THE AROUSAL
She arose from the darkness
She arose from the night
She arose without form
She arose without sight
She arose at the first
She remains till the last
She arose, mighty Goddess
She arose!
She divided from the darkness
The Lord Who was the light
He arose from the Goddess
As the day rises from night
He appeared in fire and glory
He appeared in fire in might
He arose, mighty God
He arose!
She was as His mother
And He was as Her son
They were brother and sister
She was Moon, He was Sun
She was night, He was morning
As the dawn brought forth the light
They arose in the beginning
They arose!
Light revealed what dark concealed
What was unknown now became known
What was formless now took form
What had been unseen was shown
The world we are familiar with
Unfolded from them both
In seven planes that arose
That arose!
The lord of light fled from the darkness
For He knew that He was free
The dark mother sought the light out
For She created it to see
Light fled into every corner
She pursued in every space
Light and shadow showed the world that aroseThat arose!
'To Rise You Must Fall' she learned
For if you want the light
You must too complete the journey
You must travel through the night
Only then can you achieve it
The Union which You seek
And the Great Work arose
It arose!
To reunite Spirit and Matter
Was not an easy task
'Twas a path of many lifetimes
'Twas a great deal to ask
A hundred billion Sparks of Life
She sent from Herself to Him
And our Souls they arose
They arose!
The One became the Nine
And the Nine became us all
Living many lifetimes
In many ports of call
Learning all the lessons
That the world of light can teach
In the pattern of existence that arose
That arose!
From the smallest to the largest
From sub-molecules to suns
All arise from the great Goddess
And to Her all return
As we struggle through the seven planes
Back to the place where we were born
We continually arise
We arise!
Now the blade is in the chalice
And the sun shines at midnight
And the light is one with darkness
And the day is one with night
For all things come together
In the heart of the wise
And the children of the Goddess now arise
We now arise!
