The Secret of the Destroyer - Jon Eden Khan

You may have heard of me,

By fearful or reverential names,

Shiva, Yamantaka, Kali, or even Satan,

Many have been my faces through time.

I am the destroyer.

I am the one who brings death to universes, planets, bodies, and illusions.

When their cycles have run their course,

My time has come.

Some demonise me,

Some pray to me,

Most fear me,

Yet few know my secret.

My secret, the secret of the destroyer, is purity.

The liberation I bring is sourced in the sheer purity of my power,

I am the primordial darkness of spirit that is prior to all light,

Pure all-crushing Being - this is my nature.

Mine is the current of Life that brings death,

That shatters any form unable to bear my voltage,

The naked purity of this power cannot be held,

By the bodies of men, gods, or galaxies.

When you are ripe, my friend, and I come,

Fear not, but ready yourself for freedom.

I come as the liberator,

I come to take you home.

It is my promise that I will strip you to your core,

Until there is nothing left save your own bare essence,

I will shatter every lie you have housed yourself in,

And ravish every illusion that hides your infinity.

I will be merciless,

Despite your fear, your pleas, your begging, and your clinging,

And I invite you, my friend, to count your blessings,

That I do not believe your lies.

For what I know,

Is that you and I are of one essence in infinite, radical Being,

And I am here to split open your forgetfulness,

And deliver you back home.
