Apocalypse of the Golden Dawn

Apocalypse of the Golden Dawn.
~
Our thinking is a waking dream,

in which we sleep until the Dawn;
chthonic earth frees the dragon,
roars into a fiery revelation.
~
Airy ideation becomes creative,
imprinting the fire with images;
streaming the mythology of Agni,
envoy to the Sun of eternity.
~
Creativity turns destructive;
my ego wants to save its skin!
But the serpent-fire sheds itself,
black to white, Dove of innocence.
~
Spirit undergoes apotheosis,
the serpent's metamorphic process;
before mine eyes an apocalypse,
mortido, life into fiery death!
~
But the Dove remains the same,
flying through the rising flames;
born from the dragon's breath,
a winged Pearl heaven sent.
~
Spirit of the serpent reddens,
distilling out sublimated emotion;
symbolic death and resurrection,
water to Wine of celebration.
~
Refined Salt and mercurial Blood,
Earth and Moon transformed;
in Luna's chariot to the Sun,
apocalypse of the golden Dawn.

The Massa Confusa of the Prima Materia.

(part 2)

Parting the Red Sea.

A Final Miracle from the Alchemical Process.

~

Turn libidinal water into Sophic Wine,

airy and leaden thoughts to Gold ashine;

draw the sWord from the Mother Stone,

Prima Materia of chaotic potential honed.

~

Primordial Matter, the Rock at Bottom;

archetypal Mater of the dark Womb;

chthonic Dragon of fire and earth;

the sea turns red as she gives birth.

~

Egoic lexicon of four language modes,

disintegrates unlearned in the Mother-Lode;

the Massa Confusa of death and rebirth,

elements compounded, three Metals forged.

~

Darkness baptizes me into mortification,

the pregnant Matrix swells with expectation;

the Red Sea parts, Blood of the Moon;

the Word crowns forth with Solarization.

~

Consciousness rises from Earth and Luna,

metallic Salt, Mercury, Sulfur: Tria Prima;

apocalyptic reunification of the golden Dawn,

eternal Pearl of the winged Serpent-Sun.

~

Mater's unconscious Spirit of immanence,

erupts into the Soul of transcendence;

blind Love and clouds of blinding Light,

fill the Mind of the Observer's sight.

~

Libidinal lower-mind tension is released,

as stolen fire explodes from my head;

metamorphic celibacy of water into Wine;

kundalini raised from earth to Stone.

From the Ripley Scroll.

"The Red Sea. The Red Sol. The Red Elixir Vitae.
Red Stone. White Stone. Elixir Vitae. Luna in Crescent."

(part 3)

Utilizing Stolen Fire.

~

Instinctual earth contains three  Metals,

Mind, Spirit-Wine, and Sol like Soul;

emotionally charged thinking of the ego,

builds a bridge from id to Imago.

~

Stolen fire, wielded by a human:

dries metallic Salt of a New Skin;

turns Mercury into the Moon's Blood;

forges Sulfur into a golden Sword.

~

Four elements of the Earth sublimated,

three transcendent Metals co-created;

apocalypse, revelation of the Dawn,

fire into Light of Solarization.
