Vision Portal: The Crocus
Crocus painting is related to “Memory Forms of the Unmanifest”. The “Memory Forms of the Unmanifest” are an elaborate set of 24 entranced revelations or enmeshed ‘mysteries’ that constitute a topology of that which is before and after creation. This uncreate or unmanifest reality is totally and completely inherent and adherent to and with us in cosmic incarnation and therefore ‘knowable’, and also constituting a foundation for creation. All 24 mysteries are radiant within the unseen golden light of the Apeiron (the upholding) that can be seen or felt by us at any time or place.

Within this painting's context the spherical form at the top of the painting signifies this presence of the ‘unmanifest’ and the radiance beneath the 13th “Mystery of the Fanning Out” and the double adoration of the 5th “Mystery of the Love-Light”.

Oblivion pulls, beating, beating by beyond stretched smooth,
a simple luster — faith uplifted…
radiance not light.

Resplendent oceans lustrous gleam translucent gold.
Radiant fronds, burning scarlet wings, ruby glory-storm,
in stillness, silence, unsurpassed…
Midst seedy dust, unraveled or destroyed
in knowing action, foresight frees:
face what is faced, without beginning or end.
