Essene gospel of peace - 'God speaks to man'

One of the wonderful things about being on the interfaith path, is the opportunities it brings.  I spend a lot of time delving into the writings of all the worlds religions and faith traditions; for my own personal growth and understanding, and for this blog. 

I am also very aware that there are people reading my posts that may not have had the opportunity to explore religions other than their own, so I look for information that will help inform and enlighten people about the beauty and wisdom, the simalarities that are found across all of our faith traditions.

I discovered this wonderful prayer yesterday and it resonated with me, much the same way as the Rig Veda prayer did - you can find that in the May archives.  I love the all encompassing connection to spirit that this prayer brings, the way it honours and reveres the magic that is contained in every moment.

'God speaks to man'

I speak to you.
Be still, Know I am God.

I spoke to you when you were born.
Be still, Know I am God.

I spoke to you at your first sight.
Be still, Know I am God.

I spoke to you at your first word.
Be still, Know I am God.

I spoke to you at your first thought.
Be still, Know I am God.

I spoke to you at your first love.
Be still, Know I am God.

I spoke to you at your first song.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the grass of the meadows.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the trees of the forests.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the valleys and the hills.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the Holy Mountains.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the rain and snow.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the waves of the sea.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the dew of the morning.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the peace of the evening.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the splendour of the sun.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the brilliant stars.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the storm and the clouds.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the thunder and lightening.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you through the mysterious rainbow.
Be still, Know I am God.

I will speak to you when you are alone
Be still, Know I am God.

I will speak to you through the Wisdom of the Ancients.
Be still, Know I am God.

I will speak to you at the end of time.
Be still, Know I am God.

I will speak to you when you have seen my Angels.
Be still, Know I am God.

I will speak to you throughout Eternity.
Be still, Know I am God.

I speak to you.
Be still, Know I am God.
