Without a Doubt
“God is sheer nothingness, whatever else he may be” –Angelus Silesius
Angelus Silesius
“Without a doubt, time’s an accident,” said
Maimonides, “like blackness, whiteness.” What
Stupidity! You might as well say lead
And souls were chance, the cosmos a loose nut.
His implication is that there’s a Being
Intelligent and powerful enough
To bid, “Let there be light,” without seeing
The consequences. What a load of guff!
The mystics’ tongues taste only muteness. All
Supernal utterness so drenches (drowns)
Them that Divinity becomes a pall
On speech for holy Emmett Kelly clowns.
They dangle as perfection’s puppets’ lips.
The Deity peeps through total eclipse.
