[* At this point I must apologize for two things; one being the tardiness of this posting, and the other the format itself. The following represents my notes as is, from my visit to the sphere. I hope to edit them and make it a bit more comprehensive]

⊕March 14, 2003:
I am sitting in a coffee shop, next door to the art supply store where I had just been shopping. Out of boredom, I take 2 of the creamers for my coffee and pour them into a Styrofoam cup. I look at the various inks I have purchased for my art and take out the emerald green and poor a few drops into the milk. Amused by the swirls, I take out the gold metallic ink and add a few drops. Then, an olive color. I find myself thinking about the significance of March 14th; the equation of π, and as I found earlier, the birthday of Albert Einstein (Who said upon his death bed, ‘I should have been a plumber.’) I laugh when I notice the time I write these words: 1:59:26 pm. Bringing the equation to full as 3/14 1:59:26. I look across the road, breaking the gaze from my inky brew, to notice a full size poster of the prism, illustrated on the Dark Side of the Moon album cover by Pink Floyd. That is when I slip in.
⊕ [It should be noted that for the duration, I find myself in two places at the same time. One, grounded here in “The Real”, interacting with friends and family, while the “etheric/astral” self, I guess, the best description, immersed in the sphere of Netzach. This was my first time ever utilizing the tree this way; as an actual travel aid, a wormhole into the emanation]
⊕ The transition to this place was one of ease and hardly noticed, for it appears much like our own world, but with more of a bright, clear, greenish hue to everything. As I walk about, The first thing I notice is the waters. This must be the literal description of “The Mirage” as is common in the desert. I walk past all the lush vegetation towards the crystal like waters before me.
⊕ For one brief moment I looked behind me. The sight was much like the back of a Hollywood movie lot. Cardboard cut outs as vivid scenery. I was puzzled by this. What seemed real upon approach was nothing more than a forgery once passed by.
⊕ When I reached the waters, I gazed into the deep. There exists a creature which on one hand, seemed familiar, yet on the other, was totally alien. It appeared much like a combination of a Hippopotamus and a Dolphin. The Hippo like skin giving the creature an ancient rugged appearance yet it was in essence a Dolphin. I wondered upon this for a time; “I am a shark” was spoken inside my head. This made me more curious. Yet I knew I dare not approach closer. When I reached the waters, I gazed into the deep.

⊕ The creature sits beneath the waters; I’m guessing it awaits to see what my move shall be. It rolls it’s eyes towards me, and then exhales. Bubbles race to the surface of the water. Hundreds and hundreds of bubbles creating foam upon the water surface. The water is no longer still, the bubbles gather at the coast.
⊕ Of course, there it was before me. The legendary “shell”. Though I am not surprised to see it, I am surprised when it opens and reveals not “Venus” but what my mind forms as Barney Gumble from the Simpsons, singing the theme from “I Dream Of Genie”*
[* This actually became an incredible defense later on.]
⊕ Feeling foolish, I shake off the vision. When it clears, I behold her splendour. The Naked Lady Venus, I suppose. Isis Unveiled. My mouth drops in awe.
⊕”You place yourself in great danger,” she warns, “It can be very grueling upon a mortal man to be here.”
“Dear Lady, I know the risks and assume responsibility for my journey, my deviation, all to obtain conversation with you” I explained to the beauty.
“For you must know, as well as I, that in this form, mortality is not with me.”
She smiled the ageless smile, like that of Mona Lisa, concealing her male genitals and fooling all who gazed upon the painting, this was her expression. “You take the name Tzaddi, then you must understand, that to your left is death and the right a fence. You underestimate the force you summon.”
“My Lady, I know thy force, that is why I have left my form behind. All to gaze upon thy beauty triumphant!"I said in a courting manner. “I know you to be the Eternal Virgin.”
To which she smiled in an amused manner.
“ The Yetzirah identifies this, the seventh sphere, as that containing Occult Intelligence. I have the strength to behold that which you would reveal unto me.”
She continued to smile and said: “I stand before thee naked. What would I have concealed?” |
