Initiation
03:46

Humanity is an infant species
Being forced to grow up in public
In the transition from species infancy to species adolescence.
We’re heading into a collective ritual experience –
A species rite of passage.
We’re heading into an intense ‘initiatory experience’ –
The continuance of our evolutionary unfolding.
Reconfigurations are defining our temporal-spatial perceptions of time.
Recalibrating the way human brains perceive reality.
The human species is being thrust into a new era.
This is our global initiation.
Nothing short of a global revelatory experience is required.
We have moved into our Crisis Window.
We have to make the leap from the octave of the old mind
To the beginning sequence of a new cosmic mind.
Ours is a disintegrating sensate culture
In the midst of its near-death experience
Beset by the denial of death –
The signs of a dying cycle.
Death before renewal.
A sudden implosion.
An initiatory experience.
A forced fatal diagnosis for change.

Having to face our dark side
Passing through the dark tunnel
Confronting our struggles
Emerging the Übermensch.
This is our journey now.
To the underworld and back
A test of fortitude, willpower and determination
A passage in time to purge and prepare.
We are teetering on the edge of the Earth.
The descent into the underworld and back –
The rites of passage, our dark night of the soul
Where identity of the self is dissolved and renewed.
The transfiguration, the way forward for the return
Into the world as a renewed force.
Into the psychic fire
Transfusion of the human race.
Separation, initiation return.
Dissolved, worked upon, reassembled.
The alchemical embrace.
To die before you die.
The price we have to pay
For the shamanizing
Of the human race.

Caught In Plato's Cave
03:24
|
|||
|
None are more enslaved than those
who falsely believe they are free.
Caught inside Plato’s Cave
Thinking they can see.
Wrongly trusting in the deceptive
Prisons of human sovereignty.
The illusion of liberty is a powerful tool
That dominates the blinded fool.
Remember that the free election of masters
Does not abolish the masters or the slaves.
All that is solid melts into air.
The invisible constraints that
The ignorant believe to be fair.
Maintaining the mirage of
Keeping society under control
This is the illusion
The shadows from the fire.
The comforts of false façade
Provided by the Hidden Hands.
Yet these are not our promised lands.
Our Kingdom is not of this world
We are in exile in a foreign realm
Like a bird of paradise locked in a cage.
The revolution may not be televised
Whilst the many remain entranced
By the shadows.
Puppet masters ply their trade
Believing the sunlight will never rise.
Yet the future belongs to those
Who give the medicine of hope.
Adversity is the antidote
To a world in amnesia.
None are more enslaved than those
who falsely believe they are free.
Caught inside Plato’s Cave
Thinking they can see.

New Revolutions
04:38
|

|
A revolution in perception
A revolution in worldview
A revolution in the collective psyche
But it doesn’t stop there.
A revolution in our societies
A revolution in our cultures.
A revolution in our conditions.
But it doesn’t stop there.
The cosmos is turning in its spiral
The planets are turning in synch.
Earth is turning on its axis
A revolution in cosmology.
Cycles within cycles
States within states.
A new order is arranging itself
Beyond the grasp of human hands.
Critical thresholds
Yuga cycles.
We must close our eyes to invoke
A new way of seeing.
The fourth turning
Rome is burning.
The Dignity of Man cries out
Against the inequalities.
Royal descent
Cultural dissent
A different human is breaking out
To seed future history.
Civilization
Industrialization
Planetization
New discoveries cracking open
The sacred head of the cosmic egg.
The descending arc becomes the ascending arc.
The rational becomes the archaic.
All rules are broken in the new realm.
The metaphysical shift is underway.
Acceleration
Shock transitions
The scriptures are struggling
To unleash Nature’s secrets.
We are the prime movers
In a disenchanted world.
Resilience comes before resistance.
Revolution within evolution.
A transformation where the esoteric
Is the heart of civilization.

End of an Era
03:44
|
|||
|
We’re on a hero’s journey
To restore the world
To its former glory.
To reconnect with a
Sense of the sacred.
Into the universal,
A dimension of meaning
Where the human psyche merges
Into the significant whole.
Revealing a worldview
Held by our ancients
That all things are part
Of a conscious cosmos
Giving life and animation.
The outgoing era
In a state of decay
Giving way for the faculties
Of perception for a new day.
A design for living
Embedded in every thing.
And the end of our exploring
To arrive where we started
And to know it anew.
Humanity’s rise is now due.
A grand cycle of time
Another time around.
The wisdom of Solomon knows
There is nothing new under the sun.
Each revolution brings us to this moment
Where those souls shall be harvested
That have answered the Call
And the deaf ones shall be returned
To cycle back through the Fall.
We either reach a critical mass
And fly - Or we do not.
For there is nothing in a caterpillar
That tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.
