| The Precious Gift | |
| |
| |
| From the Source of Consciousness | |
| |
| |
| Your birth erupts: an evolutionary intention. | |
| |
| |
| Each breath initiates you into the prismatic Theater of Light | |
| |
| |
| Your body is a rite of passage, and you have come to translate the celestial map: You have come to proclaim the Zodiac, the Codex of the Soul | |
| |
| |
| You are the director, the soul memory | |
| |
| |
| You are the audience, the watcher | |
| |
| |
| And you play every role | |
| |
| |
| The Houses are the stages and scenes, the fields of life experience, The Planets are the players within these scenes, The Signs are the roles they play, And the Aspects are the wondrous dialogue, the narrative of the tragicosmic drama where display the technicolor dreamscape of spiritsong and incarnation's passionplay. | |
| |
| |
| So embark upon this relationship | |
| |
| |
| As souls entwined in density still you sail the sacred angles of intimacy | |
| |
| |
| While the Fates who weave the fabric of humanifestation sing out your destiny. | |
| |
| |
| Your birth is a precious gift. Your birth is the ultimate present. | |
| |
| |
| Open it. | |
