With the fullness of thy might, I AM come to amplify thy praises, O God, to extend thy domain wherever thy light flies, and to regard the children of the sons of illumination as my brothers.
So sweet is the enduring Word -
Of worth is virtue served,
And bright as shining towers
The multitudes may lift the hours
Until the city of God is seen
By those who, following the gleam
Of truth's pure shining,
Are likewise men who have seen my star.
Journeying from afar, they come
In the night; they see my sun,
Beckoning to all who will
Perceive the law in holy awe
And the cup obedience fill.
"Not mine own but thine be done,"
Is my plea, for I AM free
From the binding blind
That shapes the dusty mortal mind,
And keeps the soul in prison black
Where radiant light is there the lack,
And feeds the prodigal consciousness
A table of painful unawareness.
Now see the truth, I AM in thee!
And like my humble selfhood be
A Christ to men who need thy light
To guide their faltering footsteps right,
That many sons to heaven be borne
As resurrection's holy morn
Reminds each one that where I AM,
There God is with strength to pen
A mighty law within the soul
That makes each one forever whole.
Lo, I AM with thee always,
Even unto the end of the age.
Beckoning through the ages, my life stands as a silent sentinel upon the hill, yet my Word went forth with divine authority. Men misunderstood much but they also apprehended much. They have called me Lawgiver and Judge, yet I spake unto them, saying, "Judge not lest ye be judged," and no stone of stumbling have I sought to lay before the journeying souls of men. Precious ones, men have enough of human poison in the cup of life without one drop of thine own.
It matters not that they see not with their eyes
The virtue of God in every soul;
One day all who progress will not despise
One blot that prevents a man from being whole.
"How may I lift that burden, raise that load?"
Will be the prick their souls to goad
Into the plan of righteousness
That will unfold, consecration, I confess
As measure full of cosmic might
That all who use can win the fight
Against the foe of haughty dread
Who takes the blessed morsel I have fed
To every hungry heart, as Eucharist
(It is my body now thrice blessed).
For Father, Son, and Spirit Holy
Raise the standard, love you truly
While bleak and black and with despair
The phantoms' carrions fill the air,
A blight to life and heaven's fair,
A transient passing of affair
Sic transit gloria mundi, tells the tale
That mortal things do not avail
With God who, passing judgment on the record bold,
Seeks to keep the soul with law of gold.
Upon the Path I trod
To raise men from the sod,
To show them only God -
I am and hope to be
Forever manifest in thee.
O gracious ones,
The life I led was an offering of mighty consecration
And it is not in a vainglorious expose of my personal self
That I seek to lead. ...
It is rather that your blessed souls I long to feed
With heavenly food, the manna from above
That glows with holy rood
God's grace, I AM, to free the flow
And not to dam as ages roll and storms do come and go -
Yet does the mighty stream of life still glow.
You cannot doubt its power
Or put to flight the beacon of that flame
That through the night proclaims
A victory for each hour,
Attesting to our cosmic power
To penetrate the dark with brilliant spark:
A flash of flaming gold,
A canopy of brilliant blue,
A shining panoply of pink.
This law is my life, Oh, drink its fullness rare,
That seeing ye may see and know that I am there,
Where surges love and wisdom's power
In balance of the flame each hour,
That victory may come to thee
Along the Path ye failed one time to see,
And show thee footsteps in the sands of life -
A hollow for thine own -
Where memory does part the dark
And seeks with light to crown thy very being bright,
As kingdom stands revealed;
For lo, I AM thy shield, thy scepter bold,
Flashing forth my victory of old as all thine own,
For by God's light in thee, thou canst atone
For every flaunting of the law
And lift mankind from out the jaw of lion's roaring -
To attainment, I am soaring!
As thou wilt, O Christ, do lead
Help my feeble senses now to feed
Upon thy revelation sure to win -
I AM law, now let's begin
The cooperation of heav'n and earth
O God, dispense thy blessed worth
To brothers here below,
That brothers of the flame may be
Consecrated now to me
As I give myself to thee.
Father, dear, I thank thee once again
For thy ageless plan for men:
Set them free and let them be
One with thee and one with me
Now and for eternity.
In radiant consecration to almighty God on high,
I offer these words in this harvest season
That all men may know the reason
And affinitize with God,
Lifting up my name, as flaming yod
From the skies descends to free,
From the skies makes one with me
And blots out purposeless identity,
Showing great strength in all to be -
A son of God thou art, beloved, even as I am
For God hath wrought and to men brought
That fullness which mankind have sought
But understanding fled their mind
And caused them to be, temporal -blind.
Now Christ, I AM, and Christ the light,
I raise mankind by cosmic might
To hold the scepter that I hold
And share my joy in law of gold.
I AM my brother's keeper bold
I know that rallying to the standard I hold
Before the vision of the world
A chaliced treasure mind will mold
And being raised as light to blaze,
The sole life purpose will amaze
And thus shall pass our title grand
As each new brother does command
The law to act within his soul
That shineth clear, I AM the goal!
Precious ones, clear is the channel to my heart that shall make us one in God, our Father, and assist all men upon this earth to obtain rebirth, spiritual integration, and God-victory that can never be denied mankind who will trust and obey that Word of God which I AM today and forevermore.
I remain, your elder brother, and the devotee of your unfolding light of cosmic truth.
