I would like to pass on this lovely piece from Barborka's book
the divine Plan.

> ATMAGITA or The Song of the Monad
>
> From the Infinite Source al All - the very Fount of Being - aeons
> upon aeons ago came I,
>
> Issuing forth as a Spark from the Essence of Flame itself, aware
> of naught but transcendent glory.
>
> Commencing a cyclic journey covering incomputable periods of
> time,
>
> Descending from the regions of starry brilliance -
>
> Akin to their flaming lustre, free from all mantles of form -
>
> I could speed anywhere in the vast reaches of Space:
>
> Through solar systems or galactic universes, withal having no
> feeling of awareness,
>
> Yet ever impelled onwards and downwards, irresistibly drawn to
> the regions of density - Descending lower and lower, stage by
> stage, attracted to the realms of Form.
>
> There I gathered vestures pertaining to the Kingdoms of Fire,
> Air, Water, and Earth,
>
> Lingering an aeon in each kingdom, seeking ever a permanent
> mansion.
>
> At length I emerged from the subtle realms and became manifest in
> a material form,
>
> Imbedded in a crystalline encasement, where the pristine
> brilliance of Flame itself was mirrored.
>
> After ling aeons and cycles I acquired new vestures:
>
> Where lasting gems and shining brilliants were exchanged for
> beauty and symmetry of form, and color and fragrance,
>
> Where the glowing sunlight stimulated yearning for a return to
> the ancestral Home - higher, ever higher.
>
> With the passing of further aeons I entered another kingdom.
>
> Having now the power of moving from place to place, and able to
> wing my way once more;
>
> Then, with the taking on of warm-blooded vehicles, came new
> sensations of devotion, sacrifice and love.
>
> At length I awoke to find myself one of the Host of the Human
> Kingdom,
>
> Learning of the transmuting power of love, pulsating in
> consonance with the Divine Plan
>
> Now under the regency of the Lordly Ah-hi, [Manasaputras -- Sons
> of Mind -- "The Awakening of humanity."]
>
>
> Consciously may I strive to speed upon my way to attain knowledge
> of Atman:
>
> As the spark seeks to rejoin the Flame from whence it sprang.
>
> Ever ascending upwards, higher even that the whirling Palaces of
> the Planetary Lhas, [Planetary Regents, Watchers, or Logoi.]
>
> Even to the Primeval Seven Sons of Light,
>
> Past blazing suns and trailing comets, past galaxies and island
> universes, even to the Central Spiritual Sun .  .
>
> For I have learned to say: Aham eve Parabrahma.  ["I am verily
> the Boundless."]
