                           I AM THE DREAMER OF
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            Oh yes I...
                 this Organ of the Universe
                         tied by a million strings
                                    live but in a dream
                                             and am dreaming.

            But Soul...
                 let me awaken...
                          and find my Goal.

                 Yes Soul...
                      let me seek Aloneness.
                                And let me take off
                                       on this Mystic Flight.

            Undisturbed...
                  by the Distractions of the Earth.
                             Where the Vulgar but speak
                                               to the Vulgar.

            Yes Soul...
                 let me take off
                        into the Flight of the Alone
                                                to the Alone.

            To find the Mystic Reality of Creation.
                          In which I am 'One' with All.
                                        And 'All' in Oneness.

            Yes Soul...
                 let me flee in Solitude.
                              To find the Dream...
                                         I am the Dreamer of.

                            WHAT DID HE MOAN?
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                    Before Man discovers
                                    a Brilliant Star
                       The Light...
                             is already dimming.

                    And when they hear
                                 his Sound and Sense
                       They listen but
                               in pure pretense.

                   And when the Star
                               and Sound have passed
                       They echo but
                              his Words at last.

                   And query...
                      faces full of doubt...
                          what was his death...
                                      then all about?

                   Did he then live...
                               for Words alone?
                          What did he say...
                                    what did he moan?

                              AND YET IS ME
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

           There...
                where all Consciousness communicates
                               in the Universe of Silence
                                           that is not silent.

           There...
                where the Future speaks to the Past
                                 and the Present listens
                                       that's where I am
                                                 in Reverence.

           In Reverence...
                for the Deepness of the Silence
                                   that is not silent.
                But speaks...
                    of the Greatness in which I dwell
                                   and of the Smallness of me.

                Revealing...
                   from the Immensity of All That Is
                                        that I am
                                  the Part that speaks
                                                  and listens.

           And that I am the Consciousness
                that both receives and gives
                                         Reality
                                     to the one I am.

                Merged into the Being of All That Is
                                                and yet is Me.

                         MANY OF THEM SEE NEITHER
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

              The Greatness or Smallness of a Poet
                       does not depend on the quantity
                                             of his Readers.

                  The Greatness or Smallness
                                      either is ...
                                             or is not.

              And the amount of Greatness or Smallness
                        of his recognition
                              depends upon
                              the Greatness or Smallness
                                             of his Readers.

              Few Readers can recognize...
                                     Greatness.
                 While others have trouble recognizing...
                                                  Smallness.

              Fewer yet...
                     have the ability to see
                             the difference between the two.

                        Many of them see neither.

                      IN THE SILENCE OF ITS PRESENCE
                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

             THAT...
                 what I seek...
                     the Nature of my Reality...
                     the Knowledge of what I am
                          of 'All That Is'
                          and 'All That Is' is of me
                                       is hidden deep within.

            THAT...
                what I am
                    is to be revealed
                    by the Inner Journey
                          into Myself... through Myself
                          and through the world as I know it.

            For the Nature of my Reality...
                          the Part I am of God...
                               is the Soul...
                                      that forms my Identity.

            Interwoven...
                 with all Consciousness
                                of which I only know
                                   the Part I am...
                                            and is searching.

            While yet...
                 the Total of all Consciousness
                                    is within my Soul.

                          Waiting to be found...
                                              by me...
                                    the Part that is seeking.

            Seeking for the Whole
                          that it contains...
                                     in the Silence...
                                             of Its Presence.

                            TO BECOME A DANCER
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            The Real Rewards of Life...
                                     Real Life...
                      are not...
                           the Fumbling Physical Attainments.

            They are not...
                the Splendor of the Physical Body.
                      And they are not...
                             the Magnificence of being Human.

            But they are.....
                the many Dances of Consciousness
                      by the Vivaciousness of Spirit
                      within the Mental Beingness
                                of the Unlimited Mind Divine.

            And to reach the Level of Participation
                      in these Dances of Consciousness
                we have to go through...
                      the Inner Man of Grandiosity...
                                   Splendor and Magnificence.

                By being a Perfect Creature
                           in the Form of a Human Being.

                In all Lives...
                          that are needed...
                                     to become a Dancer.

                          HIS LOVING BENEFACTOR
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                    I... yes... I
                             the Higher Self
                        I am the Force
                                     and the Enactor.

                    I... yes... I
                        through Space and Time
                               send forth my Part
                                           the Actor.

                    And in the Play
                            that I designed
                                   the World
                                   is his Distracter.

                    For in this World
                            his Babe of Thought
                                   he builds
                                   to form Character.

                    And through his Lives
                            he'll slowly learn
                        the Higher Self
                               his Loving Benefactor.

                          IN SPIRIT UNAWARENESS
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                When I think of Him...
                                    I cry.
                     For although he is Beautiful...
                                  his Mind is fast asleep.

                     Asleep...
                         in a self-hypnotic-state
                                      of Unawareness.

                Neither to be awakened by Living
                              nor to be awakened by Death.

                   For his Delusion is self-created
                                             and solid.

                Solid with the Illusions of his Shell
                                he calls his Body
                          the Temple of his Consciousness.

                While his Consciousness
                                is really what he is.
                    Expressed in Dreams of Living
                          and the Illusions of his Deaths.

                But like Light follows Darkness
                                     he will awaken soon.

                    To liberate himself
                        from dreaming and from dying.

                For my Brother Man
                          in Super-Consciousness
                   will scale the Depth of his Delusions.

                   Into which he fell...
                                     and moves
                               in Spirit Unawareness.

                        WITHIN THE SAMENESS OF US
                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

               At one Time... in the Future far
                                         I will understand.

               For within me...
                    born out of the Desire to Know
                                  is the Dynamic Force
                                            called Purpose.

                    And the Understanding I seek...
                                         will be Mine.
               For the Life I am...
                              is Continuous.
                    In different Forms...
                          on different Levels
                               within Space-Time...
                                          and without.
                                             But always ME.

               For the Space-Time... I live in now
                           is but Consciousness in Mode
                                but of an Essence...
                                             the same as I.

               While the Movements I am
                    within Space-Time and without
                          are but the Days and Nights
                                      of the Eternity I am.

               In alternate States of Consciousness
                                            and Continuity.

               And at one time...
                    in the Future far...
                               I will understand.

                    And look back...
                         upon the Modes of Consciousness
                               of Space-Time and I
                                          and know
                                      that we were ONE
                                within the Essence of Mind.

               But lost each other...
                    in but a Moment of Separation...
                                 within the Sameness of Us.
