REMEMBERING TO FORGET.

"I remembered the Pearl.
And in my royal robe of brilliant colours,
I arrayed myself, wholly."

(The Song of the Pearl, Acts of Thomas. 3rd century).

Remembering to Forget.

 Consciously Dreaming the SEED of GOD. 

~

Yesterday I remembered to forget,

my Mind was clear and omniscient.

But today I feel de-mented instead,

unable to think and all mystified.

~

Yet in essence they are the same,

in both cases I cannot understand:

- positive forgetfulness at peace,

- negative dementia, lost in space!

~

How to know the unknowable GOD,

dispell this con-fusion in my head;

and overstand the Book of Heaven,

fly into the "Cloud of Unknowing"? 

~

In order to sleep we must forget,

and let go of time and past regrets;

so too to know the invisible LORD,

I must forget life's libidinal world.

~

Lower thinking teaches us to learn,

to magic-up images in the brain;

we are Magi when earth is done,

conjuring fire burns to the bone!

~

The chthonic dragon forges a Grail,

to contain my Spirit and my Soul;

by digesting airy words aflame,

it unlearns my ego into who I AM.

~

Libido sublimates, Seed into Dust,

the Id returns covered in Holy Ash;

Salt extracts Blood from the Moon,

Myst of Living Water into Wine.

~

Flour proves the Dough in Mind,

expands into an ever-rising Sun;

Manna above is Salt, Wine, Bread,

Imago Dei of a resurrected god.

~

Metallic Ash can no-longer burn,

an empty Grail has nothing to learn;

extracting Wine out of the Myst,

intoxicated, I remember to forget!

~

Mind eats the MIND of Grammaton,

Canvas and colours of a Pantheon;

each God tells a mythic revelation, 

except for GOD, the Book of Heaven.

~

And three primary GODs there are:

- Hermes, God of Mind and ideas;

- Venus, Dew of Love, Moon's Blood;

- Logos, OverSoul of just one Word.

~

Thoth is the God of our thoughts,

we are scribes practicing to be gods;

when we're good at burning images,

the Feather of PenDragon  flies!

~

My innocent Seed blooms a Flower,

by photosynthesis in my Observer;

a new dye emerges from the Light:

indigo robes for a naked Sprite.

~

The Word Refracts Power of MIND,

by fiery apotheosis a god like Child!

GOD, Venus, Agni, Christ and Pan,

Neptune and finally the Sun of Man.

~

Now I see the SEED of the SEER,

the GrOunD of the Grand Observer.

After eight baptismal colorations,

a fire Pearl of Conscious Dreaming.

~

Spiritus of GOD's Creative Force,

returns as dragon's Myst and Ash;

into Salt, Wine, Bread of the Word,

the Cup eats Manna of the LORD.

~

GOD's SEED is now everywhere,

magical Food of the purple Flower!

Each Mind has a Crown to knowest,  

invisible Light of the Holy Ghost.

~

In order to forget I must first die,

face the dragon of death in the Sky;

the Serpent I once in terror fled,

into a rainbow Pearl remembered!
