THE SPIRITUAL WAR [a poem]


The fall of spirit into matter at the dawn of time
Was the beginning of the war against the grime  
That was doomed to obstruct his rapid return
No matter how much for his soul he might yearn

Spiritual forces are there to help man on his way
And to fight off the material forces every day
While the material forces on the other hand
Have plenty ignorant people under their command  

The higher spiritual path for mankind
And the path of matter can be defined
As the poles of Good and evil, light and darkness
Jinn and Yang, the path to eternal brightness

Today it signifies Mammon and big business
Where there is no room for brotherliness
Against the impoverished, jobless hordes
Who are forced to reach for their swords

To fight the injustice and cruelty of a social order
In which money takes the place of God across every border
And war is engineered by greed masquerading as patriotism
Through leaders professing to their own atheism

This occult or spiritual war taking place between forces
Of light and darkness with good and evil causes
Manifests on the material and mortal planes spiritually
As well as politically, culturally, and economically

It is difficult to discern the affiliations of our leaders
In this battle when there is a multitude of occult Orders
And Secret Societies working underground
Leaving no traces of their activities to be found

Thus, well-meaning people are easily duped to make a stand
And supporting long-range aims of which they do not understand
Believing they are working for a good cause
While they have been infiltrated by a dark force

Such is the fate of Religions and Masonic Lodges worldwide
That led us to this world of Jekyll and Hyde
Where our rulers have become the underlings            
Of economists and their sequesterings

  1. Edward,
    At the risk of offending you, I believe you may be a bit hasty with some of your evaluations and comments. I was a Mason for some years. I quit hardly because of Dark Forces of which their can be little if any in Masonry, but rather Dead Forces. It is almost a dying breed. The Conspiracy Theorists have certainly not spent any time in a Masonic Lodge. To go another step, Foster Bailey was a Mason, as were some of the greatest men in the Western World in past generations. Bailey a wonderful little book called The Spirit of Masonry which most anyone could read without being a Mason and profit thereby. I suspect if Bailey was still alive, he would be chagrined with the state of modern Freemasonry not because of misuse of power but because of its now relative powerlessness.
    PS I think we should try to remember that the real spiritual warfare, the holy jihad, is an internal one as suggested by the Bhagavad Gita and clearly hinted at by DK and AAB in many of their writings. When I say the Great Invocation, I try to remember that it is not just about bringing Light into the Planet, but also Light into my little Sphere. Bringing down powerful energies from the Triad through Soul into my woefully inadequate personality. I wish well, keep the faith, spread the Light and worry less about the Dark. Robert
