Retraction into Kether
OSSOMANCER
PART I: Dissolutive Desolation
Kether is the first, from which all Spheres proceed;
The Primum Mobile configurated with blankest of light
Inherently, a definable drift must differentiate;
Emanations of bipartite power and process
Yet a cycle will draw to dissolution
Omnipresence must meet its “positron”
Omniscience must return to Chnouphis
Omnipotence must undergo retraction
Within Binah expansion becomes locked;
The eviscerator for stabilization
Yet when equipoised weight is faltered,
Static totality siphons the universe
Will is displaced into first intent
Understanding is dissolved as a sole compound
Reason is disintegrated to the simple
Substance is dissipated from many to one
The fire of action is withdrawn to the source
The water of reaction is inapt to restrict
The air of intellect is asleep in torpor
The earth of matter is riven in reset
Outward from Chokmah impulse emits;
A flowing force for ever-expansion
Yet in imbalance with a destroyer,
Unsuppressed dynamism straightens to its root
Cosmos in a state of Absolute Motion
Ideal to be engulfed in a Great Inhalation;
Manifestation and Actual will submit
In tonic Exhalation, worlds are cast anew
The seal of the Seventh Aeon heralds rebirth
Omnificence must sleep in encasement
Omnitude must drown in whirling waters
Omnifariousness must decompose
PART II: Creative Convergence
“O Kematef, eternal blazing serpent,
Demiurgical intellect of All-Wisdom
O Kematef, ophiomorphic spark,
May you become the Hidden One!”
The Egg: a primordial point in infinite yet generative waters
Impregnated by airy nous, the principle is staged for consciousness
Incubated by the fiery Horned Serpent, fiery phallicism forces genesis
From the yolk dawns entitative substance subordinate to cosmic laws
“O Suhet, position of rebirth,
Whose albumen is creation’s matrix
O Suhet, of immortal series,
May you hatch the gods!”
PART III: Regenerative Rebirth
