Shiva's dance of destruction

Dance of Destruction

~

There's an inherent "death-wish"

within the radiant Son,

linking him transcendently

to the Heavenly One.

~

The Anti-Christ's non-Self,

like the fiery god, Shiva,

whirls the void-like dance

of the "via negativa."

~

The Black Son implodes

into uncreated dissolution.

I'm cleansed into Space

through the Death Star's ablution.

~

Negating duality

with his shadowless Light,

he destroys the universe

into Oneness of Mind.

Just So! (a koan poem)

Just So! A Koan Poem.

~

Thinking is blasphemy.

Every word is air thin.

My No Mind is open,

the Gates are unhinged.

~

Beliefs belie the Word,

no-thing-ness is true.

The god that you seek

is now being you!

~

For who am I searching

by projecting Light?

An Imago Dei image

on the Canvas of Life.

*

Such is Death!

Invocation of Thanatos, and His Death Sacrament.
"Be seekers of death. Death will teach you about being chosen."
(Jesus, from The Secret Book of James)
~

Such is Death!

~

The Black Sun shines

like the Dragon's breath,

issuing forth rays of destructiveness.

Sol Niger endarkens my mind;

his catabolic gaze afire,

ashes to ashes expire.

The Anti-Christ, now risen,

negates this world undone;

Luciferic lucidity sees through to the bone.

Shivic consciousness ablaze

blackens and burns,

returns me to the grave.

But the Phoenix rises

like the new-born day;

life and death, in the end,

turn out to be the same:

the flow and ebb motion

of the same primordial Ocean.

Thanatos, lord of death,

there is no resurrection

without your wrath.

God, you are known

through your inBreath home:

your holy exSpiration

transports me to your Kingdom come.

Quintessence, the fifth quantum element

Picture source: Adam Mclean's Alchemy website.

QuintEssence

~

Heaven heaves:

~

The pneumatic wind

of spirit's air

descends from its

transcendent lair.

~

Into water life's breath

condenses down;

falling into

matter's ground.

~

Soaked with moisture

spirit animates earth;

we grow and toil,

life's lessons learn.

~

Earth decays,

dries out, and burns;

the element of fire

to dust returns.

~

Then from the four

a fifth distills;

with Christic wine

the cup is filled.

~

A drink of blood

in a new skin sealed;

by a mixed solution

my mind is healed.

"Functional Psychosis"

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."

The Alchemical Wedding of Sol and Moon (Solomon)

The Alchemical Wedding.

~

The round bread of Christ

rises up golden and sublime;

new wine in a new skin tight,

holy blood coagulates inside.

~

A shining stone issues forth

the elixir of eternal life;

the so-called Sophic Hydrolith:

the WaterStone of the wise.

~
The fracture in my psyche
receives the healing balm;
Serpent tincture poisons my ego,
but means my Soul no harm.
~
The light of Union,
that once leaked into time,
within the marriage sealed,
can no-more be refined.
~
A water-beast, with violent air,
and tongues of fire replete,
in a shining body divine,
fuses and transforms complete.
~
Out of con-fusion and diffusion,
the fallen light is gathered in;
the Serpent hood, crown, halo gold,
hermetically seals the spiralling.
~
Four spirits into One condensed;
a fifth quintessence intoxicates.
"Sun darkens, Moon turns to blood;"
in Fusion their solution coagulates.

Stoking the Dragon's Fire into Light

The Orphic Egg, from the Greek Pelasgian Myth:

"Eurynome, the Goddess of All things, rose naked from chaos... 

assumed the form of a Dove and laid the Universal Egg. 

At her bidding, the great serpent Ophion coiled seven times

 about this egg, until it hatched and split in two. Out tumbled all

things that exist, sun, moon, the earth with its living creatures".

~

Stoking the Dragon's Fire into Light

~

Now my kundalini is volatile stoked,

the Serpent-Fire is alive as I hoped;

oh how my Spirit writhes in desire,

burning for to reach higher and higher.

~

Where does my Dragon want to fly;

its flaming breath destroys my mind;

transforms me deeper in self-immolation;

if only I can bear this solarization.

~

Yes, the Serpent seeks for the Sun,

the Ouroboros churning in circulation;

holy circumambulations of the Soul,

Spirit of green-Dragon yearns to be gold.

~

So, this is the process of Solification,

the alchemical Stone forged of creation;

from Orphic Seed into Vine serpentine,

which then flowers forth the Light divine.

~

Philosophy can now be broken down:

love of-serpent-wisdom, Sophia renowned;

Ophion is the Snake revered by the ancients,

thus Jesus said, "be ye as wise as serpents".

~

Elemental female intuition goes back to Eve,

tempted by God's Snake in the Xmas Tree;

the Ophite Christians thus praised its power,

for it sheds its old skin becoming a Star.

~

The bliss and Light from fire baptised,

blooms into a new Mind, God realized;

the mysterious quantum-Stone ashine,

Pearl of the dragon, horns into Crown.

~

The Alchemist's Pet now in full roar,

animal Spirit of the Dragon of yore,

devours its own tail in self-copulation,

Id into Self, through sublime sublimation.
