Risen Bread of the PhiloSophic Stone.

The Holy Spirit (Dove) descends into earthen immanence as the chthonic dragon,

and returns to Heaven by forging the Blood~Moon (Mercury) and Sun (Sulfur).

"I AM DARK AND BRIGHT; 
I SPRING FROM THE EARTH AND I COME OUT OF HEAVEN.
 I AM WELL KNOWN AND YET A MERE NOTHING.
 ALL COLOURS SHINE IN ME 

AND ALL METALS BY THE BEAMS OF THE SUN.
 I AM THE CARBUNCLE OF THE SUN." 

(THOMAS VAUGHAN, COELUM TERRAE, 1650).  

Risen Bread of the PhiloSophic Stone.

~*~

Oph or Ophis: Greek "snake" (origin: Apep or Apophis, Egyptian serpent.)

The gnostic Ophites worshipped the serpent in the Garden of Eden.

~

We digest Mater's matter of objectivity,

chaotic ocean into order of a parted Sea;

darkness into Light and its coloration,

subjective consciousness of water to Wine.

~

Prima Materia stuck in material lies,

fear of death and the need to survive;

energy cannot die, only change its mind,

so the law of thermodynamics explains.

~

Fiery atomization into electrical Light,

by ordering the chaos of libido's spark;

gnostic scintilla into baptismal fire,

baking the living Bread of eternal Life.

~

Primal Matter of the fallen Sophia,

the Ophite goddess seeking Tria Prima;

stolen fire returns by way of apotheosis,

elements forged into Mind, Blood and Flesh.

~

Quantum Observer in unconscious ocean,

parting the Wave, water into a Libation;

collapsing a leavened PhiloSophic Stone,

double-slit vision of an apocalyptic Dawn.  

~

Theosis of a god, dreaming Awake!

Fallen Lucifer is the Bearer of Light.

Alchemical Metal-morphosing ouroboros,

magical dragon in my Mind sublimates.

~

How to live forever is the question?

Eat the Word, our Bread of Salvation;

meditate an abhorrent Vacuum for Wine;

digest one immaculate Concept divine!

~*~

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.

"I am the living Bread that came down from heaven.

 Whoever eats this Bread will live forever." John 6:51
