HOW THE AWEFUL CRANK STARTED THE MOTOR OF HOLY DELUSION






It all began
From the very Beginning
When the End had not begun...
And it all took place
where our Ancestors took form...

In the mysty unformed Spore of All Being Void
the silent voice did utter the initial
thunderbolt of Meaning.

But grasp its own utterance it did not,
for as it was without limb nor organ,
It was but a Thought of Nothing,
perhaps not even a Nought.

What then swirled unwilled upon itself
in unmotivated ideation was the Realization
of Potential Self-Awareness.

Being without compartment or mental structure,
It was not a Process. Nor was it a Cause.
Nor an Effect. Nor an Energy Form.
For even Abstract Energy takes the form of
Action or Passion.

Being sentient in itself and conscious of
Its being, it was totally baffled... confused...
and excited.

BUT... WAS IT ALIVE?

Not exactly.
Then was it dead?
Of course not.
Well, was it at all, at least?
No, It wasn't but It is.

Is WHAT?
That which Is, Was, Has Been & Will Be...
Huh?
IT WAS A QUESTION.
IT WAS A QUEST.
IT WAS A QUEEN.

However, having no Queendom (or even a King)
She ached for a Subject. And the ache transmuted
the mysty unformed Spore into a Primordial Egg.
Her Object was the creation of Subject.
And when the Subjective Egg was fertilized
by the pleasure of its selfdeemed procreation,
It hatched into a Fullness
to fill the All Being Void.

That Fullness declared the Voidness null;
the Voidness accommodated the Fullness
and was not filled!
For the More that was materialized,
the Less was the Formless unpatterned.

And the Unpatterned grew unto Itself
and developed Immensity.
And this Immensity was neither Large nor Small...
but IMMENSE! And Immensity was a Sense of
Unfulfillable Void - a Sensation of
Indomitable Vacuity.

And while the Vacuity was vacuously silent,
the Fullness of Sense was surrounded by its own Sound:
the Sound of Information born of
the Uninformed & Unimagined Silence.
