It's Not
A Noun Edition
|
That which falls, arises; that which leaves, returns.
Only forms could do otherwise and no such form
has yet been seen by the Few.
Only the Few know "I" as a verb, not a noun.
To be properly "hit" one must be blind-sided (and part of
the profit of such an unexpected attack is in being made to see
that one has a blind side).One suitable, picture-definition of ordinary man is in him
buying caged birds from a priest so as to release them for
assumed spiritual reward.Ordinary man's acceptance of, "Love being a hurting thing,"
would, to the keen-of-eye, be further proof of his destiny to
suffer, in that this "love," which he proclaims to be his highest
personal and spiritual aspiration is itself a constant source of
discomfort and tension.
Ordinary, nervous-system-man has been made to take his own
physical existence as of extreme importance in the general scheme
of life on this level. The belief in the sanctity and holiness
of human life is a necessary background for Life's continued
expansion and growth. This belief is also tied to him accepting
himself as a "thing," an identifiable, individual personality, distinct
somehow from the apparently personality-less remainder of creation.
