THE FOURTH GENERATION
At this too-late stage, I see the folly of my work, and I can only beg for your forgiveness, with full awareness that no apology can possibly absolve me for what I’ve done. I was born in 1932, the year that the atom was split. From my childhood, it seemed like the world was the…

NO PILLARS
Exegesis of the Qur’anic verse, {He created the heavens without pillars}, Chapter of Luqman, verse 10. The He of this verse is allah, or the gathering, and the creation established by this gathering is the assembly, which is not a fixed entity, but rather a continuous process of confluence and contention among the multitudes of…

THE BIRTH OF FARGUS SK
There really isn’t a world as such, only the appearance of the world, which in reality is an interlocking system of organic machines, each with its own dimensions and rules, each utterly different from every other. The cogs and wheels and levers of these machines are made of green things, human things, wisps of cloud,…

MUHANNAD & THE DARK CAVE
Muhannad cowered in the darkness of the cave, pulling the woolen blanket closer to his face. It was the only sensory impression available for him to hold onto, other than the damp, cold, amorphous nothingness that pushed inward through his nostrils and in through the holes of his ears, and soaking into the pores in…

Or maybe it’s on a distant planet sphere, or maybe even…

HEILIG HOUSE
Heilig House: An Artistic (and Religious?) Revelationby Burt Sommers, for the Atlanta Daily PicayuneJanuary 10, 2011 You wouldn’t expect to find a place of pilgrimage in a 1960s era Atlanta suburb like this one, much less in an unassuming tan stucco craftsman-style home on this tony side street. But the Heilig House is turning heads…

THE GATHERING
Indeed, your lord is allah, who created the heavens and the earths in six days and then sat upon the throne. Chapter of the Heights, verse 54. I sought out that lord upon the throne on high, but found the throne was empty. There were thousands of millions of luminous beings encircling it and chanting…

MAGICAL ARKESTRA COSMOS
The cosmos is the tense silence at the beginning of a Sun Ra concert, like a membrane of darkness, the forces of mayhem building on just the other side of it. A baritone note pulses on the hammond organ, and the knock-knock-knock of the dionysian drum visitors who want to come in and spread a…
