Alien Psychology

The Great Serpent Mound is a 1,3oo ft long

prehistoric effigy mound in Ohio.  

Alien Psychology

~

At first there is only quantum SpAce,

spiraling, waving, pointing, all over the place;

the infant mind floats in Oceanic consciousness,

a potential Star, asleep in a Sea of bliss.

~

Mind is spacious and undifferentiated,

no boundaries have yet been human created;

only airy waves of pneumatic spirations,

fiery particles of scintillae germinating.

~

But then we learn that sounds form ideas,

the airy waves vibrate noise in our ears;

we learn to fix boundaries in the psyche,

establish the meaning that this name means I. 

~

So Mind-SpAce is slowly filled with content,

thoughts, beliefs, fixations, firm-held concepts;

thinking then conjures-up an egoic thinker,

who we believe we are, doctor or cleaner.

~

Conditioning thus influences who we think we are,

mental matter shaped into a persona or mask;

but who are we really behind the play of words;

is there a true Self in spaciousness unheard?

~

To find out I must suffer disintegration,

as if by an "Alien from SpAce" invasion;

abducted on high by way of transcendence,

I receive a vision from a higher intelligence.

~

My real Self exists in airy formlessness,

a sol-like Soul born of the watery abyss;

the earthling, once a spark, is fire forged,

a quantum being from a Saurian disgorged.

~

The Dragon-Spirit constellates the Pearl divine,

establishes the Soul-boundary in the Sky of Mind;

an archetypal Filius conceives itSelf reborn,

for only a Child enters back into Heaven.

~

The unconscious act of conjuring-up a thought,

is the same formulation for creating the Orb;

the Magic-Wand of Hermes the Magician,

reappears the true Self, no-longer forgotten.

the winged Orb of enLightenment forged

by two reconciling Serpents.
