The Dreamer's Description (poem by Svensson, November 2023)

Hereby an epic poem... this is the gist of my creed... enjoy.

I will now give you the poem titled The Dreamer's Description.

The middle part of it has been published on the blog before. It just had to be included.

The following is a resounding statement of my creed. I got the inspiration for the title from Castaneda. In that corpus Don Juan once tells his disciple, "Are you ready for the Sorcerer's Description of the world?"

This held some weight. A statement leading to untold vistas of wonder and glory.

So this inspired me. But also, I must say: to avoid the sometimes bare-bones, un-musical nature of the Castanena books I went beyond it and called my creed "The Dreamer's Description".

That is all I have to say. It connects somewhat with the "Golden Yoga" I presented in Astral War. The doctrine of art as ethics.

Now let us go to the poem. To The Dreamer's Description.

This is the Dreamer’s Description... take notes.

This is Golden Yoga...

This is Mythopoesy...

This is a white limo with a diamond as a hood ornament... this is the portal symbol for my poem, this is the virtual stone lion guarding the entrance...

I am one... holding one gem in my hand, admiring the snap and fire, the luster, and the play of light in this very stone from heaven...

I am an army of one, a university of one... I am a magician celebrating his birthday... by giving you the Dreamer’s Description of the world... so listen up, I will say this only once...

It is all very simple...

I read spirit into everything – that’s the Dreamer’s Description...
All I do is sleep and dance and sing – that’s the Dreamer’s Description...
I see everything as myth and metaphor – that’s the Dreamer’s Description...

I always return to the same dream –
I’m old in the land of dreams –
dream is all I do – so everything I do, say, preach and teach
becomes dreamy, becomes the Dreamer’s Description of the world...

I’m a full-time dreamer,
an astral citizen,
a myth-maker and a magus.

And my world-view is called,
the Dreamer’s Description.

To appreciate it, you must
have read Borderline, Actionism
and all my novels – and live by them.
Live by Action As Being, Movement
As A State and Memento Mori.
Living by art as a way of life. Living
the spirit of, “life and thought are
inseparable”.

You can’t sit at home concocting
the perfect moral system. You have
to test it IRL by trial and error.
By living it.

Do this, and you’re approaching
the Hero’s Journey, the Actionist Way,
the Dreamer’s Description.

The Dreamer’s Description
is giving you the signs
to build a dream on...
dream on... dream on...

This is the Dreamer’s Description of the World.

This is caput mortuum, cerise, and leaden grey.

This is Odin, Krishna, Silvery White, and all their friends... jötnar and gods, angels and demons, vittra and elves...

This is Zwei Männer den Mond Betrachtend... this is Jupiter and Semele, Toteninsel, Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer...

This is Europe après la pluie, The melancholy of a street, and Nic Roerich’s Arjuna...

My grandma used to tell me about vittra, shiny white creatures of the woods... this is the Dreamer’s Description.

My mom used to read me fairy tales... bedtime stories for a child of the moon, a child about to dream... she used to sing to me... and later on, she introduced me to Tolkien… she read of Gollum, living in a grotto beneath a mountain... very dreamy, very magic, very bronze age...

I am a magus maestro, untouched by the rational world view... I am assonance, affinity, mantra, spell, charm... my creed is given in myths, stories, riddles... I seek THE WORD, the word rich in meaning... rich as gold, rich as honey... “in the beginning was the Word, and in the end also” as the man said...

Dreaming of women... dreaming of Henrica... dreaming of Melina...

Woman, forest, ecstasy... death, night, blood... myth, saga, legend...

Sun, moon, sea, fire... initiation, inebriation, inspiration... bronze horns sounding out over virginal lands... pagan gods, rituals in the wood...

I’m a woods hermit and I will now enter the thousand mile taiga and live there... with my vittra damsel... in wonder and glory forever... “come on and join the elven’s dance... their wizardry and wild romance”...

She is woman, night, earth... intoxication, inspiration... enigma, fairy tale, myth... this is the future... these are the symbols that initiate us to the future... this is the metaphorical room we will inhabit...

This is the Dreamer’s Description...

Dream is all I do...

I dream, and the whole world is thereby affected... unmediated... through osmosis... thus the warm, bronze shimmering Dvāpara Yuga will replace the freezing cold Kali Yuga... and the sclerotic state of things will go south... with time...

It is written in the stars.

A musical, artistic, spiritual era replaces a rigid robot era...

The New Bronze Age encourages dreaming, astral travel, empathy...

Constant astral travel –

Constant vision quest –

Permanent state of emergency –

Constant meditation –

+++

The new era calls for total mobilization for total war, total astral war...

This war is a war for your soul... and since the soul is everything – idam sarvam yad ayam ātmā – it is a total war...

Total War, Total Mobilization... Total Spiritual Mobilization...

Woman, night, death, dream... drunkenness and madness, narcissism and dharmashāstra... Krishna has 108 names, so does Odin...

Woman night death dream blood fire... this is the future... forest sea thousand mile taiga... this is the future... and not “city criticism asphalt”...

This is the dream I dream... I dream this and all are affected by it, putting the freezing cold Kali Yuga behind us... and entering a summery warm Dvāpara Yuga, an era of faith and hope, of building, of creativity, of shaping our own future... saying “enough” to the previous era of oppression, regimentation, and brainwashing...

An era of music and artistry replacing a mindless robot era...

An era of constant dreaming lies ahead... mindful dreaming... conscious dreaming... and “there is no stronger force than a dreamer awoken to action,” as the man said...
