The World Of Imagination And The Illusion Of Fear And Hope
THE WORLD OF IMAGINATION AND THE ILLUSION OF FEAR AND HOPE
ARE GREAT OBSTACLES TO THE PILGRIM ON THE PATH
THE IMAGES OF THIS IMAGINATIONN WERE HARMFUL
EVEN TO SOMEONE LIKE ABRAHAM, WHO WAS AS STRONG AS A MOUNTAIN
EVEN HE, THAT GIANT WHO THREADED JEWELS OF GNOSIS,
WAS SO SEDUCED BY THE WORLD OF IMAGINATION AND BLINDING ILLUSION
THAT HE SAID, “THIS IS MY LORD!” TO A MERE STAR
IF SUCH AN EVOLVED AND MAJESTIC BEING AS ABRAHAM
CAN BE SO EASILY SEDUCED AWAY FROM THE PATH,
WHAT WILL ILLUSION NOT DO TO A GOOSE OR AN ASS?
INTELLIGENCES AS STRONG AS MOUNTAINS HAVE BEEN DROWNED
IN SEAS OF IMAGINATION AND WHIRLWINDS OF ILLUSION
IF MOUNTAINS, THEN, ARE BEATEN LOW BY THIS FLOOD----
WHERE CAN YOU FND ANY SAFETY BUT IN THE ARK OF LOVE?
