False Evidence Appearing Real

Headlines thunder from the screen— 

Apocalypse in every scene— 

Yet fear, that subtle alchemist, 

Distills the real from what is missed. 

It wears the face of coming doom, 

But turns the soul back to its tomb 

Of doubt, of helplessness, of night, 

Forgetting how the inner sight 

Still pierces every veil of clay 

And finds the Sun behind the gray. 

F.E.A.R.—false evidence arrayed 

As solid fact, a game self-played 

To bind the heart in chains of stone— 

While all along the Spirit’s throne 

Stands ready, and the still small voice 

Invites the soul to make its choice: 

To wake, to turn, to build the ark 

Not out of wood, but out of spark— 

The spark of love that knows no end, 

The light no darkness can transcend. 

In this Consciousness Soul age 

Despair itself becomes the stage 

Where ego wakes to who it is— 

A child of stars, a breath of bliss 

That walked through fear and found it thin, 

A paper tiger, paper skin. 

Awake, dear heart—the harvest waits; 

The etheric Christ already sates 

The hunger of the ones who see 

Beyond the veil of history. 

The sky may seem to fall today— 

But only that the true may stay.

The Awakened Heart of the Cosmos
A Book of Spiritual Poetry

Many of you who have followed my work over the years know that I have carried a very deep and personal spiritual experience since 1984. It was a Damascus-like moment — a direct encounter with a love and light so powerful that it changed the entire direction of my life. In that moment, the veil between the physical world and the spiritual world was pulled aside, and I was shown, beyond any doubt, that there is a living, loving reality just beyond what our ordinary senses perceive.

For decades, I struggled to find a way to share what I had seen and felt. A conventional book felt too linear, too small to hold an experience that was vast, living, and eternal. Words on a page could describe it, but they could not transmit it. I searched for years for the right form — something that could carry the living presence of that light and speak directly to the soul of the reader.

Poetry has become that form.

Poetry is the most sublime language of the spirit because it does not merely explain spiritual truth — it embodies it. Through image, rhythm, feeling, and symbol, poetry bypasses the analytical mind and speaks straight to the heart. It creates a living resonance. A true poem does not just tell you about the spiritual world; it allows you to feel its presence, its beauty, and its comfort. In this way, poetry becomes a bridge — a threshold experience — between the visible and invisible worlds.

Over the past years, I have written poems and lyrics drawn directly from my own spiritual journey. These living thoughts emerged from the deep inner work of integrating that original experience of love and light, as well as the many thresholds, trials, and revelations that followed. They are not abstract or theoretical. They are living reflections of a real path walked with Christ as protector and guide.

This book is divided into seven chapters that trace a complete spiritual arc:

• Crossing the Threshold
• Grappling with Evil
• Meeting the Dweller
• Ahriman at the Threshold
• The Karma of Untruthfulness
• The Path of Higher Knowledge
• The Living Cosmos

Together, these poems move from awakening and confrontation with darkness, through moral and spiritual development, into the joyful realization that the human heart is not separate from the cosmos, but is its awakened participant.

I am now beginning to share this book publicly, one poem at a time, here on my blog at http://www.gospelofsophia.com. Each poem will be posted with both the written text and an audio reading, so you may receive it in whichever way most deeply touches you.

If you are walking a spiritual path — especially in these difficult and confusing times — I want you to know that you are not alone. There is a living spiritual world that is real, present, and deeply loving. There is protection. There is guidance. And there is a path through the darkness into greater light.

May these poems be a companion and a light on your journey.

With love and in service to Christ Sophia,
Tyla Gabriel

After each chapter of poems is published, I will create a single blog page for the chapter with the poems hyperlinked so that you can easily access. I will also publish each chapter on my Bandcamp album on my site at www.tyla-gabriel.bandcamp.com. It will be like listening to an audio book - but of poems and praise.  

It’s time to ascend.
