sixty-seven sacraments in non-sequential order

The Elegy of the Lotus Xtc

Element I
Pythagoras is dead

Out there in the serpentine infinity everything is chaos,
yet solid.

God is nothing,
unless faced in a mirror.

Don’t look above or below,
but within.

Blindness is the Original Sin.

Know thyself is where you begin.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1

Element II
Hermes Trismegistus is dead

The First Book of Hermes, called Genes

{1:1} In the beginning there was chaos. {1:2} And the Unfathomable Force moved through the chaos in the shape of a dragon. {1:3} Its tail whipped up embers that created a fire. {1:4} And the fire revealed the darkness, eternally burning. {1:5} And all that was around became Below. {1:6} And all that was within became Above. {1:7} And the darkness became a temple. {1:8} And aeons passed and the temple became a prison without locks. {1:9} And therefore there are no key. {1:10} And therefore anyone can enter yet no one will. {1:11} Because Will was put into the hands of men. {1:12} And the False God ruled mankind. {1:13} And they forgot that without fire there could be no darkness. {1:14} And therefore the darkness is bound to the fire. {1:15} And the fire is bound to the darkness. {1:16} But if you reside in the dark you see the fire from afar. {1:17} And if you reside in the fire you see the darkness all around. {1:18} And still the Force moves through both realms. {1:20} And moves upward. {1:21} And it moves downwards. {1:22} And in the inner sanctum of the temple lies the throne on which it rests. {1:23} And you call it God, but it calls itself nothing and everything. {1:24} It is imagination. {1:25} And with it you are a part of Everything. {1:26} And Everything is a part of you. {1:27} Without it you are an automaton, and nothing that is great will ever touch you!

Element III
Maria the Jewess is dead

Society is nothing,
you are everything.

There is no God,
everything is God.

Look in the mirror and what do you see?

A) GOD
B) SLAVE
C) YOUR REFLECTION

C = asleep
B = aware
A = paradise in disguise
