"A Heathen Declamation"

I am unique

There is no one else exactly like me

And yet I am one with the whole of nature

I serve the power that moves the universe

For I exist in the universe

And the soul of the universe

Manifests through me

I have the right to be all that I am

My innermost soul is divine and complete

I am honoured with the charge to exceed myself

That the outer manifestation

May be truer to the core reality

Oh thou who givest sustenance to the universe

From whom all things proceed

And unto whom all things must return

Grant me authentic beauty of soul

May the outward and the inward life be at one

I stand before the Mighty Ones

Uncovered in reverence and clothed in space

I pray with all sincerity

That thou unveil to me

The face of the true spiritual sun

And reveal unto me the runes

That I may know the truth

And do my whole duty

              As I journey to thy sacred feet
