==== OUR TRUE CONSCIOUSNESS ====
WHEN we have truly learned to live
\\ In Consciousness,
\\ To move and have our being there—
\\ No foes oppress,
\\ And though the world may never see,
\\ We walk the freest of the free!

We talk with unseen friends beside
\\ The Secret Way,
\\ While words to those around, in flesh,
\\ No thought convey.
\\ And in this strange remoteness wist
\\ How heavy is the mortal mist.

How Light the Spirit Consciousness
\\ In which we move!
\\ And Love! How great Thy wondrous Power!
\\ That we may prove
\\ The Temple, built not with hands,
\\ Is everywhere that Life demands.

In darkness must the seed take root
\\ And then the sunshine draws the shoot
\\ Up, up, up!
\\ So it is through sorrow’s night
\\ We must let Love’s Living Light
\\ Fill our empty cup.

As the babe within the womb,
\\ So God’s Temple in the tomb.
\\ —S. B.
