Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Our larger Being sits behind cryptic walls: There are greatnesses hidden in our unseen parts That wait their hour to step into life's front: We feel an aid from deep indwelling Gods; One speaks within, Light comes to us from above. Our soul from its mysterious chamber acts; Its influence pressing on our heart and mind Pushes them to exceed their mortal selves. It seeks for Good and Beauty and for God; We see beyond self's walls our limitless Self, We gaze through our world's glass at half-seen vasts, We hunt for the Truth behind apparent things. Our inner Mind dwells in a larger light, Its brightness looks at us through hidden doors; Our members luminous grow and Wisdom's face Appears in the doorway of the mystic ward: When she enters into our house of outward sense, Then we look up and see, above, her Sun. A mighty Life-Self with its inner powers Supports the dwarfish modicum we call life; It can graft upon our crawl two puissant wings. Our body's subtle Self is throned within In its viewless palace of veridical dreams That are bright shadows of the thoughts of God. In the prone obscure beginnings of the race The human grew in the bowed apelike man. He stood erect, a godlike form and force, And a soul's thoughts looked out from earth-born eyes; Man stood erect, he wore the thinker's brow: He looked at heaven and saw his comrade stars; A vision came of beauty and greater birth Slowly emerging from the heart's chapel of light And moved in a white lucent air of dreams. He saw his being's unrealised vastnesses, He aspired and housed the nascent demigod.
