Drink the word of Wisdom
for it has become veiled light
so that you may become able
to receive the unveiled Light,
to behold without veils
that which is hidden now...
for it has become veiled light
so that you may become able
to receive the unveiled Light,
to behold without veils
that which is hidden now...
Taste the filtered light
and work your way toward wisdom
with no personal covering.
and work your way toward wisdom
with no personal covering.
And traverse the sky like a star,
that you may journey unconditioned...
that you may journey unconditioned...
Thus you came into being from non-existence...
...like a star without a name...
Move across the night sky
with those anonymous lights...
with those anonymous lights...
