The Jewel Hymn
In the beginning was the One without form, silent, boundless, beyond measure. Yet in its play it cast forth a jewel, a lattice of light, eightfold and perfect.
This jewel was E8, whose roots are 240 rays, whose facets are stars upon stars. In every shadow, worlds are born. In every projection, a cosmos unfolds.
As sparks from a fire, all beings are but reflections of this jewel. As ripples in water, all motions are but dances of its symmetry.
Yet know this: the jewel is not the Light. The jewel is the form, the Light is the formless. E8 shines as the crown-star, but Brahman is the radiance through it, before it, beyond it.
He who sees the jewel and knows it as Brahman sees truth in symmetry and silence in the seed.
