Satisfied

I tell you,
I went with sorrow and darkness,
and found myself in a nature place,
away from the noise of the world.
And, praying to God, and Christ, and The Holy Mother,
that I might have His Light enlighten me,
I was given that Light, and I was filled with peace.

I was given that vision of Christ,
as though I were with Him in His hour,
from the days of old upon the earth.
I could see how He was, how He felt, 
as He walked the earth, pure and noble in heart,
utterly loyal unto God. 

Holy, holy, holy, is that Light of God.

For, only in Him did I find peace.
Only in Him was I made satisfied.

The Light filled my heart.
The Light filled my body.
I was made whole again,
and the cares of the world left me.

Only in Him, in His grace, in His light,
are we satisfied.

Amen.

I tell you,
We cannot force that Light upon ourselves,
So gentle, so subtle is His Love.

But, in the beginning, as we seek His light,
do we struggle with the self, and with the things
that imprison our spirit.
In the beginning we are disturbed,
for we struggle against the self and its wants.
We struggle against the mind that seeks those things apart from God.

Apart from God, we are in hell. 
Unmindful of God, seeing not Him,
We continue only in misery.

Only in that consciousness of Him,
in that prayerful and peaceful place,
Are we rescued from anguish.

All is God.
Nothing exists apart from Him.
We are One in Him.
In Oneness is Wholeness, Holiness,
Divine consciousness.

Only in Him is that true and pure Love…
that peace which surpasses all understanding.

Amen.
