Identifier

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
Robert Frost – from The Poetry of Robert Frost
A voice said, Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul and body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Spirit enters flesh
And for all its worth
Charges into earth
In birth after birth
Ever fresh and fresh.
We may take the view
That its derring do
Thought of in the large
Was one mighty charge
On our human part
Of the soul's ethereal
Into the material.
