The Polemics of Jack
by Jack Cross
Welcome to The Polemics of Jack
The Polemics, as I lovingly refer to my writings, are intended to be a collection of short articles, art-i-facts, journey notes, diagrams, ecstatic poetry, sleight-of-hand with Compass, Square and Pen, written exclusively under the influence of Soul-Mind-Manifesting Agents, secret and sacred. For those not familiar with the word ‘polemic,’ it means ‘WAR,’ and every man is Jack.
Simultaneously, I would like to welcome you to my hallucinations, of a Christ Complexicon made of the shapes of letters, and morphemes, the constituents of words, a complex-lexicon of Geometry and Archetype and Alphabet moving through time to a Receiver. YOU are reading a code.
Shamanism is primarily concerned with healing and meaning, which are directly experienced and learned through discipline from one’s own HIGHER SELF, who shall remain Nameless, and integrated into one’s so-called ordinary life.
These are the ashes of an extra-ordinary Journey, inward, in Word.
En-J-oy,
Jack Cross

The Spine of the Mind by Jack Cross
This is a difficult thing to explain, but it kind of reminds me of this observation of subatomic particles, where you cannot determine both WHERE and WHEN an event will occur, be-CAUSE, at the subatomic level, the observation of the observer appears to affect the...

The Language of Unity: An interview with Jack Cross about Entheogens, Shamanism and the Geometric structure of the English/Latin Alphabet
The compass and square are ‘instruments of measurement,’ to measure the ‘MENT,’ the ‘MIND.’ Interestingly, the compass and square are tools ‘belonging to a carpenter.’ Got wood?

Transcendental Objects

In the M-iddle, at the bottom of the ‘U,’ of yo-U, between the ‘M’ and the ‘N’ in the ‘MUN’ of Com-MUN-ion, when and where the ‘I’ is M-i-N-i-M-ised, at the bottom of a c-U-p, a c-U-pel, a cr-U-cible, the Holy Grail.
The Etymology of Healing

A Word about Knowledge
‘Epistemology’ is defined as ‘THE THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE.’ ‘Spectators’ have ‘theories,’ Serpents do not.

The Hidden Meaning of THIS
Before I had ever been to New York City, I had a dream that I was there on a busy street near the corner of a tall building, and there was this black guy standing behind these large dark wooden carvings that were like paintings, but carved into wood. I’d say they were about 4 feet wide by 5 feet tall, and I noticed that in each one of these very beautiful and intricate carvings was hidden the word THIS.

The Morphemes of Hallelujah
‘JAH’ is a Map of God in morpheme structure. The ‘J’ is an A-XIS POLE MADE OF LIGHT, a flame, the Wizard’s Magic Wand, burning inside the First Letter of the ‘A-lphabet,’ a cone.
