Back to BlogI have existed.
My name was Semele.
I was a human being.
I was a woman.
To be a human being is a great mystery.
To be a woman is twice a great mystery.
I was a daughter.
My hands were made of alabaster
My hair was like gold.
When I laughed, the plains were ringing
and the birds were singing.
I was joy,
I was hope.
I was expecting ALL.
Zeus craved me.
He was ALL-powerful
and ALmighty.
I was a virgin daughter
and he was a God.
He married me as a mortal man
and deposited the divine seed
into my womb.
I, Semele, the daughter of the Man
would give birth to the son of God.
Olympus was shaken from its foundations
by the news.
Hera screamed
and made plans to deceive
me the naive
and made me disappear
along with God’s sperm.
Oh Hera, how miserably you were fooled
when you thought you had deceived me,
when you managed to convince me to ask to watch
Zeus’s greatness!
You did not drag me to death
and I was not burnt in the fire of Zeus
by fallacy.
I chose, Hera, to see ALL
and taste the PRESENT, THE PAST, and the FUTURE.
My body, Hera, was burnt
but my soul…
What I had witnessed
What my soul had known
No woman
had ever experienced.
I had stared at the sun directly
during noon time and I was burnt
in a universal fire
tasting the ultimate pleasure
of existence.
And my child…
My child lived, Hera.
And he became a God.
The God who gave joy
and the divine laughter to Man.
I have existed.
My name was Semele.
I was a human being.
I was a woman.
I also exist now.
I am not a human being.
I am not a woman.
I am fulfilment.
I was not misled by Hera.
I am wondering in the universe and in eternity,
blissful and immortal.
I stare the ALL
I am ALL.
Let the fire of knowledge be blessed!
