On the Transformation

There exists within this world the realm of the upper and the realm of the lower.

To the lower belong things of the flesh, as in material goods.

To the upper belongs the soul, the Holy Spirit, and the light of God.

Seekers of light will know Christ.

Seekers of wisdom will know God, and will fear Him.

Seekers of the goods of the soul will wander o’er deserts, and will roam strange paths in dark forests.

They who wrestle with God will be the heroes, for they will bear His wounds, which testify of His greatness, and their courage.

They who seek the darkness shall find, and shall be consumed by the Ideologue, and shall be discarded in the deepest part of the cave in the shadow of the mountain.

They who delight in music oft experience God, but rarely hear Him in the rhythm, or in the symphony.

They who delight in books often know the plot, but rarely know the moral.

They who speak in public may give much advice, but they do not know me, and so they are liable to deceit, and corruption, and vanity, and destruction.

They who speak truth and wisdom will be exiled, for the light is an abomination to the darkness, and when floods of darkness have consumed all in the land, the seekers of light will be as canaries in a coal mine.

They who seek teachers but not instruction will remain as fools, lest they humble themselves.

When you hold in your hand
A hardcover book,
As you sit by the side
Of a quaint mountain brook,

When the world is revealed
Within each sacred page,
When great secrets are told
Of the spirit of our age,

When the Logos hath risen
And the Way is revealed,
When Alignment is found
And the Soul has been healed,

You’ll be glad that you read
This strange book of our time,
And you’ll cherish these words
That brought Wisdom, sublime.
