Black Books Jung: What’s going on in this darkness? “Light must be created. You must create it out of raw matter that you’ve received. It must still …
Soul: The brightness must be lit up, the fire must be kindled.
I first encountered you in ceilings,
in wallpaper patterns, their imagined shapes;
lying on beds with open books, with time,
with The Planets Suite as background.
You, who watched erstwhile friends
playing and laughing, cycling madly
along lanes of cow parsley and smoke,
through an old peeling window frame.
You are the same person still — alone;
free, yet unheard and misunderstood,
unwilling to think, or bend like the rest,
still staring but from double glazed glass,
thoughts blowing among trees,
within the space of this room

The shaman left me with this admonition,
hobbling away with his stick of gnarled ash.

As the day began to break,
blue shafts were piercing orange and red,
a warning; creation speaking
and thought becoming instant form;
a mounting cumulus cloud,
shape of a lion’s head.
“The world is mind,” he’d said,
“dreaming us into existence
and what we may be.”
The cloud soon morphed
to show a crescent Moon,
then Venus, morning and evening star,
companions for my journey home.

— especially when we see through a screen? What would McKenna say now about our screens? It’s not just television that is a drug. Take me, for example. My root addiction is “the news.” I thought it was cigarettes — which I finally released at 39 when transit “sudden changes” Uranus opposed its natal degree,… What […]
