Poems that explore the spiritual experience of diverse animal species. They are excerpted from the Third Testament, a text that proposes a unification of all religions, attributed to Ionian Nazari and first published at the end of the Second Exodus of the Humanitat (see The Ido Chronicles , undergoing publication via Untimely Books). These poems grapple with the nature of the divine through the sense organs and perspectives of different animal species.

Metapsychosis presents the final pieces of the Creature Consciousness series, featuring lyrical poems by Daniel E. Haar and a deep dive into art and consciousness in ‘Art in the Age of Dreams,’ exploring the power of art to influence and transform the viewer’s experience.

In this deep dive into prehistoric art, discover how ancient cupules reveal humanity’s first expressions of self-awareness and sacred connection to stone.

Three formal poems that address a non-traditional (though at the same time archaic) subject of human exploration of non-human (especially animal) patterns of consciousness.

Metapsychosis invites submissions on the theme of crossing thresholds, exploring transitions in life, society, and consciousness. With a call for creative work due by January 19, we’re also working toward paying our writers and artists fairly through our Indiegogo campaign.

An old connection leads to a stunning collaboration, in this essay series exploring the mystical intersection of art, energy, and consciousness through radionics, ancient technologies, and the transformative power of creative intention.

A profound poetic journey exploring humanity’s connection to nature, consciousness, and spirituality through the mystical lens of an ancient, sentient tree’s perspective.

In a mysterious library of life’s recordings, a narrator seeks access to his own existential video, navigating the blurred lines between perception, memory, and the afterlife’s strange bureaucracy.

Metapsychosis brings you two new works: ‘Bird Brains’ by Marjorie Kaye, a speculative story of an intelligent alien species, and Brian George’s deep essay on L.E. Maroski’s book, ‘Embracing Paradox.’ Dive into these cosmic explorations and support our crowdfunder.

Can a book dream? Desire friendship? 5 years since the start of the pandemic, what have we learned about us and them, now and then, words and things? L.E. Maroski’s book has some untimely questions for us.

Life abounds in unmeasured joy. We are flying things, crawling things, growing things, all breathing together in an unbroken circle. All know this, and it is embedded into our every cell.

What if the veil is already lifted? In this elegiac yet stirring update, Marco Morelli reflects on living through the long dusk of a dying civilization. Through poetry, criticism, and visionary essays, Metapsychosis continues to probe the edges of meaning in a world haunted by its own collapse—welcoming ghosts, critics, and the deeply alive into its circle of discourse.

In an age of polarizing labels and reflexive outrage, we’re reminded: understanding is harder than condemnation—and far more necessary. In this open-hearted reflection, Marco Morelli revisits a past statement to explore nuance, responsibility, and the possibility of forgiveness, even in the face of darkness. The real work, he suggests, is spiritual: to stop the harm, then begin the healing.

This week on Metapsychosis: Jonathan Cobb explores cosmic resonance in “Harmonics and Unfolding,” while jazz composer Eric Zinman offers a sonic response to social upheaval with “Music for George Floyd.” Tune in—and be moved to reflect, and to act.

George Floyd’s final words are transformed into a haunting four-track composition, using rhythmic patterns and raw piano to channel collective rage and grief.

The ancients spoke of a “music of the spheres,” by which all of reality vibrated in a vast harmonious frequency. Rhythm and unfolding are fundamental to metaphysical and social reality.

This week on Metapsychosis: Brian George’s radiant poem “Sophia Versus the False Rulers” confronts gnostic power structures, Ross Klavan’s surreal tale “I’ll Fly Away” joins our Creature Consciousness series, and we revisit Caroline Savery’s visionary essay series, “Transmuting the Trumpocalypse.

A blocked screenwriter finds unlikely creative salvation when his wedding gift—a cage-bound parakeet—becomes his mysterious muse and collaborator in this surreal tale.

In this contemporary Gnostic-inspired poem excerpted from the collection X: Revenge of the Autogenes, the goddess of wisdom, Sophia, confronts the occult worldly powers and, as always, has the last word.

“Pearce’s ‘Earthscape’ collection offers a luminous glimpse into the mystery of Creature Consciousness, while Marjorie Kaye’s vibrant art and sci-fi storytelling invite us to imagine new worlds—and new thresholds to cross.”

All my children emanate innate energies of being, so I can find them swiftly. Solange is Intelligence. I find my children of Wisdom, Acute Observation, Irony, Independence, and lastly, my Queen of Daydreams. I think they were waiting for me. They are incubating in this world. A world of rain and water and earth.

What can we know of an animal and their story? No nature documentary can truly show us what is in the heart of an animal.

“As the days shorten and new challenges loom, our Creature Consciousness series brings poetry, art, and stories that spark ‘throbbing astonishment,’ while we prepare to launch Cosmos Co-op and celebrate the healing journey told in The Pressing Stones.”

Sometimes a class exercise changes lives and here I credit Hemingway’s creation of the Six Word Story. His World’s Saddest Story (For sale: baby shoes, never worn) reputedly won him a bar bet and has spawned dozens of websites devoted to flash fiction.
