My Teacher’s Teacher
your quiet guide and helper on the sacred Path
as I understand,
the Teacher of my Teacher
is my Teacher too.
to hasten learning,
I applied for instruction
from Teacher’s Teacher.
and so my Teacher
became also my classmate.
we had same Teacher.
my Teacher’s Teacher,
was he the librarian Blaise
during Merlin”s time?
Pentecost conclave.
Camelot stories were sent
to Blaise in London.
monks scribed knightly tales.
King Arthur’s knights couldn’t write
but brave and noble.
there was a movie
wherein Blaise was depicted
as Merlin’s master.
was he the John Dee
with a large private library
during Bacon’s time?
John Dee’s library:
Queen Elizabeth the First
browsed his books one day.
John Dee was model
for Ian Fleming’s James Bond.
the author said so.
when writing the queen,
John Dee signed his epistle
as “007”.
he is Master R
among the Theosophists
and other circles.
he is also called
the Great Divine Director.
ever heard of him?
he is the manu
of incoming wave of souls,
the seventh root race.
get the facts first hand!
he says to “assume” makes “ass”
out of “u” and “me”.
I feel quite at home
during the Third Millennium.
friends holding key posts.
but there’s a problem.
the great Brotherhood of Light,
they would make you cry.
crybabies welcome
among the saints robed in white.
to join is to cry!
remember Jesus
complaining loudly about
being forsaken?
Jesus on the cross:
the dark night of the Spirit.
part of sacred rites.
dark night of the soul
is like lunar eclipse.
dark but not too much.
far darker still is
the dark night of the Spirit.
like solar eclipse.
St. John of the Cross
told us his own experience
on the soul’s dark night.
Jesus actually
was not complaining loudly.
he gave us a peek.
“nonetheless, Father,
not my will but Thine be done.”
Jesus showed the Way.
you will have your time
to undergo the same rites
earlier saints went through.
you should study well
how those who have gone ahead
became victorious.
be a crybaby
or don’t be a crybaby.
but do pass the tests!
the Path is funny
even as it’s difficult.
sense of humor helps.
as for my Teacher
and my Teacher’s Teacher too,
I think they both cried!
not ribbing Teachers
but giving you confidence
and encouragement.
since you read these lines,
I’ll bring them at the right time
to your remembrance.
I am human now.
but I will soon be divine.
a whole new ball game.
as Longfellow said,
dust to dust and soul is soul.
the soul survives death.
after casting off
her worn out earthly garment,
the soul is assessed.
if the soul made good
and fulfilled all requirements,
she gets promoted.
though there’s a deadline,
souls enjoy many chances
to learn and balance.
in celestial spheres,
there are no human beings.
they are all on Earth.
humans are of Earth.
divine beings inhabit
the celestial spheres.
if you persevere,
you too will become divine.
worm to butterfly.
as Saint Paul taught us,
it is an eternal race.
we cannot stagnate.
the eternal race
is from glory to glory.
do you understand?
you may ask for help
the Teacher of my Teacher.
he instructs and guides.
he is quite quiet.
he isn’t fond of fanfare.
but he will be there.
