The "Word" before words

"The death of earth is to become water, 
and the death of water is to become air, 
and the death of air is to become fire, and reversely.
He who hears not me but the Logos

will say: All is one." Heraclitus, 500 BCE.

"Luna is really the mother of the Sun, which means, psychologically,
that the unconscious is pregnant with consciousness and gives birth to it."

Carl Jung (Mysterium Coniunctionis). 

~

The "Word" before words.

(history of the Pagan Logos and the Ideal Self)

~
Heaven's heave of Pneuma breathes,
the Word inflates our mortal dreams;
life's divine Wind begins its quest,
the Solarization of consciousness.
~

The Word began with philosophy,

Heraclitus explains this mystery;

the Stoics called it animating fire,

the energy behind all things alive.

~

"The seed is the Word of God," Jesus;

Spirit of the Logos in all of us;

implies that the Word begins as latent,

and grows via a process of immanence.

~

Thus the Word of God was born;

the Mind behind all minds formed;

Spirit wound up in each human coil;

the Orphic Egg of our potential.

~

This Gnostic spark of living flame,

is the id of the animal totem;

the Magic Bean grows into a Vine,

the "true Word" of our Christ divine.

~
Earthen id into watery libido flows,
libido inflates airy ideas aglow;
ideas self-reflect who I think I am,
playing a role in this world of time.
~

And so the one "Word" activates;

inside the mind ideas formulate;

this creative power shapes boundaries,

thought bubbles from the primal Sea.

~

The "God Mind" now becomes human,

Spirit of the id into ideas fallen;

ideation self-defines into an identity;

ego persona rises above collectivity.

~

The power of thinking is a revelation,

dominates life with its formulations;

inventing a rocket to the moon above;

molding id energy from lust into love.

~

But one more great leap is required,

to bloom the Word from Vine to Flower;

Thanatos, love's partner in operation,

the energy of death and destruction.

~

Watery libido from the id reservoir,

Word of creation explained thus far;

turns wrathful to transcend this world,

to inflate the Soul, eternal healed.

~

Mortido, power of the via negativa,

fills the Halo with fiery pneuma;

Spirit of the Word as the Holy Ghost,

puts on a "New Skin," no longer lost.

~

This baptism of fire cleanses,

deflates mental matter all discursive;

forges a memBrane that never ends;

thoughtless Bubble on high ascends.
~
Heaven heaves life's airy zephyr,
inflation by fire that lasts forever;
earth transformed into Light ashine,
water into the blood of Holy Wine.
~
Essence of ideas, Spirit clarified,
ousia, 'I' reflection polished sublime;
Thinker without thoughts residual,
Ideal Self, the undivided Individual.
~
One "Word" of the Pagan Logos,
visioned by the nous of Heraclitus;
the Mind of God reflecting "I Am",
Cloud Mandorla of the nameless Name.

"No one can think of God. 
Therefore it is my wish to leave 

everything that I can think of  

and choose for my love 

the thing that I cannot think."

(from, The Cloud of Unknowing,

14th century)

(part II)

Understanding One Word Only.

~

The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

(John 1:5)

~

Mortido's "death instinct" implodes!...

life's spirit gives-up the holy ghost;

the Black Sun devours my energy,

its blinding Light endarkens me.

~

And so now I need a trinity,

enLightenment is too bright to see;

enLovenment is blind as well,

I need a Seer to save my Soul.

~

My Observer, Grail, contains Love,

collapses the oscillating Wave;

into fluidity of intoxication,

upliftment of higher Energization.

~

Metallic Salt, Mind crystallization,

Moon becomes a Blood filled Crescent;

Luna gives birth to the Sun,

baptizing the Light of the Stone.

~

Now the One can See the One:

blinding Light, blind Love, Mind;

silver nitrate captures the Visage,

Salt fixes our Sulfur's Image.

"Mercury is the Spirit, Sulfur is the Soul, Salt the Body." (Paracelsus).
