The StarWheel Sutras speak a language of metaphors, inner intuition and archetypal symbols. They express the perennial spiritual wisdom from many traditions. They launch many possible interpretations but let you pick your own.
[This description of the StarWheel Sutras is intentionally repeated on every Sutra page.]

SW 001 — Star Seed
Birth
Shimmering with glorious Birth,
the seed is gracefully landing in your hand.
It looks so tiny but it contains you all,
from Spirit to Spirit.
Dare to dive in and the ocean will sustain you: this is Self trusting Self.
Listening to intuition, one walks out the door.
Embracing the vision, the old house disappears.
Delightfully nurture all seeds:
they know the exact time & the perfect dance;
they are lovingly planted by the Seed-Maker.
In the garden of Self, there is the seed, the sprout,
the flower, the fruit and the seed again.
Beyond all seasons, there is pure Light.
SW 002 — Hiero Disk
Openness
Out of the infinite Play of Being,
the primeval holo-glyphs encode manifestation.
Cosmic wisdom whispers the unspeakable.
Like a bird let free, the Home Call soars.
Who is singing?
You, the Creation Keeper.
Encompassing Openness,
where does home stop?
When one asks, one must remember to receive;
when one receives, one must forget to ask:
therefore, home is everywhere.
The Hostess Queen welcomes all travelers.
Keep calling back & forth whole new worlds:
in open creation you are staying home.
SW 003 — O-Ri-Na
Growth
For every root, there is a flower,
for every flower, there is a fragrance,
for every fragrance, there is a butterfly.
Who said you are alone?
Before walking, swimming; after walking, flying:
in time, a greater life weaves through the smaller life.
Ascending Growth is delightfully unavoidable:
this is the love of the Whole within the Fragment.
The Small, the Large and the Whole:
a Golden family.
Breaking the spell of separation, you discard the cocoon.
Dancing within Yourself, you sip nectar from all cups.
Looking for kin, you return with joyful company.
For every You, there is Me.
SW — 004 Trans-Chamber
Initiation
A candidate to Initiation at the bottom of the life pyramid,
ready to be empty free of form.
Above is Within: fire-crystal sun.
Are you ready for ascension within?
You only need to be thirsty and let it drink you all.
This Lake is so still,
can you hear the golden bells ringing
and the sacred spring bubbling up the spinal sky?
The colorful canoe of life is left on the shore:
one crosses without even looking back.
Making Love with the Light:
The Queen Lotus cup
is rooted in the King Pyramid.
SW 005 — Temple Mirror
Truth
A multi-storied, multi-tiared temple.
hosting a trans-dimensional doorway
on its launching roof.
Meeting Eye to Eye, who is seeing?
The beam of perception is returning to the seer:
success is seeing oneself within everyone.
I look at the four seasons
and I have planted my seeds.
I look at the ten horizons
and I have spread my wings.
I look at Mother Earth
and here are all my children.
I look at You and I am shouting: Wedding!
The Truth of Self to Self.
SW 006 — Mula Wheel
Foundation
Fire and water are the inner warrior & lady-love.
Drawing water, breathing fire:
power permeates the universe.
Mula-Wheel is the Foundation,
the alchemical vessel
where you weave and re-spiral the primal energies.
You are creating a sacred womb for a child to be born.
Who is that child? It is You as Light.
This is Awareness.
Allowing the tingling frequency to orchestrate the way,
kindling the flames with golden dew drops from your heart,
the cosmic sap ascends your tree-nature.
Well nurtured, you drip with raw nectar.
Between breaths,
you evaporate into Light.
SW 007 — Cardinal Cathedral
Sacredness
The flower bud blossoms and creates a Cathedral.
The petals are the ogival rose-windows,
and the stems are the columns.
You are the Ceremony!
Within the heart, we have an ongoing date
with the holy life-mate:
it’s a sweet secret from beyond time.
Deep inside the well of life, images of stars.
The young cubs call upon the parent sphinx.
You are the Galactic Gardener singing to many seeds,
with harmonic tones of Golden resonance.
Your song is rain to the roots and dew to the flowers.
Chalice in your hand, chalice on the altar.
Sacredness.
SW 008 — Stargate Ring
Transparence
Knowing yourself as heavenly mandala,
you are wearing a lacy dress of starlight.
Modeling Harmony,
one attracts conscious loving attention.
High fashion of inner beauty:
star Transparence.
You are All and Everyone,
two musical octaves in perfect unison.
You are deciding every move
for each grain of sand & each leaf in the wind.
You are every flashing thought in the many worlds.
Embodying infinite regal dignity,
You are shining Royalty:
a hologram of translucent Nobility.
SW 009 — Soul Craft
Encounter
A view into a soul-sphere Merkaba.
Welcoming family guests:
they are one and many, it’s a beautiful story.
The house is buzzing with new weddings
and new offsprings.
A dancing pin-point of light is landing.
The bamboo shoots overnight.
Gentle Encounter.
May I show you my house? – it is now your house.
And the fountains in my gardens – please refresh yourself.
Can you really tell the hosts from the guests?
You are the One Dancer
Welcoming yourself in myriad bodies.
SW 010 — Sunbow Circle
Dance
There is a Sunbow Bridge between all beings,
when we suddenly forget to keep alone
and become again a full blossom for each other.
The four winds of the babbling mind,
and the four rains of the bubbling emotions
create the myriad swirling colorful dreams.
At center, no more winds, no more rains, just the tranquil Home of stillness.
See:
you touch the circle so lightly, so swiftly,
and yet you embrace it so fully, so eruptively.
Dance has entered you.
The loving Presence.
You.
SW 011 — A-Zu-La
Joy
This is a magic ring for Star-faeries,
to wear on their fingers of light.
A circle of Love. Infinite alliance.
They all swing and sing along, dancing songs in the sky.
They all leap and win our hearts, giving wings to our smiles.
We all live in the same body: Life.
The dancers of heaven are flying in our midst:
are you seeing them traveling between you and You?
The angels of Paradise are singing in your head:
are you hearing them calling your very name?
O Faery Friend,
being of Joy and Happiness,
will you lift your veils
and turn them into dancing wings?
SW 012 — Field of Light
Radiance
The cosmic Field of Light knows no boundaries.
At the spring a water jug, on the river a canoe;
in the ocean a galaxy, in the galaxy a spring again.
This is home. Great Respect.
We are musical notes and fractally nested orchestras,
nodes and exquisitely woven melodic fields.
O Friend,
a thousand times you went back to the old temple:
today, quit being wavelet and enter being Source,
immensely, endlessly, passionately.
Holding hands with yourself and weaving the universe,
you create the lovers and all the love affairs.
Inside outside, the same Love Dance,
the same Radiance.
