My Law - A Maori poem by Tieme Raniapiri Interpreted and read by Chelsi Stahr

My Law poem was written by Tieme Ranapiri and translated from Maori by Kaumātua Kere Graham.

This reading is my personal interpretation of this beautiful poem that was first shared with me by the great Mavis Patilla. Mavis shared so much of her vast knowledge with so many students worldwide. I am honored to have been able to work with her over the years and partake in her extensive knowledge of the Spirit World. I'm also grateful for her assistance in connecting with those who are always there for us on the other side.

Thank you, Mavis - for everything you shared, all the fantastic souls you've touched and taught, and the lives you've changed. You and Jean have helped mold my understanding, and I will always be grateful to you both.

My Law

The sun may be clouded, yet ever the sun
Will sweep on its course till the Cycle is run.
And when into chaos, the system is hurled
again shall the Builder reshape a new world.
Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal :
Move on – for your orbit is fixed on your soul.
And though it may lead into darkness of night
The torch of the Builder shall give it new light.

You were. You will be! Know this while you are:
Your spirit has traveled both long and afar.
It came from the Source, to the Source it returns
The Spark which was lighted eternally burns.

It slept in a jewel. It slept in a wave.
It roamed in the forest. It rose from the grave.
It took on strange garbs for long eons of years
and now in the soul of yourself, it appears.

From body to body your spirit speeds on
It seeks a new form when the old one has gone
and the form that it finds is the fabric you wrought
On the loom of the Mind from the fibre of Thought .

As dew is drawn upwards, in rain to descend
Your thoughts drift away and in Destiny blend.
You cannot escape them, for petty or great,
Or evil or noble, they fashion your Fate.

Somewhere on some planet, sometime and somehow
Your life will reflect your thoughts of your Now.
My law is unerring, no blood can atone
The structure you build you will live in alone.

From cycle to cycle, through time and through space
Your lives with your longings will ever keep pace
And all that you ask for, and all you desire
Must come at your bidding, as flame out of fire.

Once list' to that Voice and all tumult is done
Your life is the Life of the Infinite One.
In the hurrying race you are conscious of pause.
With love for the purpose, and love for the Cause.

You are your own Devil, you are your own God
You fashioned the paths your footsteps have trod.
And no one can save you from Error or Sin
Until you have hark'd to the Spirit within.
