Invisible FireWall of Death

The alchemical Salamander frolics

in elemental fire, and is not consumed.

~

"Be seekers of death. Death will teach you about being chosen."

(Jesus, the Secret Book of James, Nag Hammadi library.)

~

The Invisible FireWall of Death.

Forging the Key to the Pearly Gates.

~

Many have faced Love's Force,

and know her Kiss on Earth;

such is Death another Power,

a Black Rose we all must flower.

~

Death!.. my Holy Ghost of fire,

blackens my ego unto its desire;

a celibate priest raises Kundalini,

the flaming wings of my destiny.

~

I must perform my own baptism,

rebirth by death and resurrection;

"Be seekers of death," said Christ,

cross into Heaven by way of night.

~

Death is but a Wall of Flame,

built to guard the next Kingdom;

all are free to pass on through,

the Dragon at the Gates on high.

~

God placed this archetypal Force

to test our Metals at Eden's entrance;

metallic Salt, Mercury and Gold,

the Tria Prima of the Soul.

~

Lord Thanatos we all must face,

mighty Death, alchemy's furnace;

the gods are holographic Entities,

we have their likeness in our genes.

~

Like unto like doth recognize,

my Holy Ghost is akin to fire;

my animal Spirit of Salamander

passes through the flames unharmed.

Tria Prima: the three metalloid compounds of the higher Self.
