XI : TMC : Gone to Marble

by Dayran

 

 

 

 

A self revelation of the highest integrity,

Is seldom possible in the human flesh,

The mind defends itself against errors,

The heart and passions respond to cruelty,

Overall the individual identity is preserved,

While undertaking inquiries into our natures.

On account of this, man devises an instrument,

In marble, to which he gives his adoration,

So that he may bring to it all acts outside,

That would not affect his health and defenses,

In such a way was the world constructed,

For the relation to issues outside of the human,

So that he may understand his individual nature,

And in parts of the process, is identified with,

Such as Ptah the sky, Gaia the earth and so forth,

It allows for an orderly relation to issues,

Which would otherwise not be possible,

Simply as picture images in the mind.

Such is the view sometimes an individual,

Comes to have between himself and the world,

And such is the literature and scripture,

That has been handed down to man over the ages,

Like a Moses speaking to God on Mount Sinai.

To undertake such an inquiry today,

We rely on the very instruments the mind of man,

Has undertaken over the ages, it helps with relevance,

And to the continuity of man's experience as world.
