Tamed Dragon Uplifts Shaman.

John Dee's alchemical symbol for the Monad, from Monas Hieroglyphica.

Fire transforms the 4 elements into the higher Mind of Earth refined (circle),

Point of the golden Sun, and Crescent of the blood Moon.

~

Co-creating Higher Mind 

with Fiery Intelligence.

~

Shamanic EmBodiment of the Wise

Serpent, Kundalini.

~

Prometheus, the "forethought" of God,

stole Heaven's fire from above;

gave it to man for salvation,

the "tongue of flame" we must learn.

~

I breathe-up libido of watery air,

which catches fire betwixt my ears;

earthen instincts of my chthonic spirit,

raised by uncoiling a wise serpent.

~

My inner beast of a thousand years,

roars as it unleashes heavenly fire;

my ego is gutted by my own pet;

as it devours, water and air sublimate.

~

Symbolic imaging uses stolen fire,

to create the eternal Tria Prima;

three higher Metals in the Matrix,

refined Salt, red Mercury, Sulfur fixed.

~

Egoic thinking uses water and air,

emotionally charged lower ideas;

formulated by libidinal inflation,

an act of ideational sublimation.

~

Now with fire we can transform,

into Ka, Egyptian "Image" reborn;

burning-up air, fire forges Mind,

by way of death and resurrection.

~

Mortido endarkens the elements,

as fire speaks its lexicon;

the language of intuition honed,

articulation of the Sophic Stone.

~

Into the void hermetically sealed,

the Alchemist conceives a Pearl;

entertains his dragon of kundalini,

raises libido into fiery energy.

~

Water into Wine fills the Grail,

earthen id becomes Bread of gold;

air burns into a pneumatic Nous;

 Salamander frolics in Burning Bush.

~

My Spirit sublimated from emotion.

Leaden id refined into a quantum Stone.

Wave and Point inside a New Skin;

my Observer, a WavIcle atoned.

~

All aflame in fiery intelligence;

my Seer observes in drunken bliss;

intoxicated on mercurial Quintessence,

the Mother for the Sun's radiance.

~

Cooked through to archetypal Bones,

then fleshed-out with who I AM;

fire destroys and creates at once,

paradox of Life in the Burning Bush.

~*~

Egyptian Ka, meaning "Image."

~

"The Father's Mind forth-bubbled, conceiving,
with His Will in all its Prime, Ideas that take upon
themselves all forms... Thoughts from the Paternal
Source that pluck unto their full the Flower of Fire at
height of sleepless Time."   Chaldean Oracles, 300BC.

~

The Shaman emerges from his journey through

the Underworld, reborn from a fiery Serpent wise.

~

(part 2)

Tamed Dragon Uplifts Shaman.

~

Fiery reptilian between my ears,

devours my thoughts into thin air;

raises libido into dragon's Blood,

forges earthen id into a golden god.

~

Spark of salamander underground,

unrefined salt must be baptized;

through my ego of water and wind,

conceives my Helmet of salvation.

~

Fire is encoded in animal instincts,

rises through two human elements;

water and air civilize the beast,

uncoiling the dragon from the earth.

~

We must learn the language of gods,

"tongue of flame" from Prometheus;

to know the lexicon of intuition,

conjure an Observer by co-creation.

~

Higher Mind hermetically sealed,

Shaman enters the Quetzalcoatl;

shape-shifting betwixt two worlds,

into the realm of gods disgorged.

~

By facing death and resurrection,

he rides a wave of sublimation;

water into Wine fills the Grail,

fire into Bread gilds the Pearl.

~

By way of hallucination entranced,

Burning Bush of blazing intelligence;

where we return by apotheosis,

into drunken gods made conscious.
