"Functional Psychosis"


Image result for manly palmer hall collection of alchemical manuscripts

Sublimation, from The Crowning of Nature, 1718.
My interpretation: the Sun of Light emerges from
the fire of ouroboric transformation, the serpent-fire 
of kundalini, sublimed into the Solarization of consciousness 
(alchemical Solification) in the vacuum of the sealed mind.

"Functional Psychosis."
Fiery Breath of a Pneumatic Soul.
~
I look for the Ideal idea,
a thought-bubble to appear;
to grasp the One beyond belief,
my ego refusing to sacrifice.
~
For the One subsumes my all,
Pan devoured into golden Soul;
instinct into intuition aflame,
then fire into Light ashine.
~
And so I must now let go,
cease the chatter of my ego;
to live in catatonic psychosis,
the Imago beyond  metamorphosis.
~
Elements "pull together" a Self,
compounding into a risen Christ;
in noble silence of emptiness,
our Buddha Nature manifests.
~
 Ideation dissolves into the void,
Hermes' hermetic vacuum employed;
secret fire consumes all ideas,
airy thinking between the ears.
~
Thus, fire and air compounded,
sublimate into Sulfur fixed;
the golden Light of the Dawn,
metallic Imago of Self reborn.
~
By stoking the libidinal fire,
Kundalini rises-up on high;
into the mind meeting air,
fiery breath of a pneumatic Seer.
~
I suffocate in baptismal Light,
as the higher Self triangulates;
the trinity of the Tria Prima,
so Self can see itSelf forever.

Happy to Burn. My Self portrait. 
Meditation and self immolation
in baptismal fire.

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."
