The Vision



of Psyche

The Vision of Psyche, the various versions of, has appeared in different works over the years, works such as: The Birth of Psyche, Technos & Psyche, Advent (the poem “Song of the New Age”), and in the book manuscript The New Age Vision. Some suggestion of the Vision of Psyche can also be found in various other works; in fact, hints of it are found just about everywhere throughout my work. Through the Labyrinth, A Guided Astrological Meditation is based on the Vision, though Psyche is not named in it and nowhere in the meditation itself is it stated to be derived from this primary Vision. In the evolution of my life work, the Vision of Psyche is the Advent of the Word that is The Mythos. The MYTHOS, in fact, is the great work to come.

 

Given all that, I have come to realize that the Vision of Psyche has been buried all this time in all of these various works—if one is not familiar with any of them, then one is not fully aware of what my Vision is. This short work, The Vision of Psyche, readily and explicitly makes it available on its own. There is no searching for it among other works—here it is.

 

This version of the Vision of Psyche I expect will itself expand over time. Who would experience the Vision in this reading must surely realize that at every moment unfolds Threads of what is here only hinted at. My challenge to someone is this: Setting aside all stock, readymade abstractions, who might interpret my Vision by co-creatively dreaming it forward?

                                 This is no daydream fantasy

or imagination’s fantasy work of fiction;

it is not merely an interesting or striking image to have run by

        on your always of course busy schedule;

                this is no

                        a nice Vision to have,”

as those who have offhandedly said to me think—

No, it is not simply a nice Vision to hang on a keepsake ring,

it is a challenging, demanding, exacting, unrelenting Vision,

it is a Vision that overwhelmed & destroyed the Who-I-Once-Was—

My life has not been pleasant & easy for having received

        such a Vision,

but has been made ever more difficult.

This Vision is not meant to be merely nicely, poetically clothed,

however the Melody might at first seduce, but is in essence a Vision

        furious

to announce a New Age that would turn this sham, cheapened world

        upside down.

This is no throwaway image in a marketplace of images;

        it is revelatory

                               VISION—

 

Who now opens the pages of the poet’s testimony, 

do not tell me this Vision you will encounter is nice;

say rather it is overwhelmingly beautiful in its promising impact  

        for global transformation—

It is the Vision that soul in this life has always yearned for,

it is the Vision of New Life I live for.

                                              In childhood I remember

I was blinded because of my love for the Sun—

I would look up from play & I would gaze into the Sun;

it was as if radiantly it were a God to me.

                             And it was some years later then,

a youth I was coming slowly to the realization,

how it eventually came over me, that I was to give myself

        to the Sun—

                           A new Dream of the Ages

I had yet not the faintest idea of

was slowly preparing itself through me—

My life was to be a new Dream sent forth

        by the Sun.

Such was the nature of my secret life.

 

 

                                          I never realized how deep

the defining image of the mid-century had gone,

its monstrous visage of the bringer of death—

The Mushroom Cloud played over & over

        on our television screen—

I saw it pictured again & again in the magazines.

The Bomb was always coming for us & would find us,

the new hydrogen Bomb, so enormous its devastating power,

would promise one day, we were told, to annihilate us all.

The absolute danger for all life on Earth had gone

        to a place so deep inside of me,

                                                           I had no idea—

For I had glorified in my youthful vision a Futuristic City ,

I saw its towering glittering spires rise spectacularly into the sky

        under the Sun,

but come my university years I was to see that City destroyed,

exploded into millions of flying splinters, a horror of perdition,

a devastation so complete this Plutonian death I saw,

that I despaired of the purpose of my scientific studies,

        I had to turn from,

 

                                                                           but there,

above the ruins of the City—in this vision of mine—,

a sparrow hawk hovered in the sky (the sparrow hawk

        that was to become my familiar)

                                                                       there,

where the Sun was always the God I had known,

        I turned to,

                          even as I was blinded.

 

 

                                       Years later,

a Muse came to me & sang to me

of distant western waters...

 

 

 

        From afar, a Melody I heard...

 

 

 

                                                         At the cliffs of The Cruz,

Santa Cruz upon our most beautiful Bay of Monterey ,

near Lighthouse Point famous of West Cliff Drive ,

the appointed place was destined of Revelation—

To the left, I would see the distant peak of Loma Prieta ,

dark summit of the backbone ridges of the Santa Cruz Mountains ;

in the foreground, directly in view across the shallow of surf

        of Cowell Beach ,

the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk & Municipal Wharf ;

in the distance, looking across the bay southward,

the Santa Lucia Mountains were ghostly giants rising

        beyond Monterey ;

if it were nighttime, the strung beads of lights

would glimmer in the far distant dark of Monterey ,

going out to the peninsula point of Pacific Grove.

It was here I would take walks, whether day or night,

and meditate upon these changing of day to day bay waters,

here, at the edge of the western continent where we stand before

the great mother of Ocean, Her vast watery crystal of the Pacific,

where once I gave my life to those waters deeply holding

        their Vision.

                                        It was that time when

two of us from the Midwest

arrived in this new world that California was to me,

and a horrible soul wound I suffered shortly

from the utterly unexpected loss of her;

the love I was naïve to assume would always be there

        suddenly

                       was not there—

                                                             Half of me

had seemingly ripped itself away from me,

                               I felt a gaping hole where she had been—

Through the pain & tears, I gathered myself & hurled myself,

the Who-I-was, into those deep, receptive waters of the Bay;

I descended like the Sun into a death of self into the sea,

and one day it was—oh, two or so years later—

after various of earlier visionary intimations & dreams

—I saw the sparrow hawk of my youth dive into the sea—,

after a Melody that had always guided me

        I heard

                    sang from the Bay,

               came to me,

                                   was granted to me,

 

                                                            a VISION

 

                                                    One day,

a particular day that is lost in memory,

through my Eye I realized I saw, whether day or night,

as I walked along in my ponderings upon the cliffs

        of West Cliff Drive ,

                                         it would come to me:

 

                                           THE VISION—

 

                                                     I looked into the Bay,

it was at night I remember once, and I saw there

        this eerie glow,

a glowing I saw this churning & roiling of its waters,

        out in the Bay,

                                out in the middle of the Bay—

                                                     And suddenly rising

from that mysteriously glowing, bubbling place

out in the dark waters of the Bay, a Fountain I saw,

        my Eye beheld,

rising, rising beautifully out of the Bay,

 

                                                       a Fountain,

 

a resplendent, up-rushing Fountain of illuminated Water,

a Living Fountain I saw there filled with Light;

a Fountain I saw composed of up-rushing, arching streams

        of subtle Fire & Water mixed,

a Fountain rising into the Air over Monterey Bay

Such a beautiful, such an uncanny & fiery-lit Fountain

        I saw!

 

                                                                        And there,

rising in the midst of the topmost up-rushing sprays,

amidst scintillating, shimmering veils that appeared

        out of Air,

                         a figure I saw!

A radiant Divine Figure I realized I saw—

Goddess of this place & of this coast, as I came to know Her,

I saw standing atop, as if in mid-air hovering there,

                                                  at the topmost of the Fountain,

showered in the glimmering of transparent, iridescent veils

        of emerald, sapphire, ruby, silver & gold,

a vibrant shimmer all about Her as if at one with Her

in the continuous up-rushing of the Fountain’s myriad sprays

that diamond scintillated like the Sun upon sea;

She hovered out of the midst of the topmost arching sprays

of this extraordinary Fountain born out of the deep before me.

She was sharing the Waters from the depths of the Fountain,

out of the depths of the Bay, through the up-rushing Waters

        of the Fountain itself,

She was sharing these Waters in the open Air above,

        under the open sky,

I saw Her as the supreme Revelation of the Fountain—

For She was not simply in the Fountain, but was as if

        at one with it,

                              for all was scintillating as one.

Divine Image of soul She was to become for me,

She hovered out of the Fountain as beautiful as was said

        of Aphrodite of old.

 

                          And the Eye of me

opened more & so I saw more:

I saw Her scintillating Form as if in a sort of fast frame motion

        continuously transforming:

She was not of one phenomenal form only, however She

        would at first appear,

                  but was of many forms, numerous forms—

Goddesses that were all guises of one Goddess I saw in Her.

And though the Divine Figure first appeared to me

        as an ever-changing Goddess,

                                                        She was in fact more—

She was a dynamically shapeshifting figure revealing multitudes

        of Divine Forms,

She was the Form of all the Divine Forms I saw,

for I saw Her as the Divine Androgyne, appearing as both

        Goddess and God—

                                      the Female & Male in-one of the Divine.

I saw Her then as Divine Shapeshifter—revealing all Divine Figures

as if emanations of the facets of one Formless Light,

        as if a Sun-embedded crystal of liquid one might behold.

Indeed, I saw Her as the Goddesses & Gods of all times & places,

in all the guises of their appearing to human experience & imagination,

She could reveal the Form of each Divinity,

                                                                      She could embody

as the particular Divine Power for a people, in a place,

        for that time—

She hovered in the mid-air of the Fountain before me,

        the Shapeshifter Divine—

                                           And each Power I saw She was

could further embody itself in human form,

for Her face revealed now the face after face, the numberless faces

        of those born of Earth—

Now I saw a continuously changing, whirling mosaic of persons

play out across the veils that shimmered as at one with Her,

        for all persons of all ages I saw She was:

The infant & child & youth that through Her Form grew;

the young men & women, the young & old mothers & fathers;

and the old, old elders & those breathing their last—

The passing, always changing, mortal form as myriad as the stars

        I saw.

                  And now stories, like moving pictures,

played out across those shimmering veils of Her protean Form:

Stories my mind’s Eye saw of all peoples of all times & places—

going back & further back, the stories of all global tribal peoples,  

of peoples of ancient city states, of empires, of civilizations rising

        & falling;

                        peoples of the modern nations, their stories,

& of a worldwide growing humanity numbering in the billions;

stories of emergence & flourishing, stories of disappearances;

stories played by the powerful of tyrants, despots, & rulers,

        of warrior heroes & their followers,

                                 of the enslaved & of the oppressed;

stories of the famous & obscure, of the wealthy & of the poor

        & of the outcast;

stories of the wise teachers, of builders & artists & thinkers;

stories of the great lovers & great adventurers;

stories of great friendships & great causes & of revolutions;

stories of secret societies & dark conspiracies, of Dark Ages

        & the flowering exuberances of Renaissance;

stories of the brilliant loners & always the legions of the untold faces

        of the faceless masses:

I saw the parade of all, I saw a history of our human Story

        play out in all

                              upon those shimmering veils—

The pageantry of the Great Story of evolving humanity

        I saw

                 upon those shimmering veils.

 

                                                               And the private

& collective sufferings of all who have embodied

        on this Earth

strummed through me such chords of sadness & compassion! 

As if I heard there a Melody, a Melody aching for an answer—

It was for an answer the Vision itself would one day

        in its fulfillment be!

 

                                        For I saw the human Story of us

as the Labyrinth of soul, and saw in its corridors

        such endless suffering—

Such suffering I saw, such grieving, such misery & agony

        in faces—

I saw untold misfortunes, untold tragedies, untold murder

        & mass genocide!

I saw the sick & diseased, the disabled & mangled;

I saw the justly & unjustly accused & saw the sentenced;

I saw the ruined & wasted & numberless regret-filled lives;

        & countless the victims I saw—

                                                  of disasters, of heinous crimes,

of wartime atrocity, of political oppression & regimes of madmen

        who murdered millions.

Millions upon millions who suffered & screamed I saw,

before sword & spear, before crucifixion & fires of Inquisition,

before the gun & cannon & rapid fire modern machinegun,

before the bombs dropped & missiles targeting

        & exploding;

                              and to witness the terror & torture,

the gas poison, the mass graves, of a World War Holocaust;

I saw those too who were vaporized & who vanished

        beneath the flash of the great Bomb.

Endless millions upon millions, forgotten throughout the Ages,

such a spectacle of human suffering I saw there

that my heart took the stab again & again to witness it all—

Too much, too much, too much had suffering taken place

on this tiny orb in the great, ceaselessly changing,

yet remaining ever the Same, the ever & ever,

        always-newly-revealing Universe.

Endless struggle, endless conflict, endless suffering!

        And always the questions,

                                       Why? And for what?

 

                               All of Earth's peoples I saw,

stretched in endless cinematic parade,

generation upon generation, from primeval past

to what future to come, for all persons upon Earth

flowed through this Vision of Her, as She flowed

as woven embodiment through all persons of Earth.

And She parted lips & She spoke, words that to this day

still echo in my Ear:

        I am Psyche of all peoples

        I am the soul complete

        My Thread of Gold

        the new World Fabric

 

                     And the Eye of me opened even more,

and even more was revealed—

All forms upon Earth I saw She was:  All the Earthborn

of all creatures: those creeping & running & swimming & flying;

creatures great & small, prodigal & rare, of past & present,

creatures of millions of species across the multi-millions of years

        of life on Earth

                                  She gave birth to;

and of all plant splendor across the Lands

and of the all-one-interconnecting of the even greater Ocean—

From giants among trees to microscopic plankton of the sea,

                                                                          Her Form gave birth;

She was the living Soul of Earth, giver of life to all Her oceans

        & rivers,

Her lush forests & jungles & wild plains & prairies, fields boundless

        of such bounty,

                                 Her orchards of all fruits;

and across deserts & trackless cold tundra Her presence also I saw;

and to even minerals & crystals, ores & pure metals Her Form

        gave birth;

and even the very gases of the atmosphere She moderated

        for all the life of Her;

               to all forms of Earth Her Form gave birth—

Psyche of all forms of Earth rose beautiful as the Fountain

        before me,

                       there, hovering beautifully

                                                                  in the Fountain.

 

                                                (In a dream of that time

I saw Psyche the Shapeshifter in brilliant color

changing before me moment to moment

—I saw stare back at me a moment the masked face

        of the falcon—my sparrow hawk—,

                                its eyes looking into my eyes.)

 

 

                                                                   And in my Vision,

Psyche’s arms—multiple arms She would often display—

I saw She opened in a gesture of compassion,

        like a Divine Mother.

In this Vision I saw was the promise of redemption,

a new hope for all peoples & creatures, for Earth itself,

no matter what our uncertain, near future would bring—

What harrowing changes would certainly still come!

But the trials, the struggles, of mortal evolution

        would not be in vain!

 

        This is my return, She sang,

        Divinity of soul I am—

        Soul of Earth I am,

        & of all that is living

        upon Earth.

 

 

Out of this Bay, birthplace of Psyche’s manifestation,

at this, the dawning of the New Age of Her liberation

after centuries of soul repressed, ignored, forgotten,

reduced by the Modern to nothing more

        than a word abstraction,

 

         She rose

 

                rose beautiful

 

                       She rose beautiful over the Bay

 

          She rose as beautiful as Aphrodite of old.

 

                                                               And I was witness:

At the top of the up-rushing Living Fountain She was

        of the radiance of gold,

and She held Her hands with palms outward,

and out of the palms of Her hands sprang seeds of Light,

seeds of Light that streamed outward, going into the world,

streams of the Light of individuals—Lightworkers—working

        their Light into the world;

streams of all the future illuminations that would guide me

        upon my path;

and from her mouth a Golden Word—The MYTHOS—She spoke,

and like a Melody drawn forth, the Word drew itself forth

        & circled around Her,

                                         a spiralling Golden Thread it was;

and I saw that She was continuously woven & rewoven

        by the Thread She was;

and this Thread She was also went forth into the world,

a Golden Thread composing a revitalized living language

that would tell of all the stories I saw, and would weave them,

and in so doing transform them, throughout Her Form

        that births all forms upon Earth—

The Golden Thread wove itself into the Fabric of the world,

and in so doing, transformed the Fabric of the world.

 

Then I saw the Fountain before me amazingly as a Tree,

a Tree whose every leaf scintillated brilliantly,

& from this myriad-glinting-leafed of an illuminated Tree

        flowed the enchantment of a Melody—

It was the Melody I had heard so many years before,

as far back as I could remember, into my youth,

        so many years & years before.

Psyche Divine was a singing Tree upon the Waters,

        a radiant, living Tree of Song—

It was a Song of Her transformative Divine Love

        for this Earth,

a Song of a new World Fabric to be woven

        across this Earth,

                                    as a New Earth.

 

                                                                        Psyche!

revealing the multi-facets of all faces of Divinity,

I saw as the Divine Integrator of all faiths, all Paths,

of all the teachings of the world Traditions—

All peoples I saw participated in the Divine Body

        of Psyche.

 

                                And as I looked into this Fountain,

into its depths from out the Bay,

there, deep, deep within it, going deep into this deepest of bays,

        there I beheld

                                the Sun—

The Sun, the thermonuclear Sun, held its secret

in the deep heart of the Fountain!

 

                                                      And Psyche,

the Divine Figure of the Fountain I beheld,

now merged Herself once again with the Fountain,

as She was at one with the Fountain;

and into Itself, the Fountain rushed & rushed inward

        & withdrew,

a central Flame gathering Itself into Itself,

        rushing downward,

descending beneath the shimmering surface of the Bay,

returning Itself to the Sun, there, deep within the Bay—

The Waters of the Fountain merged again

with the Pacific waters of our beautiful

        Bay of Monterey .

 

                             And I came to realize

that here, given to me in Vision,

was the new Water Bearer spoken of

        of the Ages.

                And this Vision She was

was a Seed—

        I am the Seed you must plant

                in the heart,

        you must nurture in the heart,

She said, She said.

 

                             And soon, as I witnessed

the Fountain of the Bay again & again,

as She appeared out of the Fountain,

She was to reveal more—

        This Seed in your heart

                       now planted,

        I am this Seed

        I am the Tree

        I am the Song of the glory

                           of this Earth

        I am the New Life

 

 

Little did I know then that this would be the answer

        to the lifelong suffering of my soul—

Little did I know then until in recent years that this was 

the saving power transformed of the image of the greatest danger

        perpetually haunting us

                                              of my generation—

Since childhood that image had imprinted itself in me,

the very real image of the Mushroom Cloud prophesizing

        our annihilation.

 

 

                                         And in the period

of the lost, obscure years of my life,

as I was finding my difficult way through the Labyrinth,

I came to channel various lessons of Psyche,

        as She revealed them to me,

I wrote these lessons down as they came to me,

transcribing what I heard, as I was able,

        into poems,

                             and through these dark, Plutonian,

labyrinthine-descending, self-eclipsed years

when I apprenticed myself nightly to the Moon,

        the ever-changing,

                 I developed a relationship

                                                            with Psyche—

Psyche, through Her various guises—as the astrological

        Planetary Powers so often She would appear—,

would come to me & guide me down the various corridors

        of deepening soul.

 

 

                                    It was in the Labyrinth

that I came to see this life of ours was

would come moments I would come upon

& encounter once again

                                        the Fountain—

A singing Fountain suddenly would spring forth

        in front of me,

& Psyche would be hovering in its up-rushing sprays,

& Psyche would say,

        Come, taste of the Waters of the Fountain,

        cup your hand & taste & realize

        this is what you’ve always yearned for—

        These are the Waters of Memory.

 

 

                        One sip of divine Water,

                                one taste,

                        and you want nothing less

                        than taste after taste after taste.

 

 

                                      And so I would approach the Fountain,

reach down with cupped hand, I tasted of these Waters,

and I realized that this is what I had always yearned for,

for these were indeed the Living Waters of Memory,

which are the Living Waters of Spirit in the act of manifesting

        in our world.

I remembered that all these years I was on an ongoing

        journey

                       the journey to Memory.

 

 And Psyche would then say,

        Come, enter the Fountain—

        Come, strip away your past, your limitations,

                your conditioning,

        strip away your fear & your shame—

        Do not be afraid.

        Come, step into these Waters,

        and join me, in the Fountain.

 

                                                        And I would

with some trepidation step into the Fountain

& immediately be swept up into the geyser rush of its flow—

Imagine the exhilaration, the continuous intensity,

the rushing sound of Water through the ears!

There, I would hover, mid-air, in this rush of illumination,

& Psyche, next to me, would teach me while hovering in this flow,

She would teach me of the planetary energies coming in 

        beyond my Ego—

They are known as the Powers of Uranus, Neptune,

        & Pluto.

                                                     As the Waters

from beneath the surface of the Fountain

were drawn up into its up-rushing flow,

Psyche would say,

        All that is hidden is to be revealed.

        All that has been repressed, ignored, forgotten,

        all that has been covered up, kept secret

        in conspiracies of worldly power,

                will be revealed.

        Who opens to me will come to see

                eventually

        all revealed

                          in the Light.

 

                       And Psyche said to me,

        Once you have found me,

        do not let go of me—

        I am the Rock

        in the storms to come.

        I am the Diamond

        in today’s world of confusion.

 

 

So I came to enter the Fountain again & again,

and over time I realized that this was the Fountain

        of Unlimited Creativity—

                                       For at the heart of the Fountain,

always almost too much to gaze upon,

radiated the inexhaustible Sun, our life-giving, superabundant Sun—

To enter the Fountain & to stand in the up-rushing continuous flow

        of Water laced with the intensity

                                                            of Fire—

This was the continuous flow of creation,

the continuous wanting to come of the Invisible into the world.

To hover in the mid-air of the Fountain—imagine, that one

could live in a perpetual flow of inspiration, of meteoric intuition,

        of the thermonuclear pressure

                                                        into manifestation—

This was the continuous creative flow expressive

of the New Self born of the super-creative potential that is Soul.

All limitations of form, of materiality, of physicality, someday

        the possibility

                              that they would be limitations no more;

all conditioning, assumption, doctrine, mere secondhand belief,

        knowledge gone stale,

                  burned away to make new a direct seeing

                            & a direct knowing.

Soul was liberated in the Fountain to realize itself as Psyche,

        Spirit come-to-us anew.

And I came to realize that Psyche was the Living Image

of the Living Divinity of my own Higher Self.

No longer the questionable Old Father God

        who now provokes our suspicions,

no longer God abstract & infinitely remote,

but the Living Divinity of Higher Self

        was to me

                        revealed

 

 

                                           And so much Psyche revealed!

The coming of civilization-transformative contact

with Other Intelligence that already had been occurring

surreptitiously, episodically, in worldwide undeniable

        multitudes of sightings & visitations,

                                                 She gave me insights into.

And in the other-dimensional worlds of the astral-psychic

out of which so many invisibles were making themselves

        apparent to us,

Psyche, manifesting from an even higher place,

        through that realm

                                      would, I saw,

                 be our guidance among them

                                                                in that realm—

                            This was the Next Level

breaking through into our world,

the universal mind field where other Intelligences

        already long ago were the adepts of,  

                    & some among them there were

who would encourage us & welcome us

in our evolutionary rite of passage 

        that Psyche to me

                                    spoke of.

 

                             Psyche would say,

        You must prepare

        for the different encounters,

        prepare for a greater & greater encounter—

        For the form

                            I may take

 

        how I may come in apparent physical

 

                               manifestation

 

                                                           Prepare yourself.

        I am your guide to the bewildering complexity

        of the multidimensions.

 

 I saw Psyche then as The MYTHOS of futurity—

 

                                                   And Psyche said,

        I will teach you of Divine Androgyny,

        I will reveal the multidimensionality

                of your Higher Self,

        and how you can manifest as many-in-one—

        There will come a day when you too will learn

                how to shape shift.

        I tell you, there is coming such a day.

        As I am, you are the potential to be—

        We will merge fully someday.

 

                            And Psyche said,

        Do you see, poet,

        that once you have discovered me,

        once you have bonded to me,

        and a relationship we have developed,

        any direction into human reality you can go

        and I will be there with you as your illumination.

        Knowing me, all realms that human reality opens to

                open to you.

        I am your Guide to lead you through the Labyrinth.

 

 

                                                               Through Psyche’s Vision,

as I was shown, I saw advancing upon us from Silicon Valley

from over the summit of the Santa Cruz Mountains

a new, ominous figure huge appear—

                                                      The new superpower of us,

the modern-born, worldly God Psyche named for me

        Technos

                      in a Vision I saw,

I saw It rising into the sky atop Loma Prieta,

its monstrous mile-high android figure looming over us.

I witnessed in those years the initial encounters between them,

here, on the cliffs of The Cruz on the Bay of Monterey ,

the encounters between the new God of technology

        & Divinity of soul—

                                                                    Technos,

a commanding presence upon Loma Prieta had,

was challenged by Psyche rising in Her Fountain

        over the Bay,

                             for Psyche was coming among us

to challenge the superpower rule of Technos;

I wrote of these encounters as I witnessed them,

        the Story begun

                                   of Technos & Psyche,

of their conflict & of their struggle,

Psyche revealing to me the global intention of Technos,

to dominate & rule the world, the obsession of will

        to absolute power

                that would potentially enslave

                                                              or destroy us all.

It was Psyche’s prophecy, however, & Psyche’s struggle,

that their ultimate, needful integration would someday be

        the essence

of the Aquarian New Age dispensation.

I saw Psyche as The MYTHOS of new Revelation.

 

        Psyche!

You are Illumination that BEING Itself fountains forth!

 

In the Fountain I would witness the Threads

of the streams of illuminated Water all around me,

which were the Threads woven of the World Fabric.

Threads! Threads! Threads! Threads upon Threads,

layered & textured, continuously weaving themselves,

interconnecting, interpenetrating, manifesting into the Visible

        as veils upon veils,

                   as the great Veil manifesting,

                                     the great Maya of human reality.

Psyche would point out to me the streaming Threads,

and as I focused & as I looked hard, I saw them

as streaming specificities of an originary language,

        but how fast they streamed by—

For the human mind I saw them as Threads of a possible telling,

but streaming, streaming by so quickly, so quickly

        they streamed by,

that my mental hands could not grasp them,

for they were as water flowing through my fingers.

 

                                                             Said Psyche,

        Can you grasp a Thread, can you hold it?

                You cannot.

        But can you slow it down just enough

        & begin to read the words they would be composed of?

        What language is this, poet?

        Such is the ability of the Gods, who can read

        the omnidirectional Threads of the continuous moments

                of creation.

        It is the Golden Thread that is woven illumination,

        Melody & Vision of an Ear & Eye able to co-create

        at a vibration the Threads themselves manifest at—

        To unweave & reweave the World Fabric

                with the Golden Thread—

        Poet, that is your Calling, & that is your Path.

 

                           And Psyche revealed Herself,

        I am the Golden Thread,

        & I will teach you to spin the Thread

        of what is entering the world.

        For I am entering the world.

        I am entering the Fabric.

 

 

                      And Psyche said,

 

        Tree of New Life I am

 

                                          you sing
