HaikuPrajnaPhilosophical/ visualizations, one/ duality forms. ("Corpus Hermetica")
The texts that have been sourced to Hermes Trismegistus in "The Corpus Hermetica" (translation by Brian P. Copenhaver) act as the foundation of a dualistic philosophical imagination/fiction.
The book's introduction is an odyssey by itself with its detailing of how the texts have passed through Eurasia, which traces back through pre-Christ prophets, Queens and Emperors. The main section is composed of over a dozen discourses on the topics of cosmology and visualization that is spoken between a number of beings, from the cosmic Mind to Hermes, and Hermes to his sons, pupils and Pharaohs. The purpose appears to be the same among them all, for the enlightened speaker to raise their listeners into the described divinity with them.
This book focuses on the working philosophies of holy prophets and beings, but discludes much of what is considered "Hermetic" due to their fragmented and untranslated natures, and to their focus on more esoteric methods and rituals of which the better known parts of the Corpus was derived from.

The poems for my Goodreads reviews will be part of the next HaikuPrajna Collection. "Spear-thrower" is the story I wrote for "NaNoWriMo" which I had based on the "Inktober" prompts from 2020; the story and poems will be featured as a future edition of The HaikuPrajna Collection.
