Recconoiter

True to formula
Ripe for Divination
Speaking out of turn
Tell the Sattvas that phase transition has begun

Baptized in the cold morning frost
Primed for transcendence, aglow in the dark
Fate be my witness,
Thine path, thine purity, thine calling be of mine

Dreaming to focus
Coming into view of the mind's eye
Appearing as a geometric, crystalline mandala
Set inside a maze of esoteric frequencies
Replete with logos, eros, and ethos
Energized by the power of a thousand visionaries
Striking the senses as a periodic table of psychological elements
Exhibiting all the signs of renaissance
Resembling more that of a personal cosmology

Exiting now, to fulfill an ancient prophecy
Leaping off the beam, to relinquish control
To allow the faithful to take my place

Tell the grasshopper that the heavens have opened
That the overseers are pleased
That the Altar is complete
That Abraxas is singing

Creedo


It comes it goes, in ebb and flow
As it enriches, infuses, and restores
Lurking in every nook and cranny  
Residing in the transcendent beauty of creation

It encircles and envelopes
As it nourishes, balances and upholds
Centering in both silence and storm
Permeating every thread of organic firmament

It carries, connects, and cascades
As it winds and weaves its way through nature
Astir in the very foundation of reality
Expressing itself in the munificence of the universe  

It provides and pervades
As it abounds, astounds and surrounds
Hiding in ubiquitous absurdity and riddle
Defying analysis and comprehension

It saunters, sashes, and sustains
As it mysteriously shapes, guides, and directs
Neither here nor there, but somehow everywhere
Inhabiting every design, structure, and essence

It electrifies and elevates
As it builds, binds and bestows    
Predating history, without end or beginning
Existing beyond labels of good or bad     
Visible in a rich diversity of forms ;
Eluding our most ardent attempts to categorize and explain
Author of the grand cosmic scheme
Gloriously present in all living things

__________________________________

Fountainhead

Falling into reverie and rapture
Allowing mind to expand and travel
To cleanse itself of societal clutter
To find the original idea and intent

Descending into new elevations
Into a deeper understanding
Opening and untangling forgotten channels
Permitting mind to activate and recalibrate

Falling into sagacious euphoria
Into a wellspring of tranquility and harmony
Allowing mind to release, refine, conquer, and overcome
To fulfill its preordained and rightful purpose

Dissolving into noetic equibalance
Ascending into the subconscious sanctum
Into the munificent, ebullient nexus of reality
Allowing mind to honor and nourish the sovereignty of Self

Falling into transcendence
Descending into a wonderland of  spiritual extravagance
Into the chiming void of the higher self
Into the very center of the Mind

________________________________

Propensus Prospectus

The Quest was to aspire to that which
is worthwhile, to elevate, enhance, and edify every tenet
of the everpresent psychosphere, to ameliorate our every
anticipated earthstep, to experience the micro and macrocosmic
with sensibilities on full.

To enlist and redefine the most propitious
parameters of the human estate, to attain
a lucid perspective on what gives meaning and illuminates
a higher purpose of existence, to endeavor to understand the
innate abilities, proclivities and possibilities of the mind,
and to assiduously pursue that which enhances our
enriches and energizes our quest to be more than our conditioning.

To nurture our unique sense of excellence and purpose, to
further our understanding of the cosmic superstructure. To
propel, if even by small increments, the evolution of the
species toward a state of being which behooves the spiritual center
within all.

Finally, to exercise and promote that which derives from and
points to mind, spirit, supraspirit, to then finally attain
a degree of self perfection, to achieve a state of personal
and transpersonal harmony by fusing choice and destiny.

To this honorable and natural quest we, the musically inspired,
pledge our most ardent and inspired energies. Awaken the atman,
sound the Ramtha bell , visions to those  whom the universe hath
found........Dream to Abraxas...

Encounter

Shaped by propensity and proclivity, experience divides
into intensity and anonymity. Equidistant to both notion and doctrine,
subtracting from genius the amount required for one
hours worth of human nature, synergies leap ahead,
joy becomes a motive, reason catches up. Gazing inward,
time aligns to space, extrojection signals extrapolation,
illuminating the true path of the guitarist's shibboleth.
Squared to significance, attractions rotate, expand, and
resonate as explanations feed the ambivalent whole,
all for a self concept based on curiosity, humility, and novelty.
Hearing music, the essential self awakens to the spiritual center,
releasing waves of future auspicion and seeding the
foundation for a hybrid intelligence

Outside the zone of conformity, cerebrations form along a vertical axis,
bearing an array of exotic precepts, producing a myriad of
possibilities, the tenets of the ideal. Behooved to harmony,
essence triumphs appearance, illuminating the ratio of circumstance
to choice, spawning a wellspring of priestly theories.
Circumventing classical analysis, more alive in the anticipation of truth,
uncertainty vanishes into paradox,  removing the irrelevant past,
uniting the empirical and intuitive, the menial and the ethereal
all for a personium free of the need for approval, acceptance,
and status. Hearing music, priorities shift, values change,
understanding increases as erratum and ersatz are minimized.  

Predisposed to excellence, motion begets emotion
as meaning supersedes value, engaging every other duality
altering the laws of equivalence, initiating a chain of asymmetrical events.
Beginning in descant,  wiser in sleep,  logic implodes
as sensibilities expand, corroborating the intellections
of shunyatta, unlocking polarities within the thoughtopolis,
producing the foundation for a philosophy of the subconscious
At the second level of reciprocation, felicities multiply
midst a flow of intangibles,  ushering in a parade of
benevolent edicts,  liberating a cadre of zenetic insights,
all for a personium replete with impulse, invitation, and invocation.
Hearing music, the expanded Mind experiences
senses a greater, hitherto unannounced power,
as it aligns to the laws of nature, adding meaning
to an otherwise barren existence and paving the way
for a new ethos.

Guided by anomaly, virtue travels subrosa from hibernation
to verneration, bearing new traditions, recalibrating an
interdimensional cathexis. Objectified for encomnium,
nirvana watches over, extraversions transmute,
uniting the nebulous, the picturesque, and the gallant,
unveiling the last third of the ontological spectrum
creating a gateway to eight wonders of the invisible world.
Starboard to deja vu, motion begets emotion
exponentials converge as melodies rush to the apperceptual
overflow, all for a personium built upon exactitude,
veracity, anonymity. Hearing music for the first time,
barriers and boundaries dissolve as mind welcomes
a stronger sense of self, purpose, and perspective.

__________________________________________

Protege

Known by the intellection of eros
Occurring once a lifetime
Propelled by the more refined instincts  
Born of what inhibition would have otherwise precluded

      To do as one pleases
      To think as we dream
      Extraverting the introspective center
      Taking individuality to a new extreme

Needing another in order to create
Having to reform as something else
Defying the laws of compensation
Debunking one third of all psychological theories

      To enlist the more exotic forces of nature
      To witness the emergence of another personality
      Engaging the depths of the subconscious
      Shedding deleterious barriers and limits

Actualized from a flow of  transcendentals  
Drawing from the eclectic reservoir    
Accruing charisma, adding insight, acumen, and panache
Generating an excess of intrapersonal munificence

     To rise above and beyond the insipid norm        
     To attain an exponential sanity and  sagacity
     Thereby allowing the understudy to assume control
     Fulfilling a quantum, extraordinary destiny
   
Behooved by the quest to enhance, exact, and enrich    
In accord with the laws of wu wei
To, over time, assimilate the once dominant personality
To decorate and aggrandize the interiors , to become one's own protege
For a new level of artistry, sophistication and excellence
For the ultimate freedom of the summum bonum virtuoso

________________________________________

Replica


Given pieces of the grand scheme
Reasoning from whole to parts
Extracted from the multifarious mosaic
Patterns form along the conceptual axis

        Three criteria
        Two reflections
        Inverted for interpolation and illumination
        Mirrored in a coherent cache of synchronicities
        
Derived from an array of constructs
Crossing the precognitive threshold
Weeding out the illusions, a picture forms
Thinning out the conclusions, associations crystallize

     Perceived in thirds
     Expressed in dualities
     Commensurate to the rate and range of interpretation
     Symbol and Synergy coalesce into mandala

Embolden by a second set of perceptae
Broken into a set of of rationalities
Obeying the laws of reciprocation
Manifesting in cone, web, lattice, and spiral

     Four dimensions,  Five directions
     Superimposed on the subconscious
     Mind reassembles from an  multitude of paradigms
     Bearing a holographic pastiche of proprioceptive truths

Reasoning from parts to whole
Reconstructed from a myriad of epistemes
Reproducing, to scale, an exact copy of the universe
Sustaining the fabric and filament of reality

___________________________________________

Insignia


Inspired by the the unknown  
Combing through the dumfolium
Closer to the premonitory wellspring   
My reactions quicken, my sensibilities heighten
I begin to understand

Long ago, sermons were offered,
traditions were tamed,  prophecies turned to prerogatives
foretelling the arrival of numerologies,
the sublimation of the primary cathexis.

Three days into the fast, obstacles fall
mind exits shadow as the seance resumes   
Closer to the junction of animus and astralis,
One step of ahead of circumstance,
My best faculties reassemble and recalibrate
Invoking the original blessing
Leading me into the fourth dimension
All about me I witness the signature of the divine

Each tick of time erases and propels, altering
the potential synchronicities of the collective mindfield,
dissolving the present into both past and future,
thereby sustaining and upholding the fabric of reality
in the form of a nine note hexagram.

Saintly on the first step,  rapt in the anticipation of truth,
Not to violate the spirit of aquarius
Closer to the tetrascroll, all signs point to zenesis
My powers increase as an aura forms around me
as I merge with the oracle borealis

Predicted by sages,  known by an obscure lineage
Concordant with the will of ethos  
One would emerge from empirical storm   
To one day travel through the impossible
To unlock the missing atavism,
To herald the transfiguration of ideologies.

Counting backwards, through the zone of paradox
Two emotions away from clairvoyance
I feel the presence of the miraculous  
I sense another, underlying meaning to the cosmos
Everywhere I find traces of the infinite,  
the mark of the master designer

_________________________________

Nobelium

I am the result of gnosticos, zenstorm, the divine energy
within. Unlike the corrupt, shallow-minded masses, I am
the beacon, the prototype, the confluence of summation,
derivation, and aesthetic elevation. As a totally unique
individual, I have permitted destiny to select the most
propitious influences, producing an ersatz and erratum
free being. I am, therefore I think.

As a disciple of the Geistlight, I exist with an altered
sense of self, free of image, concept, or esteem. Because
of multidimensional origins and foundations, my identity
is only to be found within the sphere of transcendental
art, i.e. exalted music. Because of my place within the
holy spirit, the ever present divine, I am perpetually
misunderstood. Summoned to manifest through a series
of millennial incarnations, I exist to find new pathways
to existential freedom, to elucidate the doctrine of
significance, to praise the Tao.

Called by many names, I celebrate my auspicions
daily.  My presence and uniqueness is a testamonial to
the beauty and power of the living universe. I am the
coronation of Oysterstar, the crowning consequence
of Estarius,  the wisdom which points to a deeper level
of understanding, a higher purpose for one and all.
I am one of the secret, select few, the new cognoscenti,
the Avatari. Behold the wonder, the splendor, the grandeur
of the subrosa earthchoir. Sing to Abraxas.
Mythrynx. Dominoxos. Abba Gaia

Elevations

1) Starlight, starbright
I wish I may, I wish I might
To know in an instant or an eternity in sight
To become and behold what I feel on this night



2)Familiar you seem, have we met before
Perhaps in another time, on some far distant shore
Perchance to dream, to gaze from sky to eye
To know for once and all,
Just how and who and why

3)
Never to be alone, nor to lose one's self to time
Not to try and fit eternity into rhyme
To give and be given, to behold and be
That which I once sought now seeks yet another me
       

4)
Grow them in starlight, in secret, in love
Send them to her highness,
  Signed  ' from somewhere up above '

Adagio

Divined from beatific principles
Suspended in the glorious overview
Welcomed into the verspertine
Replete in the promise of a more meaningful existence

Gazing into the ontological wilderness
Shadows fall in two directions
Voices carry across the water
Revealing another level of intuition
Becalling the instrospective glamor of dusk

Contrasted with a less tangled etiology
Slowing to synchronicity
To a wider view of the aloof interiors
To think more like a soiree, a meditation, a hologram
To be more like an aria, a libretto, a eureka

Halfway to Valhala
Thrice removed from hegemony
Abstractions carry across the dreamscape
Prophecies echo across the body walden
Revealing the nirvana in all things
Bestowing a sense of the miraculous


Witness to the ineffable magic of the universe
Slowing to precognition
To be more like a symphony, an equation, a waterfall
To think more like a fanfare, a fish, a seedling

Objectified for understanding
Balanced on an awareness of transcendentals
Voices carry across the water
Projections rise from the human gegenschein
Unlocking the forces of an unearthen knowledge
Illustrating the purity of the essential self

Abra Poetica

"Ask them if they we're happy. They said they didn't know.
- Sad Wings of Destiny-

Because we were all listening
Eight the only number that truly knows infinity
Those I know best, I've yet to meet
The trees bend to the nightwind, the Oracle listens

Somewhere over the ellysian horizon
Abraxas roams the metallic octaves
Eluding our most arduous grasp, evading, laughing
Time is that which keeps everything from happening at once
Matter only frozen light,
Mind the receiving, absorbing, generating marvel of the Universe

Literature at its best, need not rhyme..........

Seekers we were, out to find the primal energy
So taken by power, by the quest for power
That we went and found the supreme power
We were never the same. We became mutations,
expressors, artists........poets kept in camouflage.

In the other beginning, there was both darkness and light
An unending carnival of paradox was born
A world within a vision within an illusion of a rumored reality.
Strike the chord, invoke the essence, unlock the dreamer
Let the dualities have their play. Om Shara........

The poetic mind feasts on visions, art an end in itself
Purpose is derived from the holiness within
Passion the dividing line between,
Music the unifying grace, joy the missing ingredient
Unto all that silence eventually finds,
Whispers turn to starlight, the Oracle listens.......

Through infinities we wander, toward fates unknown
Follow the inexact, where starseeds have been sown.

- ZenRaven.

Into the timeless, wordless void of reflection and sentiment,
gazing into the abyss, thinking of nothing, knowing nothing,
remembering nothing,

The poetic mind feasts on visons, art an end in itself
Purpose is derived from the holiness within
Passion the dividing line between,
Music the unifying grace, joy the missing ingredient
Unto all that silence eventually finds,
Whispers turn to starlight, the Oracle listens

Vectors

A group of fifteen descend diagonally into what can best be
described as an underground gallery, an enchanted cavern,
a vivarium. The tour begins..........

The symbol you find so intriguing represents all that
is experienced in transcendence, trance, overdrive. It symbolizes
all that is outside of Time as we know it. It signifies all that
has been transformed by the inherent beauty and power of the cosmos.

       Each metaphysical construct resonates to its own harmonic
       counterpart, an etheric double, existing both independently
       and symbiotically on a more telepathic level. Inverting the
      paradox, context may then replicate, accelerate or mutate
       toward an optimum state of synergy and synchronicity.

The symbol that keeps reappearing in your mind is a symbol for
the Subconscious, for all that is beyond comprehension. It is not
a hallucination. It represents that which comprises the primary
flow of reality, the ontological spectrum and the occultic counterflow
within. Divination.

       Within the most daring and recondite episteme of the known
       universe are clusters of esoteric perceptae, rotating and
       revolving around azure overtones, organizing for brief moments
       as exotic patterns of organic energy, forming the essential
       fabric for the premonitory whole.

The symbol you are compelled to inquire further about represents
a unique state of mind, an intelligence inspired and propelled
by art in its highest form. Music. It symbolizes the departure
from the lexical world, the divine connection between
mind and universe. Teleos.

       Soon after the advent of the psychoacoustical age, a new
       emphasis was placed on the intuitive arts, imaginative
       intelligence, the valhala scriptures and the meaning and
       scope of the aesthetic equation. Reality is the ongoing,
       predicative manifestation of transdimensional causality.

The sounds you hear are not of this realm - they originate
in another dimension. They are the result of emanations within
the dreamscape being transposed to the audible. The vertigo you
are now experiencing will soon pass. Do not be alarmed. The symbol
appearing before you now in hologram represents a higher ethic,
beyond good and evil, right and wrong, the awareness of a higher
purpose. From inside, the symbol appears as a myriad of pyschedelic
mandalas, in perpetual motion, emitting a sub-space frequency,
the whole of which produces a striking aural display. Follow my voice.

       In the other beginning, there were hundreds of thousands of
       subluminous frequencies aswirl in a vast ocean of gestalten
       potential. Over imponderable amounts of time, these ubiquitous
       frequencies evolved into orchestral waveforms, which in
      time would crystallize into tangible actualities, all for the divine
       expression of the cosmic wherewithall.

In the pictograph to the above right, you see the image of what
appears to be two guitars crossing, with two figures below.
In the background is the correct rendition of the night sky.

The inscription at the bottom of the pictograph, recently decoded,
makes a reference to time travel, telepathy, transmutation.
The last line translates, "This is Evolution"

       Information continues to feed in at the rate commensurate to
       the ratio of assimilation to inspiration. Turning the human mirror
       one third to the right, science and symphony meet at phase transition,
       recalibrating and recalculating the zensations within each parsec of genius.
       Panning and pulsing, the joke lives.........

Your attention to the far wall please. This is the view from
just outside your galaxy. You are here. Shifting, this is the
view from near the center of your galaxy, the one you will one
day rename Copernicus. Shifting again, this is the view from your
earth. You exist in a unique part of space, in the middle of a
spirit filled channel, current, zone. Your earth is an outpost
in an enchanted, enviable part of the Universe. Both the earth
and the visible stars are you home. This is Outer Space.
Know this........

       In the Oysterstar Treatise, mind and music interact to produce
       a much more colorful, dynamic, and rewarding sense of Self.
       Time is thus experienced in octahedra, euphonia, and mystagoga.

The music you now hear is from another side of reality, another
era. It encompasses and expresses all the elements represented
by the symbol. Both the music and the symbol share the same
cryptic origin. Again, the view from just outside your galaxy.
The symbol you will dream about represents a rare knowledge,
a planetary awareness, a understanding of the forces of the
supernatural world. It is a holy symbol, signifying the power
of the mind, supercharged by music, and aligned to the power
of the cosmos. No limits, no barriers, only possibilities. Logos.
It is the symbol for the Future.......
