Together these two forces act as one;
Without the one, the other were as nought;
They are the Heat and Light thrown from the sun
Which warm and vivify the earth as run
The planets in their courses; nor is ought
Upon the face of earth they did not bring;
Through these life-giving rays to us are brought
All earthly blessings—Life and every thing
That blooms and fructifies to which we fondly cling.

Our sun, like every other sun we see,
Is a reflex of its Great Prototype,
The Spirit Sun, from which perpetually
Is drawn all that is possible to be—
That is, all primal principles, when ripe
Are the conditions for them to descend
Into this outer sphere, where Pan's rude pipe
Breaks forth in music, as the forces tend
To consummate through Nature Being's aim and end.
7.
The home of God, as it to me appears,
Is the Great Spirit Sun, whence emanate
All things beheld by scientists and seers—
The births of countless myriads of years
Wherein the sexual forces procreate
The suns and universes, and the forms
That naturally fill each vast estate,
Preparing, through each sun that lights and warms,
Abodes for future life's innumerable swarms.
8.
God is a highly conjugated Pair,
Once lowly born and dwelling on some earth
So far remote that no one may declare
Or comprehend the stretch of time, or dare
To picture them at the domestic hearth,
Where first they felt the flame of love divine
To which their dawning future gave the birth;
Then through their consciousness began to shine
Their vast unfolding, as their lives should intertwine.
9.
They too sprang from a God who had before
Been born as they, and like to them did grow
A Mutual Pair, unfolding Being's door
For earthly suns and planets to outpour
And then become with light and life aglow;
As closer still their sexual union grew,
Life and intelligence unfolded more,
Until the Pair we call our God, with due
And orderly succession, sprang to earthly view.
