The Mystery of Creation
Here I am, master of truth, my god, sovereign of the universe. Humble part of your body, soul,
and spirit, I am the admirer of the forty gods who serve the heavens, the fascinating eye that pierces
the light from the darkness. Here I am, guide on the mountain without a pisco. I brought with me the
compass you taught me to use to feed millions of hearts. And when you think that I am the light born
yesterday on the horizons of the waters of the holy constellations of nothingness. I am here to defend
my convexity of the world. From the secret of secrets, I gather the name and the stone that was and
is, what will be.
How many messages have we received from the great scholars of the universe, even transposed
into the symbol of human speech? The words were elaborated to be understood only by the chosen
ones. And their mission was to fulfill the realization of a divine plan. I have received the sacred word,
says the adept arriving before the gate. I know him and I meditated on him all the way,
understanding his power. I know this was my first life. But what are the names of the eternal forms
that accompany me now? Oh, Maat, if you would allow me the truth of the spoken word, irresistible
to the great silences in its harmony! But what virtue has the divine sound that a man's voice can
emit? Oh, the soul that you separated from the song of the seventh lord descended through light,
healer, and angel, like a gift I feel you in the chaos of my voice, a single word. Now I am the one who
in turn transmits the message.
7
Being thus the essence, penetration is a dream, arcana of truth, eternal harmony of the abyss.
And beyond is no future. And no past. It is the breeze of the waters and the caress of a burning stone.
It's not night, but it's not day either. It is me, crossing multiple obstacles and stops, the steps of the
garden. They are the signs that come to warm the soul that I feel is mine, the ocean in which a sun
shines, and I am also a drop that thinks. I am the light born yesterday, nourished by the truth, with
wings crossing the life from the Word. The knowledge held in it is greater than anything, being
creation itself. Clairvoyants and prophets, the great visionaries remained in the collective memory of
the terrestrial world and... who knows... whose other worlds of this universe or others. The esoteric
dowry of the nadir or zenith spiritual centers, inscribed in the symbolism given by the Great
Architect through the spiritual monads embodied in the three-dimensional physical worlds, is always
covered with a veil of oblivion. The gate is not immediately made of steel or marble and the key to
opening it can only be the Word. Our evolution in a temporally spiraling ouroboros, passing between
ascending vibratory frequencies, is deciphered in the cosmogony that finds itself never and nowhere
except through an Alpha born from an Omega, the son born from the daughter, god the father, and
god the mother. Creation belongs to us, it is part of the light of the universe, and it is the divinity that
is everywhere in our world and ourselves. On the interconnected steps of existential access, it is the
hermetic nous of the inside connected to its outside. This is the sacred key that entitles the adept to
lift the veil from the gate of light, the transition between energy and matter, passive and active, cold
and warm, hidden and revealed, dark and bright, stage between Omega and Alpha, between the
architectural plan and the finality of the construction of a temple. What was, what is and what will
come is only a spiritual evolution, which I, who am who I am, feel is a creative mechanism of the
intelligence of light refracted in a spiritual mirror. I say all this from a man's perspective. I never
tried for a moment to skip the natural stages of understanding and knowledge, to materialize the
spirit through the soul. By existing, I listen and surprise myself among all those like me.
It is my voice in the eternal forms, destiny justified by the gods. It's another gate, one more, the
one that opens more towards the self blossoming from great wisdom. From the darkness, I am a man
who comes to know myself, so that the spirit that speaks to me may carry me and make me
understand the power of the sacred key, the only Word.

First Canto
of Initiation
Once upon a time in the distorted nothingness of dreams,
a misunderstood magus,
a magician who could
transform the world in a backstage
5 and of course
to leave only the one without a beginning on the stage.
9
From this mystery was born an arm and then
a piece of body
15 a half wing:
- I was not an angel, he wrote with rays for us,
no clay god
but only a magus born in haste.
10
Remember what my secret is and guard it
in pyramids
in ancient burial mounds, in ziggurats,
in temples, on obelisks, thin tablets, megaliths
35 which were exalted
in the moon or sun greedy regions!
11
I was born under the wind of the pure rose
50 on a dragon island
the third in the frontier of the great constellation;
touched from a young age by the blade of mature
knowledge
and dreams from sleep
we were a game through rituals and libations.
12
I was freed from the darkness in which
they gathered in my thought
Lemurians and Atlanteans arrived from among the stars
70 in the consciousness from the beginning one after
another
spiral path having
they piled up as many sails as possible
13
85 Only the temple, an immense tower in spirit
remained among the waters,
waves after waves, swarms of asteroids,
breaking on the steps, torment in the universe
vain prayers
90 uttered by thousands of cherubs eager for secrets.
14
However, few cross the gate to darkness
towards the chariot-sarcophagus
105 in which to know alchemy'try
through death to pass into the etheric spirit
under a magician's crutch,
to give birth to the rose from the ashes that had been a
flower.

The Second Canto,
of Fire
Longer than long ago, hence no time
there was no place
but only an infinite bell, with the center nowhere
and the edges were nowhere; no one had any problems
125 and no stars
exploded or froze in the cold of winter.
19
Their role was to write the darkness and how to defeat it
and resurrect
135 from the astral to this world the moments from paradise,
eon to eon, a cosmos to encompass
and to be
the great fulfillment of the dream plan.
140 They gathered around the table on which the fiery sphere
of the giant icosahedron glowed with rays.
in which a triangle pulsated an eye of flame, multicolored,
black and white that dripped like honey
in all words and images gathered in bundles.
145 In flight you could feel how the swirling clouds were
watering
in the manes of horses
splashes of petals, aromas, and taste of roses;
that's how oozed the howls of fleeing wolves to worship
the sacred procession
150 touches of offerings and lightning to admire.
20
It was just the beginning. Released from darkness
as from slavery
from the world in which space and time do not exist,
they gave the light clothed in flesh
155 without knowing
that the hidden infinite entity was giving them a clue,
21
It's always within my reach
170 a point, a line, a map
on which to slide the sun, cross, stars
lights in these spaces where alpenhorns sing,
Faith is an art
and I am my god, prophet, and myth among them.
22
But I don't just hear or see, I feel
in the arms a palsy
in the wings the rustling of petals, the aromas of flowers,
190 and between the lips the taste of caress
and seduction
to the new from the flesh of the virgins at dawn.
23
205 overturns and interprets fire roses -
thousands of colors,
oscillating its undulation in auras of darkness and
nothingness.
It is the eternal outpouring that does not have a term.
Thousands of flowers
210 burn and the sparks give birth to the giant universe.
24
And burns in me at night, the growing spirit,
bright lights,
225 released under the transparent bell and the pore
the mouth of a fish looks like a stepping-stone fountain
where it no longer hurts
my metamorphosis into wings restoring my flight,
25

The Third Canto
of Time
The power of understanding is the veil of the astral night
of cold and hope,
elevating the truth to the rank of dogma,
Only fear binds us to the darkness of your pride;
245 viewed from the front
being wand or unicorn horn,
29
Now is the time to be proud - don't brag
from what you know
255 but aware that you have hidden gates in you
the light and time in which you grow,
a character from the homilies,
humble as the sky is before the sun, my child.
265 I guide you from now on, because they do not go astray
- It is known -
those who follow in harmony
a road marked by everything natural
and it's not sordid
270 their initiation in the bell, through fire in the pyramid.
30
We, sons of stardust, embodied the glade
like a fortress
let it seem like a temple, not a desert, not an expanse of
water,
a place where wise time is food,
275 possible,
and the music from the spheres makes the thirsty drink.
31
But take fire from me, light on the rainbow bridge
290 floating on the rhomboid clouds
secrets of the architect with a compass and a square
in us, it becomes a saint, a demon, or a god
with your greedy winged eye
and be you in the time of the mystery fire!
295 How many colors does fire have? We don't see him the
same way either,
neither do we immortals
what we overcome through the fire from within the
black light
and infinity shining in the night thought becoming a goal
a permanence at dawn
300 of this sense, the apocalypse of reverie in ruin.
32
I bring in me, my child, the first disciple I meet
in this clearing
in which I raised the temple thousands or tens of years ago.
310 You did not feel how the night star is released from you
leaving behind a wound
of fire in the transformation from the body to always urge
you to leave
33
325 Gathered from among the secrets of the spiral in which
we find ourselves
it's wisdom
which he gave to you embraced as a disciple,
I, lord of mysteries and morning star, to you, man
which yesterday you collected
330 the stars in your eyes and believed in their brilliance so small.
34
And waiting to break the veil of night when it's only dark
part of the ether
345 I learned traveling the abyss that my inheritance
and every man is light. I had no idea either
of this mystery
and how much of the secrets he can give me.
35

38
Fourth Canto,
of the mystery
I stay in the meadow - temple of light - to tell you:
You are a son of immensity, too,
A child of the stars, unique among them;
Still, essentially you are, just as
365 we are only spokes of the wheel
What we call destiny, is inscribed among mysteries.
39
I met in my long search two eyes the same
as the universe and skin as an unicorn;
375 already released from the night tightening
We grew together in thought, having only one goal
- let's make ourselves in the body
in which in the spirit and the ray of the sun it hurts.
40
We were fulfilled on another plane, here, on the
Mountain,
hidden of knowledge,
unknown to wisdom, beyond everything we know.
But free, as you will be, in the Mute spaces
395 before Genesis,
we conceive, ourselves, children which we plant
41
put to burn in alambic, in memories of the future,
410 in the order of a world
by which the balance is ended and at the same time ...
By how much you will pass from evening until dawn
you will not be able to gather
- what I repeated - the divine play with a kiss,
42
I trembled until I was two and still, and still many of us
until I filled in chaos with light
the Word spread by us deep, the zenith in Nadir
430 and what was heard from above you can also listen down,
spheres in cubes, the air in clay
in the ziggurat, I was fulfilled in the rose fire.
For the one around whom the masters are not the fire
440 ready to burst
but endless peace, deep in harmony
what surrounds us and watches everything
even a wedding,
time without time, the one who was and who will live.
43
445 I am right now toward you, architect of the world,
the genesis of life
with the mind, with the infinite bell in which we are spinning,
and I ask for liberation from bondage, putting the garland
and as a gift the wisdom
450 to my disciple from the Glade with irises, Elohim.
44
youth of youth,
465 being our life and invitation, then in death,
the inexorable detachment of time and destinies
without a sign of old age
in the myth of salvation that gives you power.

The Fifth Canto,
of the Key
I was a master of light in distant Mu,
key bearer,
keeper of the path, master of a pyramid and a cone,
often living in a human body, even in the one that was
485 heroes fight with kites
a god of history-gathering eon after eon.
49
I brought the way to the light, not the light of the triangle
exalted with the pineal eye
495 and in successive plans in shades of numbered harmonies
but only heavenly manna to give to the hungry
and water from a wave sound
to remember the coolness and toil of the thirsty.
50
If the sublime, high noetic master has called us
let's shape the word
in clothes understood by your mind, child of man,
I gave wisdom and I still do it now
515 to swallow you deep again
and then wake up from your unfulfilled sleep.
51
Nothing more false, my child, for in the light it hides
530 always dark
and the seven vices overtook the people.
That's how many perished climbing the mountain,
an ethereal ziggurat
with steps, bridges, and traps in which they licked,
535 not souls but bodies, for the spirit, was too much
and they didn't know where the magic was
it ends in the still and the ritual becomes knowledge.
Learn to keep the light and her kiss,
serves alchemy,
540 only to the enlightened ones to reveal the sciences from
you!
52
as sorcerers do powers can be given or taken away
in the invisible temple.
On these walls, the tablets are inscribed with light.
550 In them I gathered the word which for you is the key,
not permanently readable
but only when the heart is love and without any guilt.
53
565 of the temple you are looking for and you will not find it
it means you still know
the way, the truth to your life.
It is not surprising that there is a rose in a tree
he will ask you to give him a tribute
570 petal by petal, feather by feather my wing.
54
In its spokes, in the space from the beginning of time
we are always spinning;
585 traveling on the path of darkness and illusions
we open the temple gate in the labyrinth
with a divine word.
The profound allusions are not in doubt
55

The Sixth Canto,
of Light
Children who shine among men listen to my voice;
to rustle among the leaves used to,
to murmur in showers the drops of dew that fall from
the sky
as in rays the shivers of bees and perfume in the
nostrils of a cypress
605 - that's my worldly voice
and love was my most intense pressure of mystery.
59
615 There, always look for the one with whom you have
fulfilled
an alchemical ritual; and she, your dear being
is always unknown.
But you, orphic, are retracing the Sisyphus road you
started on.
625 And the darkness will disappear from you, it will fade
in waves,
hidden and buried
as my body had received death in the temple.
But my soul remained and will wave among creations
in the ether
as my voice is all today
630 is the message that will change your fate in your mind.
60
because for me it's the first
I was shy and trembling knowing that behind
each in a different bell, in the arches-they had a visitation
635 who knew its secret
and had guided him to the edges where the worlds end
All our sons were also astral travelers in the old Mu.
My love, sublime spirit,
645 often accompanied them; we were all Wizards of the
Great Void,
although we had been people like you, we were flying in
time and not
we get tired of knowing, dear Elohim,
that our harps were still in a bad, morbid space.
61
With unseen wings, the temple rose from beyond time
650 and more and more were asking
light from light, secrets from darkness to give.
Until one day... when the incomprehensible magus, me
in the labyrinth
was killed even by the gods
and my lover remained a widow in the worlds of kites.
655 Eon after eon, the light reigns in you without tasting
from balance to death;
you all are and will be my children
and in my formless form, I follow you in thought
here on Venus or Mars
660 you, descendants of the widow's sons.
62
As much light was around, so much wisdom I feel today
when I tell the legend
of love and death from which you were born!
670 Hear my ransacked voice by that single distress
and don't imagine me like the addenda
to a past in you revealed from an unknown time!
63
685 And then in balance, the stars, by the force of the fog
springing from the flower,
reveals how water shines from the earth and flame
in man; and the wings, vibrating in the air of life
a dumb wisdom
690 it slithers like a swift fish in a mountain river.
64
She just imagines that I am no longer of the building soul
in the formless caves
and from everything, anyone I could draw a sweet sigh
from her.
715 to murmur in waves the drops of dew that fall from the sky,
to forget your worldly voice
resounding in your being a cross swaying in the embers.
And the love that was the most intense pressure of mystery,
be your guide and I wish you
720 to find out what you don't know, wings to soar, to sink
in grace!

The Seventh Canto,
of Reverberation
When you understand your light connection
and chaos giving birth to order
in your body, as it was long, long ago in mine,
you will be able to use the Word beginning to coalesce,
725 between the spiral and the grave,
in the labyrinth of the secret that the darkness no
longer holds
and you will spread the abyss, the essences of fire and
immortality.
Listen to the voice! I returned to my body.
I'm not a magus, I'm not a king and my wings are not
visible.
730 Bathed in spirit, free from smoke, I slide into spaces
of love.
From the darkness, I always break
fragments of colors from the rainbow - rays of fire.
69
Only the soul is free. The rest is slavery, shackles
not so much in space but in time;
735 If you hadn't listened to me, you wouldn't have known
the key to wisdom
you wouldn't have found it on any star, in any sun.
Now that I have touched your mind
you feel that you have crossed the path of the moon in
the heavens.
745 Your light is like life in the cosmos when you look
and it's a stream through you.
This is how we are - light, and the song of harmony calls,
create in the shadows all that you melt in your eye:
a spoken flight. And it comes
750 at your voice as a throne of admiration and fear.
70
He is nothing but a thought of order and harmony
what got you
when I removed the blindfold from your eyes
and you felt that it would never be the same again,
755 not in reality, not in a dream
but in the essence in which the egg was conceived in
the mind.
71
So I found out why the widow's sons are not
770 subject to size
but bells only travel in parallel skies
coming out in the time that changes the
metamorphoses in the body
eternal in which some
only supposed spaces exist, they are made of stars
72
I am the one expected as a guide
and I give you wings
from life to the symbol to guide you and from illusions
790 you will discover the confusing forest yourself
in which they were shadowed
the essences that shamans and priests hinted at.
73
805 For I have no end, the infinite finite
it stretches and slips
in order of rotation huge spheres, cubes, pyramids;
in the end, there is a fragment of thoughtless chaos
an amalgam - treasure
810 strong glows and rhomboid mists.
74
While the blazing star burns the arid darkness
from beyond, from here, from the mark,
825 by the secret names call you the guardians of the three
or five gates without beginning slowly open
my exhortation
to lead you into the worlds where you were and will be
gods.
75

78
The Eighth Canto,
of the Starry Palace
In youth without old age, I have a human body
with whom I walk between you
to remind you of the glorious Mu world.
From the beginning, when life had no rest and no sleep,
845 I live among you
and I was and I will be what you are.
79
There is always a beyond in athanor and aludel,
crucible synthesis.
855 In four winds eight float immaculate wings
and a dozen powers reflect the soul in Him
the divine alphabet,
essences in crystals, inscribed without death.
865 Only for him is the point and number three created
to find out the truth
and in three one God - power, wisdom, and love,
the discernment of a son by the spirit of a father
what breaks an ivar
870 like a flaming sword, passing into divine existences.
80
Listen to the message I bring you, long-hidden
in these caves
Ensigns are inscribed for those of a least,
words that appear in our memory to listen to,
975 cave paintings
arranged deep in the brain from above.
81
There have always been three rooms in the temple
890 and the revolving gates
open a pore the fountain of light,
in the glory of the holy world from the way whose
purpose,
unworthy of you in everything
may your wings be shattered, may your life be thorns
82
Hide in symbols and no one will touch you.
You will be untouchable to the profane
and only with those like you to share wisdom.
910 Who else could see the way and extinguish your fire?
For all their desire would be in vain
And the trial is dead and the miracle invisible.
83
of tranquility and peace;
and the sons of the widow bring as in heaven so on earth
the growing whisper to listen to, to understand, and
who wouldn't
he screams and yet he is silent
930 which would not vibrate but in the depths of your mind
you feel it vibrating.
You were born here, near Ineu, near the portal of a world
ancestors and forgotten.
So many times I have seen you for thousands of years,
from one place
included in other spaces, inter-orientations, and gates;
but not me
935 hides the ringed bodies
of some Uroboros - fountains with pores closed in fire.
84
from the altar, in a float
945 the icosahedron watches over the known words and
raw light.
On the rainbow bridge, the wagon with sails passes
wielding stars,
turns nights into days
extinguishing the darkness in the boundless, unknown day.
Step over the threshold with me and use the word given
950 in the small meadow of clouds and fireflies!
Do not listen to those who enslave you
to leave the spiral and the test given by a surprised angel!
Utopian wisdom is not here
she is the only one who can defeat your fear.
85

88
The Ninth Canto,
of the Earth
I passed among the stars knowing more than ever
anyone could have known
from the race of distant misunderstood words
and in no way twisted. I was loved; I was hated
965 traveling often even through me
until I end up building rainbow palaces.
89
This child was me too, son of light in the waters and
nothingness.
Over time the temple become
975 no room, because they listened to me towards the top of the
ziggurat,
feeling myself in wisdom a great hierophant,
on the road of open gates,
that I may be a prophet in the law of the divine Maat.
90
that there are enchanted keys that hide beyond them
the worlds that cannot be seen
nor by those as me liberated in spirit
from the planes intertwining in rays and rings
995 the movement of the occult worlds
neither down nor up, never, neither all nor nothing.
91
The well you passed is a sign of learning,
1010 and the bell a border
beyond which we meet to have my say
the nameless one of huge scope
passed from era to era
which seems to overwhelm your whole nature and cut off
your momentum.
92
Of ephemeral flesh freed from bondage,
nothing is more holy
like the voice you heard and sunk deep
1030 but it is nothing but wisdom, the writing that knows
secretly slipped into thought,
in the void of your greedy, hungry soul.
93
1045 I have mastered the law from the ninth dimension
where order remains
and without time and space, vibrations vary,
only the Uninitiated still know how to say:
I worship you, my lord,
1050 above me, there is always another who creates us.
94
It's absurd to think that the great ones have always left.
They watch over us in the labyrinth,
1065 enticing those who want to read them
to ever point their wings to their palace,
the temple of gold and silver,
with thirty-three thrones and a round table.

The Tenth Canto,
of the Vision
99
inherit my entire legend,
fragment of epic,
1095 lead people to save the Earth as well
because in the bell in which the fire is suspended
no path or alley
it does not fulfill the dream, it does not dress in rays with
the garment
1105 From the time that does not yet exist in any calendar
all in one will return
and the sons of the widow will be the bright aura that will
light
The word that is endlessly created again and again
a thread that keeps spinning from the fork -
1110 has no beginning and no end, and it is not my will.
100
Because man represents the perfect geometry that calls me.
made to fly
to consciously learn that he represents a future angel,
banishing anguish, forgetting darkness and fear,
1115 to be his guard at the entrance
the temple deeply dug in the conscience of the sons.
101
Nothing can shake beyond Aldebaran
1130 Pleiades transforming the voice into thunder
the vibration from the last bell mixing spirals
through the eternal and infinite where I will be - I was,
the memory of life everywhere vibrating
lords of death, in the clouds opened from a grip...
1135 însă You will always learn that from chaos there is light,
it's order and harmony,
the chains in which the sphere hides a still of magic
in you, they will break. In you fires in nous are animated,
the secrets of eternity
1140 in many senses they will bring you to my Areopagus.
102
It is still the flight light of the divine man with many
meanings
collected in unseen grains
but you can feel them melting in your palms;
1150 there is the source of his power and the way to give birth to
verses,
harmonies in perceived hymns
completing a ritual, ceremonies in which to acclamation
103
1165 that ocean whose waters are the waves of light
and the breeze of dreams,
in which the secrets surround in nets like cells
from bodies dissipating in warm, smooth swaying
from the pit of the dead,
1170 where the Word is not heard and is not spoken.
104
flowing structure blazing into existence.
The realm of self within you
1185 lies beyond many bells and fountains,
exactly like the legend extracted in times of Essence
tells you about new worlds,
of seven seas and countries passed to be masters.

The Eleventh Canto,
of the Magician
Once upon a time in the dream-tossed nothingness,
a misunderstood mage,
a magician who could
for the world to transform it backstage
1205 and well-understood
let only the Unbeginning remain on the stage.
109
longer than long ago, hence no time
there was no room
1215 but only an infinite bell, with the center nowhere
and the edges were nowhere; no one had any problems
and no star
it had not exploded or frozen in the frost of a winter
110
That's how you keep asking yourself, ignorant, being that I
want
always be my bride
how do fall asleep in your lap ravaged by longing
in front of the grotto where the roses are as white as they were
1235 and Pacle does not leave
to hide the stones made from the sky in the athanor.
111
There is no darkness left in me. I am light.
1250 The realm of wisdom is open to us.
From the wedding of the sun and the moon, the worlds are
raised
in temples, on tablets, and in divine writing.
Remember the Word and guard it
in pyramids, in earth mounds, in ziggurats!

When you understand your light connection
and chaos giving birth to order
in your body, as it was long, long ago in mine,
1270 will you be able to use the Word starting to congeal,
between the spiral and the grave,
in the labyrinth of the secret that the darkness no longer holds
113
1285 I passed among the stars knowing more than ever
anyone could have known
from the race of distant misunderstood words
and in no way twisted. I was loved; I was hated
traveling often even though me
1290 until I end up building rainbow palaces.
I don't know if it's the last text I'm sending you (I wouldn't
want to),
carved over the panels
in the gold between the columns, in the gold brought into the
crucible
by the fire of my soul and intertwined with your heart
1295 picked from the stars
when I set and you rise, bound like a magnet.
114
And in nothingness, outlines of stars and people will be
erased.
I was and am the holy icosahedron,
1305 myself a disciple, master, and miracle messenger,
apostle and prophet, the all-traveler who walks
distances and time on earth;
I have no wings, only light, a mirror for you in the ether.

The realm of self
within us
Liviu Pendefunda traces, in a perfectly coherent logic, how antiquity and what he
calls protohistory, definitively marked the spiritual evolution of humanity; the origins
of its paradigms, the author proves, with solid arguments, are in Solomon's Temple,
in the initiation rituals of the first years of ancient Egypt, among the Essenes and,
further, in the times of the Mu continent and among the Atlanteans: "Everything
sacred and the saint can be expressed through symbols as an incarnate presence of
reality that belongs to the concepts of faith since the days of the Mu continent". The
continent of Mu and the Atlanteans are landmarks still fiercely disputed by historians,
anthropologists and archaeologists, especially regarding their placement in time and
space, but their existence and, above all, their work, improbable for many, are beyond
any doubt for Liviu Pendefunda, who follows a logic of spiritual becoming: "The
spiritualization of forms of meditation and mysticism assimilate symbols from
historical periods older than the oldest religions, giving them very high values and
focusing them in relation to the protohistory of mankind". In the same way, the
"mass religions", the author states, "emanated" from the esoteric tradition, and
"contemporary Rosicrucianism has its roots in the sacred heritage received from the
mystery schools of ancient Egypt". Liviu Pendefunda's research develops the large,
historical dimensions, always starting from the significant argument; here, for
example, is the "painted" floor in the Masonic temples: the fact that the Masonic
temple had a painted floor, objects arranged in a certain order, proves that the secrets
119
of the liberal arts and sciences preserved the traditions of Noah's Ark, the secrets of
Euclid's geometry, the whole construction respecting the dimensions of Solomon's
temple: Noah's Ark, Euclid and Solomon's Temple, up to the symbolism seen today,
protohistory - history - the present - this is the trajectory of each study from the
extensive research contained in Dogma or freedom of thought. In another order,
along this path, legend and myth determine reality, (con)figure it; the legend (myth)
of Noah's Ark "paints" the floor of Masonic temples of yesterday and today, just as, for
example, Solomon's Temple, started by the "legendary" David, still influences human
history today: "Here is a legend, a myth, a reality that through its depth has
influenced history. King David was the first who, in the Hebrew world, considered it
necessary to replace the nomadic tabernacle with a permanent one, he made the
plan, collected the materials, and allowed his son, Solomon, to continue his work
and carry out the execution of a temple that remains written in golden letters in the
consciousness of mankind. Here, as in a corollary, the entire symbolism of the
previous eras was collected and remained as a holy law for all that followed. The
king began the foundation in the fourth year of his reign, 1012 BC. and with the
assistance of his friends, Hiram, king of Tyre, and the great architect Hiram Abif
erected it in seven years and a half, consecrating it for divine service in 1004 B.C. It
was the year 3000 from the creation of the world and since there was light (...) Even
if the contemporary Masonic writings subscribe to an undeniable belief that the
brotherhood appeared as organized during the construction of this temple, that
Hiram Abif would have been the first Grand Master of the lodges he had initiated
with symbolic degrees and systems of initiation and that these rituals would have
remained unaltered throughout the ages, even if modern writings doubt these
assumptions, the symbolism of Freemasonry, as well as the architectural example of
the temple in Jerusalem, remain the essential foundation for the history of faith in
God. So that the temples of contemporary faiths, and especially of esoteric ones, are
symbols of the temple of that time, and every priest, venerable master, and preacher
is a king at the same time and every initiate is a worker, a mason, a worker
tributary to the universal religion of work".
In protohistory, in the mysterious Mu continent of the Atlanteans - "distant Mu",
"too glorious Mu world", as it is called in the Songs from the last book, Inscribed in
the Book of Mysteries -, where "life had no rest and no sleep", in Ur and/or Uruk
120
continues its exploration of the astral Liviu Pendefunda. Preoccupied, with a perhaps
inappropriate word, obsessed with the composition of the celestial worlds, the poet
thinks of all his poetry after 1990 like a solar system: in the center, the theoretical
pivot, is Dogma or freedom of thought (2007), next to which placed, in their orbits,
Sideralia (1979), Astral Pharmacies (1981), The Eggshell Star (1982), Falii 1 (1983),
Doctor Apollon's Office (1984), Silence of the Shells (1985), Falii 2 (1985), The Crazy
Wagon (1992), Celestial Movement (1993), Wizards of the Great Void (1997), Legend
(1998). Falii 3 (2000), Falii 4 (2001), Beggarland (2004), Rondels and Ovoids
(2005), Poem of Souls and Stones (2011), Luminators of Time (2013) and, now back,
Written from the Mystery Book, Et in Megara ego and Eternal and Infinity (2014),
Lapis philosophorum (2015), Lyrics and Spirit (2016), Jerusalems and Lux in
Arcana (2017), Behold the day is coming, Poems from My Dephs and Quinta
Essentia (2019), Truth and Grace (2020), Gloria Pacem (2021), Whispers from Light
and The Lost Avatar (2022), Avatar in a Stork's Beak (2023) and this book: Unseen
Light in Times, the last on the orbits of his solar system, aims at the initiation and
the journey towards a text in the possession of the "unintelligible magician": a
Borgesian theme, to be found in all his poetry that begins, here, with an inscription;
everything is in the Borgesian spirit, in a structure specific to the fairy tale, the
fantastic prose: once upon a time there was ("Once upon a time in the distorted
nothingness of dreams,/ a misunderstood magus,/ a magician who could/
transform the world in a backstage/ and of course/ to leave only the one without a
beginning on the stage"), more long ago than long ago, whence there was neither time
nor place ("but only an infinite bell, with the center nowhere/ and the edges
nowhere; no one had problems and no star/ had not exploded or frozen in the frost
of a winter"), now I tell you ("You write verse after verse/ what I gathered in joy and
pain/ the square that holds the soul in triangles and circles") , "How much light was
around, so much wisdom I feel today/ when I tell the legend of a love and death
from which you were born!", in youth without old age, with a human body ("with
which I walk among you / to remind you of the glorious world Mu./ From the
beginning, when life had neither rest nor sleep,/ I live among you/ and I was and
will be what you are") - these are the modules from which the poetry of Liviu
Pendefunda from Unseen Light in Times grows and, otherwise, the adventure of
the initiate and the novice, of the master and the child, of love and death from which
121
it was born, in a space-time unit where there is still nothingness empty, without the
Word of the "unintelligible magician" and where the rule has not yet been established
according to which the naming (of the thing, the being, the state, the feeling) inscribes
the being of those things: only the sons of light can do it - says the poet - those who
they will be, being what they were not: "Only the temple, immense in spirit edifice/
remained between the waters,/ waves after waves, swarms of asteroids,/ breaking
on the steps, in a tormented universe/ vain prayers/ uttered of thousands of secret-
loving cherubs./ In his fury, chaos returns to encompass/ a world-whose purpose/
had once again been subjected to the test, to the dirty soil;/ but I in the woods, in the
desert, my condition being/ will be what was not,/ I said to myself and I became a
priest and king of all./ From the womb of time, the sons of light wisdom/ conceived/
and the showers of stars ended the wind's trial;/ all of you, since then you have
received in communion / a little, a little at a time/fragments and monads from the
great soul" (First Canto, of the Initiation); in a game of the tenses of the verb,
carefully studied, from the imperfect to the perfect compound, from the durative to
the closed action: "Longer than long ago, whence neither time/ nor place was/ but
only an infinite bell, with the center nowhere / and the edges nowhere; no one was
in trouble/ and no star/ had exploded or frozen in the frost of winter./ Then the sons
of light in form incarnated/ on the newly created earth/ to bring from nothing the
rays of learning,/ in tunnels, under the earth and under the oceans they dug,/
another sun-they placed/ in a bell under a mountain in the hard rock" (The Second
Canto, of the Fire).
Liviu Pendefunda's poetry grows from an archetypal background so that reading it
is, at the same time, a search, initiation, and research of the essences revealed by the
mythological scenarios and the symbolic constellations there; the archetypal
background has nothing illustrative, the poem does not "tell" who will have been
Brahma, Shakti, Ganesh, Shiva, Parvati, Kundalini, Agni from Vedic mythology,
Enoch and the Temple of the ancient Egyptian priests, Eos, Eros, Hespera, the Styx of
the Greeks, Elijah, the angels, the cherubs and Jacob's ladder from the Old
Testament, the architect, the square of the triangle in the circle, the cross and the rose
of the Masonic universe, the silver and the athanor of the alchemists: the poet
descends into the astral, into mythology, because there life and wisdom are fused, the
hidden meaning and the light, the Beginning and its Word that are found in each of
122
the sacred figures invoked. From the same archetypal background, the poetic
imaginary from Unseen Light in Times is reclaimed, from its signs: the pyramids,
the earth mounds, the ziggurats, the temples, the obelisks, the tablets, the megaliths
"in the greedy areas/ of the moon or the sun were raised! ", the rose, the dragon, the
icosahedron, the sons of light - the angels, from another cultural paradigm -, those
who make the connection between "this world" and the bells of paradise from the
astral, finally, the pore (of the universe, the gaze, the fountain), the slot through which
show the faults of Liviu Pendefunda's poetry. A poem of ascension symbols, where the
all-flyer who "walks the distances and time on earth" receives his wings, to restore his
flight, we find in Unseen Light in Times. What is beyond the pore of Liviu
Pendefunda's poetry? Here: "From there begins the path to the time that is not,/
through which we pass the dawn on the rhomboid cloud"; like the Wizards of the
Great Void, and us, for a while.

philosophical theories from the sunrise that can be read in the series of
15 volumes "Luminatorii Timpului" and precedes the novels of the
"Hemera's Blessing" saga. The English translation completes the project
