Adam Kadmon

 

Adam Kadmon 

Strides across the universe.

One massive leg rising

From the floor of Earth,

The next onto the farthest star,

Myriad glittering galaxies in between.

Immense body of light,

Flesh of stars, flesh of space

Cognate and coextensive with the cosmos.

This macrocosmic body

Containing all worlds,

This macrocosmic soul

The archetype of all souls.

Primordial Cosmic Man,

Divine androgyne

Resounding in the microcosm-

Light year upon light year

Stretching upward and downward

From this vast archetype

In golden ascensions, 

One solid, endlessly reverberant tone

Stretching inward and outward

From this vast archetype

In golden ascensions,

One solid, endlessly reverberant tone. 

A vast interiority of sound

Swelling in complex harmonics,

Extending in vast overtones

Vibrating in the towering firmament 

Of  Adam Kadmon's frame

That encompasses boundless space.

The dazzling figure

Of the human archetype

With a gaze so deep

That all distance dissolves

Before it.

Wearing a crown of starry nebulas,

The Cosmic Androgyne's voice

A super-nova

Of the uttered architecture 

Of Creation

Rising in cosmic stadia.

Then a final stillness within the aethers

Where begins the great Ain Soph Aur

Preceded by the great Ain Soph

And preceded again by simply the great Ain,

That vacuum of pure spirit

Resounding with the mathematics

Of original sound,

A music of infinite quietude

Performed like an act of love

In the open palm of eternity

That holds the stature of  microcosmic man

Together with that of 

Adam Kadmon

Within dimensions upon dimensions 

Of inconceivable design.

To this human archetype

Speechless before itself

In the mirror of silver seas 

Of void and space,

I ask as courageously as I can

That this spirit

Of Supreme Primordial Man

Love itself eternally in me

And that our existence never end.
