The Emerald Tablet of THOTH Tablet 11 The Key to Above and Below

 



"That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below,to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing." BE this the constant of the interchange, of each element, of all life forms, of the call to unity, of the quest for purpose, of the PRESENCE of Beauty, of TRUTH, of BEING. Behold the sacredness of counsel, of light, of grace.



The Emerald Tablet of THOTH
Tablet 11
The Key to Above and Below
"List ye, now to my voice and become
greater than common man.
Lift thine eyes upward,
let Light fill thy being,
be thou ever Children of Light.
Only by effort shall ye grow upward to
the plane where Light is the All of the All.
Be ye the master of all that surrounds thee.
Never be mastered by the effects of thy life.
Create then ever more perfect causes
and in time shalt thou be a Sun of the Light
Free, let thine soul soar ever upward,
free from the bondage and fetters of night.
Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
Know that thou art the Greater Light,
perfect in thine own sphere,
when thou art free.
Look not ever into the blackness.
Lift up thine eyes to the space above.
Free let thine Light flame upward
and shalt thou be a Child of the Light."

... yes, and I invite all to take counsel...

"...Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
Know that thou art the Greater Light,
perfect in thine own sphere,
when thou art free.,,"


...and so too, I proclaim...

Light Be Known
from shadows light be known
a rising day this moment shown
the quest of light ever present be
in this firmament, this celestial sea
hues and tones of moving grace
within a timeless moment I embrace
eternal majesty be the sky above
blessed I am with this the Creator's love
within this beauty a moment sublime
within this moment light's quest divine.

The 4th Day of Christmas



On the 4th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me


Four Calling birds
A calling ever ever heard
The voice of song so very sweet
Upon the wings of Spirit to greet
A call to peace, gratitude, faith and love
To this wondrous earth and heaven above
And to those in memory now cast
Love for days now past
To the hearts and souls of all that live
A calling to all for life's gift to give.
Blessings to All

Post Laureate
Orangetown, New York

It has been put forth: :"Four calling birds symbolizes the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, which spread the good news of Christ's life and teachings."

ANOINTED

 



At one time in history the poet was revered for the soul of his/her words.. a philosopher, a mystic, a counselor, a lover of truth and beauty, a visionary... ever in revelation...❤

Heard is the lament, offered are the words of A POET Counselor...
Shared in reverence, in revelation, in resolve...
                                                    ... be this the counsel of the soul...

ANOINTED
webs of thought, echoes of time sound
the din of shocked sensibilities
what was, now is once more
hush, hush be the cry, the plea
free what is trapped deep within me
shed these shackles of shadow and despair
heed the cry for resolve and Creation's care
listen, listen, and there shall be heard
the search, the want of the guiding WORD
let there be a command of self whole and true
let the bonds of torment give way to light ever new
live the embrace of GOD's majesty and supernal love
the blessings of grace, the sun, the moon. the stars, above
within your BEING the power, the volition to be
Anointed by the PRESENCE OF THEE.

...and I in respectful response... a shared perception ...
Begetting Treasure
the garden will be attended to and the weeds will grow
the rooms will be put in order and the clutter soon to show
the bills will be paid and more due to come
what is completed will again call to be done
but when a poem I come to write all is complete and shall ever BE
words a Birth Eternal granted unto you unto me
the garden, the rooms, the bills and too, poetic pleasure
words, words, each its own ever present begetting treasure
a poet laureate, I am in designation named
within THE MUSE entreats a word, and so its poetic claim
received I, honor in Proclamation, for words from heart to share
and to this, blessed be the knowing of the Creator's loving care.

...and asked... what be you poet ...
I in the glory of the triune... the calling within each letter of P O E T ...

the exchange, the evolution, the eternal 
the trust, the truth, the treasure 
I in the glory of the triune... the calling within each letter of P O E T ...

Dearest of Family, Friends, Followers, Visitors...

 

Dearest of Family, Friends, Followers, Visitors... A mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother, one in her 85th year 2023... and she... The POET

The POET
she awakens to the light
to the dawning of the day new
she hears the song bird song
feels the warmth of the sun
listens to the sounding wind
hears the echoes of loss and lament
feels the pain of despondency and despair
yet deeply she knows all is in resolve
for ever held she be in GOD's care
many a trial and many a challenge at hand
FAITH and TRUST be her guiding command
beyond chaos, horrific abuses, and mayhem
be the calling clarity of grace, the solace of soul
the mission, the quest, this pulsing of heart
from love it be known, from love shan't it depart
the Passion ~ the Omnipresence ~ the Eternal ~ the Truth
this be THE WAY
she the POET in blessings LIVES her day
a word by pen, its petitioning perceived
this the MUSE in soul conceived
upon the paper marks to bear her name
and she the POET expresses her claim
and she the POET expresses her claim
we the responders, activists, creators of the NOW
be it RESOLVE, be it LOVE, be it PEACE, 
be it our SOUL'S VOW.

..the MUSE beckons...

 



a poetic word ever held in heart
from which love shall not depart
express I the need and sounding plea
the MUSE beckons beckons within me
embrace the heart and love of others known
hold dear the care and vision they have shown
we as ONE as resolute intention divine
share we the gifts of love, light and time.
blessed be our endowments of grace and word
the MUSE beckons beckons that our hearts be heard.

Rhapsodies Mine... ...paint upon canvas... words upon paper ...

 



words to echo the depths of passion and desire
those that capture moments of rapture's fire
the lover's embrace that holds silent the pain
within the folds of beauty our truth we so name
we and another in shared vision and a knowing quest
become the ocean waters as they flow and crest
an ecstasy within that breathes life divine
blessed be these rhapsodies mine.

The journey.. the markings of THE WAY...

 



THE WAY

need it be of pain to be real
need it be of anguish beyond conceal
need it be of loss and tear
need it be of what we fear
is this the poet’s hailed domain
is there a vista beyond the pain
and so I a poet called to see
the blessings bestowed upon a you, a me
without effort or labors of my hand
the sun to rise upon Creation’s command
and with the gift of breath be each endowed
by the glory that GOD and life do vow
heed I the love, the truth, the beauty, within this day
be it the journey, the markings of THE WAY.

Dragonfly...

 

A Request ~ A Fulfillment ...
I presented a request to Andrew Weitzer, confident of its fulfillment. He is a Nature Photographer Extraordinaire. One can only marvel at his level of mastery. Andrew captures, the essence, the strength. the power, the beauty, the uniqueness, of his subjects, such that they become alive as we view them in their natural abodes.
These supernal photographs of Dragonflies gifted to me from one who was my 5th Grade Student, Class of 1963, Public School 106, Bronx, New York.







YES, with JOY received.
Love it is,

Dragonfly

Dragonfly upon your wings I yet fly
Taken to frog ponds, to vistas on high
Your mystery, abiding wonder, and grace
Withn the joy of heart found is your place
From time beyond my grasp, your presence known
The majesty of creation your embodiment shown
Many a wisdom tale to be heard
Echoes, Echoes, of the Creator's WORD.

BE I of G R A C E. ~ Thunderous Sounding

 



BE I of G R A C E...                                                                         

                                                GOD
                                                Revelation

                                                Exchange

... gifted by endowments of my CREATOR... 
and so at 85 years of age I yet proclaim...

Thunderous Sounding

what be this awakening sweet
where grace and intention meet
what be this thunderous sounding in heart
where all that is has its knowing start
what be this soaring of spirit and soul
where vision is one with heart and goal
this be the Self, the TRUTH to embrace
where all that is blessed in knowing I place
where judgment, reprisal, illusion and demise
be cast aside by Spirit, an awareness wise
beyond the drama and lies yet heard
is the beloved glory of the divine WORD
joyful gratitude to fill my days
so be the embodiment of SELF, of GOD, in PRAISE.
