The Dilemma and Healing of Apocalypse

This work is a "Rosetta Stone", to unveil the entire phenomenon of apocalypse, so we can finally come to terms with it, in a reckoning that includes both the tortured religious history and the complex cosmological and biological science our world-view now encompasses. Although it is daunting in its complexity, it has an outcome that is so world-transforming towards resplendent paradise on Earth, that there is no other work in existence that can have such bounteous potential. The reader needs to have patience and persistence to seek to unfold its full ramifications, for it is the Resplendence Codex, reflowering the immortal Tree of Life.

We are living in a world in which human impact on the living habitats and climate of the planet on a vast scale is becoming ever more severe, taking us towards a tipping point that could both threaten our long-term survival as a species and will certainly cause a mass extinction of the diversity of life. At the same time as the covers have well and truly been thrown off reality by the scientific and technological revolution that is sweeping the planet, religious forces with an avowed agenda of world domination are fomenting violence in the name of the one true God. In the name of Islam, believers are committing genocide, mass beheadings, sexual slavery and other inhuman actions, taking us right back to the tribal law of the seventh century, while innocent people are being blown apart by Islamic 'martyrs' in the vain hope of seeing the face of al-Llah in paradise, with 72 black-eyed virgins at one's beck and call. In the Christian sphere, in slavish adherence to the Sabbatical Creation, people continue to deny the natural evolution of life in anticipation of a "late planet Earth" rapture in the heavens. Amid this turmoil, we still have the insecurity of enough nuclear weapons of mass destruction to devastate the planet, should they become unleashed.

Whether we are religious and believe in a day of judgment, or are simply people trying to look to a sustainable world, where our offspring and those of society around us can have the confidence to survive, we have to acknowledge that we are living in a very troubled world, where the future remains uncertain and where potential violence and tumult burgeon. We thus need urgently to come to terms with why we are living in this state, in a world which would otherwise be capable of sustaining a perpetual paradise, how we got ourselves into this dire situation, and how to find the way through to a soft-landing outcome that does protect the generations of life from the tumultuous threats that humanity has wrought upon the world.

The word apocalypse is both a beacon and a plague to the human consciousness. It is our destination in the final awakening in the end of days and it is the feverish fantasy that leads countless people to commit violence and genocide in the name of the rule of God, from the Muslim Caliphate to the Heavenly Jerusalem, with the Jewish Mashiach, the Parousia of the Second Coming of Christ and the Mahdi of the Shi'ities playing the role of healing, or avenging, hero in the piece. We can love it and hate it. We can try to ignore it, but it keeps creeping up on us as a fascinating and terrifying vision, no matter how much, in the interests of common sense, protecting the sanctity of life, we try to set it aside, so here is a key unraveling to come to terms with it, to understand its roots in our existential condition and how we can turn the tide of misfortune and the tumult of genocide into a new epoch of paradise under the banner of the Tree of Life - hidden since the foundation of the world.

Revelation

Revelation

I am resurrected! I have ascended!
I am transfigured, I am redeemed sufficient unto the day thereof,
to bring some consolation to a very troubled world.
Jesus, you are tired - please just come down from that cross.
It's time for an end to all the blood, to the death, the guilt and remorse.
I am a phoenix from the ashes. A new man of the Morning Star,
A feathery serpent of two ways now, the Lord of both dark and light.

I am resurrected! I have ascended!
Life has given me another day, living here on a borrowed fate,t
o do the things that were left undone, before it's all just too late,
Freed from the past, hurtling into an uncertain future,
on a mission of salvation, to give back what we owe.
For all the glory of this life, for all its pain and agony,
let's make this world a better place, where we can all find sanctuary

I am resurrected! I have ascended!
I was clutched into the jaws of death, but the old grim reaper spat me out,
so I have the chance to run another round, and discover what its all about.
I am here to love the world all over, and help turn crisis into survival,
for all the living creatures who scuttle upon this Earth,
for all the finny fishes, for the forests and their dappled trees,
for the birds that fly up in the sky, and human beings like you and me.

I am resurrected! I have ascended!
We are here to make the world anew in an all-too fleeting existence,
suspended between birth and annihilation, suffering and strife.
Not just in the halls of the rich and famous, and the corridors of power,
but those clinging on to life in the ghettos, and the refugees of war.
The only way we can find redemption, is to give our very heart and soul,
to the flowering of the living planet, our golden shining love-bird goal.

Finale

This is the hour of Resurrection! It is the time of Ascension! It is our Transfiguration!
It is our very own true Redemption! It is our Salvation!
This is our consummating Unveiling! It is our Revelation!

The Delphic Oracle Sings a Lullaby

Here is the mp3 link to my latest musical production Sleepwalkers Awakening about enlightenment, immortality, genocide and the restoration.  Hence it's truly a Delphic Oracle song ...

Sleepwalker's Awakening

I've been sitting here thinking that the world is turning,

round and round, spinning threads, shifting sands, drifting in the wind

day after day goes by, nights come rolling round in slumber

dreaming of the inevitable time of awakening,

forgetting in our illusions, the times that are hurtling by.

Caught in the miasma, it's hard to take a breath of air

to find the inspiration to step off the merry go round.

But what is the hidden lesson that the wheel of birth and death can teach us?

What is the meaning and purpose of this all-too-giddy plight,

running helter-skelter from one carousel to another,

pretending that the bright lights are the key to immortal life,

loving like there's no tomorrow, and never an end in sight?

Can we catch our breath and be, even for a moment,

to see if we can see the future forming before our eyes? 

We have been treading an endless road together,

travelers on a journey from end to end of time

Is there some kind of secret door we can exit the hall of mirrors

and find our way in the wilderness beyond the trackless wastes of time,

hearing the silences between the sounds, perceiving beyond appearances,

falling into eternity, existing in the very instant,

full complete and abundant, radiating the light of life.

We know we are creatures of flesh and blood, of biological origins

evolving sexual beings, of sensual experience,

living in a living world, with every kind of organism,

species coexisting in the tangled web of generation,

creatures of the grasslands, the forests, the wetlands and seas.

This is a lament, for so many facing extinction,

in a crime against humanity, that is a genocide of life.

Can we find the resolve, to safeguard the living planet

as guardians of the diversity, upon which we all depend?

Can we look beyond our self-absorbing visions 

of domination, of conquest, of ascendency and war?

Can we embrace the spirit of love that brings together one and all?

This is a song of hope, in the face of catastrophe

a tricky little lullaby to calm the waters of strife.

We each come from the perennial web, unbroken since the dawn of time,

in which every generation has given life to the next.

Can we find the courage, to reflower reality,

to open up the floodgates, to the epoch of paradise?

In a time of so much promise, of cosmological discovery,

the very last thing our generations need is a planetary mass demise.

So let's just do the one very good thing for the sanctity of life.
