes, and our mouths carmot open.
Here, on this Sacred Ground, we hardly dare to
utter the words of prayer, for the sentences formed by men are so unworthy of
their purpose, when used and spoken before You. Man is limited in knowledge, in
understanding and in ability, it is the recognition of this which makes him
humble.
O Great One, who understands even the speech of
the dumb man, help us to expand our knowledge and understanding. We, for our
part, will not remain inactive but will ever sincerely struggle to reach out
towards You, striving even to extend beyond our limitations. Were it otherwise
we would be dishonest in seeking Your help.
Help us to remove the disfiguring stains upon
our everlasting spirit, and when earthly life is renewed in us let us not be
too disadvantaged. Teach us to pray without prayerfulness, so that the taint of
self-seeking is eliminated. When we petition, let this not be in the spirit of
selfishness.
