Even At The Doors

So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors

The Vision of my Vision devises, even unto the desert     The Vision of my Vision cracks Karakoram, even unto the canopy     Vision as a viper vines blood red blood hevel to the Field, and I as a brother hook my harpoon into the hip, hilton of my coven, a visitor to Christina     Christina catch me in your clutches     I climb your camel branches and breakcurrent, hill hopping your body     I hope in your body     I hope in your body as hosts     I hunt your body your landscape as hopscotch, the scrape and scratch of Saboath    Your body sounds sorcery, the train industrial incarnation    Body births Body     Christina body births Christ body and I embody the comb of Christianity     I crane a child of Christianity     Christ meets me as a Mother     The Logos linseeds light as a lady and the seed somber and subtle skirt its scales as a serpent     The Christ Lady descends from suspension, and I attach to her umbral shadow through an umbilical unction      Oil matters manner the sign of the cross and savior of the Trinity     Threes in thought and threes in Taryn, the throng telemetry hardening in heat     Son sun soars seers the serum, a gnosis against all sin, and a child of Christ is a child of Seth    A child of Christina grants the generation without a King     Adonai with anarchy     Saboath with Sabbath, the sacred silence of Creation     Manifest the manner of Magick     Meld mind and medium to the intention of incarnation, the nest that numbers Pythagorean prayer     I pray the melt into male     I play the mass into male and female, the minister of the manger that masted Christ       The jaw java vision Jesus joving volcanoes and the ash aches archaic     The prayer pointillist pinpricks the past and Jesus shepherds as a Shaman       Jesus anoints as an artist and architect     Christ consecrates the creeping cove of Creation, and every plant cures     Every plant paints prayer     I pray ritual and rock crystal     I pray the medium mineral and the manner mystical, a quartz Christ crisis in my Christianity

Me and Asia
:  You know I have been struggling with my Christianity although for different reasons
:  What reasons?
:  I feel like my faith has outgrown the confines of Christianity.  It feels more plural now, although Christianity since the beginning has been plural.
:  There isn’t anything wrong with that.  The thing I said about cathedrals, cathedrals were magnificent beautiful buildings built specifically to invoke awe.  People were supposed to walk in and be so overwhelmed by the wealth and beauty of the place that there wasn’t any doubt they were in a holy place.  But it was still a man-made building.  And it housed man-made hierarchies and ideologies.  We are still building cathedrals but they don’t actually house god.  They house our ideas of god.  They will always be limiting.  I felt the same way when I was in church.  
:  I see.  You are right, I think.
:  I think you are a good influence on the congregation you interact with.  But I don’t think of ‘The Church’ as all there is.  I want to be like Walt Whitman when he called himself untranslatable, when he claimed that we as individuals are ourselves infinite.  We are the temples.  We are the cathedrals, and we are made beautiful.  I feel like you are looking for something too concrete.  What you are looking for can’t be grasped.

Me and Elizabeth
:  Wrote a page and half just this hour.  I imagined a mountain sitting in both sea and desert and I ascended the mountain and I encountered Yahweh as both Samael and Saklas.  These two were part of my souls, part of myself.  Then a voice accused me of being a charlatan, a fool, and fraud.  So I stripped my clothes and stripped myself of all gods and goddesses, and I found myself floating with the angels and with the stars guiding me.  My body became gigantic, and I became a macrocosm instead of a microcosm, and I became pregnant with the pleroma, and gave birth to the Divine Feminine.
:  Wow, that blows my mind.  I might have to call you Prophet Ben
:  Well this will sound really weird but I have talked to Ann Marie and my Spiritual Director about that description in regards to my writing.
:  Ah yes, the Muse.  She comes in different forms to us all directing us to inspiration.  But sometimes if you’re lucky you’ll hear a divine voice guiding you.  There have been times when I’ve been touched by ti whatever it is.  It’s powerful and terrifying.
:  Yes!  I have had mystical experience a la Phiip K Dick or William Blake or Carl Jung.  I’m going through a spiritual transformation process now and I’m both fearful and curious.
:  My advice through this process is to lean into the fear.  Trying to push it aside will only make it hard to move forward.  The fear will help you to refrain from being too risky with your curiosity.  So soak it in.  fell and claim every emotion with perfect trust in yourself and in the divine and spirit.

Asia and Me
:  You seem to find splendor in tearing yourself apart
:  Is it an evil vision then?
:  No, it’s not evil.
:  Maybe this is all a product of my bipolar mind.
:  Even if it is, it’s still a way for you to translate yourself, to translate the world you live in, to make sense of it all.  It is something that is wholly yours and it’s priceless.  Nothing in this world is solid or guaranteed.  Things have value because we give it value, things have meaning because we give it meaning.  That doesn't mean it lacks meaning or value: it means others can’t decide for us.  
:  I wanted it to have meaning for yours though, my writing.
:  What makes you think it doesn’t?
:  I feel if it doesn’t come from the Divine for me, it won’t come from the Divine for others.
:  You have 100 followers on your blog and lots of people seem to resonate with your writing.  I know you want to be able to split yourself open, dissect yourself and be able to hold the pieces in your hand and say, ‘this part is divine’ and ‘this part is human’ and sort them in neat little piles.  I know you want to present to people only the divine.  But you can’t do that.  Jesus could t even (or at least didn’t want to).  The human and divine are intertwined.

If You Fast, You Will Bring Sin Upon Yourselves

Book of Concealment, a Book Balanced On Scales

It has been taught:  the Book of Concealment, a book balanced on scales

I teach, and the teaching teaches me     I teach and the teaching triplicates Taryn, woman and woman and woman     Teaching testifies and interrupts, a rupture of the plasticity of Flesh, and Flesh as a stature status stature stokes Fire      Fire imprints the letters      Fire burns the basics of the Book     Fire flashes the basis of the Book      Book begins the Library      Book already brings and blesses the library      The Library lies, the deceit of the loom      Library targets the restoration resurrection, and its lie lights tangles and tango, the troubling taste of truth and lie       The salacious sample of the knowledge of good and evil       Simple gnosis knotted to nous as a net, and my cryptic Christianity captured its cores       My Crypto-Christianity keeps in concealment the Krystal caravans, and I nomad from Book to Book, and Word to word, the wash and web of a single Woman      She conceals and reveals      She opens archaic apocalypse and revelation      She emanates the moments of the monad and singularities of the sefirot      Woman balances Benjamin as a Book on scales      KRYSXTRYN balances Benjamin as a Book bellowing the vector vision and vision victory      Balance balasts and blasts the lance wounding and healing      Balance behests baleen the great whales worshipping woman at the edges      scales scope the scalp of the spirit      Scales scratch the skin of the Spirit      Scales fall from the eyes of Blind Benjamin and I set Christ-Christina in Vision

I gather the gods into my garden        I gather the gods to the footstool of the throne

Gather to a new Gospel: Gather to a New God or gods     The Divine twins twines as a typhoon     I draw Judgment, the Queen of Swords, and the Fool: New Gospel and New God, but the Godhead gathers through the talking thunder      the tesseract Taryn       Trinity Tetratyl      New Directions by Benjamin Nucum      The laughing London jazz scene      I gather myself to the Gospel According to Saint Mark: the mark of the Beast (beastly Benjamin and baphomet Benjamin) and the Seal of God: the spell and seal of Her, Spirit Shekinah Sophia, Benjamin-Barbelo
Gathering in the stones, Gathering in the stones
The stones strop shiny and bright, gathering in the stones
I gather myself to the Gospel according to Saint Mark, and the communion of the saints sear seer torrential, the attack of angels     an aether of angels, wheel upon wheel scattering sorcery      the forward flash of the four winds      the alphabet of angels, wheel in a wheel shattering systems of oppression, the phantom foundation of the four winds     Wind wests the elect       Wind torments the elect, the laceration of lamentations

I interrupt this portion of gospel; I rupture this parsha of Book.  The text troubles me, or I am a slave to the text.  I am a slave to the gospel, but I want good tidings Kingdom.  I want good news and freedom to roam the wilderness of text and the desert of Book.  Let the Gospel be desert and rainstorm: let the good tidings be wilderness and monsoon.  Flood my flesh with the Feminine: swarm my soul with Sophia.

One of the landmarks of jazz improvisation came from saxophonist Coleman Hawkins’ recording of Johnny Green’s Body and Soul in 1939.  Instead of playing the melody then soloing, Hawkins states the melody for about 4 bars and went on a long intricate exploration of the chord changes for the rest of the verse and another one . Disliked by the general public at the time, Hawkins’ solo is considered an evolutionary leap and a defining factor in modern jazz improvisation.

I have to find a new way to improvise over the chord changes and melody: I must find a novel method of extemporaneous freedom over the texts and themes.  I listen to Body and Soul – I immerse in Body and Soul – Body and Soul, baptize me – Body and Soul, pour on me your chrism – Body and Soul, mingle with me in your Bridal Chamber.  Explore, Benjamin – take the texts to the limits and boundaries and exceed them.  Improvise, Benjamin – take the texts to heaven and hell, and that energy exotic exudes the earth of Eucharist.

Four winds:  Flesh of Woman, Flesh from my side, my Mother and Physician, my Zoe and Eva, and she evolves into eucastrophe and eucharist    Four winds:  Fountain-Furnace whipping water underneath the Godhead, and she hedges her hold over the surface of my skull, a Thelonious Monk solo      Criss-cross rhythmic rhythm, start-stop protofunk and dance in sidesteps and stutters     stretch music scorching four winds whistling our hundred and forty four thousand
Improvise Earth: improvise Heaven: improvise Hell     Inerrant Earth plucks a rose for my ego: Earth uninterruptible reeks of my fool and folly     The fool lanes cliff clutch Krystal and I leap ladder and light     I leap ladder and light to the lack of faith, by faith to faith (thirteen deer     thirteen eagles     thirteen white houses     thirteen rainbows)     The Fool enters Earth, explosively raw depths      The fool turns with Earth ebb and echo, an acid murmur ergot, Heaven and Hell heal as a nurse shaman and nurse artist     Heaven and Hell hem holy the train to the throne, Earth depths ecstatic     Heaven devotes divine office, the chanting of hymns in vision, Hell levels the lark lizard, the lantern light loosened from the locks      Locks lake the gliss glowing grandiose, and Hellmaw moats its mouth      Hell mourning mows in the murk, a waster whisp wisp wing floating

Dick wrote about the experiences, first in the semi-autobiographical novel Radio Free Albemuth and then in VALIS, the Divine Invasion, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer, and the unfinished Owl in Daylight

:  I saw this and thought about the possibility that I exaggerate the place of our friendship in your life.
:  Why?
:  You’re important to me.  I write about you.  But I wonder by doing that, it creates an imbalance in how each of us views our friendship.
:  It kinda upset me when you asked that because I thought, am I not doing enough?

I write about the experiences      I write the experience and the experiences extract itself from experience: the many from the one      The many pages from the one (Infinite To Be cannot be infinite; Infinite Anti-To Be cradles the infinite     Infinite regression     Infinite cancellation     Infinite crosses crossing out     Infinite I am and I am not     I write not and I write, infinite canceling infinity (undefinable     I write Asia Rain, infinite possums surrounding her abeyance, and Asia heirs the power of hallucination     I write Asia Rain, pregnant with infinite possibilities, and she sews together signs, the groan of the gospel      I write the novel novel annihilating my name      I write the new novel and novel navel adjudicating autobiography, and Asia assists in my pickering Asia works her weaveworld and womanword, and speaks the spell of language

The recording is unusual in that the song’s melody is only hinted at in the recording; Hawkins’ two choruses of improvisation over the tune’s chord progression constitute almost the entire take.  Because of this, as well as the imaginative use of harmony and break from tradition swing cliches, the recording is recognized as part fo the early tremors of bebop.

I hint at her; I hint history and hungry hours     I hint at the melody mediator and mediatrix, and she merges my mind with mind       She merges my mind mathematics and alphabet, and I pip at the alpines, a Spirit ski skirt cross country cross dressing       I dress the melody      I drop the melody and dress momento mori      The melody manipulates my mind: the melody matures my male, and I do not mask the masculine but mirror it by mescaline and mushrooms, the feminine hallucination and angel aura      The melody directs and dictates: the melody dances determination, Benjamin determined to be a prophet      I record the rests and remainders; I reason with space and silence     The space opens the chord progression, and each chord cracks crumbles crackles, the snap of the snare drum

And then he shall send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds

Me and Asia
:  I feel discouraged about the state of the world.
:  Any particular reasons why?
:  Just reading the news and all the violence happening.  I feel helpless to change anything about it.  I think about what Marx said:  ‘Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.’  Is my writing merely interpreting the world in various ways or changing it?
:  You are underestimating the power of stories.  Connecting people together changes the world.  There is power in realizing we are not islands.  It’s true, we are small creatures, but we are never meant to take on the world alone.
:  I will think about what you said.
:  You better.  I am very smart.
:  That made me smile, in a good way.
:  I cannot be stopped.

 I wouldn’t even put up a fight
 I wouldn’t care if you took it all away today
 I’m sure I wouldn’t even miss the pain)

Then the Angels surround me      Then the Angels name me
Then the Angels number me        Then the Angels flashing their sword spiraling

Angels grip the gulf between: the tongue trapping Earth and Heaven, Elohim and Yahweh Elohim      Angels gust the gorge beyond: the birth bursting beginning AND Elohim and the birth barging the gods from the underworld to the surface      Angels swarm the surface      Angels swallow the surface      I listen to Nick Cave and the Bad Seed’s Into My Arms: I don’t believe in the existence of angels but looking at you I wonder if that’s true, sings Nick Cave     I don’t know if I believe in the existence of angels, but angels erupt in my apartment     Angels blow glass unicorns and the horns pierce through my ceiling      Exploring angels explode into star stuff and celestial carnage
