The Sword & The Word
A miasma began to pervade across
a cohesion of clouds -
Neither hostile nor peaceful
nor frenzied or restful
Just…
Nucleator cells of dust -
awaiting the apprehension of the pieces
and the parts
That make up the story of the ramparts
rising in the defense
of the self
Against
The repetition of the story of human history -
in its glorious vainglory...
And in moments such as these -
there are only two victories…
These being:
victory by one’s own hand
&
victory via the universe
I believe.
You see:
you can take action
or
allow the formulation
Action=The Sword
Formulation=The Word
&
The word is as powerful -
as the sword is necessary.
To wield the sword requires wisdom -
lest ye perish at the fine line of precision at the divide between flesh and spirit.
Most of the time
I find
The universe speaks
in words of light - On the darkest night
as darkness seeks
To cancel the soul – Outright.
O Beauty
I have known your name
I have known your face
In a most difficult time
In a most treacherous place

Author's Note
My belief is that if you opt to act on an individual basis, then you set into motion something like a karmic wave? However if you allow "the universe" to act on your accord, then... a different sort of wave comes about, perhaps. I was just thinking of these things. Reflecting.

Very similar to Crowleys concept of true will, the central tenet of Thelemic doctrine.
"Every man and woman is a star. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the Law, Love under Will."
The second and third parts of the statement are presented as a salutation of call and response to be spoken upon the meeting of any two Thelemists.
(And a tangential link, just because... https://www.britannica.com/topic/Baphomet )
