The Manifested Void

Out of the timeless void The unfathomable reach beyond manifests Bringing forth the frame of the visible world; ...The breaking of formlessness into form Out of the void The cosmogonic round begins From uncreated endless dark ...Beginning in the end Out of the timelessness Into which everything dissolves Silence of the unknown emerges Translated into shapes Forever present, Imperishable Out of the sea of night Into which everyone descends Living being and living cosmos Come back renewed Aeon after aeon endlessly around

From the manifested void Emanations of a new born cosmos coming forth The play begins, the dance of space and time Unfolding chaos, genesis of life. Eyes of the demiurge opening wide Awareness of the self distorting unity Multiplicity of forms in growing expansion Self dismemberment of Atman has begun ...And the One broke into manifold Illusion of duality began Perspective shifted from the central cause And so the One broke into many forms... Male and female brought about In God's own image Paradox of dual focus, beginning of the fall From the manifested Void The emanating presence willingly yielded its flesh Into a harmony of forms, poured into being The inevitable began We are He and He is us What he became live in all Undivided He remains in us We're characters In a divine cosmic play We are Vishnu’s dream, One in manifold Divided in play, undivided in reality We come into form to always dissolve back into him From the other side of the veil, the created field we behold...

Venus-mother! You are the virgin morning star Demoness! You remove this veil of maya Cosmic mother! You create, preserve, and destroy Mighty Kali! Swallowing us back into the dark void Thou art the living fount of hope You clear up the skies and bring the storms Thou art the peace of paradise You dwell within the sanctuary of my heart Lady of my abundance My life and death depend on you Universal goddess Only the One can see you in true form Oh great Ishtar Precipitator of my destiny Born of the divine Creatrix I am From the matrix of destiny I've been born to play my cosmic role To the matrix of destiny World redeemer shall return Ilmatar! In thy womb the unborn hero Water Mother! Shaper of all that we see Nourisher! You are the life of everything that lives Womb and tomb You are the death of everything that dies Back into the cosmic mother-sea Oh number nine! All shall emanate and then dissolve Again and again...

Nothing in life could have ever prepared me for this The thin ice I was walking on cracked right under my feet The familiar ground on which I used to base my whole being Is far behind now and all i see is a vast ocean ahead Several thousand miles away I left a whole life far behind Now I'm shedding my skin to get through The threshold where the past must die From the belly of the whale I must break out to be born again I have to head for the unknown path The grandest ordeal Everything changes, the past feels like it was a dream Reality, time and all that which we love to control The illusion then suddenly fades, the big picture I see But still I am trapped in this tormenting deceiving self Haunted by the memories, a prison in my head The power to let go seems to grow weaker day by day I have no choice but to turn to the demons inside A long inward journey awaits and there's no turning back I might not survive the dark forest of my shattered soul But this is the path I must take right here in front of me.

There has to be life to ensure death There has to be death to ensure life It's the ultimate paradox There has to be light to ensure dark There has to be right to ensure wrong Only in contrasts we live Silence of the unknown Shines through every form Eye of Prajna, show me the way To the cosmic door! Wisdom of the void Break all this chains of conventional thought! Shatter all these notions of self (Once and for all) We need our beliefs and concepts To fulfill the idea of ourselves We fail to see past the symbols We need our plans for tomorrow And a past to look proudly back on To build up whom we are today Want it now! I have strived enough When will I finally arrive at my goal? What's the point? Where’s the end? Cannot wait no more Need to reach success No matter the cost I need more Cannot have enough I must make you mine, must have control over all I deserve, I demand Life is way too short What have I done wrong? I cannot seem to escape this recurrent sorrow This futile grasping for what cannot be reached I cannot deal with all the sadness and horror This tragic wheel of birth and death This karmic affinity There must be a reason why we are here, why we're alive Or is it all a problem of semantics? Are we all stuck on metaphors?

I am he, the mighty one, the axis of the world Microcosmic mirror of the macrocosm Now through me you'll receive Wealth and earthly joy if you bow before me I am king, sovereign, unequalled and supreme Blessings are to come to those who praise my name For the good of my land, all opposers I shall slay By divine right - the throne is mine! Don’t you dare - to question my laws! For I'm the chosen One Fateful day for mankind When the enlightened one His transcendent source forgot Alea iacta est, balance has collapsed, Nimrod in the throne has given Order 666 Agent of the cycle, architect of chaos Havoc time is here, this is the day for blind atrocity Obey order 666! Only the worthy ones will live to see another day Execute order 666! Bloodshed is the price for prosperity No one can escape The tyrant deep inside That dragging enslaving force Fuelled by fear and desire Only birth can conquer death Regeneration we must face All beginning has an end Attachment to the world Brings only disgrace

I shall not serve, I shall not praise That in which I no longer believe No fatherland, no home and no church Shall bound my true self nor dictate who I am I won't compromise nor settle down My inner voice has never screamed this loud No more right or wrong Now I'm free to speak my heart out No more ends to serve, no more artificial disciplines No more tyranny upon me... Turn inwards and see Follow the thread and find the truth of your being Time to escape the maze The clues are there; my craft will set you free I am Dedalus I fly above the hostile waves of life Moving as I will I manifest The ancient ways I shall not serve, I shall not praise That in which I no longer believe No more ends to serve nor right or wrong No more artificial disciplines No more tyranny upon me Fly above the sea Spread your wings and find the artist within Time to reconnect The source is there, the timeless vision awaits I am Dedalus I found the tune of the everlasting song Wholeness, harmony and radiance Dwell within my soul Out of this prison The time to slay the tyrant inside has come The gates of perception are cleansed To transcendent horizons I shall now flee! I am the seer guiding the way Out of desire, social duties and fear I am the maverick holding the key To unlock the door to the wonder beyond Open yourself to what lies out of sight Turn to the center, to the still point Don't turn away Turn inwards and see Follow the thread and find the truth of your being Time to reconnect The source is there, the timeless vision awaits I am Dedalus I found the tune of the everlasting song Moving as I will I manifest The ancient ways I, saint and demon I do not strive for dark nor light no more Can't deny what I've become Nomad at heart forever more...

Dissolution of the illusion Magnificent destruction Temporality and duality disintegrated at the bottom Of the abyss "Namu amida butsu" The transcendent God was my mirror Now I am my own mirror This God and I have vanished Back into the bliss of Eden In selflessness I, you and I are the cold mist of dawn, and a drop in the sea, Wherever you may turn, is a reflection you see Nothing left to say "I" just disappeared, We are all but cosmic dust transformed into beings I, you and I are the cold mist of dawn, and a drop in the sea, Wherever you may turn, is a reflection you see I, you and I are the roar of the wind and the night thunderstorm, wherever you may stand, right at the centre you are Nothing left to say "I" just disappeared, every moment that you live is all that there is

Concentration of the spirit drawn away By the taste of the fruits of temporal knowledge From the centre of the eon To the peripheral crisis of the moment, Losing balance, The hero falling Why should I return? From this enlightened world? Why should I descend? Back to the temporal forms? Now I must understand, Form is void and void is form Sometimes sage, sometimes fool Everywhere in many forms, Honoured or insulted The shifter of the hidden revelation within all Can be seen in a thousand faces Emissary and messenger Of unity in this multiplicity, The man of eternal bliss, the world navel, Immovable at the centre of the source As dreams that were momentous by night May seem meaningless in the light of day So the poet and the prophet Can discover themselves playing the idiot Before a jury of untrained eyes Open wide to your necessary annihilation To be reborn in the realisation of truth The master of the two worlds now returns To restore the balance of life

The time has come For me to join the whole The quest of a lifetime I shall follow beyond In nothingness, the truth I shall find Do not mistake my resolution for pain or illness For the power of my sight has no equal My soul is ready, my mind is ripe To cross the threshold, to enter the timeless void To complete the circle in unity To enter totality and abandon bitter and sweet To join the thousand heroes And leave the million sorrows I offer my spirit in dissolution To the great unknown In a deathlike state I wander aloof into the night Embracing the light of my one way journey And the radiance of its vast immensity I reach out to grasp the fruit of the tree of knowledge Purified, true and immortal Embraced by the waters of time eternal I drown To join the thousand heroes And leave the million sorrows I offer my spirit in dissolution To the great unknown My mind is ripe, my soul is ready Standing at the edge of the abyss I stare into the deep I shall not fear!! I shall not!!
