I am the Wind that breathes upon the sea.
I am the Wave of the Ocean.
I am the murmur of the Billows.
I am the Ox of Seven Combats.
I am a Vulture upon the Rocks.
I am a Beam of the Sun.
I am the Fairest of Plants.
I am a Wild Boar in Valor.
I am a Salmon swimming in the Water.
I am a Lake in the Plain.
I am a Word of Science.
I am the Hands of the Mother.
I am the Point of the Lance in Battle.
I am the One Who Created in the Head the Fire.
Who is it, who throws the Light upon the meeting on the Mountain?
Who announces the Ages of the Moon?
Who teaches the Place where lies the Sun, if not I?

I was sent forth from Power
I have come to those who reflect upon me
I have been found among those who seek after me.
Look upon me, you who reflect upon me.
And you hearers, hear me.
You who are waiting for me take me to yourselves,
And do not banish me from your sight.
Nor make your voices hate me nor your hearing.
Be on your guard. Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time.
Be on your guard. Do not be ignorant of me.
For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the lover. I am the virgin.
I am the mother I am the daughter.
I am the barren one and many are my children.
I am she whose wedding is great and I have not taken a husband. I am the midwife &she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labor pains.
I am the silence which is incomprehensible.
I am the utterance of my name.

Why you who hate me do you love me?
Why do you hate those who love me?
You who deny me, confess me,
And you who confess me, deny me.
You who tell the truth about me,
You lie about me & those who have lied now tell the truth. You who have known me,
Be ignorant of me.
And those who have not known me, let them know me.
For I am knowledge and ignorance.
I am shame and boldness.
I am shameless; I am ashamed.
I am strength and I am fear.
I am war and I am peace.
Give heed to me,
I am the one who is disgraced.
I am the great one.
And I, I am compassionate and I am cruel. Yes, I am compassionate, and I am cruel. Be on your guard: Do not hate my obedience . Be on your guard: Do not love my self control.
In my weakness, do not forsake me, And do not be afraid of my power. For why do you despise my fears? Why do you curse my pride?
I am she who exists in all fears. I am strength in trembling.
I am weak and I am well.
I am senseless and I am wise.
I am the one who has been hated everywhere.
I am the one who has been loved everywhere.
I am the one who has been hated everywhere.
I am the one who has been loved everywhere.
I am the one who has been hated everywhere.
I am the one who has been loved everywhere.
I am the one they call Life and you have called Death.
I am the one they call Law. You call Lawlessness.
I am the one you have pursued. I am the one you have seized.
I am the one you have scattered.
You gather me together.
Before me you have been ashamed, and you have been shameless to me. I am godless.
I am Goddess.

Come forward.
Come forward to childhood. Come forward.
Do not despise it because it is small. Do not despise it because it is little. Come forward.
Come forward to childhood. Come forward.
Come forward to childhood.
Do not separate the great from the small. For the small is known in the great. Come forward.
Come forward to childhood. Come forward.
Come forward to childhood.

Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am she who cries out.
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am the knowledge of my name.
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am the she who cries out and I listen.
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am the one who is called Truth.
I am the who’s called Iniquity.
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am the judgment. I am the acquittal
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness I am lust. I am self control.
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am all sound.
You can't hear me.
Hear me in tenderness and learn of me in roughness. I am mute and many are my words.

You honor me & you whisper against me. You who are vanquished
Judge your conquerors first
Judge them before they judge you,
For guilt and innocence exist in you. You honor me & you whisper against me. If you are condemned, who will acquit you? If you are acquitted, who will detain you? For what you see inside of you
You see outside of you,
It is visible, it is your garment.
And what you see outside of you,
You see inside of you;
It is visible, it is your garment.
You honor me & you whisper against me.
Hear me you hearers
And learn of my words you who know me.
I am the hearing that is attainable to everything; I am the speech that cannot be grasped.
I am the name of the sound.
I am the sound of the name.
I was sent forth from Power
I have come to those who reflect upon me
I have been found among those who seek after me.
Look upon me you who reflect upon me, And you hearers, hear me,
You who are waiting for me take me to yourselves
Do not banish me from your sight.
Nor make your voices hate me nor your hearing. Be on your guard.
Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or any time. Be on your guard, do not be ignorant of me.
I am the name of the sound.
I am the sound of the name.
