THE SEEKER SPEAKS

      Of all the ways to apprehend what is,
      Which way is most insightful and profound,
      Devised to lead to transcendental bliss
      Accessing ultimately Being’s ground?

      For all the knowledge science has procured
      On the observable material plane,
      Beyond the physical there lies immured
      A spirit realm some venturers attain.

      Or so they say, but second-hand report
      Will not suffice or gratify my need
      To know directly in my private court
      Of judgment, where experience must lead.

           Therefore, I shall proceed to find the means
           To verify such supernatural scenes.
