Description:

 ...It is the Force ultimate and primordial, 
It is the Threshold...
The first impact is shocking
Because it’s great

And it can frighten...

Then you enter
And all that appears Is wonderfully clear and quiet... ...
It is the knowledge that surrounds you and wraps you... 
And then you find yourself in front of yourself
Unveiled,
And you sink into your own eyes,
And you get lost and find yourself again...


And at first the anguish of those who seek their greatness 

And can’t find it,
Because they don’t know that the only greatness is Love,

And they don’t see it...

And then the bliss of those who accept
The penetration of the simpler and more complex Mystery,

Because you find yourself in the Whole,
And in front of you there’s the Infinite,
And you are the Infinite...

And still onward,
To another Life,
Toward another womb
That is the Universe,
Where you are born and die every moment,
Timeless,
Because living is dying,
And dying is growing...
Die to yourself and you’ll enter the Wholeness.
