Toiled to gain understanding of where, as a Species, humanity resides in the realm of the All; seeking to discover, before the end of our time and place:
The Key - to Enlightenment
It is a mythical and mystical Key
That unlocks the binding shackles
That are time and space,
Anchors to humanity in its place.
The Divine locksmith,
Creator of the Gate to Awareness
Allows clues through consciousness;
Abundant but vague, even to the sleuth i.
Like a jig-saw puzzle,
Pieces of knowledge and truth;
The secret to its ineffable solution
Resides in the Me, and the You.
To find the path to enlightenment
Is to defy the rational mind;
For the constructs of reality
Make the seeing eyes blind.
Like a butterfly
Escaping the confines of its
Cocoon;
Allow the Spirit within
To flourish and bloom.
To be freed of the collective shackles,
To see beyond time and space;
Humanity’s Enlightenment to the Spirit
Is to grace this Earthly place.
i "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way ... and few there be that find it." When a modern religion forgets this saying, it is suffering from an atavistic relapse into primitive barbarism. It is appealing to the psychology of the herd, away from the intuitions of the few. Religion in the Making A Series of Four Lectures delivered during February 1926,
