The Hermetical Alchemist (Secret Knowledge)

This poem holds "Secret Knowledge" you will not understand in one reading. To become initiated in the Universal laws......READ AGAIN AND AGAIN!

All is one but the truth is seven.
The Alchemist takes the steps to heavens door.
The principles and universal law unfolds.

Gender! Manifested in the physical plane - sex!
Creation generation regeneration.
Mental spiritual lustful.

Cause and effect! Chance is but a name.
Pawns on the chess board of life?
Or causation on a higher plane!

Rhythm! The pendulum swings.
The tides go in and out.
Measured in motion, the action & reaction

Polarity!! Everything is dual.
As opposites in a mirror.
Hot & Cold poles apart of the same paradox.

Vibration! Energy of spirit.
The smallest atom to an entire universe.
Its all in motion! It never stops to rest!

Correspondence! As above so below.
Another complex paradox.
A key to mental transformation.

Mentalism! One and all the same.
Unknowable undefinable infinite.
Welcome to the path of mastery!

I lay before you pearls of wisdom.
The truth lies within.
Mystery???

This is complex to say the least. i am trying to decipher each stanza, but I think the complexity is the point here. One in all the same? Underlining different sides of of spirituality? Or the universe in which we live. The bigger picture, yet we are in existence .. I could be off here. I did read this over and over as suggested by you :)
The mystery of what lies ahead, the complexity of life? A truth within ourselves?
Oh John, this is a wonderful write, and you have me pondering on this.... In which I may have to come back to....

Ohh I had forgotten about this poem am glad I got reminded about it on my feed. As I was going to print it off and frame it on my wall. (with your permission of course).

"The lips of wisdom are closed,
except to the ears of Understanding" Isn't that right John?

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Yes Mark no problem.

[lothlorienwriter]

Masterpiece of hermetical thought.

Cause and effect! Chance is but a name.
Pawns on the chess board of life?
Or causation on a higher plane!

My fav stanza of a great poem. The hidden secret of the numbers adds to the Mystery! Will read this time and time again.

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

[Pax]

now this is really much deep for science is out of my league.
poetry induce with science, i have to re-read it again yet

[zainul]

Reading your advice I got ready to read the poem again and again.
So,I left the chair and took my medicines for diabetes and hypertension for the night.Then I have read it twice.
Seven truths have been written in nine stanzas all composed of three lines.
I became enlightened by the pearls of wisdom.
Did not want to dissect any part,yet could not restrain the inner urge to quote the one:
"Polarity!! Everything is dual.
As opposites in a mirror.
Hot & Cold poles apart of the same paradox."
Congratulations,John!!!

The 7 , 9 and the 3 Well Done and well spotted Zainul ....Ive added to my list of poems to do......a poem about those numbers!!! Watch this space!

[zainul]

Thank you, John for taking my test.
I wonder how I passed in numerical things!
I am too weak in mathematics.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

We are dwelling in the Infinite mind of the all, and your own mind is unknowable and undefinable, I bet you will be happy to get well and visit the path of mastery.........

[Ghost of Jupiter]

[Ruby I. Nightingale]

This poem is divine. Poetry is such a wonderful to express life's enigmas, spiritual mysteries and emotional roller coasters. You have a great way of expressing those things in your work. Bravo!

[John Phoenix Hutchinson.]

Thanks Ruby......i just noticed a bad mistake though :) Which am just about to correct I wrote "pawns on the cheese board of life!".....better change it to chess PDQ :)

[Ruby I. Nightingale]

It is a good thing you noticed. When I write on my Ipod it will auto change words it thinks I am spelling. Which leads to funny mistakes like that.
