Monstrum Under the Bed!

A Monstrum (German alchemical ms, c. 1600).

Alchemical transformation into refined Salt, Sulfur and Mercury.

~

Monstrum Under the Bed!

The stolen Fire between two kingdoms.
~

Having learnt four language modes,

it's time to unlearn and let go;

in order to undertake apotheosis,

resurrection by way of metamorphosis.

~

Four into one, two and three,

the Tria Prima of my destiny,

Salt, Mercury and Sulfurous gold,

quantum Solid of my Sol like Soul.

~

Salt, earth and water compounded,

lower instincts emotionally lifted;

baptizing the fallen "seed of Word,"

from animal kingdom into humanoid.

~

Id into libido of watery cleansing,

now bubbles-up into airy ideation;

Mercury of fluidity spreading wings,

emotion married with understanding.

~

Now the human must become divine,

Sulfur fixed into a higher kingdom;

airy ideas with fiery creativity,

compounded into eternal Solidity.

~
The fire element, stolen from the gods,
the secret flame in the ego-bridge,
destroys the human, creating Metals,
forging elements into Individuals.
~

The elemental ego is endarkened,

by the fire betwixt two kingdoms;

Agni is the envoy to the godly Sun,

Star in the heavens, a shining Stone.

~

My ego is thus deflated undone,

in order for elements to compound;

in Hades' underworld in Vulcan's forge,

conscious elements die to be reborn.

~

Black into "black blacker than black,"

animal to human by a god attacked!

Until my ego is abducted unlearned;

chthonic reptilian, man into Alien!

~

Thus the Dragon's animal spirit

fire forges its Pearl until uplifted;

a human is devoured then crowned,

digested by death into resurrection.

~
Such doubt, yet who is doubting?..
but my ego-bridge flickering out!
Suffocating, gasping for sensation;
behold, "the end of understanding."
~
Atheistic ideas are dark thoughts,
spells spelling ideational doubts,
that the ego uses to self identify,
an ironic trick to keep it alive.
~

Night has subsumed all of me,

into terrible darkness to be freed;

only the Metals can survive on high,

silvery Monstrum with gilded eyes.

~

Full with the blackness of spAce,

like a conscious death into my sins;

yet how do I see them so bright?...

forgiven in a pure internal Light!

~
And so the final test of Metals,
in this void of extinguishment;
the fire blows out, what to see,
now that the world is dead to me?
~

White Metal of our Salt refined;

Mercury quadratus into holy Wine;
Sulfur shining as golden Bread;
fleshed-out bones of a risen god!  

*

The Biscione Serpent. The innocent Christ Child is reborn from

a wise serpent, crowned forth into the higher kingdom of heaven.

~
The End of Understanding (from the Chaldean Oracles)
~
"Yea, there is That which is the End-of-understanding, 
That which thou must understand with Flower of Mind.
For should'st thou turn thy mind inwards on It, 
and understand It as understanding 'something,' 
thou shalt not understand It.
For there is a power of the primordial mind 
that shineth forth in all directions, 
flashing with rays of intelligence."
