Synopsis

These poems were written over a period of about 30 years, in the course of my travels in America and Europe, teaching courses and workshops in consciousness expansion, meditation, psychedelics, shamanism, alchemy and emerging new worldviews.

Some of these poems were recorded on a spoken voice CD called Spirit Soundings with sonic and musical accompaniment by Kit Walker and friends.

The Song of the Pearl is my adaptation of a 5^th century Gnostic hymn describing the soul's journey from incarnation, through birth and growth, and to ultimate return to the origin.

Epilog I: Gnostic Themes in The Song of the Pearl

Epilog II: The Road to Language 

Epilog III: A Riddle with Six Answers
