Kin 179: Blue Planetary Storm
I perfect in order to catalyze
Producing energy
I seal the matrix of self-generation
With the planetary tone of manifestation
I am guided by the power of accomplishment.
Consistent discipline replaces old programs ; old programs are erased according to the intensity of your discipline.*
