The Fool's Journey to Wisdom.

 
The Fool from the Thoth tarot deck.
"The outer darkness is a great dragon." Jesus, Pistis Sophia.

The Fool's Journey to Wisdom.
~
I am the Fool in need of Wisdom,
the Id or Idiot following my Dream;
Percival searching for the Holy Grail,
zero triumphs over 4 suits elemental.
~
Earthen instincts, dog, Green Man,
the Id dyed to experience the Plan:
archetypal patterns in the Arcana,
developing an Image to hold Manna.
~
Metallic coins dug-up from ground,
each with a Portrait to be defined;
lead to Goldhorns into a Crown,
Barleycorn dies, Soul Drink to find.
~
Cups of emotion, swords of the air,
water to Wine, ideas become Aware;
wands of fire conjure Light divine,
Blood and Flesh inside a New Skin.
~
By way of projection onto the world,
integrating 21 Faces of the LORD;
sublimating earth to forge my god,
Grail for alchemical Dew and Bread.
~
So find the Wizard to dispell words,
frozen, with fire in the Underworld;
the Empress of Isis, to be unveiled,
Prima Materia into Spirit diStilled.
~
The Fool, trips into the Netherworld,
encounters Vulcan and a dragon old.
 Black Madonna has devoured us all,
to find the Wisdom in Sophia's fall.
~
The matter ends, Manna contained,
Wine no-longer spills into projection;
sublimation into de-objectification,
the Sun shines in my Mind in MIND.

Percival. Alberto Otero Herranz.

John Barleycorn was a hero bold,
Of noble enterprise;
For if you do but taste his blood,
'Twill make your courage rise.

(Robert Burns, 1782).


Portal of Nowness.
GOD'S WorLd in the World.
~
Ash and Dust is all I have left,
my empty Grail in the World bereft!
Intolerable and timeless Nowness,
de-materialized matter of Emptiness!
~
Observer observes his situation,
the quantum Double~Slit is open!
Who can bear this unbearable Silence?
Word hidden in the World's Essence.
~
For GOD is the GROUND of ground,
behind ego and instincts to be found!
In this WorLd but not of the World,
Love leavens Bread of one Word!
~*~


GOD COnsciousness.
Facing GOD's 13th Face of Death.
(a koan poem)
~
The No Way is open,
my No~Mind unhinged!
I hear the reSonation
of only ONE Thing.
~
"Once more unto the Breach",
the Portal always Here to reach;
into this Abyss of Nowness:
Death disSolves, Soul rebirths!
~
Silence, Death, pure Subjectivity:
Dust in my Ashen Face of Lucidity;
Myst diStills into Wine's Fluidity;
Flour and Logos for eternal Solidity.
~
Acted-out and forged into a Grail.
Dramatized and diStilled unto Wine.
Idealized, proved into Bread of one Word.
Mythologized and triple~crowned into a god
