The Ascension
Close your eyes and let the mind expand.
Let no fear of death or darkness arrest its course.
Allow the mind to merge with Mind.
Let it flow out on the great curve of consciousness.
Let it soar on the wings of the great bird of duration,
up to the very Circle of Eternity.
Leap clear of all that is corporeal,
and make yourself grown to a like expanse with that greatness which is beyond all measure;
rise above all time and become eternal; then you will apprehend God.
If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God;
for like is known by like.
As above, so below,
as within, so without,
