The Library


"The Library" 

somewhere,
in the depths 
of the ship,
the clinician 
suggested sleep.

in the middle 
of the room 
a boat, no oars
the crystalline walls
exposed to the indigo 

vastness 

outside slips in 
enveloped in a 
blanket of stars
cosmic sparkling
floating without gravity

like a feather 

the patient it would seem
swims like a fish towards
the inner capsule 
hypnotised by 
the sound of light waves

it is here one departs dock
one travels

a strange place 
where only one book 
matters.

the lucid reveals.
the story unravels.

“Akasha can be defined in a few words: it is the universal Soul, the Matrix of the Universe, the “Mysterium Magnum” from which all that exists is born by separation or differentiation. It is the cause of existence; it fills all the infinite Space; is Space itself, in one sense, in both its Sixth and Seventh principles.”

"Upon time and space is written the thoughts, the deeds, the activities of an entity – as in relationships to its environs, its hereditary influence; as directed – or judgment drawn by or according to what the entity's ideal is. Hence, as it has been oft called, the record is God's book of remembrance; and each entity, each soul – as the activities of a single day of an entity in the material world – either makes same good or bad or indifferent, depending upon the entity's application of self ..."

"Akasha or Akash (Sanskrit) means space or sky or æther in traditional Indian cosmology, depending on the religion. The term has also been adopted in Western occultism and spiritualism in the late 19th century. In many modern Indo-Aryan languages and Dravidian languages the corresponding word (often rendered Akash) retains a generic meaning of "sky"." In Classical Sanskrit, the noun acquires the neuter gender and may express the concept of "sky; atmosphere" (Manusmrti, Shatapatha Brahmana)."

In Vedantic philosophy, the word acquires its technical meaning of "an ethereal fluid imagined as pervading the cosmos"./ Hinduism - "in Vedantic Hinduism, akasha means the basis and essence of all things in the material world; the first element created. A Vedic mantra "p?thivyapastejovayurakasat" indicates the sequence of initial appearance of the five basic gross elements. Thus, first appeared the space, from which appeared air, from that fire or energy, from which the water, and therefrom the earth. It is one of the Panchamahabhuta, or "five gross elements"; its main characteristic is Shabda (sound). The direct translation of akasha is the word meaning "upper sky" or 'space' in Hinduism.

The Nyaya and Vaisheshika schools of Hindu philosophy state that akasha or aether is the fifth physical substance, which is the substratum of the quality of sound. It is the one, eternal, and all-pervading physical substance, which is imperceptible". According to the Samkhya school, akasha is one of the five Mahabhutas (grand physical elements) having the specific property of sound. In the Shiva Purana, it identifies akasha as having "the only attribute of sound". In the mLinga Purana, akasha is translated as "firmament" and listed as one of the 1,008 names of Lord Shiva. Adherents of the heterodox Carvaka or Lokayata philosophy held that this world is made of four elements only. They exclude the fifth, akasha, because its existence cannot be perceived.

In Buddhist phenomenology, akasha,is divided into limited space (akasa-dhatu) and endless space (ajatakasa).The,Vaibhashika, an early school of Buddhist philosophy, hold the existence of akasha to be real. Akasa is identified as the first arupa jhana, but usually translates as "infinite space." / "Akashic record, in occultism, a compendium of pictorial records, or “memories,” of all events, actions, thoughts, and feelings that have occurred since the beginning of time. They are said to be imprinted on Akasha, the astral light, which is described by spiritualists as a fluid ether existing beyond the range of human senses. The Akashic records are reputedly accessible to certain select individuals—e.g., a spiritualist medium who conducts a séance. Akasha allegedly transmits the waves of human willpower, thought, feeling, and imagination and is a reservoir of occult power, an ocean of unconsciousness to which all are linked, making prophecy and clairvoyance possible."
