The Word
after Pathwork Lecture, No. 233,
“The Power of the Word,”
channeled by Eva Pierrakos,
September 25, 1975
The word is the sum total
of what you believe, whatever
it is that you are; it carries the tone
of whatever ethos you exhibit,
what colors expand in your aura,
the arrangement of what planets
orbit around any sun, or whether
or not there is one exercising
the draw of its gravitational force.
The word is the master switch,
the soul’s lever, what illuminates
the flash of the spirit,
what energizes cosmic design.
The word expands within the dust
of the brushstrokes from God’s
hand to Adam’s in Michelangelo’s
ceiling of the Sistine Chapel;
its images shimmer in the vibrant
combination of pastels in the oils
of a painting by Seurat, in which,
as he intended, we discover
harmony in emotion; it emanates
from the perpetuity in not only
the slant but also in the fragrance
of the falling of autumn rain
carved in Hiroshige’s woodblocks.
