0:02 Hard is the world, redeemers heavy task, the world itself becomes his adversary. Those he would save our his antagonists. This world is in love with its own ignorance. Its darkness turns away from the Savior light, it gives the cross in payment for the crown his work as a trickle of Splendor in a long night. He sees the Long March of time, the little one, a fewer saved, the rest strive on and fail the Sun. Has passed on Earth night Shadow Falls.
0:44 Yes, there are happy ways near to God, Son, but few are they who tread the sunlit path? Only the pure in Soul can walk in light. And exit is shown a road of hard escape from the sorrow and the Darkness and the chain. But how shall a few escaped released the world? The human Mass lingers beneath the Yoke Escape. However, High redeems, not life, life that is left behind on a Fallen Earth. Escape cannot uplift. The abandoned race were bring to it Victory and the reign of God A greater power must come a larger light although light grows on Earth and night, recedes yet till the evilest slain in its own home and light invades.
1:40 The world's incontinent base and perished as the adversary Force. He still must labor on his work. Half done one yet. May come armored Invincible his will immobile meet the mobile hour. The world's blows cannot bend, that Victor head. Calm and sure are his steps in the growing night. The goal, recedes, he hurries. Not his Pace. He turns not too high voices in the night. He asks no aid from the inferior Gods. His eyes are fixed on his immutable aim. Man, turns aside or chooses easier paths. He keeps to the one high and difficult road that Soul can climb to the eternals Peaks.
2:34 The ineffable planes already have felt his tread. He is made Heaven and Earth his instruments. But the limits fall from him of Earth and Heaven There law, he transcends. But uses as his means, he has seized life's hands, he has mastered his own heart. The faints of nature mislead. Not his sight and flexible. His look towards truths far end. Fate deaf resistance, cannot break his will in the Dreadful passages, the Fatal paths invulnerable, his soul, his heart on slain, he lived through the opposition of Earth's powers and Nature's ambushes and the world's attacks. His Spirit stature transcending pain and Bliss. He front evil and good with calm and equalize. He too.
3:32 Must grapple with the Riddling Sphinx and plunge into her long. Obscurity, he has broken into the unconscious depths that Veil themselves, even from their own regard. He has seen God Slumber shape these magic worlds. He has watched the dumb, God fashioning matters, frame dreaming the dreams of its unknowing sleep and watch. The unconscious force that built the Stars. He has learned the incontinence workings and it's law. Its incoherent, thoughts and rigid acts its Hazard, wastes of impulse and idea the chaos of its mechanic frequencies.
4:18 It's random calls, its Whispers falsely To miss leaders of the hooded, listening Soul, all things come to a tear, but nothing abides, all Rose from the silence. All goes back to its hush, it's somnolence founded the universe. Its obscure waking makes the world seem vain Arisen from nothingness and towards nothingness, turned it's dark and potent. Nescient was Earth start. It is the way stuff from, which all was made into its deep creation can collapse. Its opposition clogs, the march of the Soul, it is the mother of our ignorance, he must call light into its dark abysm. 'S else never can truth conquer matters. Sleep and all Earth.
5:16 Look into the eyes of God. All things, obscure his knowledge must real. Umm, all things perverse. His power must unknot. He must pass to the other shore of falsehood. See, he must enter the world dark to bring their light. The heart of evil must be bear to his eyes. He must learn its Cosmic, Darkness Essa T. It's right. And it's dire, roots in nature soil. He must know the thought that moves the demon act and justifies the Titans airing pride and the falsehood lurking in Earth's crooked dreams. He must enter The Eternity of night and know God's Darkness as he knows his son for this.
6:07 He must go down into the pit for this. He must invade the dolorous vasts imperishable and wise and infinite. He still must travel hell the world to save into the Eternal Light. He shall emerge on borders of the meeting of all worlds. They're on the verge of nature Summit steps. The secret law of each thing is fulfilled all contraries healed, their long, dissidents, their meat and clasp, the Eternal opposites. Their pain becomes a violent, fiery, Joy, evil turned back to its original good and sorrow lies upon the breasts of bliss. She has learned to weep glad tears of happiness, her gaze is charged with a wistful, ecstasy then shall be ended here. The law of pain Earth shall be made a home of Heavens light, a seer heaven-born Lodge in human breasts. The supercontinent beam shall touch men's eyes and the truth conscious world come down to earth invading matter with the spirits Ray, awaking its silence to a Mortal Thoughts. Awaking the dumb heart to The Living Word. This Mortal life shall house eternity' Bliss. The body self taste immortality
7:42 Then shall the world redeemers task be done. Then shall the world redeemers task be done.
