Eyes Wise Shut

The Lore of "Eyes Wide Shut"
"The Hiram Precedent" Most paths begin with a light. Ours begins with a shadow. By placing the Martyrdom of the Master (Track 2) at the threshold of the journey, we acknowledge that the Truth is currently buried. You do not walk these degrees to "become" something new; you walk them to recover what was stolen by the three ruffians of the ego. The sequence is the surgery. The sounds are the scalpels. Every track is a bone in the body of the #GrandArchitect being knit back together.
The Invitation, you did not find this record; the record found the frequency of your intent. Eyes Wide Shut is a sonic map of #theGreatWork the alchemical process of "#SolveetCoagula" (Dissolve and Coagulate). It is a digital lodge where the profane is stripped of his title, his metal, and his sight, only to be rebuilt as a living stone in the Temple of the Infinite.
The Architecture of the Sound, Each track is a Degree. The heavy 808s are the pulses of the #fibonaccisequence, vibrating at the resonance of the Earth's core. The lyrical density is modeled after mysticism, moving through the #Trivium and #Quadrivium. We do not speak in metaphors; we speak in correspondences.
The #ShadowWork: From the betrayal at the South Gate to the burial in the rubble of the temple, the album explores the "#HiramMyth" the necessity of the death of the ego to achieve the resurrection of the spirit.
The #33rdParallel: The album reaches its zenith at Track 15, mirroring the 33 vertebrae of the human spine. This is the Ascending Strand, the internal #JacobsLadder where the "Oil of Mercy" rises to the crown to activate the Blazing Star of the mind.
The Silence: In an era of noise, this album is a sanctuary of silence. It is for those who know that the most powerful words are the ones that are never whispered, only felt in the weight of the Plumb Line and the seal of the Trowel.
The Warning To listen is to take the oath. Once the hoodwink is removed, you cannot unsee the Mosaic Flooring of reality. The duality of light and shadow will become your constant companion. You are no longer a spectator of history; you are an initiate of the #GrandSchematic.
