Saurian Sunshine

The Alien Ouroboros

Prologue: Emerging in the fifties from the matrix of 

the collective unconscious, a new mythology and religion

spontaneously erupts into consciousness. Thousands of 

visions of divine chariots in the sky, abductions into 

transcendent space, and inspired messages received 

from a higher intelligence, announce the dawning of a 

new Gnosis. Has Mercury (Hermes), the winged messenger,

returned to gather-up his flock?   

Saurian Sunshine

(Alien Spirit of the Saurian Id)

~

Alien-Spirit fallen from the Heavens,

searches for the secret way home;

through the quantum wormhole entrance,

material immanence unto transcendence.

~

Oh how my Saurian-Spirit writhes,

to shed this old skin stuck in time;

with its fiery disintegration power,

the churning Ouroboros self-devours.

~

My Animal-totem must fire baptize,

through holy flame into Light realized;

Dragon-Id forges Crown of the Self,

alchemical distillation restores true health.

~

Green consciousness thus turns dark,

mouth of the wormhole seems to attack!

Sol Niger, Black Hole, Raven of Nigredo,

we all feel it pulling from down below.

~

Libido into Mortido, life and death,

flow and ebb of the Cosmic breath;

this spiration is the Spirit's motion,

the "Word" of pneuma in circulation.

~
Instinctual desire of the Freudian Id
turning unconsciously behind the scenes;
stuck in addiction, yearning to get high,
my hungry Ghost must sublimate sublime.
~

Who can tame it, go along for the ride,

unleash the Spirit of this Creature divine?

Pregnant with meaning, the Pearl inside,

what a relief when black turns white!

~

The calcined Dragon now has its Orb,

MoonStone of Albedo fire-forged;

so this is the purity of the virgin mind,

the prism where all colours recombine.

~

Alien scintilla into Light matured,

"seed of the Word" now remembered;

a final colour-change as white reddens,

"new wine" of alchemical Quintessence.

~

Holy blood needs a "new skin" sealed,

Rubedo into a golden Cup distilled;

the solarization of consciousness dawns,

a Star back into the Heavens reborn.
~
Serpent uncoils from subconsciousness,
to be a sol-like Soul, its burning wish;
from Saurian-Spirit through human being,
to the higher Self of an Alien greeting.
