The Tragedy and the Triumph

By mysticventures





There once was a child of light and spirit

who from heavens bosom was torn

dragged thru the gates of the living hell

and unto this life was born


The sprit bond now long forgotten

the light now dull and grey

replaced, succumbed and ego-driven

this soul has lost its way


This living hell is now his life

achieving pleasure now his goal

thru years of ego-driven urges

the living hell now takes its toll


Weakened in body and dying in spirit

he longs for something true

so he seeks redemption within himself

to find the life that he once knew


A weakened ego brings strength of spirit

with light both strong and bright

to never succumb to this living hell

find truth in spirit your only plight

  • A former member wrote: the re-recognition, re-realization of our unification, our Oneness with the Light. Strength of Spirit plays key role in the battle for control between the ego and the soul. Superb achievement on a level of Truth with Divinity Itself.
