1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,320
OFT inspiration with her
lightning feet, a sudden

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,800
messenger from the all seeing
tops traversed the soundless

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,240
corridors of his mind, bringing
her rhythmic sense of hidden

4
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,960
things.
A music spoke, transcending

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:24,880
mortal speech, as if from a
golden file of the all bliss, a

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,360
joy of light, a joy of sudden
sight, A rapture of the

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,760
thrilled, undying word poured
into his heart as into an empty

8
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,680
cup, A repetition of God's first
delight, creating in a young and

9
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,400
virgin time, in a brief moment
caught a little space.

10
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,000
All knowledge packed into great
wordless thoughts lodged in the

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,080
expectant stillness of his
depths, A crystal of the

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:03,960
ultimate absolute, a portion of
the inexpressible truth revealed

13
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:10,560
by silence to the silent soul,
the intense Creatrix in his

14
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,880
stillness wrought her power,
fallen speechless, grew more

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,160
intimate.
She looked upon the scene in the

16
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,360
unforeseen, unguessed domain.
She made her native field, all

17
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,840
vision gathered into a single
ray, as when the eyes stare at

18
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:34,320
an invisible point till through
the intensity of 1 luminous spot

19
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,440
an apocalypse of a world of
images enters into the Kingdom

20
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,960
of the seer.
A great nude arm of splendor

21
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:47,440
suddenly rose it rent the gauze
opaque of nescience.

22
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,840
Her lifted fingers, keen,
unthinkable tip, bared with a

23
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,920
stab of flame that closed
beyond, and I awake in voiceless

24
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,680
heights of trance, a mind
plucking at the unimaginable,

25
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,039
overleaping with a soul and
perilous bound the high black

26
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:11,160
wall.
Hiding superconscience.

27
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,080
She broke in with inspired
speech Forsyth, and plundered

28
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,520
the unknowable's vast estate, a
gleaner of infinitesimal grains

29
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,640
of truth, a sheaf binder of
infinite experience.

30
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,480
She pierced the guarded
mysteries of world force and her

31
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,880
magic methods wrapped in a
thousand veils, where she

32
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,800
gathered the lost secrets
dropped by time in the dust and

33
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,960
crannies of his mounting rout.
Mid old forsaken dreams of

34
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,320
hastening mind and buried
remnants of forgotten space.

35
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,320
A traveller between summit and
abyss, she joined the distant

36
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:03,640
ends, the viewless deeps or
streaked along the roads of

37
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:09,000
heaven and hell, pursuing all
knowledge like a questing hound,

38
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,440
A reporter and scribe of hidden
wisdom talk.

39
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Her shining minutes of celestial
speech passed through the masked

40
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:22,960
office of the occult mind,
transmitting gave to profit and

41
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,040
to Seer, the inspired body of
the Mystic truth.

42
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,720
A recorder of the inquiry of the
gods, spokesman of the silent

43
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,480
scenes of the Supreme, she
brought immortal words to mortal

44
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,280
men.
Above, the reason's brilliant

45
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,920
slender curve released like
radiant air dimming a moon.

46
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Broad spaces of a vision without
line.

47
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Where limits swam into his
spirits Ken oceans of being met,

48
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,960
his voyaging soul calling to
infinite discovery.

49
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:08,560
Timeless domains of joy and
absolute power stretched out.

50
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,720
Surrounded by the eternal hush,
the ways that lead to endless

51
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,720
happiness ran like dream smiles
through meditating vasts.

52
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,800
Disclosed Stood up in a gold
moment's blaze.

53
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,000
White sun steps in the pathless
infinite along a naked curve in

54
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Boutbournless self.
The points that run through the

55
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
closed heart of things.
Shadowed the indeterminable line

56
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,640
that carries the everlasting
through the years.

57
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,240
The magician order of the cosmic
mind coercing the freedom of

58
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,600
Infinity with the stark array of
nature's symbol, Facts and

59
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,440
life's incessant signals of
event transmuted chance

60
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:06,320
recurrence into laws, a chaos of
signs into a universe out of the

61
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,640
rich wonders and the intricate
whirls of the spirit's dance

62
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,280
with matter as its mask.
The balance of the world's

63
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:20,360
design grew clear, its symmetry
of self arranged effects managed

64
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,120
in the deep perspectives of the
soul and the realism of its

65
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,440
illusive art, its logic of
infinite intelligence, its magic

66
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:36,440
of a changing eternity.
A glimpse was caught of things

67
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,080
forever unknown.
The letter stood out of the

68
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:45,520
unmoving word in the immutable
nameless origin was seen

69
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,640
emerging as from fathomless
seas, the trail of ideas that

70
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:56,960
made the world and sown in the
black earth of nature's trance,

71
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,440
the seed of the spirit's blind
and huge desire from which the

72
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:07,160
tree of cosmos was conceived and
spread its magic arms.

73
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,000
Through a dream of space,
immense realities took on a

74
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,600
shape.
They're looked out from the

75
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,840
shadow of the unknown, the
bodyless namelessness that saw

76
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:24,000
God born and tries to gain from
the mortal's mind and soul a

77
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,120
deathless body and a divine
name.

78
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,720
The immobile lips, the great
surreal wings, the visage masked

79
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,440
by superconscious sleep, the
eyes with their closed lids that

80
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,520
see all things appeared, of the
architect who builds entrance.

81
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,440
The original desire borne in the
void peered out.

82
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,360
He saw the hope that never
sleeps, the feet that run behind

83
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,280
a fleeting fate, the ineffable
meaning of the endless dream

84
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,840
hardly for a moment glimpsed,
viewless to mind, as if a torch

85
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:09,520
held by a power of God.
The radiant world of the

86
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:14,560
everlasting truth glimmered like
a faint star bordering the night

87
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,360
above the golden over mine
shimmering Ridge.

88
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,120
Even we're caught as through a
cunning veil, the smile of love

89
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,320
that sanctions the long game,
the calm indulgence and maternal

90
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,160
breasts of wisdom suckling the
child.

91
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,280
Laughter of chance, Silence, The
nurse of the Almighty's power,

92
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,960
the omniscient hush womb of the
immortal word, and of the

93
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,120
timeless, the still brooding
face, and the creative eye of

94
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:52,800
eternity.
