The Magic of IHVH-ADNI

I wrote this poem, inspired by my experiences with The Magic of IHVH-ADNI ( www.tmo-wg.net ) in May of 2006.

----------------------

ANI
In the temple a figure stands.
He is empty. Empty hands. Empty mind.
And from this emptiness comes forth a power word.
His spirit surges up!
Up to the highest heavens,
a falcon soaring far above the mists.
Past the cloudy layers of earth and higher still,
a climb into Infinity.

Breaking free of the atmosphere the flight continues,
arrow-like towards the burning Sun.
As the glaring orb increases,
so does the momentum of one-pointed Will;

The creature dives into the solar centre and is transformed!
A phoenix is born within the yellow-white heat of the athenor.
The glorious bird spreads its golden wings
and looks back to the earthly mote below.

Free from the chains of form, unleashed and unbounded,
it bursts forth out of its stellar egg into the blackness of space.
Naught does he perceive at first, ‘cept for the inky black expanse.
Even the golden phoenix-form is dissolved
in this state of no-Being and all-Being.

In time a flicker of inner light allows for a glimpse of a rock
on which are rooted his feet.
A fragment of a greater world; drifting through eternity –
a silent monolith sending ripples through space and time.

And there he stands, arms outstretched,
his cross-like figure symbolic of his journey’s start.
Oh, how tranquil and still!
In the pitch darkness he sees all.

And then a distant tug,
an age-old memory stirs and reawakens the goal.
He must ascend still further,
beyond this all-expansive night is the light of days.

With a mighty gathering of strength and Will,
he releases the planetoid and explodes
into a world of numberless particles of light.
Galaxyless stars surround him, radiating their Divine Essence.
His figure dissolves along with any remaining sense of Self.
He is All and All is He.

Consciousness spreads throughout Existence
as the stars expand and merge and All is One!
A sublime field of Light is All there is
and All there ever was.
Limitless wonder. Source of all Being.
How can words describe the indescribable?
Peace at last! Perfection! Eternal rest and wholeness!
Yet from the sphere of suffering and of pain below,
a voice calls forth;
a plea for mercy from imprisoned souls.
And as soon as it is heard,
the Unity is split once more and falls back
through ever denser veils towards the concrete figure
whose mind and soul and body did utter that initiatory word:
ANI.

IHVH
And so his consciousness does descend.
From the Crown of all Creation
to the sphere of all-pervasive Wisdom
he falls.
And throughout this transition which takes no time and all time,
A sound reverberates: YOD.
The Infinite Light contracts, constricting and splitting
under its own Will;
A universal implosion of incomparable scope and energy.
Out of this Titanic friction are born
countless trillions of radiant fragments of Light;
Separate yet whole.
A finely balanced world of potential and realization.
The Divine exhalation,
a sweet breath carrying him further into form.

Another tone comes forth: HEH.
And with it the density increases and the oscillations slow
as Light gives light to the dark womb of the Great Mother!
Again that all-encompassing world of blackness;
yet now more acutely sensed.
A limitless network of stars inhabit this realm.
Objects in space.
Manifested from the great unmanifest.
Each one burning with fierce independence,
but still a cog in the cosmic mechanism.
How great the sight!
Far off the rumblings of a new word are beginning to be heard
And one star is singled out.
The word issues forth and his consciousness is pulled
into the Golden Sun. VAV.

He basks in the awe of the golden rays surrounding him
And penetrating each and every fibre of his Being.
He has been given Light so that he may shine forth
of his own accord.
Translucent he stands, spilling out his Light in utter ecstasy!
And from this sunlit pivot of his very essence –
the sweeping obsidian field above him,
punctured by blazing points of individuality –
below him the at once dense and dream-like
actings-out of prosaic existence -
from this vantage point he directs the Soul’s essential purpose
and smiles, unperturbed by the pettiness of men.
Touched not by the greatest success nor by the gravest of failings.
The Divine Plan will work out; years or lifetimes,
little is the difference to the end result!

HEH! And through the final veil he falls –
down to the world of his mundane awareness.
A homely humdrum of perceived solidity
and solidified perceptions.
His awareness here rests awhile; the calm before the storm.

ADNI
An in-breath and all five levels of consciousness unite.
What once were separate and distinct
now merge to form once more a whole.
And there never were divisions nor divides –
how the mind loves to play this trick -
deceptive imp!
All of Existence is one within him and the sublime storm erupts!
How glorious art those waves of rainbow light,
sweeping outwards to fill every point from Kether to Malkuth.
A multi-coloured cyclone of consciousness envelops him.
Spinning, growing.
Divine Light refracted off droplets of water,
suspended in misty air and grounded in earthly sod.
A resplendent rainbow;
Nature’s expression of the balance of the elements.
Divine Providence’s signature across the landscape
and within him.

He inhales, pulling the rainbow light within his very form. Grounded.
The tension mounts within his figure,
anticipating the explosive surge.
He focuses his intent; impressing his purpose upon the light –
Fixed and realised.
A moment of stillness and rest.

RBVNV ShL OVLM
Just a moment, before the almighty release!
Super nova-like, it rushes out in all directions
towards the very limits of the Universe.
He rides the crest of that magical swell,
gathering pace and force and power
until he reaches the edges of space;
the boundaries of creation,
wherein it receives a Divine Blessing.

And simultaneously he travels inwards;
an equally powerful implosion
drives him to again climb the
five-runged ladder of Awareness.

Weary after so long a journey - a journey like no other –
he stops
and composes himself for a brief instant
and takes a breath.

And his return journey is encased within a single inhalation.
He is drawn, and he draws himself back, into his corporeal form.
As he speeds back he amasses still more force
from the Universal Storehouse of Light.
The return wave strikes at the core of his body;
a bolt of lightening, buzzing with pure energy.
His entire being is irradiated from within.
His intention; blessed and augmented is now fortified by flesh.

How intense the urge to come to rest,
to complete the cycle and allow it to dissolve into the past
as he bathes in the bliss of the Eternal Now.

AMEN
And so the final exhalation.
A joyous breathing out!
The rainbow light flows free from his body
and surrounds him once more.

Circling, it solidifies in this realm of concrete substance
and its effects set to work.
All at once, he turns his mind away from this mystical odyssey
And resides in silence.

He is again empty. Empty hands. Empty mind.
AMEN!
