On Mystery...

(A short excerpt from the forthcoming The Vulvic Trans-Missionary)
"That beautifully potent and singularly terrifying point of creation, that moment wherein the total and expansive darkness of the beginning, gives birth to the light and the process of the conception of the cosmos ensues IS the manifest Vulva of the Goddess of the Void. Her body the limitless and eternal night, non-existent and a-cosmic - dwelling forever and entirely on the Other-side of the veil that divides the twain aspects of being and non-being. It is from this point that the birth of cosmos happens and as a child from the womb of eternal night comes the babe of light...reflected in the stars that become as the garment of The Dark Mother - each one a jewel radiating and casting forth the myriad essences of life, being, and manifestation. Thus is revealed and concealed the beauteous Mystery of All and Nothing!
And yet, of Mystery, yes, Mystery, what can be said and do we dare speak of it at all. The most fascinating aspect of Mystery is that it forever remains so, it is totally Other. We do not partake of Mystery to solve it, to discover some finite answer to an eternal riddle of the ages, no, we enter into Mystery's Domain to become one with it! The concepts of Mystery and Other are intertwined, intimately and inextricably linked, eternally. However, Mystery, as the Heart and Soul of All-That-Is, does possess materiality via creation and cosmos, yet remains veiled as the sole-source. This triune-nature is reflected within us as well...always there are the halves of our own being: Self and Other immersed within the expansiveness of Mystery.
We are manifestations of our own Otherness, and yet, in becoming we forget our origins as this Other, as a part of Mystery. In many ways it is this Other-Self, the trans-dimensional and aeonic being residing within, that has become and is most foreign to us. We can, only momentarily and through lightning flashes of inspired revelry, speak of and comprehend Other. For once that which is not us, in the present moment, is spoken and seen and felt, it no longer remains Other - for it has become a manifest facet of ourselves and our world. Yet, Mystery, that true form of Otherness, is beyond manifestation and remains so always, eternally."
