Obelisk and Basilisk

Obelisk and Basilisk

~

Penetrate with wisdom the sky,

with the Obelisk, the pointed mind;

concentration is found to be natural,

the quantum Point inside us all.

~

Then there's the Basilisk or snake,

the quantum Wave or diffuse state;

the need to be everywhere at once;

for being connected is our essence.

~

At first this leads to con-fusion,

One light spread in all directions;

Christ on the cross of sacrifice,

showing the way to eternal life.

~

Fusion in God is paradoxical,

omnipresent yet also individual;

"all" into One and one in All,

the secret of rising from the fall.

~

Thus the magic wand, Caduceus,

reconciles the nature of two spirits;

male and female, orb and wings,

goal orientated and multi-functioning.

~

And so the Flow becomes holy wine,

intoxication of communion divine;

and the Particle of individuality,

penetrates the circle into Singularity.
