A New Light on Earth

We who have wandered far from thee

To explore a false identity

Return attracted by a diamond light

Ablaze as a beacon in the night.

Who calls, the sated mind would know

What force, what form, what afterglow

Could move this being, content and sure

Its earthly needs, its life secure?

From whence the pull to leave these shores

And venture forth without remorse,

Forsake life's pleasures, left behind,

To search with only hope to find

The key to the mystic keepers gate

The answer to the riddle of fate,

And naked on a new world's edge

Recite the psychic being's pledge

To build a world on truth and love

And bring to earth those realms above,

Master the body and from it free

Disease and death, our destiny

Is here upon the chosen earth,

Amid the stars its sacred birth

As the avatar of the future's plan

Lights the way to the overman.

Hardly the aeonic task begun

For us, but through Their toil is won

The promise of the coming race

The gift of a supernal grace

Whose advent lifts the striving soul

Nearer to the promised goal

Of life's unending mystery

Signing the path to divinity.
