NORMAN PAULSEN

Behind the veil of my expression of love, I search for Thee that I hold most dear...
Beyond thoughts, beyond time, beyond mind, I strain to touch Thee, to embrace
Thee in the silence of my being.

Within the center of my soul, as I listen, I can hear You; I can feel Your great presence,
Your hands of energy upon me. At times I can see You, that great brilliance, that blazing inner sun, Your face!

The pulsating hum of Your sacred forces moves through every cell of my being. I know I am a child of Your consciousness and energy. I know I am a part of You, even as once You called me Your son.

My mental hands reach out to You that I might wrestle You into a corner where You are not fluid, escaping through my hands. You, that all-sustaining substance, clear as crystal water, everywhere at once.

Yes, there is nowhere Thou does not exist. It is You in all creation; in the plants, the animals, the suns, and the galaxies, and most of all it is You in me, dreaming You are me. O Father, my life here is of such short duration; help me not to waste it in idle, self-conscious desires.

Come forth within us; hide no more, Lord, hide no more. Let us hear the mightly sea of eternity roaring around us, swirling through us, Your invisible body of life force, the very Breath of Life.

May we fully realize we are infinite, like You. Our earthly bodies are but a dream, existing but a moment in Your eternity. Our soulds are a reflection of Yours - yes, immortal, created to reside in the kingdom of heaven with all Christed beings. We are Your family, Mother and Father, Your sons and daughters returning.

Help us not to forget Thee. You are the mightly dreamer, dreaming the images of all of us and all which we see. Reveal to us Your face, brilliant like the sun. Give to us Cosmic Awareness - the awareness that the great sphere of creation, and all images contained therein, is Your visible body.

Each one of us is but a dream of Thee. We feel You. We know it is true.
