00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,240
Then suddenly, there came a
downward look, as if a sea
2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,160
exploring its own depth, a
living oneness, widened at its
3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,040
core and joined him to
unnumbered multitudes.
4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,080
A bliss, a light, a power, a
flame.
5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,720
White love caught all in its
sole immense embrace.
6
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:33,420
Existence found its truth on
oneness breast and each became
7
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:38,300
the self and space of all the
great world.
8
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,660
Rhythms were heartbeats of 1
soul.
9
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:44,100
To feel was a flame discovery of
God.
10
00:00:45,180 --> 00:00:51,460
All mind was a single harp of
many strings, all life a song of
11
00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:54,900
many.
Meeting lives for worlds were
12
00:00:54,900 --> 00:01:01,160
many, but the self was one.
This knowledge now was made a
13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,599
cosmos seed.
This seed was cased in the
14
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,360
safety of the light.
It needed not a sheath of
15
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,680
ignorance.
Then from the trance of that
16
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,200
tremendous clasp, and from the
throbbings of that single heart,
17
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,840
and from the naked spirits
victory, a new and marvelous
18
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:27,160
creation, rose incalculable
outflowing infinitudes, laughing
19
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:32,760
out an unmeasured happiness,
live there innumerable unity,
20
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,360
worlds where the being is
unbound and wide bodied.
21
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Unthinkably the egoless self
rapture of beatific energies
22
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,520
join time to the timeless poles
of a single joy.
23
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,120
White vasts were seen where all
is wrapped in all.
24
00:01:55,410 --> 00:01:58,890
There were no contraries, no
sundered parts.
25
00:01:59,810 --> 00:02:04,050
All by spiritual links were
joined to all and bound
26
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:09,850
indissolubly to the One.
Each was unique, but took all
27
00:02:09,850 --> 00:02:16,210
lives as his own, and following
out these tones of the infinite
28
00:02:16,930 --> 00:02:22,210
recognized in himself.
The universe, a splendid center
29
00:02:22,210 --> 00:02:27,250
of infinities, were all pushed
to its zenith's height, Its last
30
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:34,810
expanse felt the divinity of its
own self, bliss repeated in its
31
00:02:34,930 --> 00:02:40,490
numberless other selves.
It took up tirelessly into its
32
00:02:40,490 --> 00:02:46,970
scope persons and figures of the
impersonal, as if prolonging in
33
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:51,890
a ceaseless count, in a
rapturous multiplication sum,
34
00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:55,660
the recurring decimals of
eternity.
35
00:02:56,780 --> 00:03:00,780
None was a part.
None lived for himself alone.
36
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:05,060
Each lived for God in him, and
God in all.
37
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:09,260
Each soleness inexpressibly held
the whole.
38
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:13,420
Their oneness was not tied to
monotone.
39
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:20,060
It showed 1000 aspects of
itself, its column immutable
40
00:03:20,060 --> 00:03:25,180
stability up bore on a
changeless ground forever safe,
41
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:28,460
compelled to a spontaneous
servitude.
42
00:03:29,260 --> 00:03:34,100
The ever changing incalculable
steps, the seeming reckless
43
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:39,220
dances, subtle plan of immense
world forces in their perfect
44
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:45,980
play appearance look back to its
hidden truth and made of
45
00:03:45,980 --> 00:03:48,420
difference.
One smiling play.
46
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:54,750
It made all persons fractions of
the unique, yet all were beings
47
00:03:54,870 --> 00:03:59,230
secret integers.
All struggle was turned to a
48
00:03:59,230 --> 00:04:03,750
sweet strife of love in the
harmonized circle of a sure
49
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:08,390
embrace identities.
Reconciling happiness gave a
50
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:13,670
rich security to difference.
On a meeting line of hazardous
51
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:17,510
extremes.
The game of games was played to
52
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:23,030
its breaking point where through
self finding by divine self loss
53
00:04:23,510 --> 00:04:28,750
there leaps out Unity's supreme
delight, whose blissful
54
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:33,630
undivided sweetness feels a
communality of the absolute.
55
00:04:35,550 --> 00:04:38,030
There was no sob of suffering
anywhere.
56
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:42,350
Experience ran from point to
point of joy.
57
00:04:43,230 --> 00:04:46,190
Bliss was the pure undying truth
of things.
58
00:04:47,340 --> 00:04:50,140
All nature was a conscious front
of God.
59
00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:57,260
A wisdom worked in all self
moved self sure, a plenitude of
60
00:04:57,260 --> 00:05:01,620
illimitable light and
authenticity, of intuitive
61
00:05:01,620 --> 00:05:09,580
truths, a glory and passion of
creative force, infallible,
62
00:05:10,420 --> 00:05:14,860
leaping from eternity.
The moment's thought inspired
63
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:20,300
the passing act.
A word, a laughter sprang from
64
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:24,700
silence breast.
A rhythm of beauty in the calm
65
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:29,300
of space, A knowledge in the
fathomless heart of time.
66
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:35,300
All turned to all without
reserves recoil a single ecstasy
67
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:39,140
without a break.
Love was a close and thrilled
68
00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:44,100
identity in the throbbing heart
of all that luminous life.
69
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,280
A universal vision that unites A
sympathy of nerve replying to
70
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:57,320
nerve hearing, that listens to
thoughts inner sound and follows
71
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,440
the rhythmic meanings of the
heart.
72
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,200
A touch that needs not hands to
feel, to clasp where they're the
73
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:11,120
native means of consciousness
and heightened the intimacy of
74
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,250
soul with soul.
A grand orchestra of spiritual
75
00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:22,050
powers, a diapazon of soul.
Interchange harmonized.
76
00:06:22,050 --> 00:06:28,090
A oneness deep, immeasurable in
these new worlds projected.
77
00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:32,530
He became a portion of the
universal gaze, a station of the
78
00:06:32,610 --> 00:06:37,450
all inhabiting light, a ripple
on a single sea of peace.
79
00:06:39,170 --> 00:06:43,290
His mind answered to countless
communing minds.
80
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,360
His words were syllables of the
cosmos, speech, his life, a
81
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,840
field of the vast cosmic stir.
He felt the footsteps of a
82
00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:02,200
million wills moving in unison
to a single goal, a stream, ever
83
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,800
newborn, that never dies, caught
in its thousandfold currents,
84
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,760
ravishing flow with eddies of
immortal sweetness.
85
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Thrilled, he bore, coiling
through his members as they
86
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,360
passed, calm movements of
interminable delight, the bliss
87
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,480
of a myriad myriads who are one.
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:06,240
Then suddenly, there came a
downward look, as if a sea
2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,160
exploring its own depth, a
living oneness, widened at its
3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,040
core and joined him to
unnumbered multitudes.
4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:22,080
A bliss, a light, a power, a
flame.
5
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,720
White love caught all in its
sole immense embrace.
6
00:00:27,980 --> 00:00:33,420
Existence found its truth on
oneness breast and each became
7
00:00:33,420 --> 00:00:38,300

on a single sea of peace.
79
00:06:39,170 --> 00:06:43,290
His mind answered to countless
communing minds.
80
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,360
His words were syllables of the
cosmos, speech, his life, a
81
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,840
field of the vast cosmic stir.
He felt the footsteps of a
82
00:06:54,840 --> 00:07:02,200
million wills moving in unison
to a single goal, a stream, ever
83
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,800
newborn, that never dies, caught
in its thousandfold currents,
84
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,760
ravishing flow with eddies of
immortal sweetness.
85
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,080
Thrilled, he bore, coiling
through his members as they
86
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:21,360
passed, calm movements of
interminable delight, the bliss
87
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,480
of a myriad myriads who are one.
