raw

Darkness is the blood vessel of the soul 
We are not beauty 
We are masks 
Floating in a sewer of consciousness  
Ugly, and eternal 
The new bible will come 
Between incense and bullets 
Cutting rapidly 
Through the age of schizophrenia . 
For all this I declare  
By blackest sun  
To all living things . 
In the aeons to come 
That I am the specimen of the golden age 
I am the future  
And I am coming

ABNORMAL ANGELS HOVERING ABOVE THE TOMB ENGRAVED AS "SOUL OF THE AGE"

....and all that's really left is to realize that we are paying for choices made for us, and it grieves us to acknowledge that we are not allowed to be ourselves but instead we are presented by these two pre-ordered choices. we can either linger about as ghost monuments of things that will never come to be, or marvel in our own existence such as it is, yet not as our selves but as the spirit of the age we live in, therefore becoming both seperate and united with this energy. this fiend of Now, this strange God and the voice in our heads. Such a realization could span the becoming of the next era of creativity that would play on for the next 1000 years. The heavier the history, the heavier the curse. 

THE EYE ALTERING, ALTERETH ALL

If we would consider Blake's concept of the function of the poet in relation to that of the prophet, we would be able to make a subtle but importan differentiation. Blake's Poetic Genius, as equated with God, carries with it a sense of indentification with the unconscious or some aspect of it. He does not admit the possibility of confrontation by the conscious, thinking side of man. The poet's symbolic language is largely the language of projection upon an object. It appears as uncriticized datum of subjective experience. Only later is it recognized for what it is by the prophet, who is able to apply the insight to a living situation. The task of the prophet, then, is to withdraw the projections of the poet, and to see beyond the poet's symbol into its intrinsic meaning.

Jung comments on the psychological implications of this process, from his own point of view. He says that projections can be withdrawn only when they come within the scope of the conciousness. That is, first they have to be objectified - the poet must compose the poem. Without that nothing can be corrected. In parallel terms, the limitation of the poet was also that of the alchemist. Jung tells us that the adept, Gerjard Dorn was unable to recognize what for us is clearly a projection of psychic contents into chemical substances. Evidently his understanding in this respect still moved within the confines of the contemporary consciousness, even though in the other respects it plumbed greater depths than idd the collective consciousness of that age. Thus it is that the psychic sphere representing the body appeared to the alchemist to be identical with the chemical preparation in the retort. And correspondingly the firm persuasion of the poet appears to Blake to be identical with the "truth".

For both poet and alchemist there is not a dualism, but an identity. But for Jung, who stands on the side of the man who is once removed from the projection as a result of his insight there is an apparent dualism. Truth and the chemical process or truth and the firm persuasion are incommensurables that cannot be reconciled. Today, owing to our increasing knowledge of physiology we are able to differentiate neuro-factos in behavior. And likewise owing to our knowledge of the creative process, we are able to distinguish imagination from scientific objectivity. When an increase in conciousness enables us to withdraw our projections, we may be said to take the prophetic (insightful) rather than the poetic (imaginative) view of reality.

"Prophets, in the modern scense of the word have never existed. Jonah was no prophet; for his prophecy of Nineveh failed. Every honest man is a Prophet. He utters his opinion of both provate and public matters. Thus: If you go on So, the result is So. He never says such a thing shall happen let you do what you will. A Prophet is a Seer, not an Arbitrary Dictator. Every genius, every hero, is a prophet". W.B.

DELIRIUM POETRY

The gods of Olympus are cleaning the windows in a corporate building as we speak.  The soul of the land is being crucified upside down to be later reborn in the image of the great old ones. the literal, great old ones. It's like the snake bit its tail, formed a circle, and just threw it back out in a violent vomiting gasp for air. You shall not swallow. Indeed.
Really exciting times...

Altars and Faces

 Systematic Antinomian thought is the first step towards separating the self from the natural flow. When the altar faces east, the Self reaches out for harmony. Invert this direction, and you reach out to Immortality.

"The legend of Lucifer has no biblical basis. The ancient Hebrews knew of no devil whatever. Satan in the Old Testament is no devil in the accepted meaning of the word. He was originally not an adversary but an adjutant of the Almighty. Satan was a member of the celestial court of Jehovah. He belonged to the assembly of the sons of God, but sat on the opposition bench. He was a sort of prosecutng attorney attached to the judgement seat of the Eternal."
