humanism for the layman

i'm just a humanist freak
hopelessly trapped
in a culture of God speak
so that's their tactic
they'll find i too
can speak in didactic

did you ever want to speak out
and freak out so hard
you forgot to mind
what came out of your mouth?
never admonish me
when i speak in honesty
honestly!

forget psychotherapy
i need an icepick lobotomy
i need electro convulsions
to curb these compulsions
forget the technician
call me an electrician
now i'm on a mission
they may call it fiction
until they feel the friction

they'll flee when they see the kundalini
then try to rise up higher
just to see me
enter the caduceus
a snake on a stake
from the old testament
symbolizing rejuvenation
for all of creation

the force of evolution
compells us to start a revolution
by the power of imagination
flowing through us
like the holy spirit
then a single flame
starts to blaze
engulfing all
who'll dare come near it

nothing i've tried
has made the flame inside subside
so i'll do what i must
to enlighten, inspire

and cleanse this earth in holy fire*


*Kinds of fire. Soul and Spirit came into being from fire and water.
From water and fire and light came the attendant
in the bridal chamber.
Fire is chrism. Light is fire. I am not referring to flame,
which has no form, but to another kind of fire
whose appearance is white,
which is luminous and beautiful
and gives beauty.

A brazen serpent

The LORD said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

De gustibus non est disputandum my dear


The clown in his freedom stands outside ordinary consciousness and beyond the confines of social conventions, sacred taboos, and rational enclosures. And the fool is essentially beyond the law, whether the moral law or societal law or the law of reason, which can mean not only prior to the law, or over against the law, but actually transcending the law. The clown and fool, by occupying an ambiguous space between the holy and the unholy, good and evil, wisdom and ignorance, reason and nonsense, are particularly suited to this task of pointing beyond all such distinctions, both backward to the time before them and forward to the time that lies after them. The clown's ability to garble all distinctions, and the fool's inability to make proper distinctions, prevision the sage's capacity for moving beneath and beyond discrimination and duality.

Both the serpent and the cross were sacred to the Druids as well who made the former by cutting off all the brances of an oak tree and fastening one of them to the main trunk in the form of the letter "T"

"Their temples wherein the sacred fire was preserved were generally situate on eminences and in dense forest groves of oak, and assumed various forms--circular, because a circle was the emblem of the universe; oval, in allusion to the mundane egg, from which issued, according to the traditions of many nations, the universe, or according to others, our first parents; serpentine, because a serpent was a symbol of Hu, the Druidic Osiris; cruciform, because a cross is an emblem of regeneration; or winged, to represent the motion of the Divine spirit***Their chief deities were reducible to two--a male and a female, the great father and mother--Hu and Ceridwen, distinguished by the same characteristics as belong to Osiris and Isis, Bacchus and Ceres, or any other supreme god and goddess representing the two principles of all being.
