Seven Steps to SELF

BECOMING ONE

We stand at the end
To see the beginning
And dream of an Earth
Where ALL life is winning

No one is hungry
And no one is poor
No one is greedy
And no one wants more

We dream of an Earth
Where the land and the sea
Become ONE with people
Like you and like me

On this Earth we are ONE
With the rocks and the trees
And commune with all nature
Through the land and the breeze

We open our senses
To dear Mother Earth
Who offers a platform
Where we can know birth

This birth gives us form
A world filled with mystery
And offers a theater
Where we create history

But history is ending
The future is NOW
We know we’re a planet
But don’t know quite how

Something inside us
Remembers a deal
We made long ago
Before we were “real”

We didn’t have form as
We soared through the sky
But wanted a body
And didn’t know why

An urge deep inside us
Called from our Being
For a “place” that had “time”
For hearing and seeing

A place we could learn
A time we could grow
And share our true Spirit
With “others” we’d know

The concept of “others”
Was new to our “ONE”
We’d not known a planet
Or even a sun

Together with Gaia
The heart of us all
We entered a form
And began our great fall

We fell from the heavens
And landed right here
To remember our love
And learn about fear

We’ve learned all we need
And feel quite complete
Our memories are gathered
Some bitter, some sweet

Together we journey
Deep—deep inside
Where only the TRUTH lives
With no place to hide

We know that this journey
That starts will NOT end
And that is the message
That we will all send

Awaken, dear Spirits
Adventure is here
We can ALL live in Love
And release ALL our Fear

If we open our hearts
And let the TRUTH in
That’s all we need do
So it can begin

And what will begin
We are not quite sure
But FEEL it is Loving
And KNOW it is Pure

For with our hearts open
Our “feeling” and “knowing”
Projects the reality
Our Being is showing

“Our” Beings are many
For together we stand
The people, the creatures
The sea and the land

For NOW, we remember
We chose to come here
To call in our Soul/SELF
Who resides beyond fear

This true SELF we ground
Into the Great Mother
To return to the ONE
Where there is NO “other”

Then people and planet
Will all Become ONE
As TOGETHER our Light
Will outshine the Sun
