Tweeting chic Dada glee

Seething Sethian—

Sidesteppes scythes—

Serpentine Dragons 

Sleekest swiftest kisses 

                                          Silver silks sipping 

Succulents succubi bb

                                         Draconian dragons

Cloudburst to freedom

LSD Trip 

It essentially dissolves all realities 

You have an unseemliness & come up 

Colours become amplified & prismatic 

You see visual geometric patterns 

Sometimes you see figures dancing 

On the walls or cartoons hovering

All sense of self dissolves

Time moves very slowly

Bad trips can make 

Paranoia intense

Monad Bythos Mythos

Primordial primeval 

Deepest depths 

Emanations 

XY—syzygies 

Pleromas

Sophia Gnosis

Cataclysmically cacklingrings 

Falling from Pythias’ Pleroma

Matter & Sol spring-time into realities 

A-Demiurge creates this Fallen world

Sophia & The Logos rescue

Return to the spiritual world
