The Secret Books of Dzyan

 Press play and let the music wash over you as you read. 

Salute. 




As the Mage watched from afar, through remote viewing. 

He channelled a secret prayer to the brightest star in the four winds.

As he assumed the meditation pose.

He began reciting his evocation to the spirit guides, watching from the 5th Levels of the Astral Realms.

For them to take it back to her, from Beyond the Purple Rainbows.

As they swirled all around him. 

A lone voice whispers.


_________________________


Your dark eyes are like priceless blue oceans 
 
  
I whisper to the watching Elementals


I dream to dive in deep and drowning within

For they are deeper than any of the known lakes


To bathe in their once-tasted waters


Is where I want me to always fall

And reveal my soul as it experiences its first taste of sin



For your inquisitive eyes


Soft tender lips and smooth skin


Is a treasure I seek where I'd nightly kneel to pray 


For a new Atlantis
 
To be reborn
Within


Your eyes are like magnetic dark portals


For my souls
Astral nightly projections 


As I conquer its many strange citizens with my own occult powers

To reach you


Defeating 
On one of its many long ethereal roads
 

Architects of so many devious deceptions 


Just to see your twin eyes for they are like the best friends


Love could ever possibly buy 

And it’s why


I just love popping by


To rejoice in The Coming of our own Divine Invasions


The once lost words


Recitals and such memories o
f succulent prose


Once written for your eyes only 

Are just my own divine stanzas

Like written in The Secret Books of Dzyan


silver shimmering sea

Where we will soon forever fly

Like dark eagles

Paired 
Forever wild and untamed

For as our lonely souls once met
So long ago 

In the Great In-Between


We were anointed to be simply 

Free and Unchained


And it's why I always pray to return

To finally conjure you into life

And your love to earn


But until then 
I'll just breathe you into
Dreams

The Story of the Uwohali

 



  **The Story of the Uwohali**


Press play before reading. Salute.




(A lone voice whispers)


My memory cathedrals librarian forever makes me think 

When it speaks soothingly like a loving stranger 

On one of life's many fast-moving trains

In deep moments of reflective distinct solitude

As I remember you in here 

Watching the dark skies surround the sacred Chislak Mountains

Like an advancing grey army

As I stand by its fast-flowing cold rivers

That may cause many to inwardly shiver

This loving stranger 
Always
Whispers back
To me 

About you

A goddess 
I once prayed to and who for a short while stayed

Every night and
Especially 

In the early
Morning breeze 

And just now as the twinkling midnight stars 

Look down and
Bid their heartfelt goodbyes

Within your blazing passionate dark eyes

I can only pray you hear or read this

For I hope I’ll always live on 
And eternally once more come alive

To continuously 
Remind you of 
How happy 
We used to be 

The beloved memories 

Poetic love stories and all
The goofy crazy laughter

So much happiness 
And uncontrollable joy

To echo from now to throughout the hereafter 


Some triggered and caught up
In all the many old 
Photographs of me

You may still treasure and see

My sacred one 
Named and anointed in secret 

By Aylin
The Halo of the Moon

Under the Weeping Willow Tree
In the cave of enchantment by the sea

Only known to the true and free 

So my love,

I may now dance with kin
Amongst long-lost galaxies 

Or lay amongst strangers on green fields beneath unknown faraway stars

Looking at the universe's beautiful array 

But whenever you think of me

I'll always appear 
I hope 

In any given way

Like a soft tender feeling

A subtle gust of wind
Or a white feather

 A familiar yell or sensation

Wherever you are
Across this earth

Or simply hidden
Within any great nation

I may be now 
Part of the
Unknown In-Between Realms 

In a new frequency of reality that may consume us both

With The Supernatural Dagon


One of the insidious unseen energy vampires

Trying to feast on our rare delicious dish of unexploded dreams 

In the middle of any sunny day
Or unexpectedly, at night 


But my love for you 

Will simply last 
Forever and push it away

From this life to the next

For we were once 
Baptized somewhere ethereal 

By unknown angels to be 
Together

For we are eternal 

And one day by that Holy River
Underneath the heavenly Cherry Blossom tree



We will once more be reunited by Aylin

The Halo of the Moon


For this life is simply a re-introduction

A sometimes cruel rehearsal 
And for some time unknown to each other

We were simply wandering lost in the burning circles of the paranormal 

But now I know and have felt a vibration of your aura


All I can do is cry a praise of adoration 

To The Almighty 
And shout Hosanna

For next to the Silver City

We will be reunited 
So I'm told in spirit 


For life is sometimes a cruel rehearsal 

If we once again
Like so many before us

Suffer the fate of reincarnation 
And unknown to each other

We are then simply sentenced to wondering
Lost 

In the burning circles of the paranormal 

Before we enter a new place

Where there are hopefully 
No more painful hurdles

Queen Esther

  


Press play before reading. Salute.


(A lone voice whispers)


She came looking for me 

In the deep and dark 


One fateful unforgettable night 



From the very realms of the Lost Gods

Beyond the Lands of the Dead



Dressed from head to toe in white

Like a sultry princess related to King David through Shushandukht 


The once-beloved mother figure

So I'm told of Bahran 

 

And like a conjurer of unspoken words at around 2 am


She appeared suddenly after I had stopped praying


On the final stroke of my softly whispered 


Amen



She looked me deep in my green eyes and quietly said



She was drawn to my aura as she and her tribe in The Great In-Between 

The Sucaro


Had heard my souls cries

For help and support



So she was sent as a royal but loyal representative of the Astral Court


To collate information and send a detailed report



That was around 6 weeks ago



Oh 

How time flies when you're in love 


You should see her

She so damn beautiful


She looks just like my old friend

Marilyn Monroe



Why am I talking to you



Well

Esther



Has gone back home to give her detailed report


To the Cold Zone

Where the ice don't even flow



A place the living can never know

Unless this life they leave and go


To be part of their Great Show



I'm just standing here by the river Van Gogh 


Just another strange John Doe 



Given the once-in-a-lifetime chance to say


Hello 



Before the love of his life returns

And we retire forever to my Ethereal Chateau 


Known to the watching spies in the North 


As The Crimson Bordeaux


But before I go

Hear this



All will turn out well between the mighty West and the Red Bear



Some know as Moscow 



Esther

Sent me a brochure telling me so


But to stock up


The world's in for a crazy ride in the middle of 2022



And on that line

It's my time to leave


For I can see my stunning queen from the Great In-Between


Esther whose sacred name is Kayo

 

On her white horse

Shapiro returning 


So stay safe and look after yourself and keep those fires of hope and love burning


Until the next time


For it's my time to go

So on that final note 


Namaste but for now 

In these precious seconds we have left connected

Adieu

Channelling Henry Box Brown

 




(A lone voice whispers and sings)


Press play before reading. 

Salute.



I swore I'd find freedom you know



On the fourteenth of June



In 1848



When I laid helpless in the metaphysical snow



After a being of living flesh appeared 



And sold my family



While singing heart-lifting songs of sweet salvation with a twisted smile



Sonnets to help heal old wrongs but the darkness that stalks man



Oversea and land



Stepped in with its damned overcoat of black sins



Looking back



I had the tabernacle of sweet worship



Held tightly in-between clenched fists



Fists clasping the only Holy Grail 



The soft waist and small hands I would ever need to help me win 



And never to fail



But the Shadow People it brought



Stopped our glorious rise with a swing of their insidious ceremonial hammer at a slave auction 



With the final knocking in of their conjured version of Jesus's crucifixions last nail



On my Dia Marta



My handmade white cross they had invoked



The Death Knell which commenced since that unnatural spell



Still lingers and leaves me surrounded  



By its smiling armies of willing sinners



Beginners in the Greatest of Games



Between two supernatural powers



Still blindly wearing jealously's green blinkers



I once stood alone in the falling rain



Trying to wash away my pain



When it took my heart



But now

Nothing remains



Spring

Summer

Autumn and

Winter is now for winners



People who now carefully and so slowly



Pull out the sharp painful splinters



Like one of life's big hitters 



Not just the churchgoers or pastors or vicars



But lifes true warriors



The tainted and emotionally hungry



Trying to swim or wade through all its deep rivers



And as I now look back in all my lifes old mirrors



Seeing my old silver chains which once held me as a blind prisoner 



I raise my middle finger to the world



To the political system rigged to make me fail



Laws and policies

Demons

Armies of Darkness



Beginners 



Old feelings and even some friends and lovers in the hard times



So now I stand for me




A newly reborn Gods warrior

Surveying all I see



For I'm unstoppable today



No matter what the universe screams 



Or dares to find the courage to say



(A lone voice sings)



I waited patiently for the Lord



And he, in compassion to me, heard my vocation

And put a new melody into my soul



In the form of endless blessings — even thanksgiving


For with God

Blessed-blessed is the man

That has set his intention, his desire in the Lord!



O, Lord! My God! 


Extraordinary is your incredible story

My Saviour and glory


My new congregation


Allow all that seek thee be joyous for all to see 


Let your love be their salvation

In all nation


The Lord be praised as they are raised


The Lord be praised


The Lord be praised as they are raised


The Lord be praised

Back story.

Henry Box Brown was a 19th-century Virginia slave who escaped to freedom at the age of 33 by arranging to have himself mailed in a wooden crate in 1849.  

 To abolitionists in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 


For a short time, Brown became a noted abolitionist speaker in the northeast United States.


He decided to escape after his family was sold without him knowing, to others, at auction.


Unfortunately, he never saw them again, perhaps only in dreams. Salute.

The Monologue of the Midnight Watcher



Press play before reading. Salute.


(A lone voice whispers)


My dearest 

Are we like the mythical Adam and Eve


Lost and walking upon grey shores

Of an abandoned planet that constantly grieves 


Hidden in the deepest of spaces in-between 


Our deep neverending love holding us knee-deep

As if buried alive if we could be seen


In a sacred place beyond the grace of living beings



Where we'll witness the birth of a nebula

Stars and rediscovered Old Gods


A new Atlantis filled with wild pagan beasts and jealous old men


We will stride beyond the reach of the Masters of the Masonic Temples


As they line up in black cloaks chanting amen


Whilst erecting their secretive light barriers 


As we part the soft pages in our own Books of Pleasure

To be perused and used at our inquisition and leisure


We will watch the fall of the empires of man

With the rise of the Hidden Hand


The Brotherhood of the Cosmic Red Serpent


We will lie upon the yellow sands of time

As the new version of the Great Crucifixion begins


To see and smell the visceral sights


Palaces may burn and be aflame before us

A new vision of an old-world consumed with corruption and sin


For as we watch we will know


We are riders of The Great Red Dragon

Once foretold


For we are the mythical Watchers

Who never grow old


We who collect the Universe's hidden stories

In time to be simply retold


We just reborn as poets or writers today


No longer citizens of any known countries

Just sent again to take part


In the greatest of all unforeseen plays 


From The Great In-Between

To nourish inquisitive minds


Which are perpetually hungry

For enchanting new stories 


To help carry them through the long nights


As they search for internal peace and redemption 

In the hope to ascend and earn eternal glory

The Voice of Aluna

 


(A lone voice whispers)

Press play before reading. Salute.

 




To you who have swam


Filled with misplaced faith in the deepest of obsidian rivers and streams


Filled with crimson and purple shoals of heartbroken dreams 


You might, in turn, know the true value of eventual happiness 


From what you've learned and earned


You

whose once soft hearts have felt hatred but choose instead to embrace forgiveness 


To extinguish sadness 


Will always someday dance 


Hand in hand with old Mother Gladness 


But those who hang their cherished coattails on internalised judgemental emotional madness


Will seldom find peace


For to abandon oneself to wallow in self-torment and grief


There can never be any soul-saving relief 


Just let it all go


These are the words of I 

Aluna the First 


The blind Seer

Whose bright hungry eyes always thirst



For those still on the lonely journey on a place I once visited called Earth




Do you blindly in the old silence of your mind


Subsist with violence




Like a once playful spirit who's been shattered into a million pieces


Are you wandering lost but just always looking for guidance 


Until you first met poetry and its mesmerising lyrics in music



And in those throes of new beginnings to encourage you to strive to come alive 


To try to bloom to truly exist

Did you abuse it



When someone or something cruel made you say goodbye to all those once holy days 


When you were possibly in love or untainted 


By all those sad portraits sketched so beautifully by what unkind strange people say  



Which some in society like to see painted in so many devious ways




Ideals


Principles and people you deliciously cherished 

Love or once worshipped 


As you wandered throughout that old life sheltered in unconditional bliss




But when those spectacular times came to an abrupt end and you found the courage to depression resist




When you looked for something truly meaningful 


To infuse your heart and soul into 


Like Saint John the Baptist 




Did you find a serene taste of tranquillity in the written, spoken or sung out word 


To help heal and give you back a sense of being in total control 




Did the years of being a true or part-time disciple to music 


Poetry or any form of catharsis 


Help you find the freedom that continuously encouraged you to read listen or practise




To discover a deeper understanding of self prosperity 




That for you was invariably your implicit goal and a means to pay some of your soul's taxes




But do you now live on a knife-edge with the Sword of Damocles 


Hanging over you 


As you relate to new and old tales overflowing with happiness or pronunciations




Centred and surrounding like an invading army


A lonely word called Sadness




For a long time ago

People like you were persecuted like Old Agnus



With some blindfolded or tied to old green wooden stakes



For they loved to stone or just burn us



Blinded by pure jealousy or incredible hate




Such a tragic mistake 




Just because they thought we were different




Since they lived in an unseen primitive world



Overflowing with such shameless mindless ignorance




We who once danced and sang to Old Mother Moon




Or just spun carefree under the mystical Sun




Maybe in our own woodland grove




Celebrating how our life was run




Or simply around luminous fires on secretive moors



As the cycle's of the world

Slowly ebbed and flowed



Always staying hidden from all

On the mainland's busy main roads



We the old and new singers or poets



Music makers

Authors and storytellers



Or just folk pushing through the mud of humanity to bloom like the Lotus 




Well-known or still unknown



But still brave enough to stand tall and courageously


In front of all the world haters



For we are all representations of The Old Seducers of the Hive Mind



For we are all world shakers



We who have always fearlessly walked


Upon all those strange roads

Wherever our Fate took us



And today we are all reborn

But now unafraid to live our true way



For all our ancient ancestors

Now just live and stand beside us in the fast-flowing flux




Leading us forward to celebrate our impulses






Like one of my old friends called JFK 






Is there a wild light within you too my child






A strange beacon which is always lit






That whispers to never quit






No matter how you feel for your God-given talent is real






Driving that deep need to write






Sing or just produce something special that can be constantly reused






In the face of groups who might gather and chant abuse 






Using all those all remembered God-given talents to truly seduce






To help others sailing in paper boats across humanities ever-changing and dangerous oceans 






Which around us all still flows in perpetual motion






Which could easily drown you 






In its many deep and conflicting emotions






For we are all human, not sealed-up shells






And so we are all baptised to feel that we are real






No matter how loud the brutes in society yells






So maybe one day you'll remember 






That you once with strength and conviction






Willingly kneeled 






To be blessed and baptised before Apollo's altar






The Greek God of creativity in but another distant lifetime






To then stand unafraid before all to see






As you turned the key to set your soul free






Bravely standing in a straight line

Whispering Blessed Be



And is now like many years before


Your right time to shine



I think you know all the answers



Now go and play a part with freedom


In this


The greatest of all games ever designed in God's many kingdoms

The Monologue of Jimmy Jones


Press play before reading. Salute.



(A lone voice whispers)


Like a rare diamond

Our love once sparkled so brightly

It stopped passing Angels


It illuminated the darkest of painful nights


But like all incredible things

It slowly darkened over time 


As jealous voices started to sing


And as my heart starts to be more guarded as it slowly turns to stone as it hardens


I always look in moments of peace 


Like the son of Aeson, looking for the Golden Fleece 


Through my two-way scrying mirror to see your realm 


To see through all its many gossiping police


On so many levels linked to The Greatest of all Halls


Filled with The Arcana 


Past all the secret mysteries schools circling The Holy Cult of Hosanna 


And think


In the blink of an eye how life can suddenly change


One minute you're smiling and breathing in clouds of profound purple happiness


And then suddenly in an unfamiliar stillness and sensation 


Your heart is unexpectedly broken and put on a runway to reach new heights


In-flight


To find new clouds of spiritual  healing and to slow that grieving heart 


That's beating so fast and hard 


The world could probably hear it screaming 


This is for you


My beloved Tarzana from somewhere near Louisiana


I'll always miss your love and friendship 


For we will forever be kin


And when your world burns and the Four Horsemen appear


Offering a sip from their guilded bowls 


Overflowing with temptation linked to sin


I'll appear through my blue portal to painlessly help you crossover and come in


To here

My new place of abode


In the Glorious Silver City


So our true love can once more begin

The Monologue of JB Sabey

 Press play and let the emotional music wash over you as you read. 

Salute.

For all the ones lost to someone special, in these dark times, especially this year.




(A lone voice whispers)


Although you cannot see me


I'm still here
Just now free
In these new lands of no fears


Nothing scary has happened
I'm now just at peace


All my dreams I had about the Afterlife
have come true


So I'm just visiting from here
Just to see you


I can see your beautiful eyes
Which still sparkle and twinkle

I can still see the real you
Beneath all those tired old
Wrinkles

For the power of true love
Compels us to see all

It's that simple 


Just never forget me but
Speak my name at Christmas

And every other day

For you invite me to revisit
And through old memories
Play

Just remember me

Or I'll forget to ever
Call this way

For you see

Some of my friends and old family
Wait beyond this Great Divide

And my time is taken with retelling old stories

Hearing new ones and enjoying their
Newfound glories

So don't forget me

Not even for a day and I promise
I'll always appear your way

I appear in many diverse forms

A Robin
A Feather
A reflection
Or voice


It all depends on me
For it's my divine choice

But I'll always try to revisit

To lift your broken heart that breaks
And help you to rejoice

To always try to stand beside you
For a brief moment or for eternity

Above all of life’s noises

To hold your soft tired hands
As old memories are enjoyed

So don't you dare forget me
With times passing but invite me by name

And I'll call

Through all harsh winds
And the pouring rain

Say my name and I'll appear

To see the one
I still cherish and hold dear

Just don't forget me with the passing of time

Just remember me as you hear this rhyme

And I'll revisit 

Until your bell too
Begins to chime

And we are together again

In heavens
Eternal sunshine

Until then
I'll just keep visiting
And calling by

To remember all those wonderful moments

When
You were just mine and drove me crazy

And even though deep down
My soul too cries

I'll always love you forever baby

Your beloved first love
JB Sabey
