Pure
existence godbeing in my own awake space,
Self-existent
traveler through the quantum cosmos,
Stirred
awake as I dream, I know you are real!
Please
give me clear insight and rich understanding!
It
is easy to be swept along by the currents of change,
No
thought of how life moves or where it is going.
There
is an intelligence at work,
A
design behind the scenes.
Illusion
and truth – one warp, one weave.
Hidden
Dragon, light up my path!
Illusion
need not be madness. I want to know!—
One
fragment released from your deceiving spell,
One
thread of illumination—my portion to grasp!
Living
Love! Fire of Life! Light the way!
Living
Love! Fire of Life! Light the way!
Living
Love! Fire of Life! Light the way!
This
prayer is a vision dreamed on the road to eternity. It is the path you choose
to walk from within the illusion that is human life. When you come to this
prayer, you are willing to look behind the veil and accept that all your
cherished beliefs are unreal, but you are not willing to shed the veil
entirely. No matter. It is as it should be. Once you grasp the truth that you
are living inside a preconceived dream, you can engage that dream as a living
pretense. You move forward, one life among many.
But
the dream field has a greater reality beyond your personal vision, and if you
indeed wish a vision of life, then try this: The dream world you have engaged
is one unit of pure perception within the field of infinite possibilities. It
is a dream that can be turned on or off by intent. Your particular dream module
is real for you alone; untold others go on without you. Although you maintain
the illusion of a world and universe, you understand that this illusion is
sustained from deep within godspace and has its own intent beyond the story you
are living.
With
this knowledge, you learn to link your godbeing existence to the greater
godbeing who is the dream master of earthplanet plane. You learn that godspace
has infinite dimensions wherein new godbeings emerge eternally in response to
the dilemma of godspace, which is pure existence infinitely accepting and
rejecting itself. Within the grace of a cosmic godbeing, your godbeing self
exists as an evolving godbeing dreamer in naked awareness of the truth of pure
existence. It is learning in an unfathomable way how to manage a portion of
cosmic energy and to dream lives that act out godseed possibilities.
As
you read this commentary, something may stir. Look at the intent that brought
you to this prayer. Your intent, your godbeing’s intent, and the greater intent
beyond earthplanet plane are all here in the desire to know. This is a fragment
of truth released from your deceiving spell. Let it be your portion to grasp!
Advanced Commentary
The voice of this prayer arises out of the
moment when a major illumination is about to occur. The voice has no specific
identity. It is, rather, a condition within spirit that happens outside the
cognizance of a human listener.
In order to proceed to the next level of
illumination, it will need “clear insight and rich understanding”: the first is
the capacity to see clearly; the second is the capacity to take on new
conditions of reality. The word “rich” suggests an understanding beyond what it
now takes for truth.
In the next two stances the voice moves
through several levels of its recognition. First, it acknowledges that it
cannot make anything out of the “currents of change.” At the next level, it
begins to recognize that there is a deeper contemplation of the “currents of
change” than being “swept along.” At this new level of contemplation, available
to it through “clear insight,” it realizes that behind the constant change in
the world, there is “an intelligence at work.” In each line in this second
stanza, the voice moves from a state of illusion, within which the movements of
life are meaningless, into an awareness that this illusion and the truth by
which the illusion is recognized are a single truth – “one warp, one weave.”
In the next stanza, the voice cries out
from yet other dimension of reality. It now has “rich understanding.”
Confronting the fire of life that is Hidden Dragon, and knowing that it cannot
dwell long in this realization, it calls upon that fire to send it back into
illusion with a new awareness. Its assertion that “illusion need not be
madness” marks two defining points within the circuit that joins truth and
illusion. The extremes of both are madness. Part of its assertion arises out of
its recognition that staying in the “fire of life” space is impossible; the
other part arises out of the recognition that illusion with no truth is also
madness. When it descends back into illusion, it wants to carry with it “one
thread of illumination.” It does not want to descend into the darkness of total
ignorance. It wants an open space within the illusion through which it can live
in the knowledge of the unity of truth.
Then the voice drops into yet another
dimension altogether distinct from the preceding ones. Within this dimension,
there is actually no voice at all. All particularity has been dropped. There
are only the currents of life, the waves of Hidden Dragon. This particular
movement, which goes beyond “rich understanding,” closes a circle that began
with the ecstatic surging of life energy out of the Dragon bearing the seed of
this realization. “Light the way!” is that seed.
Therefore, the actual movement of the
prayer begins at the bottom with the wave arising from the Dragon containing a
particular seed of realization. This wave of seed energy moves upward through the prayer into the web
of illusion, creating the steps of realization along the way and the voice of
the one who will have that realization as it returns to its source.
