Most folks are bent on personal gain, ego gratification and success of their individual ambitions. But the Elfish Dharmaist has relinquished personal ambition in order to serve that Greater Power that is the Ever Vibrant Radiance of Faerie, finding thereby personal satisfaction in being in Harmony with the Great Dance and instrumental in the evolution of the spiritual consciousness of all being. For Elfin is not for elves alone. The power of the Elves touches all beings inspiring them to become more in tune with their true inner natures and to fulfill thems'elves as unique and individual souls. From the Elven point of view, everyone who is in harmony with their own soul, wheither they are elves or not, are thus in harmony with nature... on their true path in life and therefore contribute to the happiness that all elves feel in experiencing the genuine and true. We elfin much prefer being in the company of those individuals who are 'real' and down to earth even if somewhat crude to those seemingly more sophisticated folks who are 'fake' and ever disingenuous.

It is not that there is anything wrong with seeking personal success and satisfaction in the elven view, as long as it isn't acquired at the expense of others. In fact, it is the most natural and prevalent disposition for elves and all manner of folk. But the elfin dharmaists have temporarily yeilded to a greater power for the duration of the important and much needed mission, the transition from a self consuming and avarious people destroying each other and the very planet that supports them, to a mutually supportive and symbiotic folk who can pursue their personal goals in the safety and freedom we all need. Those ancient elves who have dedicated thems'elves to this purpose have 'burnt their true names' in the Eternal Silver Flame of Elfin and will not reclaim them until that night finally comes when we all are free to love and dance and play without concern.

We burnt out names by sacred flame
before the darkening night
beneath two trees we pledged to see
the dawning of the light
a million fires born from that single flame
we vow to stars eternal
to earth we'll come again
until each soul that slumbers here
to truth it does awake
the growing light of elfin upon the dawn doth break
and we'll embrace, remember
the truth of who we are
reclaim our names and once again
be Children of the Stars
