The Temple Rites: Primary Texts

A Prayer

As we see the Sun around us
We too see the Life-force.
As we sense the trees,
We too sense the Life-force.
But with this sight, we
too acknowledge the animals;
Who live for death by refusing
to Submit and welcome the
feelings of Love, Trust and Faith
created by Honesty and Openness.
The dross surrounds them,
therefore they are blind and do not
experience the Oneness of Mind
Spirit and Body offered to them.
In their turning aside do we,
as Warriors, open up in defiance
to them. We refuse that path
and choose instead the right path
and in doing so live the Dream.
