about

This is the song that is most directly a message to my infant daughter, in terms of the broader themes of this record. With the lyrics "Child of Light, Blessed of inner sight", I am playing with the etymology of her name once again, but also the broader theme of the Prima Materia being something that could be described as light, and that her capacity to look within is a blessing. The next line, "Your mind is larger than you think; divinity's within your reach", is playing with the notion that, if everything is of the All, and it All is divine, then we are each microcosmic reflections of the All experiencing itself, and thus divinity is not some abstraction that is apart from us. "As above, so below" is one way this notion is usually articulated. Another way that the root essence has often been described is "all is love", or that love is fundamental to the operation of the universe. This idea manifests in lyrics like the one that ends the song, "Inflame thyself with reverence, a love supreme enthroned" which is both a nod to Coltrane's classic album, A Love Supreme, as well as the instruction to "inflame thyself with prayer" that is commonly quoted in occult discourse as a reminder that passion begets results.

lyrics

Child of light
Blessed with inner sight
Your mind is larger than you think
Divinity is within your reach

Joyous one
Your heart a golden sun
Illuminating all the world
As your radiance unfurls

The universe before you
Pluck what thine heart desires
Born of the Limitless
Child of celestial fire

The doorway stands open
Select from endless roads
Enflame thyself with reverence
A love supreme enthroned
