Parable 1. Of the Darkness in the Earth
Come children!
Listen to me!
And I will teach you the science of God!
For I am a gift and a sacrament of the Holy One, Blessed be He.
I am a tree of Life to those who approach me
And my fruit is more precious than all the wealth of the world.
Length of days and health are in my right hand,
And in my left are glory and unfailing Light!
Parable 2. Of the Black Flood
From far away,
Across the dark sea
I see a huge cloud
I see a huge cloud looming black over the whole world.
This darkness drains my life
This darkness drains my life
and shadows my soul.
The sea has poured over me
and I have drowned!
Parable 3. The Prison of Iron
Where is the one who can break the chains of this prison?
Where is the one who can break these bars of iron
And deliver my soul from this Hell?
That I may sleep in peace, and be cleansed from my secret faults.
Parable 4. The Science of God
In the darkness
I see a wondrous Light!
I shall separate the Light from the darkness!
I shall make all the black white;
and all the white like a ruby!
First set the earth on fire!
Then add water to the ashes,
And let the rain of Heaven dissolve the hardness of your heart.
Then bring to the surface the soul deeply hidden,
To make the earthly body spiritual,
So that the Holy One will fill the whole world!
Parable 5. The Treasure House
I shall build for us a house
Where we will be saved,
And find green pasture.
I stand at the gate and knock
And if you open to me I will come to you.
For if you open the door
You will find inside a living fountain that giveth youth,
and length of days,
and you will never grow old!
Parable 6. All Things Serve the Earth!
All the beasts of the woods run about!
For in the Earth is water,
Bringing forth grass for cattle,
Bringing forth fruit and bread,
And wine that cheers the heart of all!
For all things serve the Earth!
Parable 7. The Dialogue of the Lover and the Beloved
Come beloved!
And possess the kingdom prepared for you,
And turn to me with all your heart.
For I am the dawn!
The mother of fair love and Holy hope.
I am the fruitful vine
From which comes the bread of life,
Which the poor shall seek and find,
And their hearts shall live forever
Let us go into the garden,
And let the flowers be our crown.
Let us go into the garden,
For the night is past,
And the new day is at hand.
Let us go into the garden,
And see how good it is,
To dwell in love,
Together.
Let us go…
