It is Writ

_{^{Horoscope of Prince Iskander, by the Royal Kitabkhana Workshop of Persia (Persia) 1411}}

in the holy scriptures that visionary spectrum calls forth your subterranean self, asks you to transcend what you know, to melt, to cradle your wholeness against the solace of seraphic sky.  

You glide through the Platonic realm, where you were first conceived, as spark, as aleph, as bay, as Piscean yin yang realisation back to ram of self discovery.  Summoned to begin again, you hang dot to dot in the ether of awakening. 

You floated away with your old soul fragmenting in your wake and now, now you have to grow a new soul, one you were coaxing abloom all along.  

It’s beautiful out here, in the cosmosis of all-knowing self, an undoing of all you knew.  It is the arrival of fourth sky plane, dream world caverns, a purging of consciousness, an arabica of joy.  

You are a puzzle of rapture calligraphed anew.  You always knew you belonged somehow, you just didn’t know how until now.  All this time, enlightenment was hiding in plane sight, if only you had peeked beyond the mayan skyscape at the edge of the woebegone world.  

You are the lone navigator of your new winged demeanour.  But you are not alone and that is a double joy, a multiplicity of realm and heaven.  What need do you have for the fetters of earth self any longer when you’re the cosmic ultramarine dream?  

Except it’s all the more real, hyper-real, than it’s ever been.  The perfect maths of things anchoring all chaos, not really chaos, but the finest celestial order.  The whole hangs as neatly as it always was and will never not be.  

At long last, you become we, become all, become one, a longing fulfilled and untangled in the multiverse of doors to dreams spun real from art fantasia.  Come now, let us cartwheel through the starscape of surrender, and dissolve deep into its alchemy soup.
