Record: unknown. How this text was taken down (shorthand transcript, listeners' notes or manuscript) is not on record here. Unknown is not an assurance of a stenogram: check the edition's own notes before resting an argument on one word.

> See the ethereal iris’s > Light-abundant round. > Through your eyes’ > Light-forming force > Let your “I” penetrate through the arc, > And then behold from yonder watch > Color flooding the world’s chalice. > Sense our thoughts > Color breathing living > In the chalice's flood of light; > We carry the sensory-semblance > Into spirit-being-realms > And turn ourselves world-infused > To the service of higher spirits. > What you have taken up > Enlivened from dead sensory-semblance: > We wake it in existence; > We add it to the rays of light, > So that the emptiness of matter > Will bear spirit nature > And manifest endowed with love. > In your worlds of will > Feel our world-wide impact; > Spirit shines in matter, > When we are thinking working; > Spirit works in matter, > When we are willing living; > World is I-willing spirit-word.
