Excerpt: Chasia's Enchantment Expanded Edition: Poems of World Peace, Love & Universality (by (author) Hilda Chasia Smith)

UNIFIED SPIRITUALITY AND TRUTH

Study some Jewish Torah, Kabbalah deep codes.
Yogic and Vedic wisdom to awaken union.
Union of transits, true transits to life.
African healers and First Nation connections
are beings of light.
The Tao and Confucius are Asian and Eastern.
All of this is learning and sharing.

The Inca, the Celtic, the Toltec, the North.
The wise ones of all lives, truth knowers, deep truth.
Together we join sharing planet and space.
To repair and heal this world with
love and with grace.

All sacred teachings —
The Christians, the Muslims, the Jews
over four billion Abrahamic people
all of the others, we all need some healing.
The great and the small, sharing lifeline and all
the world according to the Torah is one narrow bridge
may we all hold hands spiritually in love
sharing this earth.

Shalom. Om. Namaste.
