On the wings of the blue pelican,

I want to fly away with you

to the planet Anamorphon

where all things begin anew.

Where you will discover

that which you are seeking

is also seeking you.

You will find Peace

and Love will set you free

as soon as you enter the Charis Galaxy.

We come together, Children of Light,

to the unsleeping radiance

of the planet of no night.

No death, no mourning,

no crying, no pain, no evil

knows the way there.

It is the knowledge of indescribable goodness

that all pure and innocent hearts share.

                            1

Sounds as if life on Anamorphon

is quite different from the way

life is on earth,

wouldn't you agree?

But those of us on Anamorphon

in plain view, we can see

the day on earth

this prophecy will come true:  

All hearts will live in peace;

and when this is true,

the pelican will turn blue.

Come fly away with me to the future

and we will look back in time

and see it all happen in our hearts and in our minds.

                                 2

Absurd at first they said

and then in amazement, they shouted

It most definitely is true:

The pelican is blue.

A momentous event

as before the earth had never seen,

the radiant light of a miracle;

they even noticed that

I am green.

I am a green lion,

a thinker and a poet, too,

I might add; and

parts of the story

I am going to tell are very, very sad.

The opposite of sad is happy

that you know without a doubt.

It's the secret of what makes you happy

that this story is all about.

                              3

Now if we begin at the beginning,

not necessarily in a visible,

bodily gathering,

but in a jubilous, magical atmosphere.

If we press our hands together

in silence,

say the magic words and believe,

a wonder of wonder will

fill our hearts and

the invisible will appear.

If I become you and you become me:

Magic words:  'Philo-Soffi'

As you believe, so let it be.

I believe, actually,

I know eyes have seen

and ears have heard

and hearts have imagined

the beauty of transformation

with one word:  LOVE!

                                      4

LOVE: the gladness of joy and unity,

without and within,

is, will be, and has always been ~

the elixir of life, my treasured friends.

I love the idea of two

co-eternal, co-equal principles

coming together, instantaneously.

Two powers like Love and Wisdom

synthesizing and setting all hearts free!

It has happened in You.

It has happened in Me.

I am at this moment of connection,

the embodiment of Immortality.

Wholeness. Radiance. Harmony.

My first love, the love above all loves,

is the first time I saw BEAUTY!

I fell in love with her.

And at that magical moment,

all things came together simultaneously.

I knew I was FREE!

                               5

You and I know this feeling of LOVE

that happens for the first time,

just like it did before,

and in our daily lives,

we see it happen more and more.

And we begin expecting Miracles.

Miracles are physical manifestations

of dreams that come true.

Wondrous, magical, magnificent dreams,

like the one that brought you.

A starburst, a moonbeam,

the whole golden sun,

I got all three and only wished for one.

So remember this, my darling dears,

when you wonder what dreams can do,

for it is the fulfillment of a dream

that I speak with You.

I thank the stars for you every nite,

for like the stars in the darkness,

YOU ARE LIGHT.

                           6

You and you and you

and I do shine

when that inner light of divine love

connects your heart and mine.

Now I speak from my own experience,

which is called numinous,

because that is when a

divine spirit encounters us.

I was ferocious, blood sucking,

the king of the jungle and great!

Because greed and anger and jealousy

made me hate.

Now there's a word with a lot of power.

Have you ever noticed how many hearts

Hate can devour?

Mine was one.  A wise philosopher,

a green lion, I am today.

But I have not always lived this way.

May I have another moment

of your precious time

to tell you one marvellous story,

of the transforming power of

the spirit of Love in all its glory?

                              7

For the record, this story did transpire

to enlighten lives and enrich them

and to inspire:

Crystal Lake glistens like a prism of crystals,

dazzling and clear.

An awesome feeling pervades and permeates

the glowing atmosphere.

Inscribed in stone,

this haunting message:

ONE UNFORGETTABLE, UNBELIEVABLE,

MOST BEAUTIFUL UNICORN,

SPOTTED HERE.

All creatures of the jungle

did journey to this reverent hiding place,

not only to drink from the lake

but to see face to face

the most magnificent symbol

of the spirit of solace and grace.

                                    8

Not I.  A Lion.  It is not in my power

to sit and wait.

Remember, I am King of the Jungle,

ferocious, brutal, cruel and great!

All the little delicate creatures

that arrive at Crystal Lake,

I eat whole, devour.

I suck their blood and

chew their bones, hour after hour.

But the creature I wanted to kill

more than any other was

this beautiful unicorn.

All the little creatures

would chatter and wait to feel

the incredulous aura of magic

that emanates from her horn.

                              9

I kept hearing things like,

In the permeating,

all-encompassing luminous light

of her love,

we cannot die.

Soffi, the Unicorn Queen

is at once, earthly and divine;

simultaneously, she is

all things combined.

She drinks from the waters

of Crystal Lake with her horn;

this magical, mystical,

magnificent UNICORN.

Now it was the darkest hour before dawn,

the hour, they say,

when only the wise can see;

That a sense of awe did awaken

and mystify me.

                                   10

Descending from a throne,

on a pillar of clouds,

in royal splendor,

The Unicorn Queen, Soffi,

I did see and I fell in love

with her beauty.  Instantly.

Totally.

Inescapably.

Indescribable, immeasurable,

unconquerable and impervious to time,

was this beauty of the Love

above all loves,

that connected her heart and mine.

Incredulous,

she did not stoop to fill her horn

with the water from Crystal Lake,

as the little creatures had surmised.

                              11

Instead, her horn

filled the lake with water,

I saw it all with my own

disbelieving eyes.

And in the silence of her reflection,

of what was and is and forever more will be;

I felt the power of the Queen of Enchantment,

herself, unchanging,

fill me from within, make me new,

and Love did consume and conquer me.

I see the light brighter than

the light of the sun.

It emanates from your heart,

Golden One.

I see the dawn of a new beginning

in your eyes.

I see the lodestar of LOVE.

I see you are wise.

                        12

It has been written,

a ferocious, brutal king, a lion

finds Peace on Earth

through the transforming power of

LOVE

and lives in peace with the lamb

and the dove;

and becomes known as

Philo Philosophorus,

the wisest of the wise,

for he sees the unseen

and speaks the unheard of.

Philo becomes wise

not by the standards of some passing age

but by the ageless, lucid beauty

of the wise sage.

Timeless, he begins to travel

with the light-giving Spirit

of every age.

                             13

One Lion becomes wise

and the world attains Peace!

One heart, humble and free.

Interior insight and invincible strength

begins the understanding between

You and Me.

The Greatest Power Is Peace

is the revelation of the inner spirit.

So if powers are to reign supreme,

let LOVE be your King,

and WISDOM be your Queen.

Then will be the dawning of the

New World-Wide Renaissance,

for manifest in the essence of your being,

inside you now is the philosopher's gold.

You discover what you have always been:

The Resplendent One, of prophesies foretold.
