letter from Ireland
to Andre Breton 14 Sept. 1937
...It so happens that among the manifestations of that force of God there is what the Hindus call the Triad of Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu - what we call the Trinity of the Holy Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit - but in reality the Son-Shiva works AGAINST the MANIFESTATION OF CREATION by the HOLY FATHER, which is MAINTAINED by the Holy Spirit. Because the Son-Shiva also possesses Force, but it's the Force of Transmutation, that's to say the destruction of all forms, without ever stopping on any one of them, so that the force is the very force of the Absolute. Those who are searching for the absolute are allied with the Son, against the Father, and ABOVE ALL against the Holy Spirit...
