An alchemic stone

So, too, the matter of the Stone shews most beautiful colours in the production of its flowers. The comparison, also, is apt, because a certain matter rises out of the philosophical earth, as if it were a thicket of branches and sprouts: like a sponge growing on the earth. They say, therefore, that the fruit of their tree tends towards heaven. So, then, they put forth that the whole thing hinged upon natural vegetables, though not as to its matter, because their stone contains within itself a body, soul, and spirit, as vegetables do.
from The Aurora of the Philosophers by Theophrastus Paracelsus

Country

The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns- puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
From Shakespeare's Hamlet

Space, time

"that everything which can be given to our senses (to the external senses in space, to the internal one in time) is intuited by us as it appears to us, not as it is in itself."
from Immanuel Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics

The hidden game

Time logic: the depth of this peaceful crest
Through looking glass is blessed into the Blue,
The drown of the crude crowds
New game will raise in water falls, a pure One.

The echoed harps are gathered by the poet
Into a reverse flight of loose sensations.
The hidden game is stopped,
As always does the sea with her green travel cups.

one, two, three

The duality of subject and object and trinity of seer, sight, and seen can exist only if supported by the One. If one turns inward in search of that One Reality they fall away. Those who see this are those who see Wisdom. They are never in doubt.

Colour

41. When the perturbations of the psychic nature have all been stilled,then the consciousness, like a pure crystal, takes the colour of what it rests on, whether that be the perceiver, perceiving, or the thing perceived.
From Patanjali - Yoga Sutras
