Borning Prayer

Mother-Father
Blessed Universal Presence
Residing in the Eternal Now
Let your Presence be Known
Within this physical vehicle
Purifying and aligning
The seven energy centers
In each and every one of its bodies
Lighting the Vertical Pathway
Firing the Cross of Creation (more…)

Paths I, vi

Is the heaven we seek beyond,
   Or a divine flame within us?
   To reach out, grasping distant star
   Is opening the heart to trust
In a divinely loving bond.
   The seeds of immortality
      In each individual soul
      Lie dormant, to sprout at any hour,
      As we dwarf or nurture their very goal.
   If the quest be made lovingly,
Our eternal life will greet the dawn;
   Awakening the asleep to see
   Heaven’s all encompassing glory.

“Once Again”
```
Once again;
        Back to the hub,
        Back to the center.

Drop all pretense,
Remove those masks.

Take a look in the mirror;
        Honestly,
        Nakedly.

Paths IA, xi

During the early budding years
   The Holy Spirit will descend
   To live in the sacred temple,
   Becoming advisor and friend.
When Heaven’s voice pierces the ear,
   Our Inner Peace gathers the might
      To pass all of temptation’s tests;
      For in the speaking of His Will
      We help establish the conquest
   Of evil’s all engulfing fright.
With the Kingdom of Heaven near
   His ever radiant Light
   Produces wings for the coming flight.

“Unable for so long to smile”
```
Unable for so long to smile—
Tense facial muscles ache,
Yes one’s heart has grown
Three fold.

The body relaxes
From previously unthinkable
And unknown tensions.

Remember the Love

Cherish all the tender warmth
Of small, thoughtful considerations
Shared in moments of joy and sorrow.
Acknowledge the good times,
Yet be thankful for overcoming the bad,
Always seeking extended periods
Of Peace and Serenity.

Paths II, iv
```
Banners of prejudice
Maliciously declare
The misdirected depths
To which we have fallen;
Soon foregoing hope
Of peaceful unity.
