| As I was walking among the fires of Hell
|
| Delighted with the enjoyments of genius
|
| Which to angels look like torment and insanity
|
| I collected some of their proverbs
|
| Thinking that as sayings use the nation markets character
|
| So the proverbs of Hell show the nature of Infernal Wisdom
|
| Better than any description of buildings or garments
|
| When I came home on the abyss of the five senses
|
| For a flat-sided steep frowns over the present world
|
| I saw a mighty temple form in the black clouds hovering on the sides of a rock
|
| With groaning fires he wrote the following sentence now Percieved by the minds
|
| of men and read by them on Earth
|
| How do you know what every bird that cuts the airy wind
|
| Is an immense world of the light closed by our senses five?
|
| Vrta roars and shakes his fires of the burning air
|
| Hungry clouds spying on the deep
|
| One speak, and in a perilous path
|
| But just a man attempt its course alone
|
| The veil of death
|
| Roses are planted where thorns grow in the barren hate
|
| Sing the honeybees and the perilous path is granted
|
| On every cliff and tomb and on the bleached bones Vanclae brought forth
|
| O, my Dark Brothers, as a new heaven has begun
|
| And it is now thirty-three years into tembience
|
| The eternal Hell revise
|
| I cried to the dark angel sleeping in the tomb
|
| His writings in the linen clothes folded up
|
| Now is the winning of Jedom
|
| And the return of Adam into paradise
|
| Without contraries there is no progression
|
| Attraction and repulsion
|
| Reason and energy
|
| Love and hate
|
| Are necessary to human existence
|
| From these contraries bring what the religious call «good» and «evil»
|
| Good is the passive that obeys reason
|
| Evil is the active springing from energy
|
| Good is heaven, evil is Hell
|
| All listen to the voice of the devil
|
| As all bibles and sacred tomes have put their causes in the following heirs
|
| That man has two real existing principles
|
| A body and a soul
|
| And that energy called evil is alone from the body and that reason called good
|
| is alone from the soul
|
| That God will torment man in Eternity for following his energies
|
| But the following contraries to these are true
|
| Man has no body distinct from his soul
|
| For that called body is a portion of soul discerned by the five senses
|
| The cheap and lesser soul of this age
|
| Energy is the only life that is from the body
|
| And reason is the bound or the outward circumference of energy
|
| All behold, our energy is the eternal delights
|
| Those who restrain desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained
|
| And the restrainor or reasoner userps his place that governs the unwilling
|
| And being restrained into dreams becomes passive
|
| Until is only a shadow of desire
|
| And the original archangel
|
| The possesser of the command of the heavenly host
|
| Is called the devil or Satan
|
| And his children are called sin and death
|
| It indeed appeared to reason as if desire was cast out
|
| But the true account is that the messiah fell
|
| And formed a heaven of what he stole from the Abyss
|
| This is shown in the gospel
|
| Murray prays to the Father set in the comforner
|
| Or desire that reason may have ideas to build on
|
| The Jehova the bible being no other than he who dwells in flaming fire
|
| All must know that after Christ’s death, he became Jehova
|
| The Father is destiny, the son a ratio of the five senses
|
| And the Holy Ghost nothing more than a vacuum
|
| Prisons are built with stones of the law
|
| Brothels with bricks of religion
|
| The cry of the peacock is the Glory of God
|
| The lust of the goat is the Bounty of God
|
| The wrath of the lion is the Wisdom of God
|
| The nakedness of woman is the work of God
|
| The roaring of lions
|
| The howling of wolves
|
| The raging of the stormy sea
|
| And the destructive sword
|
| Are portions of eternity too great for the eye of man |
