8. The songs of my inner family members
Aspiration is the secret life    Of my soul-seed.
Realisation is the sacred life
    Of my heart-plant.
Revelation is the confident life
    Of my mind-tree.
Manifestation is the inspiring life
    Of my vital-flower.
Perfection is the fulfilling life
    Of my body-fruit.
