Out Of My Mind
& Back To My Senses
Conceived In Truth
I
As in Thy Oneness first conceived,
Thoughby sense of self deceived;
Again to Oneness must I grow,
And therein finally come to know.
For conceived in Truth, we two are One,
Thou art Father and I am Son;
You are Thinker and I am Thought,
You're the Seeker andI that Sought.
You are Dreamer and I am Dream,
You're the River and I the Stream;
You are Sea and I am Wave,
You're the Savior and I am Saved.
II
So must I come to see us as One,
You as the Father and I as the Son;
You as the Whole of which I am Part,
You as my Finish and I as your Start.
See youas the Ocean and I as the Drop,
You as the Bottom of which I am Top;
You as the Doer and I as your Done,
You as the Victor and I as the Won.
For in our Oneness can the only Truth lie,
Your one clear answer to my question why;
My faith in self the source of all fright,
Its denial of Truth the cause of my blight.
III
So do I pray Thee,Oh Father of Life,
Awaken Thy Son and end all His strife;
Make One my Consciousness, Thinker Divine,
And so bless my soul with Thy Perfect Mind.
So lift the veil of my thought's false division,
And openmine eyes to Thy Perfect Vision;
Thus end the reign of my partial sight,
The shadows I cast and my blockage of Light.
That empty my heart of its selfish love,
May I so ascend to Your Kingdom above;
So scale Life's Mountain and know its height,
Behold the One and see the Light.
IV
So sever the root of self-conscious being,
That thought of self no longer blocks seeing;
For a slave no longer to relative mind,
Will I so stop seeking and finally find.
So stop becoming and wholly become,
One in the Many whose birthright is Son;
A rebirth in Spirit within present days,
Born with the death of my imperfect ways.
A reunion in Consciousness, Cause with Effect,
A rejoining of Subject with parted Object;
A wedding of Self with that seen as Other,
A coming to Peace between me and my Brother.
V
Original Consciousness, Essence Divine,
So filleth my heart and make whole my mind;
Come to me now and complete this Thy Word,
That I may now hear and you may be heard.
That once again Whole my divided heart,
Never again may I think you apart;
That I may know Oneness and so cease to fight,
May put up my sword and reliance on might.
May realize Thy Presence within every other,
And so knowmyself to be One with my Brother;
So awakened to Oneness and evermore free,
Will I no longer bound by selfishness be.
VI
So ended my bondage to relative reason,
No longer to know Life as only a season;
Nevermore bound by future and past,
In Thee ever resting long after the last.
Forever gone my incomplete thought,
Free its bounds and no longer caught;
Free in Spirit, my Soul lifted up,
To drink not the dregs, but the Wine of Life's Cup.
In Thy Boundless Image made totally Whole,
A Timeless Union of Spirit and Soul;
My coming to Oneness, andend to all crying,
Gone partial being and with it my dying
VII
So more of Thee and less of me,
That I may finally come to see;
That I may finally come to know,
From whence I came and where I go.
That Oneat last may I so come to be,
Born of a Consciousness only of Thee;
My Wholeness made know through a coming of Thine,
And with it a bringing of Your Word to rhyme.
Thy Infinite Wholeness, the Ground of my Being,
A promise of Hope to my once again seeing;
A return to Oneness, of Partial to Whole,
The Saving Grace of my prodigal Soul.
