needs?

From nothing every day, and teach
The morning stars to sing,
You have lacked articulate speech
To tell your simplest want |

II.
As an adult man, how clearly do I see that I already am everything
I am, and already own everything I need, without having to "do"

And know the place for the first time. |

| "You are accepted!"...accepted by that which is greater than
you...the name of which you do not know. Do not ask the name
now, perhaps you will know it later. Do not try to do anything,
perhaps later you will do much. Do not seek for name now, perhaps
you will know it later. Do not try to do anything, perhaps later
you will do much. Do not seek for anything, do not perform anything,
do not intend anything. Simply accept the fact that you are
accepted. |

As an adult man, do I lovingly respect the sacredness and beauty
of my own body and that of other men?

life? |

| You cannot devalue the body and value the soul--or...anything
else. |

spirit. |
