Here I stand, look all around me
in my paradise
Step into this world
Colors surround me
You should have seen. Oh! Ecstasy
clearly reflects the changing dawn
of a time that used to be

PREFACE

The journey of writing these songs and poems began with a near-death experience I had nearly five decades ago. I imagined it would be impossible to express illumination, at-one-ness with the Light, but most pieces contained in this book came through me, effortlessly. My only struggle was to catch them on paper as they ran through my mind, then vanished. Others came when I sat down at the piano and composed.

This enlightenment experience is not unique; it is universal. It is the thread that runs through all systems of Truth. This work is an invitation to explore no matter our different backgrounds and beliefs what we are, what is possible, and how to manifest what is humanity at the highest level.

Upon reflection, I believe this work will unpack itself.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book of prose-poems and song has been over four decades in the making. It wouldnt have happened without the friends who believed in me and helped me along the way. I thank you - every one of you. It wouldnt have happened without your love and support.

OVERTURE

We are the giants in the earth
We are the gods of our universe

Every blade of grass, the infinity in a
Moment - And the reasons are for love, and the
equanimity of space, the content of which we are afforded
the necessity of giving light to a wealth of understanding beyond
this quantum leap for the denouement of life unfolds before our eyes,
we see the infinity of man and the consciousness of love,
the soul song, the energy of life itself.
It tells a tale of lightening up the
skies of our minds, loosens the burden of fear
with the knowledge of life eternal.
We are the giants in the earth.

The distinction in seeking after truth
is in the blueprint of the ages,
and seen but once, and go forever with you, so be it.

Then nourish like a seed the growth of
mind, body, and spirit [is the guiding light, and
a light it is] the spark which lives in the body proper - whose
initial awakening is tantamount to ecstasy nonpareil - that is indeed but
a spark, for it is only the beginning, as compared to
the fruition of which it signals the awakening of a giant in the earth.
As the mind seeks to acquaint itself with the
Inherent design of the body electric,
Dimensia is lost.
Minding the Body awakens the Spirit in man,
avers that this transformation is at hand, figuratively,
and so on and on, until these things are done, well
be separate and not one. But by one way, there is, truth.

Love is the energy of the universe.
In it lies our strength to live and to love - again and again - physically,
where this process takes form; mentally, where the decision
and direction to do so were given; wherein the Spirit, substance of all
Awakened first by the spirit in man, then the body, mind, and back again,
sufficiently energized, achieves equanimity with its parts, and the body entire.
These three agents (body, mind and spirit), then acting as one,
move to become united with that part of life which is spirit - pure energy,
where-there-is-life eternal in spirit - and this is the truth of it:
One by one we will surely come to realize these things.
Some fine time this equanimity we speak of will be reached in ourselves,
and finally, all potential resolved - in the universe as well.
Another cycle will be complete, things will be as they once were, and I can
see it now: Alberts Einstein will read differently than this E=mc2 that we
are presently limited to, and the Pineal equation will read E=E.
So the neophytes will wonder at this, let their minds seek to probe as I have
for the answer that cannot be found [by intellect alone]. So I do this, and here it is:
We are the giants in the earth
We are the gods of our universe

Almighty father in Heaven, thanks be these praises fixed to shine - and it is
the line and rhyme of our times that sets us on our way - to peace, to joy,
freefernity forever - and it is the mending of our ways,
and the agreement of our days, not waste away our days
Soar then
As on eagles wings
And brings me to this point: That all should
know by now, and are bound to - bound and secured
for your inspection of this, with hope [so] that you all might receive,
that which you are prepared to garner
for the nourishment of the spirit [in you all],
which happily awaits your reception of this feast. And it is for each of you
[that] this reception has been planned - so augured to permit you to come,
apprising you of these feats, and expectantly awaiting
your timely arrival, at this panacea of life.

CANTO I.

[for] There are many things to be considered in
life the interpolation of sea and mist, rotations of heavenly
spheres, relative movements of these through time and space, whether to fly,
let spirit soar. The silver chord is the thread of truth we follow, and from the dust
of ages past, gone long ago, there comes alive again that which we with each
moment rediscover: A wealth of understanding that presages the coming of a world that is
life, liberty and a happiness which transcends all that weve known til now. Yet in its
wake, inexorable change. Mighty, noble, magnificence such as has not been
witnessed, Oh! these twelve thousands of years the building,
the razing of ranges of mountains, or the forging of streams long and bending
a sampling of grand moments these - huge, leviathan, majestic
the work is sudden, complete. Alls well that ends, [and] so begins anew.
Generals, statesmen, empire builders, and folly such as these, strut their stuff cross a
mighty, ignoble span bridging chasms, sophic voids wide and deep.
Yet one which brings at long last the truth of all ages.
Now there have been men, truly great men, who have toiled this earth with love
and devotion, so that true knowledge and true wisdom should not perish
and it is said that truth never dies.
Here then, is a truth: That all humanity should have borne across
the aeons of time, that promise of many a splendorous thing To soar heavenwards
To see the light and life which radiates from all that is
To turn ones ear, to witness that spirit of life which is: Ah!
The mighty hum the planets make Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune,
Mercury and Pluto, Venus and Mars
The Sun and the Moon the tones they make, the vibrations they sew across the
