The Inner Life

---

O WOMAN! Thou that sleepest!
Thou, that lookest to man and reflects
All his sins and shortcomings,
Misery, Want and Degradation;
Awake! Look up! and Behold
Thy Christ, Thy Saviour’s Love—
Him who even now shines upon thee,
Even as the Sun shines upon the Earth,
Bringing forth and multiplying
All the God-given possibilities within.

O Woman, Thou who art awakening,
Be true, that thou mayest reflect His Light;
Come close, give all thou hast
That God’s Will may be done in thee.
Stand forth! Shed thy garments of
Falsehood, Impurity, Unlovliness, Doubt and Fear.

O Woman, Thou Awakened One, Mother of Christ,
Lift up thine eyes, thy nakedness
Clothed in Truth, Simplicity, Purity, Faith and Love.
In such garments thou shalt stand before The King.
Behold! The King within thy soul—
Reflecting all His attributes, thou art one with Him.

See Him! Know Him! Love Him! Then let
Shine out into the darkened world
His Love, Courage, Strength and Glory,
Even as the moon shining in darkness
Reflects Her Sun.
So thou, Divine Woman, Reflect thy Christ,
That seeing thee, man may behold Him
And, beholding Him, may find himself—
Father—Mother—God.

GOD BLESS YOU!
