CONTINUITY OF PERCEPTION [a poem]

Objective perception has to do with man’s conscious realisations

Through his five senses and his brain during his incarnations
But there is also a response of the organism of a different kind
Like dreams and intuitive recognitions which are not of the mind

It is not easy to develop a clear and definite relation

Between outer life and inner reality without exertion 
It takes persistent effort and determined modifications
Of personality aims, interests and motivations

Also the conscious interpretation of the events

In the daily round, into terms of permanent ends
A refocusing of our thoughts on outer world activities
And to think in terms of higher values and realities

Only that viewpoint which is unselfish and loving

And groomed to the service of the whole in being
And confident in the ultimate purpose, can distil awareness
From the higher planes and relate it to the higher consciousness

This process to raise the vibration of one sheath

To that of the next higher vehicle or sheath
And so on up, will be quite strenuous 
But perception will become continuous

We need the problems of our daily experience

That must be solved, to lead us to sentience
Where physical, etheric, astral and mental elements
Are aligned each to constant Soul adjustments

Through Personal alignment we build the bridge filament

And through its use it grows and becomes permanent
Continuity of perception is established and continuous
When perception in both worlds is simultaneous

Motive must be searched for its universal relevance

Action weighed for its finer importance
And experience measured in terms of soul integrity
Thus allowing the Soul to control the aligned personality

Thus the relative Soul value will come into manifestation

If sufficient will power is evoked for its creation
At the end, all this can become instantaneous
As personal alignment may become instantaneous
