Pathwork Poetry, Spiritual Practice, and Three Routes Through Consciousness

The Spirit (Chapter 7)

“We walk upon the Terra,
Blind to the spirit within,
Which defines our Ego.”
— Men and women of the Earth.

The Abyss looks back into our eyes,
As we search for salvation;
Science and faith go blind,
Lost in the illusion of matter.

One must feel the presence of the spirit,
For the sleeper must be awakened.
It may take millions of noble souls,
But if they all strive for one conclusion,
Then sacrifice is absolute.
The human spirit of the chosen
Will rise again to show the truth.

The feeling, the emotion and the mind
Are elements of an inner spirit.
We must be taught and guided,
However ignorant people may be.

We feel duality in life
To cry and to laugh.
The world is made this way,
Yet truth abides within the One;
Oneness—a boundless feeling—
Is the energy lying inside us.

Emotion strikes like thunder;
We know when we have lost control.
Yet One must not feel guilty.
This drive is the essence of our life;
Without it, we are not ourselves.

Our mind is more powerful than we imagine,
An instrument of the Gods we barely know;
Our thoughts and our ideas
Are blurred reflections of their dreams.

Our spirit does not die,
Nor does it disappear.
It sleeps in neither hell nor heaven,
Until it is ignited once again.
