The Four Valleys - Second (Malakút, the Kingdom)

Boundless

Call of the Kingdom

Call of the Kingdom

The Love of my Lord is boundless

His Love brought me into being

Gave me an inner eye

Spoke to my inner ear

Showed me the paradise of oneness

Contented me with His Will

Accepted me in His paradise of holiness

Sanctified me from my limitations

Showed me the paradise of His kingdom

Let me follow His Command

Circle round His Beauty

Call of the Kingdom

Call of the Kingdom

Call of the Kingdom

O ye lovers of truth, lovers of peace, 

lovers of good

A heavenly home awaits you 

as well and truly it should

Enter the kingdom of God, 

join the choir above

Singing anthems of praise, 

wondrous songs of love

Take up your place 

rejoicing the hearts,

Confirm and inspire the souls

Read the things which are written

Upon your holy scrolls

Chambers

Call of the Kingdom

Chambers

 One chamber of my beating heart

Turns to God in prayer

Bearing all my sins and cares

The torment of my mind

Another hears the answer

Feels the flood of grace

Mercy and forgiveness

Everlasting peace

Another chamber opens

To let this bounty out

Give the world the blessing

Raising someone up

The last one takes the beatings

Feels another’s shame  

Owns the sins and errors

To go to God again

Confined

Distinction 1

Chambers

 Let no-one say that 

the promise is unattainable

Let no-one contend that God’s hands are tied

Let no-one tell you the way is barred

That he has failed although he has tried

The doors of the kingdom are open

The pathway is clearly defined

The trumpet call has resounded

Be no longer confined

Distinction 1

Distinction 1

Distinction 1

 Reality is seen by its definition

It is known by its differences

It exists in its distinction

It is distinguished in oneness

It diverges in separation

It is defined in remoteness

Effect is caused by distinction

It is tested by difference

It is manifest by definition

We are defined by our sin

We overcome our differences

We exist in our distinction

Be defined in existence

Be different in being

Be distinguished in the kingdom

Distinction 2

Distinction 1

Distinction 1

The contingent world is a world of distinction

A range of degree and condition

The Absolute is a world of unity

Where naught may be seen but Him

Contingent issues from Absolute

Returning in the end

Knowledge of Him returns with it

In the form of faithful souls

Eternal Fields

Gathering Mystics

Eternal Fields

Why would I try so hard to know

What I was taught in pre-existence?

Why would I not accept

What is written on my soul?

Better to seek a way to bestow

This knowledge upon creation

Better to find a way to show

The secrets of the soul

Gathered in those eternal fields

Where nothing negative lies

For Eternity

Gathering Mystics

Eternal Fields

   Let us praise and glorify our Lord

Until we find Him in our hearts

Let us praise and glorify our Lord

Until His Will replaces ours

Let us praise and glorify our Lord

Until He accepts us in His Holiness

Let us praise and glorify our Lord

Until we vanish in His Presence

Let us praise and glorify our Lord

Until we enter His Kingdom

Let us praise and glorify Him

For eternity

Gathering Mystics

Gathering Mystics

Gathering Mystics

  Mystics gather together to read

The verses of the heart

This is how they burn the veils

Which were keeping them apart

So they may be one in vision

One in will and wonder too

Becoming one in perfection

As angels of the kingdom do

Highest Paradise

Kingdom of Immortality

Gathering Mystics

 Friends in paradise hear my plea

Let your grief and sorrow turn to joy

Let your mysteries become wonders

Let your wonders change to light

Join the angels in their songs

Enter the highest paradise

Kingdom of Immortality

Kingdom of Immortality

Kingdom of Immortality

 Come and live where there are no shadows

No hollows or rising hills

Where nothing bites or stings

Nothing wounds or kills

Nothing negative has a place

That which ends will leave no trace

In the kingdom of immortality

Every good is treasured here

Every wonder will it save

But nothing which is negative

Wil ever survive the grave

King of Kings

Kingdom of Immortality

Kingdom of Immortality

O Lord of Lords, King of Kings

Show us Thy Kingdoms on high

Let us enter Thy kingdom of Glory

See the kingdom of Thy Command

The kingdom of Knowledge and Wisdom

Thou holdest in Thy Hand

The unseen kingdom of Oneness

The kingdom Power and Might

The kingdom of Peace and Composure

The kingdom of Vision and Sight

The kingdom of Will and Purpose

The kingdom of Mercy and Grace

The kingdom of Thy Forgiveness

The kingdom of Thy Face

The kingdom of Beneficence and Bounty

The kingdom of Splendour and Light

The kingdom of Sanctity and Nearness

The kingdom of Justice and Right

Life in the Kingdom

Make us Truly Grateful

Make us Truly Grateful

  Sun awakens us

Breezes revive us

Waters sustain us

Fruits deliver us

Life in the kingdom

Is life indeed

Answering every

Unseen need

Make us Truly Grateful

Make us Truly Grateful

Make us Truly Grateful

  O All-Glorious and Bountiful Lord

Make us truly grateful

Grateful for our first life

Grateful for our second life

Grateful for raising us up

Showering upon us Thy Bounty

Allowing us to approach Thee

Enter Thy Kingdom

Obey Thy Command

And circle Thy Mighty Throne

One of Many

Make us Truly Grateful

One of Many

 Let me be one of many

of whom many are one

Let me nourish spirits with inspiration, confirmation and joy

Make me a lamplighter and guide

Let me teach forgiveness, mercy, 

bounty and grace

Outside the limits of time and space

Open Door

Our Friends in the Kingdom

One of Many

    Though I wander in a wilderness

In conformity with Thy Will

I will raise my voice aloud

Summoning the lovers still

Telling them of Thy kingdom

Of eternity

Calling them to a life

Of peace and certainty

Where the plain has been outspread

Negatives are no more  

Inviting them to enter

Through the open door

Our Friends in the Kingdom

Our Friends in the Kingdom

Our Friends in the Kingdom

 Our friends in the kingdom work as a choir

Rejoice the hearts, confirm and inspire

Issuing thunder bolts, building a fire

Raising the souls and the spirits ever higher

Over the Hills

Our Friends in the Kingdom

Our Friends in the Kingdom

 Over the hills is a land of peace

Where awesome wonders never cease

This where we are meant to go

Where secrets and mysteries

Like wildflowers grow

Where fountains gush and rivers flow

The most delightful fruit trees grow

The tree of life will give us shade

All these things for us are made

O Spirit

Penetrating Sight

Paper and Ink

O Spirit, Who gives life to creation

O Spirit, Who gives words their meaning

O Spirit, Whose mysteries are loved

O Spirit, Whose secrets are sought

Increase our life and our understanding

Let our spirits penetrate these 

secrets and mysteries

Make Thy meanings clear, Thy way lucid

That we may enter Thy kingdom

And bow before Thy Throne

Paper and Ink

Penetrating Sight

Paper and Ink

Let my soul see

Questions on the paper

Answers in the ink

Let me be aware of things

Beyond what I can think

Prepare my heart for the descent

Of that which I may know

That which in my outer life

I may do and show

Take my will, make it Thine

Throughout eternity

Let me enter Thy Kingdom

Where I may hear and see

Penetrating Sight

Penetrating Sight

Penetrating Sight

  Out of the clouds of bounty

A rain is beginning to fall

From the branches of the tree of life

The doves are warbling their call

Every man of insight

Has turned toward the light

Every sincere believer

Has penetrating sight

People Tarry

People Tarry

Penetrating Sight

 His Kingdom has come and the people tarry

Letting suspicion make them wary

My voice is raised, my pen is crying

My heart is longing, my soul is sighing

Where are the lovers of God to be found?

His call may be heard all around

Pray Your Way

Shake the Dust From Your Wings

Scientific Heart

   Pray your way to holiness

Leave the vulgar and profane

Take your place in the kingdom

Where no negatives remain

Roam and feed in the pastures

Beside the fragrant spring

Perch upon the branches

Of the tree of life and sing

Scientific Heart

Shake the Dust From Your Wings

Scientific Heart

 Free your heart from the anguish

Of an overbearing mind

Its job is asking questions

Answers the heart will find

When your mind receives an answer

It sees a thousand questions more

An answer to the heart

Will open up the door

To a thousand answers more

Scientists sometime say the mind

Is the only useful part

Science would be nowhere

Without the scientific heart

Shake the Dust From Your Wings

Shake the Dust From Your Wings

Shake the Dust From Your Wings

 O dwellers on the earth of limitations!

Shake the dust from your wings

In the name of your All-Glorious Lord

Soar in the heavens which were created for you

Join the denizens in the holy air of light

Circling the Sun of Truth

Aware of the horizons

Become channels of grace and mercy

Of bounty and forgiveness

Inspire and confirm souls

Rejoice and guide the hearts

Be agents of the Love of God

To all creatures

Until the Kingdom of God

Becomes manifest on His earth

Spirit on Water

Struggle Meant to End

Shake the Dust From Your Wings

 Let the Spirit move on the waters

From the horizon of Thy Grace

Admit us to Thy highest kingdom

That we may see Thy Face

Do not leave us upon the dust

While paradise awaits

Accept the gift of our hearts

Open up their gates

Struggle Meant to End

Struggle Meant to End

Struggle Meant to End

We were meant to struggle

Our struggle was meant to end

That we might find the victory

Our soul to thereby ascend

When the victory is complete

No struggle left to see

We will enter the kingdom

Where we are meant to be

The Soul

Struggle Meant to End

Struggle Meant to End

 “Whoso seeketh to save his soul shall lose it”

The soul must be sacrificed to be found

It must turn away from self, unto God

Then will it be illumined by Him

The soul was not meant to serve itself

But to serve its Creator and others

Then does it shine with the splendour

Which has been placed within it

Contented, holy and sanctified

Manifesting the reality of humanity

Entering the realm of eternity

Thy Days

Thy Days

Thy Days

O God of Glory, Lord of the Worlds

Reveal Thyself to us

Remove our limitations

Open the lids of our eyes

Turn our faces to Thee

That we may realize

The pathway to Thy kingdom

Understand Thy Ways

Make a mighty effort

To serve Thee in Thy Days
