You know, I really don't think that Guy Haley had the whole Cawl/Qvo dynamic fully planned out even as he was finishing up The Great Work. Well, either that, or he is one of the funniest motherfuckers on the planet. Because going by how Qvo-89's awakening went in Genefather, Qvo-88's must have been something like:
"Hello, dear Friedisch... Yes, yes, okay, Qvo. Please listen. Please get up and listen. No, stop crying. Qvo, please. I really, really need you to go over to Felix's ship and explain to him what the fuck has just happened. Better make it sound good too, Qvo, because that mountain is gone. Try not to mention the loose C'tan. Make something up. Be a dear and do it Qvo. Okay? Good, the shuttle will pick you up in fifteen minutes."
#well there is the very real possibility that Qvo-88 was 'awoken' in advance#but it is not nearly as funny#and therefore not the truth#warhammer 40000#adeptus mechanicus#belisarius cawl#friedisch adum silip qvo#still not sure how to tag him properly#but let's give it a whirl#qvo-88#qvo-89#implied qvo-87#Decimus Felix#cawlposting#Guy Haley#The Great Work#Genefather

“I can tell you this much: you are aware that in the official science of today the role of the observer becomes more and more important. Relativity, the principle of indeterminacy, show the extent to which the observer today intervenes in all these phenomena. The secret of alchemy is: there is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call ‘a field of force’. This field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-a-vis the Universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call “The Great Work’.”
“But what about the philosopher’s stone? The fabrication of gold?”
“These are only applications, particular cases. The essential thing is not the transmutation of metals, but that of the experimenter himself. It’s an ancient secret that a few men rediscover once in a century.””
― The People of the Secret by Ernest Scott
(Artwork + Gandalf in the Library of Gondor)

Sun Becoming
Mystical poem finished 7-28-24. With all due honor to Maynard Keenan for the title.
1. Lust
For I am a lover,
Tossed and turned,
From one broken heart,
To the next
Grand ambitions,
Wed to grander passions,
Walking the world,
In seven-league boots
A thread of a life,
Spun wide and twisting,
But still found loving,
And loved in turn
2. Prince Of Wands
For I am a penitent,
In sackcloth and ashes,
Molten in my passions,
Legs bruised by prostrations
Abandoned by sunlight,
And nursed upon regret,
Because nothing else,
Will stay down
Wounded and wincing,
Grown thin from fasting,
Half-hidden by hair,
Aching always and small
3. Five of Wands
For I am a warrior,
My blazing sword,
Inscribed with sigils,
Of a better world
Searching the Playground,
Stalking the sides,
Of empty roads,
With thumb outstretched
I watch the sky,
Spinning and tumbling,
And stars show me,
The patterns of being
4. The Fool
For I am a dreamer,
Looking through stained glass,
At a world made,
Suddenly, madly, large
Singing and screeching,
Hawks and bats dancing,
In flight across a land,
Now stretched green and violet
I laugh and play,
At the feet of The Dutiful,
The Old Man who,
Taught me the Mysteries
5. The Devil
For I am a monster,
Bloody-mouthed and grinning,
Beneath eyes grown,
Colorless and stale
A violent breed,
From a savage country,
Far from any hope,
Of help or reason
A bullet for any gun,
That will offer a smile,
And moments,
In from the cold
6. The Lovers
For I am a wife,
A partner in joy,
And true yokefellow,
Freely bound
Loss and pain,
Almost more than,
I could ever stand,
With you beside me
The very best,
I can ever begin,
To aspire to be,
Is yours
7. The Hermit
For I am a Mistress,
Shoved into the Temple,
Across that ancient gulf,
Against my will
Forced to creep,
The Mushroom Forest,
Sword at ready,
For the dispersion ahead
Only to find friends,
In the maelstrom,
And sweet rest,
In the Desert
8. The Magus
For I am a stranger,
Wandering an alien land,
Hand held out,
To the whole world
Begging on the corner,
And making do,
Chanting holy songs,
For the listening Lion
Held tightly,
Behind the screen,
And dancing alone,
For the sake of shadows
9. The Empress
For I am a priestess,
Welding together,
Sacraments and love,
From twine and old toys
Lamp burnt low,
And incense in the air,
Water dripping down,
The lip of the chalice
Forgotten dreams,
Of the Nameless City,
Where I hear You always,
Whispering my name
10. The Hierophant
For I am an angel divided,
Being and Nothingness,
Bound joyfully,
At the soles of my feet
Seeing through,
A mirror darkly,
Eating the worm,
And saving the apple
Led to stretch out,
Across eternity,
To reach out carefully,
And hold my own hands

“The alchemical operations were real, only this reality was not physical but psychological. Alchemy represents the projection of a drama both cosmic and spiritual in laboratory terms. The opus magnum had two aims: the rescue of the human soul, and the salvation of the cosmos.”
― Carl Jung
[ Artist • Jakob Böhme ]

Remember this: WHATEVER you come across in your inner journey, YOU ARE NOT IT.
You are the one who is WITNESSING it. It may be nothingness, it may be blissfulness, it may be silence, but always remember that however beautiful and however enchanting an experience you come across, YOU ARE NOT IT. You are the one who is EXPERIENCING it.
If you go on and on and on, you'll find that the ultimate peak in the journey is the point when there is NO EXPERIENCING LEFT – neither silence, nor blissfulness, nor nothingness. No object; just witnessing. The mirror is empty; it is finally not reflecting anything.
That's you.
