The Breath of Life

Id, Latin "it", the instincts and energy in the unconscious

mind that underlie all psychological impulses. 

The Breath of Life

the mind magic of conjuring-up ourselves.

~

This entire world is an inflation,

of id-energy, a pneumatic creation;

we ourselves conjure-up our beliefs,

and the stories that fulfill our needs.

~

Ideas catch our imagination on fire,

libido inflates, thought bubbles inSpire;

into airy notions and conceptions,

learning to shape our daily prospects.

~

Thus we co-create our story line,

inflation and deflation of the mind;

life's ups and downs of experience,

the Spirit's process of immanence.

~

From water in the latent id reservoir,

libido activates, animating who we are;

we follow its flow into many desires,

as it tells our truths and also lies.

~

It self-defines our egoic identity,

the "thinker" molded by thoughts indeed;

but a higher Self is yet to be born,

inSpiration of the Philosopher's Stone.

~

The "old skin" must suffer deflation,

into mortido, energy of destruction;

divine Wind, Kamikaze, death's blow,

holds the secret of an eternal glow?

~

Holy Ghost, Shiva, our lord Thanatos,

the gods of Death, but also rebirth;

re-forge the fiery Breath of Pneuma,

inflating a "New Skin" with their power.

~

The "seed of the Word" earth fallen,

human coil of id-energy's motion;

rises and sublimates vine to Flower,

the ideal Soul, to endure forever.
