"Blessings

Accept this ancient
Wisdom
Which has travelled
Far to greet us
From the East
W/the sun

Call out to him
From the high mountain
High, from high
Towers

As the mind
Rebels
& wends its way
To freedom

Grant us one more day
& hour
The hero of this dream
Who heals & guides us

There is an audience to our drama.
Magic shade mask
LIKE THE HERO OF A DREAM, HE WORKS FOR US,
IN OUR BEHALF.


Strange world waits & watches.
Ancient dread of non-existence.

The truth is on his chest
The cellular excitement has
Totally inspired our magic
Veteran.    And now for an
Old trip.      I'm tired of thinking.
I want old forms to
Reassert......
My mind is just - you know.....

Smile like a calm survivor
Of the psychic war."
                                      - Jim Morrison


THE ETERNAL GUIDE AS THE CHARIOTEER OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA

"I AM A GUIDE TO THE LABYRINTH
COME & SEE ME

No one thought up being;
He who thinks he has
Step forward

The flowering of God-like people
In the muted air
Would seem strange to an intruder of certain size

BUT THIS ALL WE HAVE LEFT TO GUIDE US
NOW THAT HE IS GONE "
                                              -Jim Morrison

The Bhagavad Gita is considered as one of the Apex Scriptural text in Eastern Mysticism,Originally being regarded as the Holy Gospel of Sanatan Dharma or the unified religion of Man is now adopted by Hinduism as their Primary religious text. The Bhagvad  Gita or The Song Of The Lord is 700 verse text comprising of 18 chapters (sections 25-42) in the Bhisma Parva of the Epic legend Mahabharata,  composed by Eternal Sage Ved Vyasa approximately around 4th century BCE as the precise date is yet unaccounted. The Gita begins before the the Climatic war of Kurukshetra, as the Pandava warrior Arjuna is perplexed and bewildered in dilemma as he counters his own relatives, family and brothers in the Blood bath war ground, thus making him dwell in the vices and virtues of dualism. The Truth is then revealed by his Eternal Friend, Charioteer, Guide and Teacher Lord Krishna as He encourages Arjuna to carry forward the assigned task explaining the three prime pathways of Unity with the Divine ; 1. Through Karma Yoga ( Chapters 1-6) the precursor to goal, as Krishna describes and justifies the necessity of human actions or Karma as it eventually leads to freedom or Moksha through the process of evolution and salvation of the soul as it passes all the stages of human  life course and experiences phases of different existential states through its Karma as an e enactment of the Divine Will.
2. Bhakti Yoga ( Chapters 7-12) the pathway of love and devotion, the will of true surrender to the Lord who cares for all.As Bhakti or love is the only process of self-transfiguration and flowering of the Soul, all creative assets and abilities arise from love or Bhakti towards the Subconscious Supreme
3. Jyana Yoga ( Chapters13-18 ) is the final abode of the Spirit or the Attainment of the Goal itself as one imbibes Eternal knowledge of The Absolute Divine consciousness.

The subdued consciousness of The Bhagavad Gita can be read and realised through Jim Morrison's poetic compositions.


"INDIA INK, INK OF INDIA
THERE ARE NO MORE RICH COLORS
ESCAPES BACK SMOOTH
IN THE DESERT SEA....

IN THIS "HOLLOW" WE WERE BORN.
OBEY THE FATHER RUN
ESCAPE BACK INTO THE LANDSCAPE.

Heaven or Hell the circus
Of your actions

To Play ( Chance is a God here )
Assuage the guilt
The deep fear
The separate loneliness

The Party of new connections
Mind made free
Love cannot save you
From your fate
Art cannot soothe
Words cannot tame
The Night

So I tell you
      I tell you
        I tell you
 We must send away

 We must try to find a new
       Answer instead of
                           A way


All hail the American Night

And so I say to you
The silk handkerchief was
Embroidered in China or Japan
Behind the steel curtain  And
No one can cross the borderline
W/out proper credentials.
This is to say that we are all
Sensate & occasionally sad
& if every partner in crime
Were to incorporate promises
 hiS program the dance
MIght end & all our friends
Would follow.

Who are our friends?

Are they sullen & slow? Do
They have great desire? Or
Are they one of the multitude who
Walk doubting their impossible
Regret.   Certainly things happen
& reoccur in continuous promise;
Al of us have found a safe
Niche where we can store up
Riches & talk to our fellows
On the same premise of disaster.

But this will not do.   No, this
Will never do.        There are
Continents & shores which
Beseech our understanding.
Seldom have we been so slow.
Seldom have we been so far.


MY ONLY WISH IS TO SEE
FAR ARDEN AGAIN."

                                    -Jim Morrison



"Why the desire for death.

A clean paper on a pure
     White wall. One false
Line, a scratch, a mistake.
Unerasable. So obscure
By adding million other
      Tracings, blend it,
Cover over.
But the original scratch
Remains, written in
Gold blood, shining.

DESIRE FOR A PERFECT LIFE

Those who Race toward Death
Those who wait
Those who worry

There is no death....
Everlasting hope & fulfillment

Eternal consciousness
        In the Void......."
                                           -Jim Morrison

OSIRIS THE EYGPTIAN GOD OF DEATH, UNDERWORLD AND IMMORTALITY.
The Eygptian God of Death, Afterlife and Immortality Osiris is adorned by the Atef crown similar to the white crown of Upper Eygpt is added with two curled ostrich feathers attached to each side, The Lord is green skinned symbolical of re-birth or resurrection with a Pharoah's beard holding the crook and flail in hands the instruments of a Shepherd sharing a close resemblance to Jesus Christ ( as The Shepherd God) is also known as Wenennefer or the one who continues to be perfect,  the Lord of Mercy pardoning redeemer at the hour of death  Lord of Love as the eternal lover of Isis , Lord of Silence and the One Who is ever youthful and Benign or the Lord of Immortality. Thus, is associated with the kings of Eygpts as they hoped to be united with Osiris at the hour of death to be resurrected like him, attaining eternal life through imitative magic.
Since, the name Osiris came in prominance in The Pyramid texts  Fifth Dynasty of Eygpt , it is believed that the Lord was worshipped earlier as Khenti-Amentiu the epithet which referred to 'As the Foremost Among The Westerners' symbolising kingship in the land of the dead  which dates back to the first dynasty.
The hope of New life after Death made Osiris connected with the cycles of nature and hence is linked to the Constellations of Orion and Sirius. Osiris is also rarely depicted as a Lunar God adorned with a crown encompassing the Moon (gives a close suggestive resemblance to the Hindu God of Death and Afterlife Shiva whose matted locks also encircle the moon)
Osiris is the oldest  son of the Earth God Geb and the Sky Goddess Nut, the brother as well as consort of Goddess Isis and the father of Falcon headed God Horus.
As the early Pyramid texts referred to Afterlife synonymous with travelling to other Star systems along the Primeval Sun God Ra .
The funerary texts of the beginning of the 4th dynasty are found inscriptions 'An offering the king gives and Anubis' by the end of the fifth dynasty it changes to 'An offering the king gives and Osiris.'



As the Sun was believed to spend the Night in Underworld and re-incarnate again at Dawn. The combined forces of Ptah-Seker the Gods of re incarnation along with Osiris as ptah-Seker-Osiris worshipped as the Lords of The Underworld and re-incarnation.

Jim Morrison's silent references to The Eygptian God Osiris can be traced throughout his poetic verses...

"Does the house burn? So be it.
The World, a film which men devise.
Smoke drifts thru these chambers
Murders occur in a bedroom.
Mummers chant, birds hush & coo
Will this do?
Take Two.......

Each day is a drive thru history

Hesitation & doubt
Swiftly ensconced

Time has claimed you
Coming for you

This is the sea of doubt
Which threads harps
           unwithered
           & unstrung
Its the brother, not the past
Who turns sunlight into glass
It's the valley
It's me

Testimony from
A strange witness

They are waiting to take us into
                                           the severed garden
 Do you know how pale & wanton thrillful
               Comes death on a strange hour
Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
                            Brought to bed
 Death makes angels of us all
                & gives us wings
Where we had shoulders
                Smooth as raven's
                                 Claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This kingdom seems by far the best
Until its other jaws reveals incest
& loose obedience to a vegetable law

The Endless quest a vigil
Of watchtowers and fortresses
Against the sea and time.
Have they won? Perhaps.
They still stand and in
Their silent rooms still wander
THE SOULS OF THE DEAD,
WHO KEEP THEIR WATCH ON THE LIVING.
SOON ENOUGH WE SHALL JOIN THEM.
SOON ENOUGH WE SHALL WALK
THE WALLS OF TIME. WE SHALL
MISS NOTHING
EXCEPT EACH OTHER......"
