Eternal Life
1
On Death and Resurrection

Don't sorrow,
rais your voices in song,
the lover has joined the Beloved
in paradise.

2
Resurrection

Recreated through the power of God,
Humanity walks naked through creations' fire,
Emerging a new race--reborn from the ashes of the old.

Paradise echoes with a new song;
The Universe, compressed into its primordial atom,
Explodes into a new existence.

Purged of the maladies of matter,
We rise to meet our Lord in the air,
We stand holding a new name written on a white stone.

3
Self-Improvement

The effort made by the individual,
To unlock her own human potential.

4
Resurrection

In the time it takes
an atom to move from point to point,
our souls ascend into the realm of God.

5
Angel Wings

On the wings of
Knowledge and spirituality
The soul ascends
In peace

6
The Illusion of Death

It's the illusion that obsesses,
that compels,
that generates unreasonable fears.

Fears that segregated,
isolate,
and mutilate the soul.

It's the illusion that decomposes
into nonexistence
when confronted with reality.

At death the body decomposes,
into its original elements,
into atoms.

At death the soul ascends,
out of the charnel house of matter,
into eternity.

Life is a journey never ending,
an atom ascending
the degrees of creation.

The soul is an element never dying;
an atom ascending
the degrees of perfection.

7
Necessity

Thirst for God's word
Engenders desire for
The Elixir of Eternal life.

8
Dream of Life

I dream of eternal life;
I dream of Soul Birds and their young;
I dream of huge red spotted black winged butterflies
fluttering through the forest of paradise;
I dream of shiny gree sculpted caterpillars
crawling across green oak-shaped leaves
on the Tree of Life.

9
The Human Soul

There are deep places in the human soul,
Where light and darkness battle for control,
Where yin and yang test the point of balance.

10
The Awakened Soul

Conscious
that each test
reveals necessary improvement,
the awakened soul
never hesitates
to mount the steed of endeavor.
