They Spoke in Codes

Peter Forster

They spoke in codes
Ancient minds luminaries
Brilliant celestial entities
thinkers seekers path finders
Gods All
In their own right.

Brihaspati Jupiter
Jovial Giant
Mangal Mars
The fount of Well being
Mars the well spring
The God of Action.

A common Bengali saying.
Whatever happens happens for  our  "Mangal" ("for the best" )

Or doesn't it?
The code explicitly states
Mangal is Mars
Lord of Action.

The Act
Is in itself
Auspicious.

Whatsoever maybe
Action above all
Above Stasis
Above stagnation
And above Tradition's
graveyard peace.

Action is all encompassing
Life affirming
Life defining
Life refining.

Progress Is.
Whatever  "Happens" Is...
Thereby is for the best.

Seek and ye shall find
What you seek
is what you will into being.

Alternate realities
As real as the skin
of your dreams
nightly weds
Our embedded souls.

As you mote
So shall it be.

As you wish
So shall it be.

As you speak
So shall it be.

As you dream desire
So you define to discover.

As you believe
So shall you behold
And as you act
So shall it
unfold.

Amen
Tathastu

The action
Rules
Consequences.

So be it.
