heard in two ten

take off my glasses
impressionniste

in wood

safe from

human action
and accuracy

outside

or just more inside

a communication
with five realities

among five known

bodies of self:

               matter

               image

               vision

               magic 
               chaos

each gathering of arrangements

which we minimize as objects
like our body(s)

has something of each state

some more demonstrable 

you can connect

each of your five bodies

to all five states

and should do so

each is working through you

but since you are unique
possess identity
an awareness

you can modulate weakly

the influence of each of these states

like your change of the physical world

with glasses

you can reach
far to
that little window
chaos

sexually carouse

with the first three

and hear matter's
coda to frustration

in giving so much

to order

take from chaos

chance and risk

like your species 
enjoyed
for millennia

seek the limits of your form

your uniqueness in all uniquities

why wouldn't you
before the end
when you will

past the frontier
america follows
the catholic West
trend toward

consolidation

for the purpose of greed

to depower humans

to a system

retarding their ability

to evolve

by restraining through authority

the interaction of the five
in favor of Order

yet Order is losing

entropy is increasing
yet still bound up in

patterns of dispersal

are we not the froth of Order

far greater order

than the insect hive

and our order

is creating its own identity
in a new arrangement of five

which by pattern and consistency

manipulation of your needs

is manipulating you NOW

will one
break the eggshell

reach out of a body

with abandon

and get through

or rather
leave a disappearing path

like the species
after at best a million years

either through evolution

or extinction

meaty stakes

but in a piffle

between order/ chaos

you only feel a little

and play an

iota

less than Lennin

who wont appear

more than a thousand years

for a mention
in "TIME"

music is a samba

between magic 

and the body image

with stronger communication

with matter

but music is more important

as proof

of communication

between the five

it is the boundary to

areas of pattern

you do not see

with your knowledge

which is really

style

paradox is another edge

just as spirituality

can reach the fifth

of chaos

religion is often a dead sidetrack

since communication

with the five

only rarely occurs

in calculated procedures

with other animals

our connection is too thin

so religious schemes

provide a false

sense of connection

and toy with

the first and second bodies'

desperate need and hope

for some continuity

which of course is impossible

and not needed

to continue the general movements

of chaos and order
also in you

which are only a rhythm

in a larger unknown scheme

we have no hope to

glimmer

out here

nearer at hand
in a forest of thousands

are angles among
magic forms

that shut down
the ever running

accuracy machine

fire is only a physical state
but fast processing of arrangement

bringing complete devastation
to matter 

impacts all five realities

spurring life

to compete

in species' code

through reproduction

and evolution

was there faster evolution

in the past

or is now
a period of slower

change in space

are not chaos and order

just the most common feature
gaining position
triggering our perception

is commoness

a power and influence
like any arrangement

even nonexistence

laws such as newton

a dictionary of commoners
which extend into the other five

in a simpler species
art was a manipulation

of sensory impressions

miming other realities

our artists

now explore
and interact with

the other five

writing translates best 

fiction is a play

of our living experience

in all five

poetry is immediate

more true

without irrelevant arrangements
character

conflict

history

mythology 

a subgroup's

representation

of the other five

should be treated

as schools of thought

thought like fire

is a thread

to the five
with broad avenues
to body image

weaker with magic

and strives

for chaos

thought in reason

is a mechanics view

of the arrangements between

the five which govern

their reach

among the five

arrangement
is the most
we see

is it a rare feature in

the next higher pattern

we cannot understand

like grains of sand

do not know the will

of our hand

sands and planets

are an eventual 

losing phase of matter

gathering together

for a relative short time

before being exploded

in another direction

the non-negotiable limit of our first body identity

limit

the first body

as in fasting

and open the aperture
to magic and chaos

writing or recording
is a way of affecting
in time 

the ongoing balances

of the five collective bodies

among portions

of the human inhabitants

dont allow influence by other entities

which offer teaching of the interplay

limit access to other realities

like X did

such tales may guide a journey
to a schizophrenia
distinct more shallow identities
dissolution or reincorporation
cognizable
as a stereotype

At last, the Supreme Maker decreed that this creature, to whom He could give nothing wholly his own, should have a share in the particular endowment of every other creature. Taking man, therefore, this creature of indeterminate image, He set him in the middle of the world and then spoke to him:

"We have given you, O Adam, no visage proper to yourself, nor endowment properly your own, in order that whatever place, whatever form, whatever gifts you may, with premeditation, select, these same you may have and possess through your own judgement and decision.

The nature of all other creatures is defined and restricted within laws which We have laid down; you, by contrast, impeded by no such restrictions, may, by your own free will, to whose custody We have assigned you, trace for yourself the lineaments of your own nature.

I have placed you at the very center of the world, so that from that vantage point you may with greater ease glance round about you on all that the world contains. We have made you a creature neither of heaven nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal, in order that you may,

as the free and proud shaper of your own being, fashion yourself in the form you may prefer.

It will be in your power to descend to the lower, brutish forms of life; you will be able, through your own decision, to rise again to the superior orders whose life is divine.''

The highest spiritual beings were, from the very moment of creation, or soon thereafter, fixed in the mode of being which would be theirs through measureless eternities.

But upon man, at the moment of his creation, God bestowed seeds pregnant with all possibilities, the germs of every form of life. Whichever of these a man shall cultivate, the same will mature and bear fruit in him.

If vegetative, he will become a plant; if sensual, he will become brutish;

if rational, he will reveal himself a heavenly being; if intellectual, he will be an angel and the son of God.

And if, dissatisfied with the lot of all creatures, he should recollect himself into the center of his own unity, he will there become one spirit with God,

in the solitary darkness of the Father.

These are the seven signs of the ending of this world. There shall be in all the earth famine and great pestilences and much distress: then shall all men be led captive among all nations and shall fall by the edge of the sword.

On the first day of the judgement will be a great marvel (or, the beginning shall be). At the third hour of the day shall be a great and mighty voice in the firmament of the heaven, and a great cloud of blood coming down out of the north, and great thunderings and mighty lightnings shall follow that cloud, and there shall be a rain of blood upon all the earth. These are the signs of the first day, Sunday.

And on the second day there shall be a great voice in the firmament of the heaven, and the earth shall be moved out of its place: and the gates of heaven shall be opened in the firmament of heaven toward the east, and a great power shall be sent belchedforth by the gates of heaven and shall cover all the heaven even until evening  and there shall be fears and tremblings in the world. These are the signs of the second day.

And on the third day, about the second hour, shall be a voice in heaven, and the abysses of the earth shall utter their voice from the four corners of the world. The first heaven shall be rolled up like a book and shall straightway vanish. And because of the smoke and stench of the brimstone of the abyss the days shall be darkened unto the tenth hour.

Then shall all men say: I think that the end draweth near, that we shall perish. These are the signs of the third day.

And on the fourth day at the first hour, the earth of the east shall speak, the abyss shall roar: then shall all the earth be moved by the strength of an earthquake. In that day shall all the idols of the heathen fall, and all the buildings of the earth. These are the signs of the fourth day.

And on the fifth day, at the sixth hour, there shall be great thunderings suddenly in the heaven, and the powers of light and the wheel of the sun shall be caught away, and there shall be great darkness over the world until evening, and the stars shall be turned away from their ministry.

In that day all nations shall hate the world and despise the life of this world. These are the signs of the fifth day.

And on the sixth day there shall be signs in heaven. At the fourth hour the firmament of heaven shall be cloven from the east unto the west. And the angels of the heavens shall be looking forth upon the earth the opening of the heavens. And all men shall see above the earth the host of the angels looking forth out of heaven. Then shall all men flee.

Limiting discussion to humans and their world(s), there are five human realities, each of them potentially knowable by man, who is able to participate in them by means of the five bodies he/she possesses. These are the "gross" and "subtle" bodies encountered in all major spiritual traditions and systems of magic and occultism. The understanding of them is distorted, however, and some systems, for example, subcategorize, while others lump together, thus arriving at three, seven, nine, or some other number of bodies and their respective realities. The five human dimensions or worlds are a "midpoint" between the realities of chaotic "matter" and evolutionary "spirit."

The "gross material or physical body, " or just "physical body" (AUFU), is the body of anatomy and physiology, and it is what most people think they mean by "my body." This body, however, has a brain but no mind and is therefore not the body of most experience, as will be explained more fully later.

The second, more subtle body is the Double (KA), and it is the body usually experienced by the mind of that body; it is a body image, coincides more or less with the AUFU, and its sensations also are images or, more precisely, symbolic representations of an imaginal reality, which it in many ways distorts. This distortion is recognized by psychology, so that some authors speak, for example, of a "symbolic coding" of the "actual" reality done by the brain or the brain-mind. Quite apart from metaphysics, one can accept that the experience of one's own and other bodies is not immediate, but mediated by the mind, and "occurs in" the mind (or brain, if one chooses to regard mind as "epiphenomenon of brain").

As the KA's world is more subtle than the AUFU's, similarly the third body and world of the Shadow (HAIDIT) is more subtle than that of the KA. This is a reality ordinarily experienced as altogether "mental" and mostly "unconscious", the world, for example, of most dreams and most images experienced in trance and drug states. It can be a world of either the personal or the collective or transpersonal unconscious, a world that is the source of many works of art and which figures also in other sorts of "creativity." Many fail to consider that in, say, the dream world they have a body which is not the body of everyday experience and that the dream world also is a different reality, the dream body and dream worlds being unfettered by many of the "laws" which bind the world of the ordinary waking consciousness. As is true of the KA and the other subtle bodies, the HAIDIT is part of and interactive with that constellation of five bodies which is the human being. Therefore its experiences can affect the others, particularly those inferior to it in subtlety, but the more subtle bodies also. Such interactions are most strikingly apparent in cases where the unconscious is clearly in a causal relationship to the sickness or healing of the physical body or the mind. Once again, this world of experience is well-known to psychology. What is not grasped sufficiently, however, is that the world of the HAIDIT, or Shadow, is equally as real as the "objective" world, that the body of the HAIDIT is also equally real, and that the failure to recognize these facts is damaging and severely limiting.

The Magical Body and its world, or KHU, are only rarely consciously experienced but shape importantly that "work of art" or "myth" which the HAIDIT in its own consciousness lives, and which it imposes on the KA, which in turn lives out the same myth, but almost always unconsciously. These subtler realities then very largely determine the fate of the AUFU, including, accidents apart, when and how it will deteriorate and die. In ancient times when such matters were better understood the KHU was not thought of as "magical", but as magico-spiritual, the line between magic and religion being artificial and imposed on human thinking by religions which already had lost much of their awareness and potency. The KHU was the "second order" reality and work of the magician-priest -- only later, just of the magician. To live and act consciously in the KHU it is necessary to undergo a prolonged and very rigorous training. There are brief, spontaneous experiences of it, most often triggered by unusual stress and a resultant alteration of consciousness. Also, in some more primitive societies, shamans, witch doctors and similar figures still attain to fragmentary knowledge of the KHU and thus can generate some "paranormal" effects, but these fall far short of what is possible. Nevertheless the importance of the KHU, which can serve either Cosmos or Chaos, is very great. Functioning unconsciously insofar as the less subtle bodies are concerned, it affects them and their worlds quite apart from determining the myth that is lived out. Each person is to some extent an "unconscious magician", affecting his world, including other persons, by telepathic, psychokinetic and other means. In some cases this "unconscious magic" can be extremely potent.

The "highest" and most subtle body and world is the SAHU, or Spiritual Body which again, more appropriately, should be magicospiritual, but of the "first order." This is the world of authentic "religious experience" as it is attained to by rigorous practitioners of "spiritual disciplines" -- "holy men", "saints", "spiritual masters," whatever they may be called in a particular system. In the ancient traditions, the high magician-priest was expected to be able to experience and work with the realities of both KHU and SAHU. Presently, however, spiritual disciplines largely eschew the magical reality, aiming only at passive consciousness of the "spiritual" one -- more rarely, spiritual Work and interactions with Neters. This limitation is crippling for spiritual development. And the true goal must be "complete" consciousness -- that is, the knowledge and use of all five of the bodies and their respective dimensions. Similarly, the magician is crippled if his consciousness and Work do not extend beyond the KHU.

The SAHU is the only human reality which is "congenial" to the Cosmic "Gods", although such Beings may "descend" all the way into the realm of the AUFU which, however, is excremental to them. The "Gods" of Chaos ordinarily "ascend" only to the realm of the KHU, when a "black magic" is practiced. However, some of the most potent sometimes invade the SAHU, so that even the holiest of men or women is not secure from them. Also, the most powerful of black magicians can work with Metaeidolons representing the UrGods of Chaos at this level, thus effecting the most potent
