To manifest the reality-form of the

Kingdom of Heaven of Jesus,

Are giving birth to a new era

Of new illumination and new perfection. ```

At Your Feet.

Alas, they will never know

Where their unlit and dark action

Will lead them.

They will never know what awaits them

For their most deplorable fate.

```

Translation

```

Father, the excruciating pain from

The cross-torture

Is about to end my life at this moment.

How is it possible, Father,

That You, too, have renounced me?

Look, my forehead is swimming

In the stream of blood,

My heart is dying of immediate thirst

And the thorn-crown that I am wearing

Is far beyond my capacity to bear.

Translation

```

The words that flow from my mouth

Fail to reach the ears of my Lord Supreme.

My heart-cry draws my Beloved Supreme to me

Like a magnet.

O my mind, cry and cry,

The way Jesus cried for his eternal

Heavenly Father.

Renounce all that you have

And become all that you are:

God-Love.

O God-child, O Mary’s son Jesus,

You are dancing

So soulfully and beautifully

In ecstasy supreme.

Sing your advent’s victory-song.

In Heaven and on earth,

In darkness-life and illumination-life,

I hear your victory-bell. ```

Translation

```

Lord Supreme,

Your son Christ has become eternally great

By offering His life to the Cross.

He has become great

By becoming humanity’s salvation-light.

I know that ungrateful humanity

Will never be able to realise the real Christ,

For what they have is a dark, stone-hearted life.

Everybody calls me mad.

Am I really mad then?

Tell me, Mother, is there anybody

Who is not mad

In Your eyes, in Your vast world?

A foolish and mad fellow

As long as You will place me on Your Lap

And there I shall become another Christ

And another Buddha of

Compassion-Illumination. ```
