Look With Me From This High Place    
By Sandy Jones    

Here is an excerpt from The Melody of Woodcutter
and The King an aliterative written by William Samuel

Look with Me from this High Place.
With the same eye that beheld the axe
now view the Kingdom!
Look to the East. The sun has risen! where morning dew glistens.
North! South!
All you see here, as far as you envision here, is the Kingdom I give you today!
Now, lift up your eye and see the simple sparrow there, the soaring swallow, the sun, the stars.
Everything you see there-- everything envisioned here-- is your very own.
Now, listen to the sounds, Beloved-- whispering wind, laughing children, distant notes proclaiming NOW your Sabbath.
Sounds, too, are my Kingdom, dear one, and I give you them all today.
Next, with the inner eye look at everything childlikeness allows. Envision the oceans, the sands, the multitudes, fair fields of fragrant flowers, oaks unsown in future seasons, distant mountains higher yet than this.
These, too, are yours, my Son!
Yea, all you see here, as far as you envision here, is the Kingdom you are this day.
Listen. Listen and hear!
Even now you are the only Awareness that views this Holy Place!
All you see is the Selfhood you be!
You are this minute the Holy Witness of Me.
You have naught left to do but gird up thy loins and accept they rightful Identity!
Now, deck thyself with majesty and excellency! Array thyself with glory and beauty!
Thine own right hand holding Truth’s Scepter hath saved thee!
From this moment forth, view all things from the standpoint of Perfection because thou alone are the King!
Dominion is given you this day!
Yea I say, be the single Selfhood and reign!
Reign, King of all creation.
