Christ the Eternal Tao: Chapter Three

Chapter Three from the book 'Christ the Eternal Tao' by Hieromonk Damascene.
Text:
As our actions proceed from our mind,
So does the Primal Action proceed from the Primal Mind.
As the Primal Word is like a sound -
A still sound,
So is the Primal Action like a Breath -
A still Breath.
And as a breath rests in a word that is uttered,
So does the Primal Breath rest in the Primal Word.
In you there is breath,
Material and impersonal,
Diffusing itself while sustaining your separate and distinct life.
In the Primal Essence, as Life itself,
There is also Breath,
But a Breath that is purely Spiritual and Personal,
Not diffusing itself but sustaining the life of everything without distinction.
The Breath of the Primal Mind is like a wind.
The wind blows where it wills:
You hear its sound,
But cannot tell whence it comes or whither it goes.
So is the Breath Who rests in the Word,
And so are those beings who rest in the Breath of Heaven.
