Subject(s): Reality


Through all the ages on this mundane sphere
Have mortals sensed the supernatural near,
And felt strange intuitions fathomless
From God or gods or cosmic consciousness,
Or unseen forces, universal mind --
A force that brings impressions undefined,
Inspiring fear of some omnipotence --
Of the eternal mind's omnipresence.

Since beings on so many varied planes
Have felt the truth that unseen power reigns
And sends to man these winged thoughts divine,
They must be sent with heavenly design.
Though men with heads bent downward may condemn,
And doubting, with dull minds, may scoff at them,
What some have called illusions through all time
Are manifest realities sublime!
