Stasimon 1

Chorus

Beyond all understanding is Divine Mind, we open our hearts and within we find, that which we conceive and believe can be achieved, thus our evolution is as simple as our belief or as complex as a tapestry woven from the threads of fear.

Hold your goal within your mind, and you can cross both space and time, or traverse the frozen tundra or the baking sands of the Sahara.

Within Divine Mind, we find the keys to the deepest sea, the design to provide us with limitless energy, even wings to traverse the skies.

The seasons turn and so do we, with spring turning, the soil frees the seed,

summer sun ensuring growth,

autumn harvest filling the silos,

till winter drives us within to eat the grain

while listening to the falling rain

as our hemisphere freezes once again.

Humanity is filled with souls who are willing to brave surging seas and howling winds.

Ulysses ventured around the known world to return home again.

But the greatest venture is the journey within.

Mother Earth, Gaia, most ancient of all the Gods appears inexhaustible in energy and abundance.

Her soil yields endless prosperity when one rotates the crops.

The geese flock from north to south and the hunters gather more than enough to eat.

Yet the birds always return.

Wild horses roam across the plains, and give chase enriching their own herds

and yet there are always more.

Fishermen cast their nets into the sea, draw them out filled

yet there is always more.

Mother Earth allows her children to suckle at her breasts, in an endless feast.

What is the child's duty?

We care for our mother. We care for our parents and love them.

Only a painful childhood could produce anger against the parents.

Of course there are storms, typhoons and tornadoes, but is this the only weather?

The great warrior, commands with skill, is capable and cares for the soldiers. The military genius knows the Art of War and therefore wins the hearts and minds of the common folk.

Our greatest civic leaders enjoy urban and rural planning. They understand that even the garbage must be removed and the sewage must be processed.

Divine Mind flows through us and we build with intelligence even stabilizing the temperature of our homes and buildings with a minimum of fuel.

We do this with Gaia's support, she is cool in the summer, warm in the winter.

Pipes sunk deep beneath the floor energy exchange balances temperature.

Although stupidity knows no limits, there are also no limits to the power of the mind.

A person who is thoughtful and resourceful can overcome all challenges.

Doctors are discovering the way to conquer diseases that previously had no cure.

Cooperation, co-creation, community, this is the way to success.

We have a duty to Mother Earth and to each other, care for our children and of course insure that each can grow old with dignity.

Honor and chivalry. Keeping the home fires lit. We tend to each other with love and compassion.

When the Gods send us signs, it is wise to respect them. We are blessed to receive them.

Here comes Antigone, suffering daughter of Oedipus.

Could she be part of this unfortunate event?
