The Eleven (Draft 2)


In deep soul he saw the chalice of Flame,
With eleven feathers like rays of fire rising
From hidden heart to wide mysterious dawn.
A many-planed light revealing the worlds,
An integral gnosis, an infinite bliss,
The Flame where God is the knower and the known -
He saw the lucent Rulers of its rays,
Transfigured beings that was the Flame.

Seer-Poet of visioned ecstasy,
Master singer of eleven-hued Flame,
Divine speech in the guise of earthly tongues
Revealing the hidden infinities :
Epic echoes of high and flaming planes,
Sweet melodies of the lyrics of dream,
The pastoral musings of distant stars,
A sonorous drumming of a divine beat,
Evoking the deep unheard soul of things,
The music unfolding the hierarchies
Of the Gods of Truth and Power and Love,
A sacred singing of wondrous Ecstasy.
A Silence listening to the voice of Truth,
A seer of planes high, rhythmical and supreme,
Bright-flaming, wide and pure and still,
a moonlit lake shining with silent ecstasy.

A yellow-white occult Sun surges as
creation and destruction stand nude
in their lightning and miraculous modes.
Here is divine chemistry and the Art,
a mad pell-mell fusion and fission of
The hidden flames of spirit, mind and life.
A Knowledge - immortal, blissful, luminous -
Of the play of the layered universes,
The correlating harmonies of their laws,
their formulaic potencies and master Words—
the divine Faces of Creation's apex
guiding the interlocking dance of one
same exuberant Consciousness.
A storm rage of compelling soul rhythms,
A song wondrous and wild, yet a movement
encircled and bound by Truth's fire ring.
Soul in its outbursts of truth and power,
Architectonic flames of divine bliss,
Soul-Will incarnated as potent chants,
the songs and insane magic of the Word.
He is the King-Shaman of the flaming skies,
Walker of the planes, mystic seer and Mage,
He who raised human speech to lightning wielded
By inner heart over infinite worlds -
the womb and bearer of the Atlantean gift.

Divine gardener, luminous Friend of life,
One spirit and dream with the plants of the earth,
Silent, humble, tranquil and compassionate.
Knower of the breath moving through trees and shrubs,
Seer of the souls of flowers  and sweet herbs,
Love who nourishes, radiates and cares,
Channel of the forces uplifting nature,
Seer of light who makes the earth fertile,
Gentle power inspiring the souls of things.
His art inspires that hidden in seed:
Rich nourishing grains, medicinal herbs,
Aromatic spices, and trees fragrant and strong,
flowers' radiant lights and sweet perfumes
Revealing the marvellous soul of the world.
Tranquil joy looking deep into Nature's eyes,
A wisdom of sun and water, earth and wind,
An artist of nature's glorious harmonies, 
A seer of life's radiant play with death,
A Knower of its miraculous destinies -
Harmoniser between man and nature,
He is the Lover one with nature's heart.

He sees, in an electric white-blue radiance,
an ancient figure, calm and wide-visioned,
Armed with the sovereign and seeing might of Mind :
A high force of an illimitable Plane,
A luminous driver of massive energies,
A grasp of power, a compelling force of truth,
A sceptre of Thought commanding the cosmos,
Empowering man to seize the springs of nature.
He wears the royal robe of transcendent mind.
He is the lightning charioted Thought of science,
A knowledge sea of algorithmic genius,
A seer of the laws governing the planes:
The whirling dance of matter's phantom sparks,
The evolution and flame patterns of life,
The luminous powers and seas of cosmic mind.
His Light one with the cosmic rhythms
a sight rotating equations multifarious
In a flaming bliss of sight and lucid joy.
High and austere, a fire of askesis
A sovereign and disciplined will of vision,
A creative net of lightning born from Above,
Meticulous in grand conception,
Mad in its waves and flames of ideas whirling,
careful in inventive construction,
A wild fission and fusion of forces,
He is the radiant creator of the Supreme.


Number's potencies and universal laws,
The multifarious properties of line and plane,
Logic-forged architecture revealed in light,
A view of the inevitable relations,
Blissfully clear in the pure white sight
Of the grandmaster of divine theorems,
the king of arcane austerity.
One with the occult mathematical Mind,
That greater reality, world architect,
The conductor of the music of the spheres,
The flame net Spirit of shining beauty,
The formative potencies unifying quantity and quality,
Where number and figure are the keys to all.
Around he sees the metered play of chance,
The ordered rhythms of chaos' dance,
The high seer lines and planes of vivid truth,
The symbol songs of luminous number,
The ineffable play of infinitudes,
The symphonies of truth bathed in Logic's flame.
He peers into problems insoluble,
His concentration absolute, invincible -
His lightning unravelling their hidden knots,
His royal precise touch, infallible.


Ocean white wisdom, mountainous and still,
Son of Knowledge, the  elder philosopher and
Mighty one who sails the seas of thought
Capturing myriad Ideas in nets of knowing,
flame nets of ordered truth spanning infinity.
A glance that catches a universe of thought,
a bliss and flame of ideal vision,
Clear sight which reigns in lucent meditation,
He is the tower of white fire and far sight.
He sees the Knowledge and its inner flame,
He probes the high mysteries of the Good,
Imbibe the marvels of the Beautiful,
Climbs the flaming peaks of the Truth.
His thoughts echoing in the fields of sleep,
King seer of highest Self and Being,
The aloof immortal silence of the One,
Withdrawn in omniscient sleep above time,
The eternal, unmoving base of the Dance.
Knower of the transcendence beyond,
Still and silent concentration's Fire,
Unveiling the omnipotence and being,
The sleeping Joy behind the whirling worlds,
A universe of starless ecstasy.
He is the philosopher seer who incarnates
highest Truths in webs of intricate thought.
Mighty gaze unifying a million theories,
He puts the All in one, the One in all.
