THE BOOK OF THE HOLLOW TREE
 

1. This is the Book of the Hollow Tree
The Bole of Self-Protruding, hollow
Self-Destroying and Replicating
Seed: Tree : Compost
In Triune-Unconsciousness- Void.

2. The Angel holds open a gaping chest
Stars and Space within- it's Heart: Void- Stillness, the Nameless beginning

3. What's real are the spaces Between-
Galaxies
Stars
Planets
People
Atoms
Quarks
Neutrinos

4. I Speak from the Crevice, crush & between
This Silence is the voice of the Angel
The Howling of the Beast from the empty cavern of the Heart

5. Behold-
The Tree is Hollow, all growth is shedding of Matter bark, revealing the beautiful  Void behind every smile of Shakti rooted in the play of consciousness.

6. For what is Self but Self-Reflected?
What is the Word but bridge from silence to silence?
All Work is Shadow-Work, for the Light merely IS.

7. So- Will & Art, with Love conjoined, casts monstrous shadows upon the cavern's wall.

8. Shaman's fire & atomic blast, united in the blink- the flash- the silent lightening stroke of the Open Eye.

9. As All is Naught
So here is balance.
The Empty Heart a province of Truth, construct of Self- Self-Begotten, in the End , is a vessel of TAO, full of intimation, of suggestion and inference; empty.
Easily shattered shards of verbiage, scattered by heavenly winds.

10. Yet- Here it is!
Holy Grail, cauldron of Great Mother
 in deed.

11. Angel holds this Vessel or- opens or-
Parts- the Veil of Heart
Revealing an empty Shrine therein

12. All the Pyramids are empty as are all the Houses of the City.
People wander as ghosts, fading oblique images, spectral, past/future fading, reappearing only to age, become young again, die &  be born, walking mazes within mazes- but still.

13. An Empty House there it stands on this Equinox.
Equals are Crossed
Join-nothing.
Born of-
What?

14. Silence tells Silence, Path knows Treader as the Mountain knows the Climber.
Echoes combining from fractal tantrums, dissident- foolish to listeners.
No less the Truth for incomprehensibility.

15. And that Truth?

16. The Heart is Empty, as Void is Full. Gods again walk among us and Masters too.
Silence - Nameless - Horned and honed, is born again of Hollow Tree.
As Stars rain upon raised Branches. Feathered limbs & leaves of Angel-Tree. Reach up, piercing, All space.

17. Secret sun of son- silence-
Jewel of NOX within Lotus of LVX

....Metanis.

Om Ha. A full commentary of this Book is being crafted here and beyond as I ...speak...but here is the gist: There is a prime gnostic conundrum in magick; the First great working is said to be the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. The second is the accepting the non-existance of the HGA above the Abyss. Both are true, neither is true... This Book is one of...shock- there Really Is NoThing, the Vehicle is Naught. Maybe.
