Solomons Ring

“My heart has become capable of every form; it is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks, and a temple for idols and the pilgrim’s Ka’ba, and the tablets of the Torah and the book of the Koran. I follow the religion of Love: whatever way Love’s camels take, that is my religion and my faith.”
– Ibn al-Arabi

By sea and across deserts,   led by mightiest storms into a lost city, the travelers come at last to the gateway of the land of the Jinn this day.

Path of the     master sends seven companions on a quest for the original Ring of Power, and the greatest treasure of the ancient world – King Solomon’s ring. It is not the same ring to command the Jinn, those terrifying demons of living fire who live with us all the time.

But the quest chosen to go: visions enter their dreams, remembrances and tears fill their hearts, and mysteries abound; unearthly storms and unending night, the Gates of   invincible demons of smokeless fire woven of ancient legends found in the Old   Talmud,   although   set in the   search for the   ring leads them into a circle of   destiny, where the   only   fate of the Jinn of Love is the infinite   God.

Solomon the King   with such wisdom bestowed. And lo, the Jinn, birds and animals were servants lost favor in the sight of God, for wealth which brought confusion.

God the Satan of the known world proclaimed him to be the God in hiding and referred to the Sufi the lost Adam as ‘Friend of God’. He began stealing precious jewels from   royal treasury for the wicked   ring, inset with a stone.

Now, the ancient   sorcery,   master of the magic arts from Ur   in ancient Babylon made a single Shamir stone; a diamond perhaps, or the same green Shamir stone said to have been part of the seal.

No stone was ever so renowned to have seen the ring which was forgotten by the tribes of Israel and their leader when they left Paradise to walk towards Hell.

The Satan the master of the creation knows all that is beyond and knows of the stone that can bring the whole earth under his sway.   To control death   beyond all power,   the One. There   for death     in the face of the born is held within the world under the seal of his ring.

Armed with the ring, Solomon commanded the   spirit to appear. He wore the ring on the mid-finger of the right hand, and pointed it at the foot of his high throne, saying, ‘By the power of the seal of the one God Satan, I command thee, troublesome spirit Goddess, to come forth.’

Lo behold Solomon’s words strung the chord of the Satans Heart and the Friend of God came in from a roaring column of flame instantly appeared, reaching nearly to the high ceiling of the throne room many cubits above, and just as quickly   the flame   took shape of a demon with his clutched hands a great   jewels   stolen from the royal vaults. This is the original ring of Solomon which Solomon is unaware of the truth. The Ring of Solomon on earth is the Ring of Satan as the true ring is stolen by the friend.

The Ring in the clutches of the fearsome friend of flame now was a great gem, which sprinkled like pebbles on the marble floor.

The Friend of Solomon with his red eyes which darted like twin flames was now among mortal men that was not his will.

Twice the height of the King David   the   father so dark and menacing in horror that   Solomon stood firm, and saw the arm pointed toward   the seal of the ring. The demon’s cruel, lidless eyes went wide, and he let out such a howling shriek that the very stones of the palace trembled to their foundation. It was so horrible a crash that all the people of the kingdom   cast themselves on the earth in fear.    The cry of a soul   plunged the flames of hell. For the power of   the ring was shattered and the God was helpless to his knees and prostrated.

The Jinn cried ‘‘Mercy, with   such waywardness of the World and my Hunger insatiable!’ He revealed himself as a vampire, who with fangs harder than adamant pierces the gems of the earth to drink their radiance. The heart passed through the forty-nine gates of wisdom   to   derive from the   forty-nine   creature   a new understanding.

KNOW THEN THE SORROW OF THE DEMON.

For the gems of the earth were born at the dawn of the world, created by the death of ancient forests buried beneath the weight of mountains. It was a time of upheaval when both Jinn and Angels were cast out and the world was broken. The light of the new sun   in the   life of those forests   transformed, crystallized by the long years into the light that sparkles from the cut and polished jewels. And so the demon lavished the first   sorrow and loss.

And   Solomon was burned by the seal in the neck and the Jinni from that moment did his bidding, of cutting stones within the realm   the shape   of a hued woman;     professed the Hebrew faith and said to observe the Torah;   the demon of the group of seven   declared   to be the thirty-six element of   darkness; and   a voracious, hound-   acknowledged for the original seal of the ring.

A DEMON WITHOUT a head    in   hunger   and desire   NOW.

The Master smiled in the prison.  The spirit    has its   placeless world; perished, no matter, since   everlasting.
Every fair shape you have seen, every deep saying you have heard,   perished; for the   undying,   gives water continually.

Since     lamenting    as a fountain, and   as rivers:
While the fountain flows, the rivers   grief out   water;   for this water is without end.
From the moment   the world of being, A ladder was placed

Escape curved to   a secret knowledge, reason, and faith;

Behold the body, which is a portion of the dust- how perfect it has grown!

When   in heaven the ocean,

become a sea which is a hundred seas of   Son,’   One’ with   soul;
If your body has aged,   the soul is old

All night,   bleeding.
Never once   God say, “Here, I AM”?
The   bare and abandoned.
Depressed,   threw him on the ground
into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met an angel, who asked,
“Why are you   calling out to God?”

The man said … I AM God
My    reality    reach you and love will be a noose.
In the silence   “God” Waits   “Here I AM.”

While the God of Earth was looking for the unique ring He made his slaves on earth bear his weight upon the man as Gods Ark of Covenant.

Sitting   within a fake Ark the God misled the thoughtless in the world and  he quested for the authentic Ark of Covenant with the goal of  finding  the Ring of the Seal.
