Be a Light unto Thyself

Be a light unto thyself…

as there is no other light,

than the lantern of the soul which embers from within.

There is this one life…

amidst an infinite continuity of lives;

it is we that damn ourselves to hell, and nothing else compels.

The possibility of redemption persists forever.

I try to pay my karmic debt to purchase freedom,

but freedom has no price.

After having lost it, forgotten it;

Redeemed, I have set myself free…

Loving to know truth,

knowing to love truth,

becoming as incorruptible in spirit as,

the authorless authority of the Void.
