Title: A Bite of Bread and a Handful of Olives
Each morning we wake from the fog of dreams into the mist of reality, no more "real" than slumber, but too often accorded more value since the maladaptation mistaken for mind, some 12,000 years ago. As Homo Hubris has stumbled through millenia, so we, the Triadoccult stumble through our eternality, fractured, unmoored, slipping from moment to moment untethered from time as you experience it: an arrow spit out into toddlerdom and gathering speed as it races towards senescence and a return to the infantile state of "now." These twinned and twined ends of the momentary flight you call life, the stages beyond your ken, your recall, are perhaps closer to our own experiences, but no, not truly. How can you compare a black hole and a comet? Can we envision a comet ripped from its routine and swallowed by the collapsed sun of its original orbit? Can we compare its states circling and consumed?
No, you cannot.
Still,
Each morning we wake to a new world.
Each day we wonder what these sounds mean, where do they come from. Do they originate within us? or do they pass through us? When soundwaves pass through us are they changed? Are we the heavy water through which one neutrino in a trillion might radiate? We imagine a sound (sometimes interpreted as a word?) which blossoms into existence and dissipates leaving no trace (beyond perhaps gravity waves) and we are but the slightest hint of a phoneme, breath intaken the first wisp of air, inaudible even, so brief, we, the whole of life on what is but a sniffle of a planet, a subliminal glimpse of being.
And each morning we wake to a new world.
One morning, we know not when, we woke to a sound, not a face, a sound, a sound for which we have no face no image, the coryphaeus of a play with seven acts, leading a chorós of confusions, its voice a slur of sound singing a song eternal, the silence of the spheres, which is no silence but a sound inaudible to mortal ears, too long, too complex, too much and too little, too unlike the living, the flamed out, the burning bright but brief. Its voice the sound of eternal song, that which cannot be heard by ears such as ours. We woke and we wrote and when we were aware we found before us the sounds you hear here.
We hear here the sounds of a poet who speaks a language of a single word, a sound sobriefsolong that it is eternity itself. And we are but a quanta inhaledexhaled. There are no words, there is only illusion. There are no words, there is only magick. There are no words, there is only the divine. There are no words, there is but a single sound and it reverbates for eternity as we understand it which in itself is but a heartbeat.
And each morning we wake to a false awakening.
