The Fountain

 

 

 

        Companions on the Path,

there is a discovery waiting for you, its invitation always open,

it is a place most extraordinary—oh, better to say, a place

        most superlatively extraordinary—

It is a place where all paths lead, whatever path might be yours—

You can be assured all paths eventually do lead & converge here,

       It is a place that Time itself brings all paths to.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, on this perpetually suffering,

yet glorious & always open to potential & always open to joy

        & always open to love planet,

                        it is where you’ve always wanted to be—

Perhaps you did not know. Multitudes & multitudes upon this planet

        still do not know.

But I do think you must be among those who know.

 

What is this discovery? What is this place?

On your own, whatever your own path might be, I have no doubt,

        you may indeed find it.

But if you would join me, we might discover it together, you & I—

That is to say: You & you & you & I, all of us together, we, Earth’s

        family of humanity,

we all can discover it, it will eventually come into view.

Indeed, it may take a little while, more or less—there really is no deadline

        in human evolution—,

but if you wish to make this discovery, sooner rather than later,

        I assure you, you will—

I am here to share with you what I can, and after we have traveled

a ways together, when we do make this discovery together,

when we do find this place, I assure you, you will know it.

Let Time do the work required, for its intention is our intention,

        that we find this place…

Time & time & time goes, cycle after cycle after cycle…

Companions on the Path, Have your eyes been opened?

Look, we have come this far through the Labyrinth—

What a journey we’ve taken through so many corridors

        of the Labyrinth!

Are you ready now to make the discovery? Are you ready?

        Look, it is there, before us—

Do you see there a Fountain in the midst of the garden?

Already you must realize this is no ordinary Fountain.

        No, it is certainly no ordinary Fountain.

What is this Fountain? What are these Waters that glow?

From even a distance, in their very flow, they seem filled with Light—

Up-rushing Waters of illumination, scintillating like Sun upon sea,

Waters iridescent of color changing from moment to moment,

        golden-shimmering Waters of living flame—

And this singing all around enchantingly beautiful—do you hear it?

A subtle, mesmeric Melody—have you not heard it before,

        somewhere?

Each drop of up-rushing spray falling back into the pool,

like ringing notes struck, clear crystal notes of an invisible xylophone

        seemingly all surrounding.

 

Do you see how these Waters appear living?

Do you see the flames within them like myriads of tiny fishes

        moving in ever-shifting waves?

Do you hear the Waters how they speak to you, call you?

        How the Waters seem to know you?

                                                                          Come, then,

gaze into these Waters and perhaps you will see

        what you have never seen before.

Look deep into the Waters of the Fountain and you will see

the Sun centered where the up-rushing of Fire & Water

        geyser into Air.

Come now, to the edge of its Earthen basin, cup your hand, take a sip

        of this Water, taste this Water.

Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted? Isn’t this what you’ve always

        searched for?

Isn’t this the Water of New Life? You will know it firsthand.

 

It is time. It is time to come to the full experience

        of the Fountain.

It is time for you to strip away your fear, your apprehension,

        any shame that you might feel—

Come, let us enter the Fountain together, let us step into the Waters

        of the Fountain, do not be afraid.

Have you ever felt such Water flowing upon your flesh?

Let the up-rushing sprays bathe you, permeate you, pass through you.

Realize you are about to find yourself hovering in mid-Air—

In the midst of the up-rushing Waters of the Fountain

marvellously you will find yourself in utter suspension

        in mid-Air.

 

It comes time to speak of our discovery—

It comes time to speak of our joy at having found.

Here, now, in the Fountain, we are as children at play once again.

Creativity suddenly leaps to a whole new plane of super-creativity.

Our hurts, our wounds, remembered traumas of our past, are healed,

        we do not suffer here.

These are the healing, rejuvenating, life-unending Waters.

Here is an intensification of energy such as you, your body & soul,

        have never before known.

This is where your body undergoes its frequency ascension.

This is where soul realizes inspired its own immortality.

These are the Waters of the super-abundance of Spirit.

New forms of whatever you focus upon are revealed to you.

Here, the Third Eye, the Diamond in the forehead, opens to true Vision.

Intuition is meteoric, these are the Waters of illumination.

This is where you are spoken to in new tongues.

Here you discover the heart in its overwhelming magnificence,

here you know the reality of love firsthand, boundless, unending, potent,

        a power radiant like the Sun.

                                                                  Here, all is celebration,

all is multidimensional, omnidirectionally-flowing Song.

Sing out! What do you wish for? What do you wish to manifest?

Do you see that in the Fountain all is possible?

That these are the Waters of pure protean potentiality?

These are the universal Waters that flow through us all.

These are the Waters of transformation—

          These are the Waters that transmute—

                       These are the Waters of Self-realization.

This is where the Who-I-Am comes to you in all its glory

        as Revelation.

Here you come face to face with the Witness who compassionately

        watches you.

This is where your own Self Divine takes your hand.

This is the Marriage place of you & your Divine Form.

This is the Marriage of Fire & Water.

This is the Marriage of Sun & Moon.

This is where you are blasted by the new stars

        of a new sky.

 

Is it not time to sing that Song?

Is it not time to celebrate this discovery?

That we can live continuously at one with

the Living Waters of the Fountain!

Together, we have certainly found

        the Living Fountain.
