Genesis of Eden
Apocalypsia is a double-feature length stream of consciousness account of the millennial vigil from the Andes to the Amazon, from Rio to Avalon, Rome, Israel and India, to open the epoch of the Tree of Life in reflowering the diversity of life on Earth.
The true unveiling in cosmic and evolutionary time is now, in the awakening of humanity to the inner workings of the universe, from the big bang to the quantum, from the genetic code, even to the doors of perception. On the sinister side, we have committed genocide and embraced nuclear holocaust. We are heedlessly destroying our genetic heritage through the inferno of life's diversity and ill-conceived genetic modification. We are hurtling towards a mass extinction of life which could cause ten million years of genetic and social famine if we don't destroy ourselves in the process.
This seed celebration is to reflower the Tree of Life hidden since the foundation of the world, which returns at the end of time in the Apocalypse, a cataclysm which has always had the hidden meaning of "bridal unveiling". The return of the lost feminine face in all her manifold forms, Asherah, Gaia, Shulamite, Magdalen, Shekhinah, to bless the Earth in natural abundance and matrimonial concord.
