The Consummation of the Primeval Intention

God always intended for Man to become radiant and perfect.
Because this was not attainable in one lifetime, God made cycles,
successive ages of becoming.
Man was intended to travel in the folds and gyres of the cycles
until he became as radiant as a million stars.
When the state of abiding and inherent perfection was reached,
God would abolish the cycles altogether, and unmanifest the manifest.

Man struggles in the state of becoming because
he applies illusion-paint to a canvas of emptiness.
He undresses himself and hides under sheets of pride.
He tries to grok the mutable conditions of life with the eye
of reason.
He stands atop the mountain, and claims he is better than the mountain.
He hurls dung and gripes at his community,
friends, and lovers.
He even pollutes the soil he tills.

Even though the struggle seems endless and absolute,
it is not.
The struggle, like the cycles of time,
will pass like the celestial bed of constellations and clusters
and the fortress of space.
At the end of manifestation,
when all potentialities become actualized,
Man will forage no longer in the tempest of dreams.
Radiance will shock his skeleton, and truth his soul.
This will inevitably lead to the consummation of the primeval
intention, and the cessation of matter.
Poetry will sparkle in the abyss.
