! ! Enthusiasm's Promise

You’ve heard it said; it sounds just great – as well it might.. so now there’s just the matter of our really-truly believing it; of living up to it.. The divine world and all its beings rest, reside, it’s said, in each individual, as in the universe; not remote – unless they remain locked beyond forbidding heavy door of ego; not sternly aloof – but ready to offer in abundance, lawfully to the lawful, whatever might be necessary; it’s said they cannot lawfully resist; are eager; smiling, running, to our voice… what might they be thinking, murmuring amongst themselves, as they await the sound of rusty key in rusty lock… to burst out and do what the gods shall do; bring, along with their vast divine forces, that bonus, which is unimaginable until it manifests; a glory as of rising and of setting suns and all that lies beyond.. It’s said, that first they test our courage in daring to pursue their path; test our conviction that they’re there to call upon; test our intelligence in how we go about it; then – as Goethe told us centuries ago: the gods, as Providence, pour upon us means, events, assistance past all dreams of human thought: this, the Good within has vowed to us.
